Liber Numeri 5
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 praecipe filiis Israhel ut eiciant de castris omnem leprosum et qui semine fluit pollutusque est super mortuo
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:
3 tam masculum quam feminam eicite de castris ne contaminent ea cum habitaverim vobiscum
Both male and female shall you put out, without the camp shall you put them; that they defile not their camps, in the middle whereof I dwell.
4 feceruntque ita filii Israhel et eiecerunt eos extra castra sicut locutus erat Dominus Mosi
And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 loquere ad filios Israhel vir sive mulier cum fecerint ex omnibus peccatis quae solent hominibus accidere et per neglegentiam transgressi fuerint mandatum Domini atque deliquerint
Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
7 confitebuntur peccatum suum et reddent ipsum caput quintamque partem desuper ei in quem peccaverint
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add to it the fifth part thereof, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed.
8 sin autem non fuerit qui recipiat dabunt Domino et erit sacerdotis excepto ariete qui offertur pro expiatione ut sit placabilis hostia
But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 omnes quoque primitiae quas offerunt filii Israhel ad sacerdotem pertinent
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
10 et quicquid in sanctuarium offertur a singulis et traditur manibus sacerdotis ipsius erit
And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.
11 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 loquere ad filios Israhel et dices ad eos vir cuius uxor erraverit maritumque contemnens
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 dormierit cum altero viro et hoc maritus deprehendere non quiverit sed latet adulterium et testibus argui non potest quia non est inventa in stupro
And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14 si spiritus zelotypiae concitaverit virum contra uxorem suam quae vel polluta est vel falsa suspicione appetitur
And the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15 adducet eam ad sacerdotem et offeret oblationem pro illa decimam partem sati farinae hordiaciae non fundet super eam oleum nec inponet tus quia sacrificium zelotypiae est et oblatio investigans adulterium
Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 offeret igitur eam sacerdos et statuet coram Domino
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
17 adsumetque aquam sanctam in vase fictili et pauxillum terrae de pavimento tabernaculi mittet in eam
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18 cumque steterit mulier in conspectu Domini discoperiet caput eius et ponet super manus illius sacrificium recordationis et oblationem zelotypiae ipse autem tenebit aquas amarissimas in quibus cum execratione maledicta congessit
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse:
19 adiurabitque eam et dicet si non dormivit vir alienus tecum et si non polluta es deserto mariti toro non te nocebunt aquae istae amarissimae in quas maledicta congessi
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that causes the curse:
20 sin autem declinasti a viro tuo atque polluta es et concubuisti cum altero
But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband:
21 his maledictionibus subiacebis det te Dominus in maledictionem exemplumque cunctorum in populo suo putrescere faciat femur tuum et tumens uterus disrumpatur
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell;
22 ingrediantur aquae maledictae in ventrem tuum et utero tumescente putrescat femur et respondebit mulier amen amen
And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 scribetque sacerdos in libello ista maledicta et delebit ea aquis amarissimis in quas maledicta congessit
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 et dabit ei bibere quas cum exhauserit
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
25 tollet sacerdos de manu eius sacrificium zelotypiae et elevabit illud coram Domino inponetque super altare ita dumtaxat ut prius
Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it on the altar:
26 pugillum sacrificii tollat de eo quod offertur et incendat super altare et sic potum det mulieri aquas amarissimas
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27 quas cum biberit si polluta est et contempto viro adulterii rea pertransibunt eam aquae maledictionis et inflato ventre conputrescet femur eritque mulier in maledictionem et in exemplum omni populo
And when he has made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 quod si polluta non fuerit erit innoxia et faciet liberos
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 ista est lex zelotypiae si declinaverit mulier a viro suo et si polluta fuerit
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 maritusque zelotypiae spiritu concitatus adduxerit eam in conspectu Domini et fecerit ei sacerdos iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt
Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 maritus absque culpa erit et illa recipiet iniquitatem suam
Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
