Nambar 5
1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
The Lord told Moses,
2 Ngansae man kami, kahoih thai ai takpum nathaih tawn kami hoi kaciim ai kadueh qok sui Israel kaminawk loe ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah suem ah;
“Order the Israelites to expel from the camp anyone who has a skin disease, or who has a discharge, or who is unclean from touching a dead body.
3 ka ohhaih ahmuen amhnongsak han ai ah, to baktih nathaih tawn kami loe nongpa maw, nongpata maw ohhaih im tasa bangah suem ah, tiah a naa.
Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
4 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah sak o; to baktih nathaih tawn kami loe ohhaih ahmuen tasa bangah a suek o.
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
The Lord told Moses,
6 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; kaminawk mah sak o ih zaehaih to nongpa mah maw, nongpata mah maw, Angraeng hmaa ah oep om ai ah sak o pazae pongah, to kami to zaehaih tawn nahaeloe,
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
7 to kaminawk mah sak o ih zaehaih to taphong han oh; a sakpazae o pongah, a sakpazae o ih kami khaeah ahmuen pangato thungah ahmuen maeto thap ueloe, rong pae boih tih.
and must confess their sin. They have to pay the full amount of compensation plus one fifth of its value, and give this to the person they have wronged.
8 Toe kami maeto mah a sakpazae ih hmuen pongah, rong ih hmuen talawkkung om ai nahaeloe, to rong ih hmuen to Angraeng ih hmuen ah suek moe, qaima khaeah paek han oh; to pacoengah anih zaehaih loih thai hanah angbawnhaih sak hanah tuu tae to paek han oh.
However, if that person doesn't have a relative who can be paid the compensation, it belongs to the Lord and shall be given to the priest, together with a sacrificial ram by which the guilty person is set right.
9 Israel kaminawk mah qaima han sin ih ciimcai hmuennawk boih loe anih ih hmuen ah om tih.
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 Kami boih mah kaciim ah sin ih hmuennawk loe, anih ih hmuen ah om tih; kami mah qaima han paek ih tangqumnawk doeh anih ih hmuen ah om tih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa.
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
The Lord told Moses,
12 Israel kaminawk han hae tiah lokthui paeh; kami maeto ih zu loe oep om ai pongah, loklam amkhraeng ving moe, a sava nuiah zaehaih a sak;
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
13 kami maeto mah to nongpata to iih haih, toe a sava khaeah thui ai ah angphat; to nongpata loe ciim ai boeh, toe anih hnukung om ai pongah, mi mah doeh a sak ih zaehaih to naeh thai ai,
by sleeping with someone else. It may be that her husband doesn't find out and her unclean act wasn't witnessed—she wasn't caught out.
14 toe sava mah a zu loe ciim ai boeh, tiah oep vawthaih to tawnh maw, to tih ai boeh loe a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih a tawnh, toe anih ih zu loe amhnonghaih tidoeh om ai to mah a sava mah anih nuiah palunghaenghaih tawn nahaeloe,
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
15 a sava mah a zu to qaima khaeah caeh haih ueloe, barli takaw dip ephah hato thungah maeto a zu ih zae angbawnhaih sak hanah sin tih; takaw dip nuiah situi bawh mak ai, a nuiah hmuihoih doeh thlaek mak ai; to baktih angbawnhaih loe zu nuiah palunghaeng pongah, sak ih angbawnhaih ah oh moe, zaehaih panoek hanah sak ih angbawnhaih ah doeh oh.
he is to take her before the priest. He is also to take with him on her behalf an offering of one tenth of an ephath of barley flour. He must also bring for her an offering of an ephah of barley flour. He's not to pour olive oil over it or put frankincense on it, since it's a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to remind people about sin.
16 Qaima mah to nongpata to caeh haih ueloe, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak tih;
The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
17 to naah qaima mah kaciim tui to long laom thungah lawn ueloe, anih mah kahni imthung ih maiphu to lak pacoengah, tui thungah phuih tih.
Then he shall fill a clay jar with holy water in a clay jar and sprinkle on it some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle.
18 Qaima mah nongpata to Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak ueloe, nongpata ih lu to khuk pae hmoek tih; nongpata nuiah palunghaeng pongah zaehaih panoek hanah sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to a ban ah pasumsak tih; qaima mah tangoenghaih kaomsak thaih tui kakhaa to a ban ah sin tih.
