Çölde Sayım 5

¹Ve Rab Musa'ya konuşarak şöyle dedi:

²"İsrail oğullarına buyur ki, ordugahın içinden her cüzzamlıyı, akıntısı olan herkesi ve bir ölü can yüzünden kirli olan herkesi dışarı çıkarsınlar.

³Erkek olsun kadın olsun, onları ordugahın dışına çıkarın; içlerinde mesken kurduğum ordugahlarını kirletmesinler."

⁴İsrail oğulları böyle yaptılar ve onları ordugahın dışına çıkardılar; Rab Musa'ya nasıl buyurduysa, İsrail oğulları aynen öyle yaptılar.

⁵Ve Rab Musa'ya konuşarak şöyle dedi:

⁶"İsrail oğullarına de ki: Bir erkek ya da kadın, insanlara özgü günahlardan birini işler, Rab'bi tamamen göz ardı ederek sadakatsizlik eder ve o can suçlu duruma düşerse,

⁷işlediği günahı itiraf etsin. İşlediği suçun bedelini asıl miktarıyla ödesin, üzerine beşte birini eklesin ve kime karşı suç işlediyse ona geri versin.

⁸Ama eğer kişinin, suçun bedelini kendisine ödeyeceği hak sahibi yakın bir kurtarıcı akrabası yoksa, ödenecek suç bedeli Rab'be, yani kâhine ait olacaktır; kendisi için kefaret edeceği kefaret koçu hariç.

⁹İsrail oğullarının kutsal kıldığı şeyler arasından Rab'be sundukları her ilk ürün kâhine ait olacaktır.

¹⁰Herkesin kutsal adakları kendisinindir; ancak bir kimse kâhine ne verirse, o kâhine ait olacaktır."

¹¹Ve Rab Musa'ya konuşarak şöyle dedi:

¹²"İsrail oğullarına söyle ve onlara de ki: Bir adamın karısı yoldan sapar, onu tamamen hiçe sayıp sadakatsizlik ederse,

¹³ve başka bir adam onunla tohum yatağını paylaşıp cinsel ilişkide bulunur da bu durum kocasının gözünden gizlenir, kadın kendini kirlettiği halde bu gizli kalırsa, ona karşı bir tanık yoksa ve suçüstü yakalanmamışsa;

¹⁴ve adamın içine bir kıskançlık ruhu doğar da kadın gerçekten kirlendiği için karısını kıskanırsa ya da kadın kirlenmediği halde adamın içine bir kıskançlık ruhu doğup karısını kıskanırsa;

¹⁵o zaman adam karısını kâhine götürecek ve onun için sunu olarak bir efanın onda biri kadar arpa unu getirecektir. Unun üzerine zeytinyağı dökmeyecek, üzerine günlük koymayacaktır; çünkü bu bir kıskançlık sunusu, günahı ifşa eden bir hatırlatma sunusudur.

¹⁶Kâhin kadını yaklaştıracak ve onu Rab'bin huzurunda durduracaktır.

¹⁷Kâhin toprak bir kaba temiz diri su koyacak, Tanıklık Çadırı'nın zeminindeki topraktan biraz alıp suya atacaktır.

¹⁸Kâhin kadını Rab'bin huzurunda durduracak, kadının başını açacak ve hatırlatma sunusunu, yani kıskançlık sunusunu onun ellerine verecektir; kâhinin elinde ise ifşa eden ve lanet getiren o sınama suyu bulunacaktır.

¹⁹Kâhin kadına ant içirerek şöyle diyecektir: 'Eğer seninle başka bir adam yatmadıysa ve kendi kocanın tabiyeti altındayken yoldan sapıp kirlenmediysen, ifşa eden bu lanetli sınama suyundan zarar görme.

²⁰Ama evli bir kadınken yoldan saptın ve kirlendinse, kocandan başka bir adam seninle yatak paylaştıysa...'

²¹Kâhin kadına bu lanet yeminini ettirecek ve kadına şöyle diyecektir: 'Rab senin uyluğunu çöktürüp rahmini şişirdiğinde, seni halkının arasında bir lanet ve ant konusu yapsın.

