Numbers 5

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 耶和华对摩西说：

2 “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone with a skin disease, anyone who has a bodily discharge, and anyone who is defiled by a dead body.

2 “你吩咐以色列人把所有患麻风病、漏症和因碰过死尸而不洁净的人，

3 You must send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.”

3 无论男女，都送到营外，免得他们玷污了营地，因为我住在其中。”

4 So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.

4 以色列人遵命而行，照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，把这些人送到营外。

5 And the LORD said to Moses,

5 耶和华对摩西说：

6 “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by committing any sin against another, that person is guilty

6 “你把以下条例告诉以色列人：无论男女，若亏负别人，以致失信于耶和华，就是犯罪。

7 and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution, add a fifth to its value, and give all this to the one he has wronged.

7 那人必须认罪，赔偿受害人全部损失，并加赔五分之一。

8 But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.

8 如果受害人已死，又没有可以接受赔偿的近亲，赔偿就属于耶和华，要归祭司所有。那人还要再献上一只公绵羊为自己赎罪。

9 Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.

9 以色列人带来奉献的一切圣物都要归祭司所有。

10 Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”

10 各人奉献的圣物，无论是什么，都要归祭司所有。”

11 Then the LORD said to Moses,

11 耶和华对摩西说：

12 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him

12–14 “你把以下条例告诉以色列人：若有人怀疑妻子出轨，暗中与人通奸，玷污了自己，却没有证人，也没有当场抓住她，在无法确定是自己疑心还是妻子不贞的情况下，

13 by sleeping with another man, and it is concealed from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she was not caught in the act),

14 and if a feeling of jealousy comes over her husband and he suspects his wife who has defiled herself—or if a feeling of jealousy comes over him and he suspects her even though she has not defiled herself—

15 then he is to bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring for her an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil over it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, an offering of memorial as a reminder of iniquity.

15 他要带妻子到祭司那里，同时为妻子带去一公斤大麦面粉作为供物。不可在上面浇油或加乳香，因为这是因疑心而献上的素祭，是让人回忆过犯的素祭。

16 The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.

16 “祭司要把那妇人带到耶和华面前，

17 Then he is to take some holy water in a clay jar and put some of the dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.

17 用陶器盛一些圣水，从圣幕的地上取一些尘土撒在水中，

18 After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.

18 然后让那妇人站在耶和华面前，解开她的头发，把回忆过犯的素祭，就是因疑心而献的素祭放在她手里。祭司要拿着带给罪人咒诅的苦水，

19 And he is to put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune to this bitter water that brings a curse.

19 叫她发誓。祭司要对她说，‘如果你没有背着丈夫与人通奸，没有因出轨而玷污自己，就不会被这苦水所害。

20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and have defiled yourself and lain carnally with a man other than your husband’—

20 如果你曾出轨，背着丈夫与人通奸，以致玷污自己，

21 and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.

21 愿耶和华使你大腿消瘦、肚腹肿胀，使你在同胞中成为咒诅。

22 May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’

22 愿这可带来咒诅的苦水进入你体内，使你肚腹肿胀、大腿消瘦。’她要说，‘阿们 ！阿们！’

23 And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.

23 祭司要把这咒诅写在书卷上，再放在苦水里把字洗掉。

24 He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and may cause her bitter suffering.

24 祭司要让妇人喝这可带来咒诅的苦水，不忠的妇人喝下后，肚子会感到剧痛。

25 The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.

25 祭司要从妇人手中接过她丈夫因疑心而献的素祭，在耶和华面前摇一摇，然后带到祭坛那里。

26 Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.

26 他要从素祭中取出一把面粉，作为象征放在祭坛上焚烧，然后叫那妇人喝下苦水。

27 When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.

27 如果她曾玷污自己，背叛了丈夫，这可带来咒诅的苦水进入她体内后，会引起剧痛，使她肚腹肿胀、大腿消瘦，她将在同胞中成为咒诅。

28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.

28 但如果她是贞洁的，没有玷污自己，就不会受伤害，仍能生育。

29 This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,

29 “这就是处理丈夫怀疑妻子不贞的条例。遇到妻子背着丈夫与人通奸，

30 or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.

30 或是丈夫怀疑妻子不贞，就要让妻子站在耶和华面前，由祭司对她执行这条例。

31 The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”

31 无论结果怎样，丈夫都无罪，但妻子若有罪，必承担罪责。”
