< Leviticus 12 >

1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て曰たまはく
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
イスラエルの子孫に告て言へ婦女もし種をやどして男子を生ば七日汚るべし即ちその月の穢の日數ほど汚るるなり
3 The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
また第八日に至らばその嬰の前の皮を割べし
4 Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
その婦女は尚その成潔の血に三十三日を歴べしその成潔の日の滿るまでは聖物にさはるべからず聖所にいるべからず
5 If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
若女子を生ば二七日汚るべし月の穢におけるがごとしまたその成潔の血に六十六日を經べきなり
6 ‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
而してその男子あるひは女子につきての成潔の日滿なば燔祭の爲に當歳の羔羊を取り罪祭のために雛き鴿あるひは鳲鳩を取てこれを集會の幕屋の門に携へきたり祭司にいたるべし
7 The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
祭司は之をヱホバの前にささげてその婦女のために贖罪をなすべし然せばその出血の穢潔まるべし是すなはち男子または女子を生る婦女にかかはるところの例なり
8 If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
その婦女もし羔羊にまで手の届かざる時は鳲鳩二羽か又は雛き鴿二羽を携へきたるべし是一は燔祭のため一は罪祭のためなり祭司これがために贖罪をなすべし然せば婦女は潔まるべし