²²Lanet getiren bu su rahmini şişirmek ve uyluğunu çöktürmek için karnına girsin.' Kadın da, 'Amin, amin' diyecektir.

²³Kâhin bu lanetleri bir kitaba yazacak ve lanet getiren sınama suyunun içine silerek akıtacaktır.

²⁴Sonra kadına lanet getiren sınama suyunu içirecektir; lanet getiren sınama suyu kadının içine girecektir.

²⁵Kâhin kıskançlık sunusunu kadının elinden alacak, sunuyu Rab'bin huzuruna sunacak ve onu sunağa götürecektir.

²⁶Kâhin sunudan bir avuç dolusu hatırlatma payı alıp sunakta yakacak ve bundan sonra kadına suyu içirecektir.

²⁷Eğer kadın kirlenmiş ve kocasından tamamen gizlenmişse, lanet getiren sınama suyu onun içine girecek, karnı şişecek, uyluğu çökecek ve kadın halkı arasında bir lanet konusu olacaktır.

²⁸Ama eğer kadın kirlenmemiş ve temizse, suçsuz sayılacak ve tohumu tutup hamile kalabilecektir.

²⁹Evli bir kadının yoldan sapıp kirlendiği durumlar için kıskançlık yasası budur;

³⁰ya da bir adamın içine kıskançlık ruhu doğup karısını kıskandığı zaman, kadını Rab'bin huzuruna çıkaracak ve kâhin bu yasanın hepsini ona uygulayacaktır.

³¹Adam suçtan uzak kalacak, ama o kadın kendi günahının cezasını çekecektir."

¹ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

²πρόσταξον τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐξαποστειλάτωσαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς πάντα λεπρὸν καὶ πάντα γονορρυῆ καὶ πάντα ἀκάθαρτον ἐπὶ ψυχῇ·

³ἀπὸ ἀρσενικοῦ ἕως θηλυκοῦ ἐξαποστείλατε ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ μιανοῦσι τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐγὼ καταγίνομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς.

⁴καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτοὺς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς· καθὰ ἐλάλησε Κύριος Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ.

⁵καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

⁶λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· ἀνὴρ ἢ γυνή, ὅς τις ἂν ποιήσῃ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων, καὶ παριδὼν παρίδῃ καὶ πλημμελήσῃ ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη,

⁷ἐξαγορεύσει τὴν ἁμαρτίαν, ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ ἀποδώσει τὴν πλημμέλειαν τὸ κεφάλαιον καὶ τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον αὐτοῦ προσθήσει ἐπ’ αὐτό, καὶ ἀποδώσει, τίνι ἐπλημμέλησεν αὐτῷ.

⁸ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ὁ ἀγχιστεύων, ὥστε ἀποδοῦναι αὐτῷ τὸ πλημμέλημα πρὸς αὐτόν, τὸ πλημμέλημα τὸ ἀποδιδόμενον Κυρίῳ τῷ ἱερεῖ ἔσται, πλὴν τοῦ κριοῦ τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ, δι’ οὗ ἐξιλάσεται ἐν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτοῦ.

⁹καὶ πᾶσα ἀπαρχὴ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἁγιαζόμενα ἐν υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅσα ἐὰν προσφέρωσι Κυρίῳ, τῷ ἱερεῖ αὐτῷ ἔσται.

¹⁰καὶ ἑκάστου τὰ ἡγιασμένα αὐτοῦ ἔσται· καὶ ἀνήρ, ὃς ἂν δῷ τῷ ἱερεῖ, αὐτῷ ἔσται.

¹¹Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

¹²λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· ἀνδρὸς ἀνδρός, ἐὰν παραβῇ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑπεριδοῦσα παρίδῃ αὐτὸν

¹³καὶ κοιμηθῇ τις μετ’ αὐτῆς κοίτην σπέρματος, καὶ λάθῃ ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ κρύψῃ, αὐτὴ δὲ ᾖ μεμιασμένη καὶ μάρτυς μὴ ἦν μετ’ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτὴ μὴ ᾖ συνειλημμένη,

