Vayikra 12:2-8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If an isha have conceived, and born a zachar, then she shall be temeiah shivat yamim; according to the yamim of the niddah (menstruation separation) for her infirmity shall she be temeiah (unclean).
3 And in the yom hashemini the basar of his arel (uncircumcision, foreskin) shall be circumcised.
4 And shloshim yom ushloshet she shall then remain in demei tohorah (blood of her purifying, i.e., period in which she would be unclean); she shall touch no kodesh, nor enter the Mikdash, until the yamei of her tohorah be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a nekevah, then she shall be temeiah two weeks, as in her niddah (separation); and she shall remain in the blood of her tohorah sixty-six days.
6 And when the yemei tohorah are fulfilled, for a ben, or for a bat, she shall bring a keves of the first year for an olah, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a chattat (sin offering), unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed unto the kohen;
7 Who shall offer it before Hashem, and make kapporah for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her dahm. This is the torah for her that hath born a zachar or a nekevah.
8 And if she be not able to afford to bring a seh, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for an olah, and the other for a chattat; and the kohen shall make kapporah for her, and she shall be teherah (clean) [See Lk 2:24 regarding this chapter and on how Moshiach was first brought to the Beis Hamikdash].

Leviticus 12:2-8
King James Version
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
7 Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

Levítico 12:2-8
Nueva Biblia Viva
2 «Cuando nazca un niño, la madre quedará ritualmente impura por siete días, y quedará sujeta a las mismas restricciones a que se somete durante su menstruación. 3 Al octavo día circuncidará a su hijo. 4 Luego, durante los treinta y tres días siguientes, mientras se recupera de su impureza ritual, no debe tocar ninguna cosa sagrada, ni debe entrar en el santuario.
5 »Cuando nazca una niña, la impureza ceremonial de la madre durará dos semanas, lapso en que quedará sujeta a las mismas restricciones del período menstrual. Su recuperación durará sesenta y seis días.
6 »Cuando hayan pasado los días de su purificación, y esto se aplica tanto si su bebé es niño o niña, deberá presentar un cordero de un año como holocausto, y un pichón de paloma o una tórtola como ofrenda por su pecado. Debe llevarlos a la puerta del santuario y entregarlos al sacerdote. 7 El sacerdote, entonces, los ofrecerá delante del Señor, y pedirá perdón por los pecados de ella. Después de esto, la mujer será declarada ritualmente pura de su flujo de sangre. Este es el procedimiento que debe seguir después del parto.
8 »Pero si ella es muy pobre y no puede ofrecer un cordero, deberá llevar dos pichones de paloma o dos tórtolas. Uno será para el holocausto y el otro para la ofrenda por su pecado. El sacerdote, entonces, pedirá perdón por los pecados de ella, y la mujer quedará purificada».

Leviticus 12:2-8
New International Version
2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.(A) 3 On the eighth day(B) the boy is to be circumcised.(C) 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.
6 “‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over,(D) she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb(E) for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.[a](F) 7 He shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood.
“‘These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. 8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons,(G) one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering.(H) In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.(I)’”
