English Standard Version ESV
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 praecipe filiis Israhel ut eiciant de castris omnem leprosum et qui semine fluit pollutusque est super mortuo
2
"Command the people of Israel that they put out of the camp everyone who is leprous or has a discharge and everyone who is unclean through contact with the dead.
3 tam masculum quam feminam eicite de castris ne contaminent ea cum habitaverim vobiscum
3
You shall put out both male and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
4 feceruntque ita filii Israhel et eiecerunt eos extra castra sicut locutus erat Dominus Mosi
4
And the people of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the LORD said to Moses, so the people of Israel did.
5 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
5
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 loquere ad filios Israhel vir sive mulier cum fecerint ex omnibus peccatis quae solent hominibus accidere et per neglegentiam transgressi fuerint mandatum Domini atque deliquerint
6
"Speak to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the LORD, and that person realizes his guilt,
7 confitebuntur peccatum suum et reddent ipsum caput quintamque partem desuper ei in quem peccaverint
7
he shall confess his sin that he has committed.And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.
8 sin autem non fuerit qui recipiat dabunt Domino et erit sacerdotis excepto ariete qui offertur pro expiatione ut sit placabilis hostia
8
But if the man has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the LORD for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him.
9 omnes quoque primitiae quas offerunt filii Israhel ad sacerdotem pertinent
9
And every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
10 et quicquid in sanctuarium offertur a singulis et traditur manibus sacerdotis ipsius erit
10
Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his."
11 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
11
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 loquere ad filios Israhel et dices ad eos vir cuius uxor erraverit maritumque contemnens
12
"Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him,
13 dormierit cum altero viro et hoc maritus deprehendere non quiverit sed latet adulterium et testibus argui non potest quia non est inventa in stupro
13
if a man lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, since she was not taken in the act,
14 si spiritus zelotypiae concitaverit virum contra uxorem suam quae vel polluta est vel falsa suspicione appetitur
14
and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself,
15 adducet eam ad sacerdotem et offeret oblationem pro illa decimam partem sati farinae hordiaciae non fundet super eam oleum nec inponet tus quia sacrificium zelotypiae est et oblatio investigans adulterium
15
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 offeret igitur eam sacerdos et statuet coram Domino
16
"And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD.
17 adsumetque aquam sanctam in vase fictili et pauxillum terrae de pavimento tabernaculi mittet in eam
17
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
18 cumque steterit mulier in conspectu Domini discoperiet caput eius et ponet super manus illius sacrificium recordationis et oblationem zelotypiae ipse autem tenebit aquas amarissimas in quibus cum execratione maledicta congessit
18
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD and unbind the hair of the woman's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
19 adiurabitque eam et dicet si non dormivit vir alienus tecum et si non polluta es deserto mariti toro non te nocebunt aquae istae amarissimae in quas maledicta congessi
19
Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse.
20 sin autem declinasti a viro tuo atque polluta es et concubuisti cum altero
20
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
21 his maledictionibus subiacebis det te Dominus in maledictionem exemplumque cunctorum in populo suo putrescere faciat femur tuum et tumens uterus disrumpatur
21
then' (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) 'the LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh fall away and your body swell.
22 ingrediantur aquae maledictae in ventrem tuum et utero tumescente putrescat femur et respondebit mulier amen amen
22
May this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.' And the woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
23 scribetque sacerdos in libello ista maledicta et delebit ea aquis amarissimis in quas maledicta congessit
23
"Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness.
24 et dabit ei bibere quas cum exhauserit
24
And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain.
25 tollet sacerdos de manu eius sacrificium zelotypiae et elevabit illud coram Domino inponetque super altare ita dumtaxat ut prius
25
And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand and shall wave the grain offering before the LORD and bring it to the altar.
26 pugillum sacrificii tollat de eo quod offertur et incendat super altare et sic potum det mulieri aquas amarissimas
26
And the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 quas cum biberit si polluta est et contempto viro adulterii rea pertransibunt eam aquae maledictionis et inflato ventre conputrescet femur eritque mulier in maledictionem et in exemplum omni populo
27
And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people.
28 quod si polluta non fuerit erit innoxia et faciet liberos
28
But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.
29 ista est lex zelotypiae si declinaverit mulier a viro suo et si polluta fuerit
29
"This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, though under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself,
30 maritusque zelotypiae spiritu concitatus adduxerit eam in conspectu Domini et fecerit ei sacerdos iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt
30
or when the spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife. Then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall carry out for her all this law.
31 maritus absque culpa erit et illa recipiet iniquitatem suam
31
The man shall be free from iniquity, but the woman shall bear her iniquity."
