1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 « عَلِّمْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ بِأنْ يَنفُوا مِنَ المُخَيَّمِ كُلَّ مُصابٍ بِالبَرَصِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَسِيلُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ سائِلٌ نَجِسٌ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَتَنَجَّسُ بِسَبَبِ لَمسِهِ لِمَيِّتٍ.

“Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead.

3 ا نْفُوا الذُّكُورَ وَالإناثَ، وَاطْرُدُوهُمْ خارِجاً، حَتَّى لا يُنَجِّسُوا المُخَيَّمَ حَيثُ أسكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.»

Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that they not defile their camp, in the middle of which I dwell.”

4 ف َفَعَلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ هَذا وَنَفُوا المُتَنَجِّسِينَ خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ. فَعَلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ تَماماً كَما قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. التَّعوِيض

The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

5 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

6 « قُلْ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ: إنْ أخطَأ رَجُلٌ أوِ امْرأةٌ بِحَقِّ شَخصٍ آخَرَ بِالسَّرِقَةِ مِنهُ، فَإنَّهُ يَكُونُ قَدْ أخطَأ إلَى اللهِ خَطِيَّةً عَظِيمَةً. إنَّهُ مُذنِبٌ.

“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 ع َلَيهِ أنْ يَعتَرِفَ بِما سَرَقَهُ وَيُعَوِّضَ بِشَكلٍ كامِلٍ، وَيُضِيفَ إلَى التَّعوِيضِ خُمسَ قِيمَةِ المَسرُوقِ وَيُعطِيَهِ لِلَّذِي أخطَأ إلَيهِ.

then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.

8 و َإنْ كانَ الرَّجُلُ مَيِّتاً، وَلا أقرِباءَ لَهُ لِيَأخُذُوا التَّعوِيضَ. فَإنَّ التَّعوِيضَ يَذهَبُ إلَى اللهِ فَيُعْطَى لِلكاهِنِ. عَدا الكَبْشِ الَّذِي يُحْضِرُهُ المُذنِبُ. فَهَذا يَذْبَحُهُ الكَاهِنُ كَفّارَةً.

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; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.

9 « كُلُّ تَقدِمَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ يُقَدِّمُها بَنو إسْرائِيلَ لِلكاهِنِ فَإنَّها تَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ.

Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.

10 و َتَكُونُ التَّقْدِماتُ المُقَدَّسَةُ مُلْكاً لِمَنْ يُقَدِّمُها، عَدا ما يُعْطيهِ لِلكاهِنِ، فَإنَّهُ يَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ الكاهِنِ.» شَكُّ بالخِيانَة الزّوجية

Every man’s holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”

11 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 « قُلْ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ: إنِ انْحَرَفَتْ زَوجَةُ رَجُلٍ ما وَخانَتهُ

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,

13 ب ِمُعاشَرَةِ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، وَزَوجُها لا يَعرِفُ، إذْ أنَّها تَعمَلُ هَذا سِرّاً. مَعَ أنَّها قَدْ نَجَّسَتْ نَفسَها، حَيْثُ إنَّهُ لا يُوجَدُ هُناكَ شاهِدٌ، كَما أنَّها لَمْ تُمسَكْ وَهِيَ تَرتَكِبُ الزِّنَى.

and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;

14 ف َإذا اعتَرَى رُوحُ الغِيرَةِ الرَّجُلَ فَشَكَّ بِزَوجَتِه الَّتِي قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِالفِعلِ، أوْ إذا اعتَرَاهُ رُوحُ الغِيرَةِ مَعَ أنَّها لَمْ تُنَجِّسْ نَفسَها،

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 ف َليُحْضِرِ الرَّجُلُ زَوجَتَهُ إلَى الكاهِنِ، وَيُحضِرْ مَعَهُ تَقْدِمَتَها المَطلُوبَةَ: عُشْرَ قُفَّةٍ مِنْ طَحِينِ الشَّعِيرِ. لا يُسْكَبُ عَلَى الطَّحِينِ زَيتٌ، وَلا يُوضَعُ بَخُورٌ فَوقَهُ. لأنَّ هَذِهِ تَقدِمَةُ شَكٍّ، لِبَيانِ الاتِّهامِ وَالتَّذكِيرِ بِهِ.

then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah 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 « وَيُحضِرُ الكاهِنُ المَرأةَ إلَى الأمامِ وَيُوقِفُها فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;

17 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ ماءً مُقَدَّساً فِي إناءٍ خَزَفِيٍّ، وَيَأخُذُ مِنَ الغُبارِ الَّذِي عَلَى أرْضِيَّةِ المَسْكَنِ المُقَدَّسِ وَيَضَعُهُ فِي الماءِ.

and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.

