1 T hen the Lord said to Moses,

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

2 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘When a woman gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days as during her time each month.

«قُلْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: «إنْ حَبِلَتِ امْرأةٌ وَوَلَدَتْ طِفلاً ذَكَراً فَإنَّها تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ. تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً كَما لَوْ أنَّها فِي فَترَةِ الحَيضِ.

3 O n the eighth day the child is to go through the religious act of becoming a Jew.

وَفِي اليَومِ الثّامِنِ، يُختَنُ الطِّفلُ.

4 T he mother will be unclean for thirty-three days, until her blood stops flowing. She will not touch any holy thing or go into the holy place, until the days for making her clean are finished.

وَتَنتَظِرُ الأُمُّ ثَلاثَةً وَثَلاثِينَ يَوماً حَتَّى يَتَوَقَّفَ نَزفُ دَمِها. فِي هَذِهِ الفَترَةِ، لا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَلمِسَ أيَّ شَيءٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، أوْ أنْ تَدخُلَ المَكانَ المُقَدَّسَ، إلَى أنْ تَنتَهِيَ فَترَةُ تَطهِيرِها.

5 I f she gives birth to a female child, she will be unclean for two weeks, as during the time she is unclean each month. She will be unclean for sixty-six days, until her blood stops flowing.

فَإنْ وَلَدَتْ أُنثَىً، فَإنَّها تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لِأربَعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوماً كَما لَوْ أنَّها فِي فَترَةِ الحَيضِ. فَلْتَنْتَظِرْ سِتَّةً وَسِتِّينَ يَوماً حَتَّى يَتَوَقَّفَ نَزْفُ دَمِها.

6 ‘ When the days for making her clean are finished, for a son or for a daughter, she will bring her gifts to the religious leader at the door of the meeting tent. She will bring a one year old lamb for a burnt gift, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin gift.

«وَحِينَ تَكتَمِلُ فَترَةُ تَطهِيرِها – سَواءٌ أأنجَبَتْ وَلَداً أمْ بِنتاً – يَنبَغِي أنْ تُحضِرَ خَرُوفاً عُمْرُهُ سَنَةٌ واحِدَةٌ ذَبيحَةً صاعِدَةً، وَيَمامَةً أوْ حَمامَةً صَغِيرَةً ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ. ثُمَّ تأتِي بِهِما إلَى مَدخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، إلَى الكاهِنِ.

7 T hen he will give it to the Lord and pay for her sins. She will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the Law for her who gives birth to a son or daughter.

فَيُقَدِّمُهُما الكاهِنُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَيَعمَلُ لَها كَفّارَةً، فَتَصِيرَ طاهِرَةً مِنْ نَزْفِ دَمِها. هَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ المَرأةِ الَّتِي تَلِدُ ذَكَراً أوْ أُنثَىً.

8 B ut if she does not have enough money for a lamb, then she will take two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt gift and the other for a sin gift. The religious leader will pay for her sins and she will be clean.’”

فَإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قادِرَةً عَلَى تَقدِيمِ حَمَلٍ، فَلْتُقَدِّمْ يَمامَتينِ أوْ حَمامَتينِ صَغيرَتَينِ. واحِدَةً لِلذَّبيحَةِ الصّاعِدَةِ، وَالأُخرَى لِذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ. وَيَعمَلُ لَها الكاهِنُ كَفّارَةً، فَتَصِيرَ طاهِرَةً تَماماً.»
