New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18
The priest shall then have the woman stand before the
Lord
and let down
the hair of
the woman’s head, and place the grain offering of reminder in her hands, that is, the grain offering of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
19
And the priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, 'If no man has had sexual relations with you and if you have not gone astray into uncleanness,
as you are
under
the authority of
your husband, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;
20
if, however, you have gone astray,
though
under
the authority of
your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had sexual intercourse with you'
21
(then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), 'may the
Lord
make you a curse and an oath among your people by the
Lord
’S making your thigh shriveled and your belly swollen;
22
and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach, to make your belly swell up and your thigh shrivel.' And the woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
King James Version
Chapter 5
18
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 causeth the curse:
19
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The
Lord
make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the
Lord
doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18
After the priest has the woman stand before the
Lord
, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering for remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.
19
The priest will require the woman to take an oath and will say to her, ‘If no man has slept with you, if you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, be unaffected by this bitter water that brings a curse.
20
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has slept with you’—
21
at this point the priest will make the woman take the oath with the sworn curse, and he is to say to her—‘May the
Lord
make you into an object of your people’s cursing and swearing when he makes your womb shrivel and your belly swell.
22
May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach, causing your belly to swell and your womb to shrivel.’ "And the woman will reply, ‘Amen, Amen.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
18
When the priest has presented the woman before the
Lord
, he must unbind her hair and place in her hands the offering of proof — the jealousy offering to determine whether her husband’s suspicions are justified. The priest will stand before her, holding the jar of bitter water that brings a curse to those who are guilty.
19
The priest will then put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has had sex with you, and you have not gone astray and defiled yourself while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune from the effects of this bitter water that brings on the curse.
20
But if you have gone astray by being unfaithful to your husband, and have defiled yourself by having sex with another man — ’
21
At this point the priest must put the woman under oath by saying, ‘May the people know that the
Lord
’s curse is upon you when he makes you infertile, causing your womb to shrivel and your abdomen to swell.
22
Now may this water that brings the curse enter your body and cause your abdomen to swell and your womb to shrivel. ’ And the woman will be required to say, ‘Yes, let it be so.’
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
18
And the priest shall set the woman before the
Lord
and unbind the hair of the woman 's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
19
Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, ‘If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband 's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse.
20
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband 's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
21
then’ (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) ‘the
Lord
make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the
Lord
makes your thigh fall away and your body swell.
22
May this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.’ And the woman shall say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
New International Version
Chapter 5
18
After the priest has had the woman stand before the
Lord
, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.
19
Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.
20
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband"—
21
here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—"may the
Lord
cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.
22
May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries." " ‘Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."
New King James Version
Chapter 5
18
Then the priest shall stand the woman before the
Lord
, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which
is
the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse.
19
And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness
while
under your husband’s
authority,
be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.
20
But if you have gone astray
while
under your husband’s
authority,
and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”—
21
then the priest shall put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman— “the
Lord
make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the
Lord
makes your thigh rot and your belly swell;
22
and may this water that causes the curse go into your stomach, and make
your
belly swell and
your
thigh rot.” ‘ Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”
