1 J ehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 M anda a los hijos de Israel que echen del campamento a todo leproso, y a todos los que padecen flujo de semen, y a todo contaminado con muerto.

“Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp every leper and everyone having a discharge and everyone who is unclean because of a dead person.

3 A sí a hombres como a mujeres echaréis; fuera del campamento los echaréis, para que no contaminen el campamento de aquellos entre los cuales yo habito.

You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst.”

4 Y lo hicieron así los hijos de Israel, y los echaron fuera del campamento; como Jehová dijo a Moisés, así lo hicieron los hijos de Israel. Ley sobre la restitución

The sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the Lord had spoken to Moses, thus the sons of Israel did.

5 A demás habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6 D i a los hijos de Israel: El hombre o la mujer que cometiere alguno de todos los pecados con que los hombres prevarican contra Jehová y delinquen,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, ‘ When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty,

7 a quella persona confesará el pecado que cometió, y compensará enteramente el daño, y añadirá sobre ello la quinta parte, y lo dará a aquel contra quien pecó.

then he shall confess his sins which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it one-fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged.

8 Y si aquel hombre no tuviere pariente al cual sea resarcido el daño, se dará la indemnización del agravio a Jehová entregándola al sacerdote, además del carnero de las expiaciones, con el cual hará expiación por él.

But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him.

9 T oda ofrenda de todas las cosas santas que los hijos de Israel presentaren al sacerdote, suya será.

Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his.

10 Y lo santificado de cualquiera será suyo; asimismo lo que cualquiera diere al sacerdote, suyo será. Ley sobre los celos

So every man’s holy gifts shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest, it becomes his.’” The Adultery Test

11 T ambién Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 H abla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Si la mujer de alguno se descarriare, y le fuere infiel,

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

13 y alguno cohabitare con ella, y su marido no lo hubiese visto por haberse ella amancillado ocultamente, ni hubiere testigo contra ella, ni ella hubiere sido sorprendida en el acto;

and a man has intercourse with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is undetected, although she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act,

14 s i viniere sobre él espíritu de celos, y tuviere celos de su mujer, habiéndose ella amancillado; o viniere sobre él espíritu de celos, y tuviere celos de su mujer, no habiéndose ella amancillado;

if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself,

15 e ntonces el marido traerá su mujer al sacerdote, y con ella traerá su ofrenda, la décima parte de un efa de harina de cebada; no echará sobre ella aceite, ni pondrá sobre ella incienso, porque es ofrenda de celos, ofrenda recordativa, que trae a la memoria el pecado.

the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, a reminder of iniquity.

16 Y el sacerdote hará que ella se acerque y se ponga delante de Jehová.

‘Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the Lord,

17 L uego tomará el sacerdote del agua santa en un vaso de barro; tomará también el sacerdote del polvo que hubiere en el suelo del tabernáculo, y lo echará en el agua.

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

18 Y hará el sacerdote estar en pie a la mujer delante de Jehová, y descubrirá la cabeza de la mujer, y pondrá sobre sus manos la ofrenda recordativa, que es la ofrenda de celos; y el sacerdote tendrá en la mano las aguas amargas que acarrean maldición.

The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and place the grain offering of memorial in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse.

19 Y el sacerdote la conjurará y le dirá: Si ninguno ha dormido contigo, y si no te has apartado de tu marido a inmundicia, libre seas de estas aguas amargas que traen maldición;

The priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray into uncleanness, being under the authority of your husband, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;

20 m as si te has descarriado de tu marido y te has amancillado, y ha cohabitado contigo alguno fuera de tu marido

if you, however, have gone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”

21 ( el sacerdote conjurará a la mujer con juramento de maldición, y dirá a la mujer): Jehová te haga maldición y execración en medio de tu pueblo, haciendo Jehová que tu muslo caiga y que tu vientre se hinche;

(then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), “the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord’s making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell;

22 y estas aguas que dan maldición entren en tus entrañas, y hagan hinchar tu vientre y caer tu muslo. Y la mujer dirá: Amén, amén.

and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away.” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”

23 E l sacerdote escribirá estas maldiciones en un libro, y las borrará con las aguas amargas;

‘The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall wash them off into the water of bitterness.

24 y dará a beber a la mujer las aguas amargas que traen maldición; y las aguas que obran maldición entrarán en ella para amargar.

Then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness.

25 D espués el sacerdote tomará de la mano de la mujer la ofrenda de los celos, y la mecerá delante de Jehová, y la ofrecerá delante del altar.

The priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, and he shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar;

26 Y tomará el sacerdote un puñado de la ofrenda en memoria de ella, y lo quemará sobre el altar, y después dará a beber las aguas a la mujer.

and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its memorial offering and offer it up in smoke on the altar, and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water.

27 L e dará, pues, a beber las aguas; y si fuere inmunda y hubiere sido infiel a su marido, las aguas que obran maldición entrarán en ella para amargar, y su vientre se hinchará y caerá su muslo; y la mujer será maldición en medio de su pueblo.

When he has made her drink the water, then it shall come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness, and her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away, and the woman will become a curse among her people.

28 M as si la mujer no fuere inmunda, sino que estuviere limpia, ella será libre, y será fecunda.

But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will then be free and conceive children.

29 E sta es la ley de los celos, cuando la mujer cometiere infidelidad contra su marido, y se amancillare;

‘This is the law of jealousy: when a wife, being under the authority of her husband, goes astray and defiles herself,

30 o del marido sobre el cual pasare espíritu de celos, y tuviere celos de su mujer; la presentará entonces delante de Jehová, y el sacerdote ejecutará en ella toda esta ley.

or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he shall then make the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest shall apply all this law to her.

31 E l hombre será libre de iniquidad, y la mujer llevará su pecado.

Moreover, the man will be free from guilt, but that woman shall bear her guilt.’”
