Numbers 5
World English Bible
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse. 3 You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
4 The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty, 7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty. 8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him. 9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. 10 Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act; 14 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled; 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah[a] of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory. 16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh. 17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse. 19 The priest shall cause her to take an oath and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse. 20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—” 21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; 22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”
23 “‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness. 24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people. 28 If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.[b]
29 “‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled, 30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”

5 Poi l'Eterno parlò a Mosè, dicendo:
2 «Ordina ai figli d'Israele che mandino fuori dell'accampamento ogni lebbroso, chiunque ha un flusso o è impuro per il contatto con un corpo morto.
3 Mandate fuori sia maschi che femmine; li manderete fuori dell'accampamento perché non contaminino il loro accampamento in mezzo al quale io abito».
4 E i figli d'Israele fecero così e li mandarono fuori del campo. Come l'Eterno aveva parlato a Mosè, così fecero i figli d'Israele.
5 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
6 Di' ai figli d'Israele: Quando un uomo o una donna commette qualsiasi offesa contro qualcuno, così facendo, commette un peccato contro l'Eterno, e questa persona si rende colpevole;
7 essa confesserà l'offesa commessa e farà piena restituzione del danno fatto, aggiungendovi un quinto e lo darà a colui che ha offeso.
8 Ma se questi non ha alcun parente stretto a cui si possa fare restituzione per l'offesa, la restituzione andrà all'Eterno per il sacerdote, oltre al montone espiatorio, col quale si farà espiazione per lui.
9 Ogni offerta elevata di tutte le cose consacrate che i figli d'Israele presenteranno al sacerdote, apparterrà a lui.
10 Le cose che uno consacrerà saranno del sacerdote; ciò che uno dà al sacerdote apparterrà a lui».
11 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
12 «Parla ai figli d'Israele e di' loro: Se una donna si svia dal marito e commette una infedeltà contro di lui,
13 e un uomo ha rapporti sessuali con lei, ma la cosa è nascosta agli occhi di suo marito; quando la sua contaminazione rimane nascosta, perché non c'è alcun testimone contro di lei e non è stata colta sul fatto,
14 se uno spirito di gelosia lo prende ed egli diventa geloso della moglie che si è contaminata; oppure, se uno spirito di gelosia lo prende ed egli diventa geloso della moglie anche se essa non si è contaminata,
15 l'uomo condurrà sua moglie dal sacerdote e porterà un'offerta per lei: un decimo d'efa di farina d'orzo; non vi verserà sopra olio né vi metterà sopra incenso, perché è un'oblazione di cibo per gelosia, un'oblazione commemorativa, destinata a ricordare una colpa.
16 Il sacerdote farà avvicinare la donna e la farà stare in piedi davanti all'Eterno.
17 Poi il sacerdote prenderà dell'acqua santa in un vaso di terra; prenderà pure della polvere che è sul pavimento del tabernacolo e la metterà nell'acqua.
18 Il sacerdote farà quindi stare la donna in piedi davanti all'Eterno, le scoprirà il capo e metterà nelle sue mani l'oblazione commemorativa, che è l'oblazione di cibo per la gelosia, mentre il sacerdote avrà in mano l'acqua amara che porta maledizione.
19 Poi il sacerdote farà giurare la donna e le dirà: "Se nessun uomo si è coricato con te e se non ti sei sviata per contaminarti, mentre eri sposata a tuo marito, sii immune da ogni effetto nocivo di quest'acqua amara che porta maledizione.
20 Ma se tu ti sei sviata, mentre eri sposata a tuo marito, e ti sei contaminata e un uomo che non sia tuo marito ha avuto rapporti sessuali con te"
21 allora il sacerdote farà giurare la donna con un giuramento di maledizione e le dirà: "L'Eterno faccia di te un oggetto di maledizione e di imprecazione fra il tuo popolo, quando farà dimagrire i tuoi fianchi e gonfiare il tuo ventre;
22 e quest'acqua che porta maledizione ti entri nelle viscere e ti faccia gonfiare il ventre e dimagrire i fianchi!". E la donna dirà: "Amen! Amen!".
23 Poi il sacerdote scriverà queste maledizioni in un rotolo e le farà scomparire nell'acqua amara.
24 Farà quindi bere alla donna dell'acqua amara che porta maledizione e l'acqua che porta maledizione entrerà in lei per produrre amarezza;
25 poi il sacerdote prenderà dalle mani della donna l'oblazione di cibo per la gelosia, agiterà l'oblazione davanti all'Eterno e l'offrirà sull'altare;
26 il sacerdote prenderà una manciata dell'oblazione di cibo come suo ricordo e la farà fumare sull'altare; quindi farà bere l'acqua alla donna.
27 Dopo che le avrà fatto bere l'acqua, avverrà che se ella si è contaminata e ha commesso una infedeltà contro suo marito, l'acqua che porta maledizione entrerà in lei per produrre amarezza; il suo ventre gonfierà, i suoi fianchi dimagriranno e quella donna diventerà una maledizione in mezzo al suo popolo.
28 Ma se la donna non si è contaminata ed è pura sarà riconosciuta innocente e avrà dei figli.
29 Questa è la legge per la gelosia, nel caso in cui una moglie, mentre è sposata a un uomo, si svia e si contamina,
30 o nel caso in cui lo spirito di gelosia prende un uomo e questi diventa geloso di sua moglie; egli farà comparire sua moglie davanti all'Eterno e il sacerdote applicherà a lei questa legge integralmente.
31 Il marito sarà immune da colpa, ma la donna porterà la pena della sua iniquità».

