And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 5 of Numbers. The test for jealousy regulates a marital situation in which there is suspicion of unfaithfulness without sufficient evidence. The procedure places the matter under God’s judgment rather than allowing an uncontrolled private accusation. The passage belongs to the legislation of camp holiness and shows how Israel was to handle sensitive conflicts through established ritual procedures.

Und wenn sie das Wasser getrunken hat: ist sie unrein und hat sich an ihrem Mann versündigt, so wird das verfluchte Wasser in sie gehen und ihr bitter sein, daß ihr der Bauch schwellen und die Hüfte schwinden wird, und wird das Weib ein Fluch sein unter ihrem Volk;
Darale pues a beber las aguas; y será, que si fuere inmunda y hubiere hecho traición contra su marido, las aguas que obran maldición entrarán en ella en amargura, y su vientre se hinchará, y caerá su muslo; y la mujer será por maldición en medio de su pueblo.
Le dará de beber el agua, y si ella se ha contaminado y ha sido infiel a su marido, el agua que trae maldición entrará en ella y le causará amargura; su vientre se hinchará y su muslo se consumirá. La mujer será un ejemplo de maldición entre su pueblo.
Quand il aura fait boire les eaux, il arrivera, si elle s'est souillée et a été infidèle à son mari, que les eaux qui apportent la malédiction entreront en elle pour produire l'amertume; son ventre s'enflera, sa cuisse se desséchera, et cette femme sera en malédiction au milieu de son peuple.
E quando egli gliela avrà data a bere, avverrà che, se ella si è contaminata, e ha commesso misfatto contro al suo marito, quando l’acqua che reca maledizione sarà entrata in lei, per acqua amara, il ventre le gonfierà, e la coscia le caderà; e quella donna sarà in esecrazione in mezzo del suo popolo.
E, havendo-lhe dado a beber aquela água, será que, se ela se tiver contaminado, e contra seu marido tiver transgredido, a água amaldiçoante entrará nela para amargura, e o seu ventre se inchará, e consumirá a sua coxa; e aquela mulher será por maldição no meio do seu povo.
祭司叫她喝了以後,她若玷污自己,確實對丈夫不貞,這致詛咒的水必進入她裏面,令她痛苦,她的肚腹就要腫脹起來,大腿萎縮;這婦人就在她百姓中成為詛咒。