Once the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall let her hair loose and have her hold the reminder grain offering—the grain offering used in cases of jealousy. The priest shall hold the bitter water that curses.
19 Qaima mah nongpata to, Kaw baktih nongpa hoiah doeh na iip ai, oep om ai loklam ah doeh nam khraeng ai moe, na sava laep ah kalah nongpa hoiah takpum amhnonghaih to na sah ai nahaeloe, hae ih tangoenghaih kaomsak thaih tui kakhaa hae na nuiah pha hmah nasoe, tiah thui tih.
He shall place the woman under oath and tell her, ‘If no one else has slept with you and you have not been unfaithful and become unclean while married to your husband, may you not be harmed by this bitter water that curses.
20 Toe na sava nuiah oep thok ai ah na oh moe, kalah nongpa hoiah loklam nam khraeng ving; na sava nuiah kalah nongpa hoiah na iih moe, na takpum to amhnong boeh nahaeloe,
But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
21 qaima mah nang loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah, Angraeng mah na phaih to zaeksak ueloe, na zok doeh bawksak tih, to tiah nang loe tangoenghaih zok kami ah na om tih, tiah nongpata khaeah thuih pae pacoengah, nongpata to tangoenghaih lok akamsak tih;
(Here the priest shall place the woman under the oath of the curse as follows.) “May the Lord place a curse on you that everyone knows about by having your thighs shrink and your belly swell up.
22 tangoenghaih kaomsak hae tui kakhaa hae na zok thungah akun naah, na phaih to zaeksak ueloe, na zok doeh baawk tih, tiah thui pae tih. To naah nongpata mah, Amen, to tiah om nasoe, tiah thui tih.
May this water that curses go into your stomach and make your belly swell up and your thighs shrink.” The woman is to answer, “I agree, I agree.”
23 Hae tangoenghaih lok loe qaima mah cabu thungah tarik ueloe, kakhaa tui hoiah phrae let tih;
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
24 qaima mah tangoenghaih kaomsak kakhaa tui to nongpata hanah naesak tih; nongpata ih zok thungah tangoenghaih kaomsak tui kakhaa akun naah, paroeai khaa pae tih.
He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
25 To pacoengah qaima mah to nongpata ban ah sinsak ih palunghaeng pongah sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to la ueloe, Angraeng hmaa ah ahaek pacoengah, hmaicam nuiah suem tih.
The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
26 Qaima mah zaehaih panoek han sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to ban tangsum maeto la ueloe, hmaicam nuiah hmai hoiah thlaek tih; to pacoengah to tui to nongpata hanah naesak tih.
Then the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as a reminder portion and burn it on the altar, and make the woman drink the water.
27 To nongpata mah angmah ih sava nuiah zaehaih to sah moe, ciim ai boeh nahaeloe, tangoenghaih lokkam ih baktih toengah omsakkung tui kakhaa to naek naah, zok thungah tui to paroeai khaa tih; to naah a phaih to zaek ueloe, a zok doeh baawk tih; to naah to nongpata loe angmah ih kaminawk salakah tangoenghaih zok kami ah om tih.
After he has made her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and has been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that curses will cause her bitter pain. Her belly will swell up and her thighs will shrink. She will become a cursed woman among her people.
28 Toe nongpata loe ciimcai moe, amhnonghaih tidoeh om ai nahaeloe, anih loe zaehaih tawn ai pongah, caa sah let tih.
But if the woman has not made herself unclean by being unfaithful and is clean, she will not experience this punishment and she will still be able to have children.
29 Hae loe zu mah oep kaom ai ah, kalah nongpa hoi loklam amkhraeng ving moe, sava nuiah ciimcai ai ah khosak naah maw, palunghaenghaih tawnh naah maw,
This is the rule to follow in cases of jealousy when a wife has an affair and makes herself unclean while married to her husband,
30 to tih ai boeh loe nongpa mah a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih tawnh naah maw, patoh ih kaalok ah oh; sava mah a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih tawnh naah, qaima mah nongpata to Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak ueloe, hae ih kaalok baktih toengah nongpata to lokcaek tih.
or when a husband starts feeling jealous and becomes suspicious of his wife. He shall have his wife stand before the Lord, and the priest is to carry out every part of this rule.
31 To tiah sava loe zaehaih ciim ueloe, nongpata loe a zaehaih pongah danpaekhaih to zok tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
