| 肋未紀 |
Leviticus |
| 1上主訓示梅瑟說： |
1The LORD said to Moses, |
| 2「你告訴以色列子民說：若一婦人分娩，生一男孩，七天之久，她是不潔的；她不潔有如經期不潔一樣。 |
2 "Tell the Israelites: When a woman has conceived and gives birth to a boy, she shall be unclean for seven days, with the same uncleanness as at her menstrual period. |
| 3第八天，應給孩子割損。 |
3On the eighth day, the flesh of the boy's foreskin shall be circumcised, |
| 4此外，她還要守度三十三天的潔血期。在未滿取潔的日期以前，不可接觸任何聖物，不可走進聖所。 |
4and then she shall spend thirty-three days more in becoming purified of her blood; she shall not touch anything sacred nor enter the sanctuary till the days of her purification are fulfilled. |
| 5若生一女孩，兩星期是不潔的，有如經期一樣。此外，還要守度六十六天的潔血期。 |
5If she gives birth to a girl, for fourteen days she shall be as unclean as at her menstruation, after which she shall spend sixty-six days in becoming purified of her blood. |
| 6一滿了取潔的日期，不拘為兒子或女兒，她應在會幕門口交給司祭一隻一歲的羔羊，獻作全燔祭；一隻雛鴿或一隻斑鳩，獻作贖罪祭。 |
6"When the days of her purification for a son or for a daughter are fulfilled, she shall bring to the priest at the entrance of the meeting tent a yearling lamb for a holocaust and a pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. |
| 7司祭將祭品奉獻在上主面前，為她行贖罪禮，她纔算由流血的狀況中潔淨了：以上是關於生男或生女的婦人的法律。 |
7The priest shall offer them up before the LORD to make atonement for her, and thus she will be clean again after her flow of blood. Such is the law for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl child. |
| 8但若她的財力不夠備辦一隻羔羊，可帶兩隻斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿：一隻獻作全燔祭，一隻獻作贖罪祭。司祭為她行贖罪禮，她就潔淨了。」 |
8 If, however, she cannot afford a lamb, she may take two turtledoves or two pigeons, the one for a holocaust and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and thus she will again be clean." |
