Mga Bilang 5
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang mga Itinuturing na Marumi
5 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 2 “Paalisin mo sa kampo ng Israel ang lahat ng may sakit sa balat na parang ketong, ang mga may tulo at ang lahat ng naging marumi dahil napahawak sila sa patay. 3 Wala kayong itatangi maging lalaki o babae. Lahat ng mga ito ay palalabasin upang hindi maging marumi ang kanilang kampo. Ako'y naninirahang kasama ng aking bayan.” 4 Tulad ng utos ni Yahweh kay Moises, lahat ng may sakit sa balat na parang ketong, may tulo, at naging marumi dahil sa pagkahawak sa patay ay pinalabas nila sa kampo.
Ang Pagbabayad sa Nagawang Masama
5 Sinabi(A) ni Yahweh kay Moises, 6 “Sabihin mo ito sa mga Israelita: Sinumang magtaksil kay Yahweh at makagawa ng masama sa kanyang kapwa ay 7 dapat umamin sa kasalanang kanyang nagawa, pagbabayaran niya ito nang buo maliban pa sa dagdag na ikalimang bahagi nito. Ito'y ibibigay niya sa ginawan niya ng masama o sa pinakamalapit na kamag-anak nito. 8 Kung wala itong malapit na kamag-anak, ang halagang ibabayad ay mapupunta kay Yahweh at ibibigay sa mga pari, bukod sa tupang ibibigay ng nagkasala upang ihandog bilang pantubos sa kanyang kasalanan. 9 Lahat ng natatanging handog ng mga Israelita para kay Yahweh ay mauuwi sa paring tumanggap niyon. 10 Kukunin ng bawat pari ang handog na ibinigay sa kanya.”
Ang Tuntunin tungkol sa Pagtataksil at Pagseselos
11 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 12 “Ito ang sabihin mo sa mga Israelita: Kung ang isang babae'y nagtaksil sa asawa, 13 nakipagtalik sa ibang lalaki ngunit walang katibayang maipakita laban sa kanya sapagkat hindi siya nahuli sa akto, 14 o kaya nama'y ang asawang lalaki'y naghihinala sa kanyang asawa kahit wala itong ginagawang masama, 15 ang babae ay dadalhin ng lalaki sa pari. Ang lalaki'y maghahandog ng kalahating salop ng harinang sebada. Ang handog na ito'y hindi bubuhusan ng langis ni sasamahan ng insenso sapagkat ito'y handog tungkol sa pagseselos, handog upang hilinging lumabas ang katotohanan.
16 “Ang babae ay dadalhin ng pari sa harap ng altar. 17 Ang pari ay maglalagay ng sagradong tubig sa isang tapayan at hahaluan ng kaunting alikabok mula sa sahig ng tabernakulo. 18 Pagkatapos, ilulugay ang buhok ng babae at pahahawakan sa kanya ang handog na harina. Samantala, ang mangkok na naglalaman ng mapait na tubig na magpapalitaw sa katotohanan ay hawak naman ng pari. 19 Ang babae'y panunumpain ng pari. Sasabihin niya, ‘Kung hindi ka nagtaksil sa iyong asawa, hindi tatalab sa iyo ang sumpang taglay ng tubig na ito. 20 Ngunit kung nagtaksil ka sa iyong asawa, 21 paparusahan ka ni Yahweh upang maging halimbawa sa iyong mga kababayan: Patutuyuin ni Yahweh ang iyong bahay-bata at pamamagain ang iyong tiyan. 22 Tumagos nawa ang tubig na ito sa kaloob-looban ng iyong tiyan, pamagain ito at patuyuin ang iyong bahay-bata.’
“Ang babae'y sasagot ng ‘Amen. Ako'y sumasang-ayon.’
23 “Ang mga sumpang ito ay isusulat ng pari sa isang sulatan, huhugasan ito sa mapait na tubig, 24 at ipapainom sa babae ang pinaghugasan. Ito'y magdudulot ng matinding sakit sa babae. 25 Pagkatapos, ang handog na harinang hawak pa ng babae ay kukunin ng pari, iaalay kay Yahweh at ilalagay sa altar. 26 Ang pari ay kukuha ng isang dakot na harina mula sa handog at susunugin ito sa altar. Pagkatapos, ipapainom sa babae ang mapait na tubig. 27 Kung nagtaksil nga siya sa kanyang asawa, makakaramdam siya ng matinding sakit, matutuyo ang kanyang balakang at mamamaga ang kanyang tiyan. Sa ganitong paraan, hindi siya pamamarisan ng kanyang mga kababayan. 28 Ngunit kung hindi siya nagtaksil, hindi tatalab sa kanya ang sumpa at maaari pa siyang magkaanak.
29 “Ito ang tuntunin tungkol sa babaing nagtaksil sa asawa, 30 o kaya, kung naghihinala ang lalaki sa katapatan ng kanyang asawa: ang babae'y ihaharap sa altar, at isasagawa naman ng pari ang lahat ng dapat gawin ayon sa Kautusan. 31 Ang asawang lalaki ay hindi madadamay sa kasalanan ng babae, kundi ang babae lamang, kung talagang nagkasala, ang magdurusa sa ginawa niyang masama.”
Numbers 5
New King James Version
Ceremonially Unclean Persons Isolated(A)
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every (B)leper, everyone who has a (C)discharge, and whoever becomes (D)defiled [a]by a corpse. 3 You shall put out both male and female; you shall put them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camps (E)in the midst of which I dwell.” 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Confession and Restitution(F)
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the children of Israel: (G)‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 (H)then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass (I)in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. 8 But if the man has no [b]relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to (J)the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. 9 Every (K)offering[c] of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be (L)his. 10 And every man’s [d]holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be (M)his.’ ”
Concerning Unfaithful Wives
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him, 13 and a man (N)lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she (O)caught— 14 if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes (P)jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself— 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall (Q)bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for (R)bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord. 17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 Then the priest shall stand the woman before the (S)Lord, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse. 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”— 21 then the priest shall (T)put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman—(U)“the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh [e]rot and your belly swell; 22 and may this water that causes the curse (V)go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.”
‘(W)Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”
23 ‘Then the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall scrape them off into the bitter water. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter. 25 (X)Then the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, shall (Y)wave the offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar; 26 and the priest shall take a handful of the offering, (Z)as its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband, that the water that brings a (AA)curse will enter her and become bitter, and her belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman (AB)will become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children.
29 ‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, while under her husband’s authority, (AC)goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of his wife; then he shall stand the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute all this law upon her. 31 Then the man shall be free from [f]iniquity, but that woman (AD)shall bear her [g]guilt.’ ”
