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.’ ”

Om lägrets renhet
5 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 2 (A) ”Befall Israels barn att de för bort ur lägret var och en som är spetälsk eller har flytning[a] och var och en som blivit oren genom en död kropp[b]. 3 (B) En sådan, vare sig man eller kvinna, ska ni föra bort utanför lägret. För bort dem, så att de inte orenar deras läger där jag bor mitt ibland dem.”
4 Och Israels barn gjorde så, de förde dem utanför lägret. Så som Herren hade sagt till Mose, så gjorde Israels barn.
Ersättningsplikt
5 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 6 (C) ”Säg till Israels barn: När en man eller kvinna begår någon av de synder som människor kan begå och handlar trolöst mot Herren och drar på sig skuld, 7 ska han bekänna den synd han har begått och ersätta det orätta till dess fulla belopp och till det lägga en femtedel av värdet. Detta ska han ge till den som han har gjort orätt emot.
8 Men om den drabbade inte har någon nära släkting som kan ta emot gottgörelsen, ska ersättningen ges åt Herren och tillhöra prästen, utöver den försoningsbagge[c] med vilken försoning bringas för den skyldige. 9 (D) Och alla heliga gåvor som Israels barn bär fram till prästen ska tillhöra honom. 10 De heliga gåvor som var och en ger tillhör honom. Vad någon ger åt prästen tillhör honom.”
Om otrohet och svartsjuka
11 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 12 ”Säg till Israels barn: Det kan hända att en mans hustru kommer på avvägar och är otrogen mot sin man, 13 genom att någon annan ligger med henne och har sädesuttömning. Hennes man har inte sett något, och hon håller det hemligt att hon blivit orenad. Det finns inget vittne mot henne, och hon har inte blivit tagen på bar gärning. 14 Om han då drabbas av svartsjukans ande och misstänker att hans hustru blivit orenad, eller om han drabbas av svartsjukans ande och misstänker sin hustru fastän hon inte blivit orenad, 15 (E) då ska mannen föra sin hustru till prästen och bära fram en tiondels efa kornmjöl[d] som offer för henne. Men han ska inte hälla någon olja eller lägga någon rökelse på offret, för det är ett misstankeoffer, ett påminnelseoffer som ska påminna om en missgärning.
16 Och prästen ska föra fram henne och ställa henne inför Herrens ansikte. 17 Han ska ta heligt vatten i ett lerkärl och ta lite av stoftet från tabernaklets golv och lägga i vattnet. 18 Prästen ska ställa fram kvinnan inför Herrens ansikte och lösa upp hennes hår och lägga påminnelseoffret i hennes händer, det vill säga misstankeoffret. I sin hand ska prästen ha det bittra vattnet som för med sig förbannelse.
19 Därefter ska prästen ta ed av kvinnan och säga till henne: Om ingen har legat med dig och du inte har kommit på avvägar och orenat dig medan du var under din man, så ska du inte ta skada av det bittra förbannelsebringande vattnet. 20 Men om du har kommit på avvägar medan du var under din man, och orenat dig genom att någon annan än din man har legat med dig” 21 – prästen ska nu läsa upp förbannelseeden för kvinnan och säga till henne: – ”så ska Herren göra dig till en förbannelse och en ed bland ditt folk. Herren ska låta ditt moderliv skrumpna och din buk svälla upp, 22 och det förbannelsebringande vattnet ska gå in i dina inälvor och få din buk att svälla upp och ditt moderliv att skrumpna.” Och kvinnan ska säga: ”Amen, amen.”
23 Sedan ska prästen skriva upp dessa förbannelser i en bokrulle och tvätta av dem i det bittra vattnet. 24 Och han ska ge kvinnan att dricka av det bittra förbannelsebringande vattnet, och det förbannelsebringande vattnet ska gå in i henne och orsaka bitter smärta. 25 Prästen ska ta misstankeoffret ur kvinnans hand och lyfta det inför Herrens ansikte och bära fram det till altaret. 26 Och prästen ska ta en handfull av offret som ett påminnelseoffer och bränna det på altaret. Därefter ska han ge kvinnan vattnet att dricka.
27 När han har gett henne vattnet att dricka, ska detta ske: Om hon har låtit orena sig och varit otrogen mot sin man, ska det förbannelsebringande vattnet gå in i henne och orsaka bitter smärta. Hennes buk ska svälla upp och hennes moderliv skrumpna, och kvinnan ska bli en förbannelse bland sitt folk. 28 Men om kvinnan inte har låtit orena sig utan är ren, ska inget skada henne och hon ska kunna bli havande.
29 Detta är lagen om svartsjuka, när en gift kvinna kommer på avvägar och orenar sig 30 eller när svartsjukans ande drabbar en man så att han misstänker sin hustru. Han ska då ställa fram hustrun inför Herrens ansikte, och prästen ska göra med henne allt som denna lag påbjuder. 31 Så ska mannen vara fri från skuld och hustrun får själv ta konsekvenserna av sin missgärning.”

New International Version
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.’”

