Leviticus 12

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 耶和华对摩西说：

2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.

2 “你把以下条例告诉以色列人。 “如果有妇人生了男婴，她就要不洁净七天，像在经期内不洁净一样。

3 And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

3 第八天，婴儿要接受割礼。

4 The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

4 妇人因产后流血，要等三十三天才能洁净。其间，不可接触任何圣物，也不可进入圣所。

5 If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

5 如果妇人生的是女婴，她就要不洁净十四天，像在经期内不洁净一样。她因产后流血，要等六十六天才能洁净。

6 When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

6 她不论生男生女，洁净期满后，都要预备一只一岁的羊羔作燔祭、一只雏鸽或斑鸠作赎罪祭，带到会幕门口交给祭司。

7 And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

7 祭司要在耶和华面前献祭，为她赎罪，她的流血状况才算洁净。这是有关产妇生男生女的条例。

8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

8 她若负担不起一只羊羔，可以带两只斑鸠或雏鸽来，一只作燔祭，一只作赎罪祭。祭司为她赎罪后，她就洁净了。”