¹⁴καὶ ἐπέλθῃ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα ζηλώσεως καὶ ζηλώσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, αὐτὴ δὲ μεμίανται, ἢ ἐπέλθῃ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα ζηλώσεως καὶ ζηλώσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, αὐτὴ δὲ μὴ ᾖ μεμιασμένη,

¹⁵καὶ ἄξει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα καὶ προσοίσει τὸ δῶρον περὶ αὐτῆς, τὸ δέκατον τοῦ οἰφὶ ἄλευρον κρίθινον, οὐκ ἐπιχεεῖ ἐπ’ αὐτὸ ἔλαιον, οὐδὲ ἐπιθήσει ἐπ’ αὐτὸ λίβανον· ἔστι γὰρ θυσία ζηλοτυπίας, θυσία μνημοσύνου, ἀναμιμνήσκουσα ἁμαρτίαν.

¹⁶καὶ προσάξει αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ στήσει αὐτὴν ἔναντι Κυρίου,

¹⁷καὶ λήψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ὕδωρ καθαρὸν ζῶν ἐν ἀγγείῳ ὀστρακίνῳ καὶ τῆς γῆς τῆς οὔσης ἐπὶ τοῦ ἐδάφους τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ λαβὼν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐμβαλεῖ εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ.

¹⁸καὶ στήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν γυναῖκα ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἀποκαλύψει τὴν κεφαλὴν τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ δώσει ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς τὴν θυσίαν τοῦ μνημοσύνου, τὴν θυσίαν τῆς ζηλοτυπίας, ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ ἱερέως ἔσται τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαταρωμένου τούτου.

¹⁹καὶ ὁρκιεῖ αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἐρεῖ τῇ γυναικί· εἰ μὴ κεκοίμηταί τις μετὰ σοῦ, εἰ μὴ παραβέβηκας μιανθῆναι ὑπὸ τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν σεαυτῆς, ἀθῴα ἴσθι ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαταρωμένου τούτου·

²⁰εἰ δὲ σὺ παραβέβηκας ὕπανδρος οὖσα, ἢ μεμίανσαι καὶ ἔδωκέ τις τὴν κοίτην αὐτοῦ ἐν σοί, πλὴν τοῦ ἀνδρός σου·

²¹καὶ ὁρκιεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν γυναῖκα ἐν τοῖς ὅρκοις τῆς ἀρᾶς ταύτης, καὶ ἐρεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ γυναικί· δῴη σε Κύριος ἐν ἀρᾷ καὶ ἐνόρκιον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐν τῷ δοῦναι Κύριον τὸν μηρόν σου διαπεπτωκότα, καὶ τὴν κοιλίαν σου πεπρησμένην,

²²καὶ εἰσελεύσεται τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐπικαταρώμενον τοῦτο εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν σου πρῆσαι γαστέρα καὶ διαπεσεῖν μηρόν σου. καὶ ἐρεῖ ἡ γυνή· γένοιτο, γένοιτο.

²³καὶ γράψει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰς ἀρὰς ταύτας εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ ἐξαλείψει εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαταρωμένου.

²⁴καὶ ποτιεῖ τὴν γυναῖκα τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαταρωμένου, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς αὐτὴν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐπικαταρώμενον τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ.

²⁵καὶ λήψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῆς γυναικὸς τὴν θυσίαν τῆς ζηλοτυπίας καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν θυσίαν ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ προσοίσει αὐτὴν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον,

²⁶καὶ δράξεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τῆς θυσίας τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς καὶ ἀνοίσει αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ποτιεῖ τὴν γυναῖκα τὸ ὕδωρ.

²⁷καὶ ἔσται, ἐὰν ᾖ μεμιασμένη καὶ λήθῃ λάθη τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς αὐτὴν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ἐλεγμοῦ τὸ ἐπικαταρώμενον, καὶ πρησθήσεται τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ διαπεσεῖται ὁ μηρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται ἡ γυνὴ εἰς ἀρὰν τῷ λαῷ αὐτῆς.

²⁸ἐὰν δὲ μὴ μιανθῇ ἡ γυνὴ καὶ καθαρὰ ᾖ, καὶ ἀθῴα ἔσται καὶ ἐκσπερματιεῖ σπέρμα.