5 Drottinn talaði við Móse og sagði:
2 "Bjóð þú Ísraelsmönnum að láta burt fara úr herbúðunum alla menn líkþráa og alla, er rennsli hafa, svo og alla þá, er saurgaðir eru af líki.
3 Skuluð þér láta burt fara bæði karla og konur, þér skuluð láta þá fara út fyrir herbúðirnar, svo að þeir saurgi ekki herbúðir sínar, með því að ég bý á meðal þeirra."
4 Og Ísraelsmenn gjörðu svo og létu þá fara út fyrir herbúðirnar. Eins og Drottinn hafði boðið Móse, svo gjörðu Ísraelsmenn.
5 Drottinn talaði við Móse og sagði: "Tala þú til Ísraelsmanna:
6 Þá er karl eða kona drýgir einhverja þá synd, er menn hendir, með því að sýna sviksemi gegn Drottni, og sá hinn sami verður sekur,
7 þá skulu þau játa synd sína, er þau hafa drýgt, og bæta skulu þau sekt sína fullu verði og gjalda fimmtungi meira og greiða það þeim, er þau hafa orðið sek við.
8 En eigi maðurinn engan nákominn ættingja, er sektin verði greidd, þá skal sektin, er greiða skal, heyra Drottni og falla undir prest, auk friðþægingarhrútsins, sem friðþægt er með fyrir þau.
9 Sérhver fórnargjöf af öllum helgigjöfum Ísraelsmanna, sem þeir færa prestinum, skal vera hans eign,
10 og það sem sérhver helgar, skal vera hans eign. Það sem einhver gefur prestinum, skal vera hans eign."
11 Drottinn talaði við Móse og sagði:
12 "Tala þú til Ísraelsmanna og seg við þá: Nú gjörist kona marglát og reynist ótrú manni sínum.
13 Annar maður hefir samræði við hana, en maður hennar veit eigi af. Hún verður eigi uppvís að og hefir þó saurgað sig, og engin vitni eru mót henni og hún er eigi að því staðin.
14 En yfir manninn kemur afbrýðisandi, svo að hann verður hræddur um konu sína, og hún hefir saurgað sig. Eða afbrýðisandi kemur yfir mann, og hann verður hræddur um konu sína, þótt hún hafi eigi saurgað sig.
15 Þá fari maðurinn með konu sína til prestsins og færi honum fórnargjöfina fyrir hana: tíunda part úr efu af byggmjöli. Eigi skal hann hella yfir það olíu né leggja reykelsiskvoðu ofan á það, því að það er afbrýðismatfórn, minningarmatfórn, sem minnir á misgjörð.
16 Presturinn skal taka konuna og leiða hana fram fyrir Drottin.
17 Og prestur skal taka heilagt vatn í leirker, og prestur skal taka mold af gólfi búðarinnar og láta í vatnið.
18 Og prestur skal leiða konuna fram fyrir Drottin og leysa hár konunnar og fá henni í hendur minningarmatfórnina _ það er afbrýðismatfórn. En á beiskjuvatninu, er bölvan veldur, skal presturinn halda.
19 Prestur skal særa hana og segja við konuna: ,Hafi enginn maður hjá þér legið og hafir þú eigi saurgað þig með lauslæti í hjúskap þínum, þá verði þetta beiskjuvatn, sem bölvan veldur, þér ósaknæmt.
20 En hafir þú verið lauslát í hjúskapnum og hafir þú saurgast og einhver annar en maður þinn hefir haft samræði við þig,`
21 þá skal prestur láta konuna vinna bölvunarsæri, og prestur skal segja við konuna: ,Drottinn gjöri þig að bölvan og að særi meðal fólks þíns, er Drottinn lætur lendar þínar hjaðna og kvið þinn þrútna.
22 Og vatn þetta, er bölvan veldur, skal fara í innýfli þín, svo að kviðurinn þrútni og lendarnar hjaðni.` Og konan skal segja: ,Amen, amen!`
23 Síðan skal prestur rita formælingu þessa í bók og strjúka hana út í beiskjuvatnið,
24 og hann skal láta konuna drekka beiskjuvatnið, er bölvan veldur, svo að vatnið, sem bölvan veldur, fari ofan í hana og verði að beiskju.
25 Og presturinn skal taka við afbrýðismatfórninni úr hendi konunnar, og hann skal veifa matfórninni frammi fyrir Drottni og bera hana á altarið.
26 Og presturinn skal taka hnefafylli af matfórninni sem ilmhluta hennar og brenna á altarinu. Síðan skal hann láta konuna drekka vatnið.
27 Og þegar hann hefir látið hana drekka vatnið, þá skal svo fara, að hafi hún saurgað sig og verið manni sínum ótrú, þá skal vatnið, er bölvan veldur, fara ofan í hana og verða að beiskju, og kviður hennar þrútna og lendar hennar hjaðna, og konan skal verða að bölvan meðal fólks síns.
28 En hafi konan ekki saurgað sig og sé hún hrein, þá skal það ekki saka hana, og hún mun geta fengið getnað."
29 Þetta eru lögin um afbrýðisemi, þegar gift kona gjörist marglát og saurgar sig
30 eða þegar afbrýðisandi kemur yfir mann og hann verður hræddur um konu sína, þá skal hann leiða konuna fram fyrir Drottin, og prestur skal með hana fara í alla staði eftir lögum þessum.
31 Maðurinn skal vera sýkn saka, en konan skal bera sekt sína.