A pureza do acampamento
5 São mais estas as instruções do Senhor a Moisés: 2 “Informa o povo de Israel de que deverão pôr fora do acampamento todos os leprosos, todos os que tiveram um corrimento, ou que se tenham tornado impuros por terem tocado num morto. 3 Isto aplica-se tanto a homens como a mulheres. Afastem-nos pois para que não contaminem o acampamento onde vivo no meio deles.” 4 A estas instruções foi, portanto, dado cumprimento.
5 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: 6 “Diz ao povo de Israel que quando alguém, homem ou mulher, transgredir contra o Senhor, faltando a um compromisso financeiro que tiver tomado, isso é um pecado. 7 Terá de confessar o seu pecado e pagar à pessoa lesada a totalidade daquilo que defraudou, juntando ainda mais vinte por cento. 8 E se esta última já tiver morrido, e não houver parentes próximos a quem a dívida seja paga, deverá entregar esse montante ao sacerdote, juntamente com o carneiro para a expiação da culpa. 9-10 Aliás, sempre que o povo de Israel trouxer um donativo consagrado, este deverá ser sempre apresentado aos sacerdotes.”
O teste da culpa de uma mulher infiel
11 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés: 12 “Diz ao povo de Israel que se uma mulher cometer adultério, 13-15 mas se não houver provas nem testemunhas, e o seu marido tiver ciúmes e suspeitas dela, trará a sua mulher ao sacerdote com uma oferta por ela, de três litros de farinha de cevada sem azeite nem incenso misturado, porque se trata de uma oferta de suspeitas, a fim de trazer à luz a verdade, e ver se é realmente culpada.
16 O sacerdote deverá trazê-la diante do Senhor; 17 porá água santa num jarro, misturando-lhe pó apanhado do chão do tabernáculo. 18 Depois desata-lhe os cabelos e põe-lhe a oferta nas mãos, a fim de verificar se as suspeitas do marido são ou não justificadas. O sacerdote ficará na frente dela, segurando no jarro de água amarga que traz consigo maldição. 19 Mandá-la-á jurar que está inocente e dir-lhe-á: ‘Se mais nenhum homem dormiu contigo além do teu marido, ficarás livre dos efeitos desta água amarga que te trará maldição. 20-22 Mas se na verdade cometeste adultério, então o Senhor fará de ti uma maldição entre o teu povo, porque o teu interior se estragará, e o teu corpo inchará.’ A mulher terá de responder: ‘Amém! Assim seja!’
23 O sacerdote escreverá estas maldições num livro e as apagará com aquela água; 24 água essa que, quando a mulher vier a bebê-la, lhe provocará amargos no interior. 25 O sacerdote tomará a oferta de suspeitas das mãos dela e movê-la-á na presença do Senhor, levando-a depois para o altar. 26 Tomará um punhado dessa farinha, fazendo queimar essa porção no altar, e nessa altura então dará a água a beber à mulher. 27 Se esta se tiver manchado, cometendo adultério contra o seu marido, a água lhe fará amargos no interior, ficará com o corpo inchado e estéril; tornar-se-á uma maldição no meio do povo. 28 Se pelo contrário estiver isenta de culpa e não tiver cometido adultério contra o seu esposo, não sofrerá incómodo algum e poderá vir a ter filhos.
29 Esta é pois a lei respeitante a um marido que tenha suspeitas de que a sua mulher se tenha eventualmente conduzido levianamente, para determinar se lhe tem sido ou não infiel. 30 Ele a trará diante do Senhor e o sacerdote fará aquilo que foi descrito acima. 31 O seu marido nunca deverá ser julgado por causa da doença com que tiver sido amaldiçoada, porque só ela é responsável por tal coisa.”

The Purity of the Camp
5 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease[a](A) or a discharge(B) of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean(C) because of a dead body.(D) 3 Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.(E)” 4 The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Restitution for Wrongs
5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful(F) to the Lord is guilty(G) 7 and must confess(H) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution(I) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. 8 But if that person has no close 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(J) with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.(K) 9 All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.(L) 10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.(M)’”
The Test for an Unfaithful Wife
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray(N) and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her,(O) and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy(P) come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c](Q) of barley flour(R) on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy,(S) a reminder-offering(T) to draw attention to wrongdoing.
16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair(U) and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy,(V) while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.(W) 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray(X) and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse(Y) not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray(Z) while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse(AA)—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water(AB) that brings a curse(AC) enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.(AD)”
23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll(AE) and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord(AF) and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering(AG) and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.(AH) 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray(AI) and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy(AJ) come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences(AK) of her sin.’”
