1 J ehová habló a Moisés y le dijo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 « Manda a los hijos de Israel que echen del campamento a todo leproso, a todos los que padecen flujo de semen y a todo impuro por contacto 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 T anto 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 A sí lo hicieron los hijos de Israel: los echaron fuera del campamento. Como Jehová lo 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 J ehová habló a Moisés y le dijo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6 « Di a los hijos de Israel: El hombre o la mujer que cometa cualquiera de los pecados con que los hombres son infieles contra Jehová, se hace culpable.

“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, compensará enteramente el daño, 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 tiene pariente al cual sea compensado el daño, se dará la indemnización del agravio a Jehová entregándola al sacerdote, además del carnero de las expiaciones, con que el sacerdote 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 » Cualquier ofrenda de todas las cosas santas que los hijos de Israel presenten 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 por cualquiera será suyo; asimismo lo que cualquiera dé 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 J ehová habló a Moisés y le dijo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 « Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Si la mujer de alguien se descarría y le es 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 alguien cohabita con ella sin que su marido lo haya visto, por haberse ella mancillado ocultamente, ni haya ningún testigo contra ella ni ella haya 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 viene sobre él un espíritu de celos y siente celos de su mujer, habiéndose ella mancillado; o bien, si viene sobre él un espíritu de celos y siente celos de su mujer, aunque ella no se haya mancillado,

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 llevará su mujer al sacerdote, y con ella presentará su ofrenda, la décima parte de un efa de harina de cebada. No derramará 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 » 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 echará el sacerdote un poco de agua santa en un vaso de barro, y tomando del polvo que haya en el suelo del Tabernáculo, lo mezclará con 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 A simismo el sacerdote hará que la mujer se mantenga en pie delante de Jehová, descubrirá la cabeza de la mujer y pondrá sobre sus manos la ofrenda recordativa, que es la ofrenda de celos. El sacerdote sostendrá en sus manos 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 E ntonces el sacerdote le tomará juramento y le dirá: “Si ninguno ha dormido contigo, y si no te has apartado de tu marido ni te has mancillado, 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 p ero si te has descarriado de tu marido y te has mancillado, y ha cohabitado contigo alguien que no sea 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 proferirá sobre la mujer este juramento de maldición, y le dirá): Que Jehová te haga objeto de maldición y execración en medio de tu pueblo, y haga 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 q ue 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 » El 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 D ará a beber a la mujer las aguas amargas que traen maldición, y las aguas que obran maldición entrarán en ella para provocarle amargura.

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, la mecerá en presencia 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 E l sacerdote tomará un puñado de la ofrenda en memoria de ella y lo quemará sobre el altar. »Después que el sacerdote le haya dado 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 s i ésta es impura y ha sido infiel a su marido, las aguas que obran maldición entrarán en ella para provocarle amargura, su vientre se hinchará, caerá su muslo y la mujer será objeto de 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 P ero si la mujer no es impura, sino que está limpia, quedará libre y será fecunda.

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

29 » Ésta es la ley de los celos, cuando la mujer cometa infidelidad contra su marido y se mancille,

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

30 o cuando del marido se apodere un espíritu de celos y sienta celos de su mujer: entonces la presentará delante de Jehová, y el sacerdote hará con ella como manda 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 quedará libre de culpa y la mujer cargará con su pecado.»

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