וּמַלִּיל יְיָ עִם משֶׁה לְמֵימָר:
Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying;
פַּקֵּיד יָת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִישַׁלְּחוּן מִן מַשְׁרִיתָא כָּל דִּסְגִיר וְכָל דְּדָאֵב וְכֹל דִּמְסָאָב לִטְמֵי נַפְשָׁא דֶאֱנָשָׁא:
Command Bnei Yisroel that they must expel from the camp. anyone with tzora’as, and anyone from whom flows a [seminal] discharge and anyone who became defiled by a (departed) [the bones of the] soul [of a person].
מִדְּכַר עַד נוּקְבָא תְּשַׁלְּחוּן לְמִבָּרָא לְמַשְׁרִיתָא תְּשַׁלְּחֻנּוּן וְלָא יְסַאֲבוּן יָת מַשְׁרִיתְהוֹן דִּי שְׁכִנְתִּי שָׁרְיָא בֵינֵיהוֹן:
Whether male or female you shall send them out. Beyond the camp you shall send them, and they shall not defile their camps in which I dwell [My Shechina dwells] among them.
וַעֲבָדוּ כֵן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשַׁלְּחוּ יָתְהוֹן לְמִבָּרָא לְמַשְׁרִיתָא כְּמָא דִּי מַלִּיל יְיָ עִם משֶׁה כֵּן עֲבָדוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:
Bnei Yisroel did so, and they sent them beyond the camp; just as Adonoy spoke to Moshe, so did Bnei Yisroel do.
וּמַלִּיל יְיָ עִם משֶׁה לְמֵימָר:
Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying;
מַלֵּל עִם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גְּבַר אוֹ אִתְּתָא אֲרֵי יַעְבְּדוּן מִכָּל חוֹבֵי אֱנָשָׁא לְשַׁקָּרָא שְׁקָר קֳדָם יְיָ וְיֵחוֹב אֱנָשָׁא הַהוּא:
Speak to Bnei Yisroel: When a man or a woman commits any of the sins against man, acting treacherously [untruthfully before] against Adonoy, and that person is guilty.
וִיוַדּוּן יָת חוֹבֵיהוֹן דִּי עֲבָדוּ וְיָתֵב יָת חוֹבְתֵיהּ בְּרֵישֵׁיהּ וְחֻמְשֵׁיהּ יוֹסֵף עֲלוֹהִי וְיִתֵּן לִדְחָב לֵיהּ:
They shall confess the sins which they committed and return the principal amount [of the object] of his guilt, and add one fifth to that amount. He shall then give it to whom he is indebted.
וְאִם לֵית לִגְבַר פָּרִיק לַאֲתָבָא חוֹבְתָא לֵיהּ חוֹבְתָא דִּמְתֵב קֳדָם יְיָ לְכַהֲנָא בַּר מִדְּכַר כִּפּוּרַיָּא דִּי יְכַפֵּר בֵּיהּ עֲלוֹהִי:
But if the man has no redeemer (relative) to whom the debt may be returned, the debt being returned then belongs to Adonoy, [then] to the kohein. This is besides the ram of forgiveness with which he [his sin] will be atoned.
וְכָל אַפְרָשׁוּתָא לְכָל קוּדְשַׁיָּא דִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל דִּי יְקָרְבוּן לְכַהֲנָא דִּלֵּיהּ יְהֵא:
Every terumah-gift of all the sacred things of Bnei Yisroel that they will bring to the kohein, shall be his.
וּגְבַר יָת מַעֲשַׂר קוּדְשֵׁיהּ דִּלֵּיהּ יְהוֹן גְּבַר דִּיִתֵּן לְכַהֲנָא דִּלֵּיהּ יְהֵא:
A [tenth of] man’s sacred objects shall be his; whatever a man gives to the kohein, shall be his.
וּמַלִּיל יְיָ עִם משֶׁה לְמֵימָר:
Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying;
מַלֵּל עִם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְתֵימַר לְהוֹן גְּבַר גְּבַר אֲרֵי תִסְטֵי אִתְּתֵיהּ וּתְשַׁקֵּר בֵּיהּ שְׁקָר:
Speak to Bnei Yisroel and say to them: If any man’s wife goes astray and acts treacherously [untruthfully] toward him.
וְיִשְׁכֻּב גְּבַר יָתַהּ שָׁכְבַת זַרְעָא וִיהֵי מְכַסָּא מֵעֵינֵי בַעְלָהּ וּמִטַּמְּרָא וְהִיא מְסָאָבָא וְסָהִיד לֵית בַּהּ וְהִיא לָא אִתַּחָדָת:
And a man has lain with her conjugally but it was hidden [covered] from her husband’s eyes and she was concealed and has become defiled and there is no witness against her, and she was not seized forcibly.
וְיֶעְבַּר עֲלוֹהִי רוּחַ קִנְאָה וִיקַנֵּי יָת אִתְּתֵיהּ וְהִיא מְסָאָבָא אוֹ עֲבַר עֲלוֹהִי רוּחַ קִנְאָה וִיקַנֵּי יָת אִתְּתֵיהּ וְהִיא לָא מְסָאָבָא:
[When] a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife and she was defiled or, a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife and she was not defiled,
וְיַיְתִי גַבְרָא יָת אִתְּתֵיהּ לְוָת כַּהֲנָא וְיַיְתִי יָת קֻרְבָּנַהּ עֲלַהּ חַד מִן עַסְרָא בִּתְלַת סְאִין קִמְחָא שְׂעָרִין לָא יְרִיק עֲלוֹהִי מִשְׁחָא וְלָא יִתֵּן עֲלוֹהִי לְבֻנְתָּא אֲרֵי מִנְחַת קִנְאָתָא הוּא מִנְחַת דּוּכְרָנָא מַדְכָּרַת חוֹבָא:
that man shall bring his wife to the kohein and he shall bring her offering for her; [which is] one tenth of an epha [three se’in] of barley flour; he shall not pour oil over it and he shall not put frankincense on it, for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of remembrance, recalling an iniquity.
וִיקָרֵב יָתַהּ כַּהֲנָא וִיקִימִנַּהּ קֳדָם יְיָ:
The kohein shall bring her near and station her before Adonoy.
וְיִסַּב כַּהֲנָא מֵי כִיּוֹר בְּמַן דַּחֲסָף וּמִן עַפְרָא דִּי יְהֵי בִּיסוֹדֵי מַשְׁכְּנָא יִסַּב כַּהֲנָא וְיִתֵּן לְמַיָּא:

The kohein shall place her under oath and say to the woman: If a man has not lain with you [conjugally] and if you have not gone astray to be defiled while you were married to [by someone other than] your husband, you shall be absolved of these bitter, lethal waters.
וְאַתְּ אֲרֵי סְטִית בַּר מִבַּעֲלִיךְ וַאֲרֵי אִסְתָּאָבְתְּ וִיהַב גְּבַר בִּיךְ יָת שְׁכֻבְתֵּיהּ בַּר מִבַּעֲלִיךְ:

וְיֵעֲלוּן מַיָּא מְלַטְטַיָּא הָאִלֵּין בִּמְעַיְכִי לַאֲפָחָא מְעִין וּלְאַמְסָאָה יַרְכָּא וְתֵימַר אִתְּתָא אָמֵן אָמֵן:
This bitter, lethal water will enter your abdomen to swell [inflate] the abdomen, and collapse [fall away] the thigh and the woman shall say “Amein, Amein”.
