< Numbers 5 >

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 Commaund the children of Israel that they put out of the hoste euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, and whosoeuer is defiled by the dead.
Praecipe filiis Israel, ut eiiciant de castris omnem leprosum, et qui semine fluit, pollutusque est super mortuo:
3 Both male and female shall ye put out: out of the hoste shall yee put them, that they defile not their tentes among whome I dwell.
tam masculum quam feminam eiicite de castris, ne contaminent ea cum habitaverint vobiscum.
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out of the host, euen as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Feceruntque ita filii Israel, et eiecerunt eos extra castra, sicut locutus erat Dominus Moysi.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 Speake vnto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men commit, and transgresse against the Lord, when that person shall trespasse,
Loquere ad filios Israel: Vir, sive mulier, cum fecerint ex omnibus peccatis, quae solent hominibus accidere, et per negligentiam transgressi fuerint mandatum Domini, atque deliquerint,
7 Then they shall confesse their sinne which they haue done, and shall restore the domage thereof with his principall, and put the fift part of it more thereto, and shall giue it vnto him, against whom he hath trespassed.
confitebuntur peccatum suum, et reddent ipsum caput, quintamque partem desuper ei, in quem peccaverint.
8 But if the man haue no kinseman, to whom he shoulde restore the domage, the domage shall be restored to the Lord for the Priests vse besides the ramme of the atonement, whereby hee shall make atonement for him.
Sin autem non fuerit qui recipiat, dabunt Domino, et erit sacerdotis, excepto ariete, qui offertur pro expiatione, ut sit placabilis hostia.
9 And euery offring of all the holy thinges of the children of Israel, which they bring vnto the Priest, shalbe his.
Omnes quoque primitiae, quas offerunt filii Israel, ad sacerdotem pertinent:
10 And euery mans halowed things shall bee his: that is, whatsoeuer any man giueth the Priest, it shalbe his.
et quidquid in Sanctuarium offertur a singulis, et traditur manibus sacerdotis, ipsius erit.
11 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
12 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, If any mans wife turne to euill, and commit a trespasse against him,
Loquere ad filios Israel, et dices ad eos: Vir, cuius uxor erraverit, maritumque contemnens
13 So that an other man lie with her fleshly, and it bee hid from the eyes of her husband, and kept close, and yet she be defiled, and there be no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,
dormierit cum altero viro, et hoc maritus deprehendere non quiverit, sed latet adulterium, et testibus argui non potest, quia non est inventa in stupro:
14 If he be moued with a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is defiled, or if he haue a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is not defiled,
si spiritus zelotypiae concitaverit virum contra uxorem suam, quae vel polluta est, vel falsa suspicione appetitur,
15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the Priest, and bring her offering with her, the tenth part of an Ephah of barly meale, but he shall not powre oyle vpon it, nor put incense thereon: for it is an offring of ielousie, an offring for a remembrance, calling the sinne to minde:
adducet eam ad sacerdotem, et offeret oblationem pro illa decimam partem sati farinae hordeaceae: non fundet super eam oleum, nec imponet thus: quia sacrificium zelotypiae est, et oblatio investigans adulterium.
16 And the Priest shall bring her, and set her before the Lord.
Offeret igitur eam sacerdos, et statuet coram Domino.
17 Then the Priest shall take the holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust that is in the floore of the Tabernacle, euen the Priest shall take it and put it into the water.
assumetque aquam sanctam in vase fictili, et pauxillum terrae de pavimento tabernaculi mittet in eam.
18 After, the Priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and vncouer the womans head, and put the offring of the memorial in her hands: it is the ielousie offering, and the Priest shall haue bitter and cursed water in his hand,
Cumque steterit mulier in conspectu Domini, discooperiet caput eius, et ponet super manus illius sacrificium recordationis, et oblationem zelotypiae: ipse autem tenebit aquas amarissimas, in quibus cum execratione maledicta congessit.
19 And the Priest shall charge her by an othe, and say vnto the woman, If no man haue lien with thee, neither thou hast turned to vncleannesse from thine husband, be free from this bitter and cursed water.
adiurabitque eam, et dicet: Si non dormivit vir alienus tecum, et si non polluta es deserto mariti thoro, non te nocebunt aquae istae amarissimae, in quas maledicta congessi.
20 But if thou hast turned from thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lyen with thee beside thine husband,
Sin autem declinasti a viro tuo, atque polluta es, et concubuisti cum altero viro:
21 (Then the Priest shall charge the woman with an othe of cursing, and the Priest shall say vnto the woman) The Lord make thee to be accursed, and detestable for the othe among thy people, and the Lord cause thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell:
his maledictionibus subiacebis: Det te Dominus in maledictionem, exemplumque cunctorum in populo suo: putrescere faciat femur tuum, et tumens uterus tuus disrumpatur.
22 And that this cursed water may goe into thy bowels, to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. Then the woman shall answere, Amen, Amen.
ingrediantur aquae maledictae in ventrem tuum, et utero tumescente putrescat femur. Et respondebit mulier, Amen, amen.
23 After, the Priest shall write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
Scribetque sacerdos in libello ista maledicta, et delebit ea aquis amarissimis, in quas maledicta congessit,
24 And shall cause the woman to drinke ye bitter and cursed water, and the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, shall enter into her.
et dabit ei bibere. Quas cum exhauserit,
25 Then the Priest shall take the ielousie offring out of the womans hand, and shall shake the offring before the Lord, and offer it vpon ye altar.
tollet sacerdos de manu eius sacrificium zelotypiae, et elevabit illud coram Domino, imponetque illud super altare: ita dumtaxat ut prius,
26 And the Priest shall take an handfull of the offring for a memorial thereof, and burne it vpon the altar, and afterwarde make the woman drinke the water.
pugillum sacrificii tollat de eo, quod offertur, et incendat super altare: et sic potum det mulieri aquas amarissimas.
27 When yee haue made her drinke the water, (if she bee defiled and haue trespassed against her husband) then shall the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, enter into her, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be accursed among her people.
Quas cum biberit, si polluta est, et contempto viro adulterii rea, pertransibunt eam aquae maledictionis, et inflato ventre computrescet femur: eritque mulier in maledictionem, et in exemplum omni populo.
28 But if the woman bee not defiled, but bee cleane, she shalbe free and shall conceiue and beare.
Quod si polluta non fuerit, erit innoxia, et faciet liberos.
29 This is the law of ielousie, when a wife turneth from her husband and is defiled,
Ista est lex zelotypiae. Si declinaverit mulier a viro suo, et si polluta fuerit,
30 Or when a man is moued with a ielous minde being ielous ouer his wife then shall he bring the woman before the Lord, and the Priest shall do to her according to al this lawe,
maritusque zelotypiae spiritu concitatus adduxerit eam in conspectu Domini, et fecerit ei sacerdos iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt:
31 And the man shalbe free from sinne, but this woman shall beare her iniquitie.
maritus absque culpa erit, et illa recipiet iniquitatem suam.