²⁹οὗτος ὁ νόμος τῆς ζηλοτυπίας, ᾧ ἂν παραβῇ ἡ γυνὴ ὕπανδρος οὖσα καὶ μιανθῇ·

³⁰ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα ζηλώσεως καὶ ζηλώσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ στήσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ποιήσῃ αὐτῇ ὁ ἱερεὺς πάντα τὸν νόμον τοῦτον·

³¹καὶ ἀθῷος ἔσται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐκείνη λήψεται τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῆς. [*] In the original: ἀκάθαρτον ἐπὶ ψυχῇ (unclean from a soul).

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²Charge the children of Israel, and let them send forth out of the camp every leper, and every one who has in issue of the reins, and every one who is unclean from a dead body. [*]

³Whether male or female, send them forth out of the camp; and they shall not defile their camps in which I dwell among them.

⁴And the children of Israel did so, and sent them out of the camp: as the Lord said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

⁵And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

⁶Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Every man or woman who shall commit any sin that is common to man, or if that soul shall in anywise have neglected the commandment and transgressed;

⁷[that person] shall confess the sin which he has committed, and shall make satisfaction for his trespass: he [shall pay] the principal, and shall add to it the fifth part, and shall make restoration to him against whom he has trespassed.

⁸But if a man have no near kinsman, so as to make satisfaction for his trespass to him, the trespass-offering paid to the Lord shall be for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which he shall make atonement with it for him.

⁹And every first-fruits in all the sanctified things among the children of Israel, whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be for the priest himself.

¹⁰And the hallowed things of every man shall be his; and whatever man shall give [any thing] to the priest, the gift shall be his.

¹¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosesoever wife shall transgress against him, and slight and despise him,

¹³and [supposing] any one shall lie with her carnally, and the thing shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she should conceal it and be herself defiled, and there be no witness with her, and she should not be taken;

¹⁴and there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be jealous of his wife, and she should not be defiled;

¹⁵then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring his gift for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal: he shall not pour oil upon it, neither shall he put frankincense upon it; for it is a sacrifice of jealousy, a sacrifice of memorial, recalling sin to remembrance.

¹⁶And the priest shall bring her, and cause her to stand before the Lord.

¹⁷And the priest shall take pure running water in an earthen vessel, and he shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle of witness, and the priest having taken it shall cast it into the water.

¹⁸And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before the Lord, and shall uncover the head of the woman, and shall put into her hands the sacrifice of memorial, the sacrifice of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest shall be the water of this conviction that brings the curse.

¹⁹And the priest shall adjure her, and shall say to the woman, If no one has lain with thee, and if thou hast not transgressed so as to be polluted, being under the power of thy husband, be free from this water of the conviction that causes the curse.

²⁰But if being a married woman thou hast transgressed, or been polluted, and any one has lain with thee, beside thy husband:

²¹then the priest shall adjure the woman by the oaths of this curse, and the priest shall say to the woman, The Lord bring thee into a curse and under an oath in the midst of thy people, in that the Lord should cause thy thigh to rot and thy belly to swell;

²²and this water bringing the curse shall enter into thy womb to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. And the woman shall say, So be it, So be it.

²³And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the water of the conviction that brings the curse.

²⁴And he shall cause the woman to drink the water of the conviction that brings the curse; and the water of the conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her.

²⁵And the priest shall take from the hand of the woman the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall present the sacrifice before the Lord, and shall bring it to the altar.

²⁶And the priest shall take a handful of the sacrifice as a memorial of it, and shall offer it up upon the altar; and afterwards he shall cause the woman to drink the water.

²⁷And it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have altogether escaped the notice of her husband, then the water of the conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her; and she shall swell in her belly, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be for a curse in the midst of her people.

²⁸But if the woman have not been polluted, and be clean, then shall she be guiltless and shall conceive seed.

²⁹This is the law of jealousy, wherein a married woman should happen to transgress, and be defiled;

³⁰or in the case of a man on whomsoever the spirit of jealousy should come, and he should be jealous of his wife, and he should place his wife before the Lord, and the priest shall execute towards her all this law.

³¹Then the man shall be clear from sin, and that woman shall bear her sin.
