Numeri 5
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Lamula Aisraeli kuti achotse mu msasa aliyense amene ali ndi matenda opatsirana a pa khungu kapena matenda otuluka madzi mʼthupi a mtundu uliwonse, kapena aliyense wodetsedwa chifukwa cha munthu wakufa.
Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;
3 Muchotse amuna komanso amayi ndipo muwatulutsire kunja kwa msasa kuti asadetse msasa wawo kumene Ine ndimakhala pakati pawo.”
Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.
4 Aisraeli anachitadi zimenezi. Anawatulutsira kunja kwa msasa monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.
5 Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
6 “Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pamene mwamuna kapena mayi walakwira mnzake mwa njira iliyonse, ndiye kuti ndi wosakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova. Munthuyo ndi wochimwa ndithu ndipo
Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;
7 ayenera kuwulula tchimo limene anachitalo. Ayenera kubweza zonse zimene anawononga, ndipo awonjezerepo chimodzi mwa magawo asanu ndi kuzipereka kwa munthu amene anamulakwirayo.
Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.
8 Ngati wolakwiridwayo alibe mʼbale komwe kungapite zinthu zobwezedwazo, zinthuzo zikhale za Yehova ndipo azipereke kwa wansembe, pamodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna ya nsembe yopepesera tchimo lake.
But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.
9 Zopereka zonse zopatulika zomwe Aisraeli abwera nazo kwa wansembe zikhale za wansembeyo.
And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.
10 Mphatso zilizonse zopatulika ndi za munthuyo, koma zomwe wapereka kwa wansembe ndi za wansembeyo.’”
And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.
11 Kenaka Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
12 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati mkazi wa munthu wina ayenda njira yosayenera nakhala wosakhulupirika kwa mwamuna wake,
Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him
13 nakagonana ndi mwamuna wina koma mwamuna wake wosadziwa, ndipo palibe wina aliyense wadziwa za kudzidetsa kwake (pakuti palibe mboni yomuneneza chifukwa sanagwidwe akuchita),
By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;
14 mwamuna wake ndi kuyamba kuchita nsanje ndi kukayikira mkazi wakeyo kuti ndi wodetsedwa, komanso ngati amuchitira nsanje ndi kumukayikira ngakhale asanadzidetse,
If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:
15 apite naye mkaziyo kwa wansembe. Ndipo popita atengenso gawo lakhumi la chopereka chaufa wa barele wokwana kilogalamu imodzi mʼmalo mwa mkaziyo. Asathire mafuta pa nsembeyo kapena lubani, chifukwa ndi nsembe ya chopereka ya chakudya yopereka chifukwa cha nsanje, nsembe yozindikiritsa tchimo.’”
Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.
16 “‘Wansembe abwere naye mkaziyo ndi kumuyimitsa pamaso pa Yehova.
And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;
17 Ndipo wansembeyo atenge madzi oyera mʼmbiya ya dothi ndi kuyika mʼmadzimo fumbi lapansi la mʼTenti ya Msonkhano.
And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;
18 Wansembe atayimika mkaziyo pamaso pa Yehova, amumasule tsitsi lake, ndipo ayike mʼmanja mwake nsembe yozindikiritsa tchimo, nsembe yachakudya ya nsanje, wansembeyo atanyamula madzi owawa omwe amabweretsa temberero.’
And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;
19 Kenaka wansembeyo alumbiritse mkaziyo ndi kuti, ‘Ngati mwamuna wina aliyense sanagonane ndi iwe ndipo sunayende njira yoyipa ndi kukhala wodetsedwa pomwe uli pa ukwati ndi mwamuna wako, madzi owawa awa omwe amabweretsa temberero asakupweteke.
And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;
20 Koma ngati wayenda njira yoyipa uli pa ukwati ndi mwamuna wako ndi kudzidetsa pogonana ndi mwamuna amene si mwamuna wako,’
But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:
21 pamenepo wansembe alumbiritse mkaziyo ndi mawu a matemberero ndi kumuwuza kuti, ‘Yehova achititse anthu ako kukutemberera ndi kukunyoza pamene awononga ntchafu yako ndi kutupitsa mimba yako.
Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;
22 Madzi awa obweretsa temberero alowe mʼthupi mwako ndi kutupitsa mimba yako ndi kuwononga ntchafu yako.’” “Pamenepo mkaziyo anene kuti, ‘Ameni, ameni.’”
And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.
23 “‘Wansembe alembe matemberero amenewa mʼbuku ndi kuwanyika mʼmadzi owawa aja.
And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;
24 Amwetse mkaziyo madzi owawawo omwe amabweretsa temberero, ndipo madzi amenewo adzalowa mʼmimba mwake ndi kuyambitsa ululu woopsa.
And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.
25 Wansembe achotse mʼmanja mwa mkaziyo nsembe yachakudya ya nsanje ija, nayiweyula pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuyipereka pa guwa lansembe.
And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;
26 Tsono wansembeyo atapeko ufa dzanja limodzi kuti ukhale wachikumbutso ndi kuwutentha pa guwa lansembe. Atatha izi, amwetse mkaziyo madzi aja.
And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.
27 Ndipo ngati mkaziyo anadzidetsadi ndi kukhala wosakhulupirika kwa mwamuna wake, pamene amwa madzi obweretsa matemberero aja, nalowa mʼmimba mwake, adzamva ululu woopsa. Mimba yake idzatupa ndi ntchafu yake idzawonongeka ndipo adzakhala wotembereredwa pakati pa anthu ake.
And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.
28 Koma ngati mkaziyo sanadzidetse ndi kuti alibe tchimo, adzakhala wopanda mlandu ndipo adzabereka ana.
But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.
29 “‘Limeneli ndiye lamulo la nsanje pamene mkazi wayenda njira yoyipa ndi kudzidetsa ali pa ukwati ndi mwamuna wake,
This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;
30 kapena pamene maganizo a nsanje abwera kwa mwamuna wake chifukwa chokayikira mkazi wakeyo. Wansembe azitenga mkazi wotere ndi kumuyimiritsa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo agwiritse ntchito lamulo lonseli kwa mkaziyo.
Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.
31 Mwamunayo adzakhala wopanda tchimo lililonse, koma mkaziyo adzasenza zotsatira za tchimo lake.’”
Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
