Levítico 12
1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses, “Give these instructions to the Israelites.
2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: La mujer cuando concibiere y diere a luz varón, será inmunda siete días; conforme a los días que está separada por su menstruo, será inmunda.
Any woman who becomes pregnant and has a boy, she will be unclean for one week, in the same way that she is unclean during her period.
3 Y al octavo día circuncidará la carne de su prepucio.
The boy's foreskin must be circumcised on the eighth day.
4 Mas ella permanecerá treinta y tres días en la sangre de su purgación; ninguna cosa santa tocará, ni vendrá al santuario, hasta que sean cumplidos los días de su purgación.
The woman must wait a further thirty-three days for the purification of her bleeding. She is not allowed to touch anything holy, and she is not allowed to enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is finished.
5 Y si diere a luz hembra será inmunda dos semanas, conforme a su separación, y sesenta y seis días estará purificándose de su sangre.
If a woman has a daughter, she will be unclean for two weeks, in the same way that she is unclean during her menstrual period. The woman must wait a further sixty-six days for the purification of her blood.
6 Y cuando los días de su purgación fueren cumplidos, por hijo o por hija, traerá un cordero de un año para holocausto, y un palomino o una tórtola para expiación, a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, al sacerdote;
Once the time of purification is finished for either a son or a daughter, the woman must bring a year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or turtledove as a purification offering. She is to bring her offerings to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
7 y lo ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR, y la reconciliará, y será limpia del flujo de su sangre. Esta es la ley de la que diere a luz varón o hembra.
The priest will then present them to the Lord to purify her so she will be clean from her bleeding. These are the regulations for a woman after she's had a son or a daughter.
8 Y si no tiene lo suficiente para un cordero, tomará entonces dos tórtolas o dos palominos, uno para holocausto, y otro para expiación; y la reconciliará el sacerdote, y será limpia.
If a woman can't afford to bring a lamb, she is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One is for the burnt offering and the other for the purification offering. The priest will offer them to purify her, and she will be clean.”
