Brojevi 5
1 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Zapovjedi sinovima Izrailjevijem neka istjeraju iz okola sve gubave i sve kojima teèe sjeme i sve koji su se oskvrnili o mrtvaca,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
3 Bio èovjek ili žena, istjerajte, iza okola istjerajte ih, da ne skvrne okola onima meðu kojima nastavam.
Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
4 I uèiniše tako sinovi Izrailjevi, i istjeraše ih iz okola; kako Gospod kaza Mojsiju, tako uèiniše sinovi Izrailjevi.
So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
5 Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
6 Reci sinovima Izrailjevijem: èovjek ili žena kad uèini kakav grijeh ljudski, te zgriješi Gospodu, i bude ona duša kriva,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
7 Tada neka priznadu grijeh koji su uèinili, i ko je kriv neka vrati cijelo èim je kriv i neka dometne ozgo peti dio i da onomu kome je skrivio.
That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
8 I ako onaj nema nikoga komu bi pripala naknada za štetu, neka se da Gospodu i neka bude svešteniku osim ovna za oèišæenje kojim æe ga oèistiti.
If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
9 Tako i svaki prinos izmeðu svijeh stvari koje posveæuju sinovi Izrailjevi i donose svešteniku, njegov neka bude;
All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
10 I što god ko posveti, neka je njegovo, i što god ko da svešteniku, neka je njegovo.
The priest can keep those gifts.’”
11 Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
12 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim i reci im: èija bi žena zastranila te bi mu zgriješila,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
13 I drugi bi je obležao, a muž njezin ne bi znao, nego bi ona zatajila da se oskvrnila, i ne bi bilo svjedoka na nju, niti bi se zatekla,
but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
14 A njemu bi došla sumnja ljubavna, te bi iz ljubavi sumnjao na svoju ženu, a ona bi bila oskvrnjena; ili bi mu došla sumnja ljubavna te bi iz ljubavi sumnjao na svoju ženu, a ona ne bi bila oskvrnjena;
But if the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true or not,
15 Onda neka muž dovede ženu svoju k svešteniku, i neka donese za nju prinos njezin, deseti dio efe brašna jeèmenoga, ali neka ga ne polije uljem i neka ne metne na nj kada, jer je prinos za sumnju ljubavnu, dar za spomen da se spomene grijeh;
he should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
16 I neka je sveštenik privede i postavi pred Gospodom.
The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
17 I neka uzme sveštenik svete vode u sud zemljani; i praha s poda u šatoru neka uzme i uspe u vodu.
He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
18 I postavivši sveštenik ženu pred Gospodom neka joj otkrije glavu i metne joj na ruke dar za spomen koji je dar za sumnju ljubavnu; a sveštenik neka drži u ruci svojoj gorku vodu, koja nosi prokletstvo.
He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
19 I neka sveštenik zakune ženu, i reèe joj: ako nije niko spavao s tobom, i ako nijesi zastranila od muža svojega na neèistotu, neka ti ne bude ništa od ove vode gorke, koja nosi prokletstvo.
The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
20 Ako li si zastranila od muža svojega i oskvrnila se, i kogod drugi osim muža tvojega spavao s tobom,
But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
21 Tada sveštenik zaklinjuæi ženu neka je prokune i reèe ženi: da te Gospod postavi za uklin i za kletvu u narodu tvom uèinivši da ti bedro spadne a trbuh oteèe.
Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
22 I neka ti ova voda prokleta uðe u crijeva da ti oteèe trbuh i da ti bedro spadne. A žena neka reèe: amin, amin.
23 Tada neka napiše sveštenik te kletve u knjigu, i neka ih spere vodom gorkom.
‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink off into the bitter water].
24 I neka da ženi da se napije gorke vode proklete da uðe u nju voda prokleta i bude gorka.
The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
25 I neka uzme sveštenik iz ruku ženi dar za sumnju ljubavnu, i obrne dar pred Gospodom i prinese ga na oltaru.
26 I neka uzme sveštenik u šaku od dara njezina spomen, i zapali na oltaru, pa onda neka da ženi vodu da popije.
and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
27 A kad joj da vodu da pije, ako se bude oskvrnila i uèinila nevjeru mužu svojemu, onda æe uæi voda prokleta u nju i postaæe gorka, i trbuh æe joj oteæi i spasti bedro, i ona æe žena postati uklin u narodu svojem.
If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
28 Ako li se ne bude oskvrnila žena, nego bude èista, neæe joj biti ništa i imaæe djece.
But if she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
29 Ovo je zakon za sumnju ljubavnu, kad žena zastrani od muža svojega i oskvrni se;
‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
30 Ili kad kome doðe sumnja ljubavna te posumnja iz ljubavi na ženu svoju i postavi je pred Gospodom i svrši joj sveštenik sve po ovom zakonu.
or when a man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
31 I muž da je prost od grijeha, ali žena da nosi svoje bezakonje.
Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
