This can be written in active form. Alternate translation: “if she has defined herself by committing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) committed a sin

Here the “sin” refers specifically to committing adultery. The meaning of this statement can be made clear. Alternate translation: “committed adultery”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

(Occurrence 0) Her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away

This could mean: (1) that the woman will become unable to have children or (2) that the woman’s pregnancy will end too early and the baby will die. Here the word “thigh” is a polite way of referring to the woman’s womb or her private parts. See how you translated these concepts in Numbers 5:21.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) The woman will be cursed among her people

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Her people will curse her”