18 ث ُمَّ يُوقِفُ الكاهِنُ المَرْأةَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَيَكْشِفُ رَأْسَها، وَيَضَعُ فِي كَفَّيْها التَّقْدِمَةَ، الّتِي هِيَ تَقدِمَةُ شَكٍّ. وَيُمسِكُ الكاهِنُ بِإناءِ الماءِ المُرِّ الَّذِي يَأتِي بِاللَّعنَةِ.

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 و َيَجعَلُ الكاهِنُ المَرأةَ تُقسِمُ فَيَقُولُ لَها: ‹إنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ عَلاقَةٌ بِكِ، وَلَمْ تَفسُدِي وَلَمْ تَتَنَجَّسِي وَأنتِ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِزَوجِكِ، فَإنَّكِ تُطَهَّرِينَ مِنْ هَذا الماءِ المُرِّ الَّذِي يَأتِي بِاللَّعنَةِ.

The priest shall cause her to swear, 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, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.

20 ل َكِنْ إنْ فَسَدْتِ وَأنتِ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِزَوجِكِ، وَتَنَجَّسْتِ، وَكانَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ غَيرُ زَوجِكِ عَلاقَةٌ بِكِ …›

But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:”

21 « وَهَكَذا يَجعَلُ الكاهِنُ المَرأةَ تُقسِمُ بِقَسَمِ اللَّعنَةِ هَذا، وَيَقُولُ الكاهِنُ لِلمَرأةِ: ‹فَلْيَلعَنْكِ اللهُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ النّاسُ يَستَخدِمُونَ اسْمَكِ كَلَعْنةٍ، وَلْيَجعَلِ اللهُ فَخْذَكِ مُتَرَهِّلَةً وَبَطْنَكِ مُتَوَرِّمةً.

then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “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 ف َلْيَأْتِ ماءُ اللَّعنَةِ هَذا بِاللَّعنَةِ إلَى بَطنِكِ، فَيَجعَلُ بَطنَكِ مُتَوَرِّماً وَفَخْذَكِ مُتَرَهِّلَةً.› فَتَقُولُ المَرأةُ: ‹لِيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ!›

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 « ثُمَّ يَكتُبُ الكاهِنُ هَذِهِ اللَّعناتِ عَلَى قِطْعَةِ جِلْدٍ ثُمَّ يَمحُوها فِي الماءِ المُرِّ.

“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.

24 ث ُمَّ يَجعَلُ الكاهِنُ المَرأةَ تَشرَبُ الماءَ المُرَّ الَّذِي يَأتِي بِاللَّعنَةِ، وَالَّذِي يُسَبِّبُ ألَماً شَدِيداً.

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 « وَيَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ مِنْ يَدِ المَرأةِ تَقدِمَةَ الحُبُوبِ الَّتِي قَدَّمَها الزَّوجُ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ بِزَوْجَتِهِ، وَيرفَعُها فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، ثُمَّ يَأتِي بِها إلَى المَذبَحِ.

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 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ مِلءَ كَفِّهِ مِنْ تَقدِمَةِ الحُبُوبِ كَعَلامَةٍ، وَيُحرِقُهُ عَلَى المَذبَحِ. وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ يَجعَلُ الكاهِنُ المَرأةَ تَشرَبُ الماءَ.

The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.

27 و َبَعدَ أنْ يَجعَلَها تَشرَبُ الماءَ، فَإنْ كانَتْ نَجِسَةً وَغَيرَ وَفِيَّةٍ لِزَوجِها، فَإنَّ الماءَ الَّذِي يَأتِي بِاللَّعنَةِ سَيَدخُلُ جَوفَها وَيُسَبِّبُ لَها ألَماً شَدِيداً، فَتَتَوَرَّمُ بَطْنُها وَتَتَرَهَّلُ فَخْذُها، وَتُصبِحُ لَعنَةً وَسَطَ شَعبِها.

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 و َلَكِنْ إنْ لَمْ تَكُنِ المَرأةُ قَدْ نَجَّسَتْ نَفسَها، لَكِنَّها طاهِرَةٌ، فَإنَّهُ سَيَحكُمُ بِبَراءَتِها، وَسَتَكُونُ قادِرَةً عَلَى الإنجابِ.

If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.

29 « هَذا هُوَ القانُونُ المُختَصُّ بِحالاتِ الشَّكِّ. حِينَ تَنحَرِفُ المَرأةُ بَينَما هِيَ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِزَوجِها، وَتُنَجِّسُ نَفسَها،

“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled;

30 أ وْ حِينَ يَعتَرِي الرَّجُلَ رُوحُ غِيرَةٍ وَيَشُكُّ بِزَوْجَتِهِ، فَإنَّهُ يُوقِفُها فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ. فَيَعمَلُ الكاهِنُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ لَها.

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 ح ِينَئِذٍ، لا يَكُونُ الزَّوجُ مُذْنِباً، وَأمّا المَرأةُ فَتَحمِلُ عِقابَ خَطِيَّتِها.»

The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
