Numrat 5
Albanian Bible
5 Pastaj Zoti i foli Moisiut, duke i thënë:
2 "Urdhëro bijtë e Izraelit të nxjerrin jashtë kampit çdo lebroz, këdo që ka një fluks ose është i papastër nga kontakti që ka pasur me një trup të vdekur.
3 Dëboni jashtë kampit qoftë meshkujt, qoftë femrat; do t’i dëboni jashtë kampit për të mos ndotur kampin në mes të të cilit unë banoj".
4 Dhe bijtë e Izraelit vepruan ashtu dhe i nxorën jashtë kampit. Ashtu si i kishte folur Zoti Moisiut, kështu vepruan bijtë e Izraelit.
5 Zoti i foli akoma Moisiut, duke i thënë:
6 "Thuaju bijve të Izraelit: Kur një burrë apo një grua bën çfarëdo lloj fyerje kundër një njeriu, duke vepruar kështu kryen një mëkat kundër Zotit, dhe ky person bëhet fajtor;
7 ai do ta njohë fyerjen që ka bërë dhe do të shpërblejë plotësisht dëmin e bërë, duke i shtuar një të pestën dhe duke ia dhënë personit që ka fyer.
8 Por në rast se ky nuk ka ndonjë të afërm person të një gjaku të cilit mund t’i bëhet shpërblimi për fyerjen e kryer, shpërblimi do t’i shkojë Zotit për priftin, veç dashit fajshlyes, me të cilin do të bëhet shlyerja për të.
9 Çdo ofertë e ngritur e çfarëdo gjëje të shenjtëruar që bijtë e Izraelit i paraqesin priftit, do t’i përkasë këtij.
10 Sendet që dikush shenjtëron do të jenë të priftit; atë që dikush i jep priftit, do t’i përkasë këtij".
11 Zoti i foli akoma Moisiut, duke i thënë:
12 "Folu bijve të Izraelit dhe u thuaj atyre: Në qoftë se një grua i dredhon burrit të saj dhe kryen një pabesi kundrejt tij,
13 dhe një burrë ka marrëdhënie seksuale me të, por kjo gjë është bërë fshehurazi nga burri i saj; kur fëlliqësia e saj mbetet e fshehtë, sepse nuk ka asnjë dëshmitar kundër saj dhe nuk është kapur në flagrancë,
14 në qoftë se një ndjenjë zilie e zë dhe bëhet xheloz për gruan e tij që është fëlliqur; ose në qoftë se një ndjenjë zilie e zë dhe ai bëhet xheloz për gruan e tij edhe sikur ajo të mos jetë fëlliqur,
15 burri do ta çojë gruan e tij te prifti dhe do t’i japë atij një ofertë për atë: një të dhjetën e një efe miell elbi; nuk do t’i derdhë sipër vaj ulliri as do t’i vërë sipër temjan, sepse është një blatim ushqimor për xhelozi, një blatim përkujtimor, i caktuar për të kujtuar një faj.
16 Prifti do ta afrojë gruan dhe do ta mbajë më këmbë përpara Zotit.
17 Pastaj prifti do të marrë ujë të shenjtë nga një enë prej dheu; do të marrë gjithashtu ca pluhur që ndodhet mbi dyshemenë e tabernakullit dhe do ta hedhë në ujë.
18 pastaj prifti do ta mbajë në këmbë gruan para Zotit, do t’i zbulojë kokën dhe do të vërë në duart e saja blatimin përkujtimor, që është blatimi ushqimor për xhelozinë, ndërsa prifti do të mbajë në dorë ujin e hidhur që sjell mallkimin.
19 Pastaj prifti do ta vërë gruan të betohet dhe do t’i thotë: "Në qoftë se asnjë burrë s’ka rënë në shtrat me ty dhe nuk je larguar nga rruga e drejtë për t’u fëlliqur, ndërsa ishe e martuar me burrin tënd, je e përjashtuar nga çdo efekt i dëmshëm i këtij uji të hidhur që sjell mallkimin.
