Levitski Zakonik 12
1 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem, i reci: kad žena zatrudni i rodi muško, neèista da je sedam dana; kao u dane kad se odvaja radi nemoæi svoje, biæe neèista.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
3 A u osmi dan neka se obreže dijete.
The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
4 A ona još trideset i tri dana neka ostane èisteæi se od krvi; nijedne svete stvari da se ne dodijeva i u svetinju da ne ide dok se ne navrše dani èišæenja njezina.
Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
5 A kad rodi žensko, onda da je neèista dvije nedjelje dana, kao kad se odvaja radi nemoæi svoje, i šezdeset i šest dana neka ostane èisteæi se od krvi.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
6 A kad se navrše dani èišæenja njezina radi sina ili radi kæeri, neka donese svešteniku na vrata šatora od sastanka jagnje od godine za žrtvu paljenicu, i golupèe ili grlicu za žrtvu radi grijeha.
‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
7 I sveštenik æe prinijeti žrtvu pred Gospodom, i oèistiæe je od grijeha njezina; i tako æe se oèistiti od teèenja krvi svoje. To je zakon za ženu kad rodi muško ili žensko.
The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
8 Ako li ne može dati jagnjeta, onda neka uzme dvije grlice ili dva golubiæa, jedno za žrtvu paljenicu a drugo za žrtvu radi grijeha; i oèistiæe je sveštenik od grijeha njezina i biæe èista.
If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