20 Por në se ti je shthurur, ndërsa ishe e martuar me burrin tënd, dhe je fëlliqur me një burrë që nuk është bashkëshorti yt ka pasur marrëdhënie seksuale me ty,"
21 atëherë prifti do ta vërë gruan të betohet me një betim mallkimi dhe do t’i thotë: "Zoti të bëftë objekt mallkimi dhe nëme midis popullit tënd, kur do të bëjë të të dobësohen ijet dhe të fryhet barku yt;
22 dhe ky ujë që sjell mallkimin hyftë në zorrët e tua, të bëftë të fryhet barku yt dhe dobësoftë ijet e tua!". Dhe gruaja do të thotë: "Amen! Amen!".
23 Pastaj prifti do t’i shkruajë këto mallkime mbi një rrotull dhe do t’i zhdukë në ujin e hidhur.
24 Pas kësaj do t’i japë gruas për të pirë ujë të hidhur që sjell mallkimin dhe ky ujë që sjell mallkimin do të hyjë në të për të prodhuar hidhërim;
25 pastaj prifti do të marrë nga duart e gruas blatimin e ushqimit për xhelozinë, do ta tundë blatimin para Zotit dhe do t’ia ofrojë në altar;
26 prifti do të marrë nga duart e gruas një grusht të blatimit ushqimor si kujtim dhe do ta tymosë mbi altar; pastaj do t’i japë gruas ujë për të pirë.
27 Mbas pirjes së ujit, do të ndodhë që, në se ajo është fëlliqur dhe ka kryer një pabesi ndaj burrit të saj, uji që sjell mallkimin do të hyjë në trupin e saj për të prodhuar hidhërim; barku i saj do të fryhet, ijët e saj do të dobësohen dhe ajo grua do të bëhet një mallkim në mes të popullit të saj.
28 Por në qoftë se gruaja nuk është fëlliqur dhe është e pastër, ajo do të njihet si e pafajshme dhe do të ketë fëmijë.
29 Ky është ligji për xhelozinë, në rastin kur gruaja, duke qenë e martuar me një burrë, merr rrugë të keqe dhe fëlliqet,
30 ose në rastin kur ndjenja e xhelozisë e zë një burrë dhe ky bëhet xheloz për gruan e tij; ai do ta paraqesë gruan e tij para Zotit dhe prifti do të zbatojë me të plotësisht këtë ligj.
31 Bashkëshorti nuk do të ketë asnjë faj, por e shoqja do të marrë dënimin e paudhësisë së saj".
Numbers 5
King James Version
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
Numbers 5
English Standard Version
Unclean People
5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the people of Israel that they (A)put out of the camp everyone who is leprous[a] or has (B)a discharge and everyone who is (C)unclean through contact with the dead. 3 You shall put out both male and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, (D)in the midst of which I dwell.” 4 And the people of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the people of Israel did.
Confession and Restitution
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the people of Israel, (E)When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person realizes his guilt, 7 (F)he shall confess his sin that he has committed.[b] (G)And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong. 8 But if the man has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to (H)the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him. 9 And (I)every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10 Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his.”
A Test for Adultery
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him, 13 if a man (J)lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, (K)since she was not taken in the act, 14 and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself, 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah[c] of barley flour. (L)He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, (M)bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 “And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the Lord. 17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord and (N)unbind the hair of the woman's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse. 19 Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, ‘If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse. 20 But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you, 21 then’ (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) (O)‘the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your body swell. 22 May this water that brings the curse (P)pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.’ And the woman shall say, (Q)‘Amen, Amen.’
23 “Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain. 25 And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand (R)and shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 And the priest (S)shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman (T)shall become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.
29 “This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, (U)though under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife. Then he shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall carry out for her all this law. 31 The man shall be free from iniquity, but the woman (V)shall bear her iniquity.”
