Lampahnah 5
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Israel ca te uen lamtah aka pahuk boeih neh aka hnai boeih khaw, hinglu aka rhalawt boeih te rhaehhmuen lamloh tueih uh.
“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 Tongpa lamloh huta hil rhaehhmuen kah vongvoel la tueih. Amih khui ah ka om te amih na tueih uh daengah ni a rhaehhmuen a poeih uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
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 Israel ca rhoek loh a ngai tangloeng tih amih te rhaehhmuen kah a voel la a tueih uh. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii tangloeng uh.
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
6 “Isreal ca rhoek te tongpa khaw huta khaw thui pah. BOEIPA taengah boekoeknah la boekoek ham hlang kah tholhnah cungkuem a saii uh dongah a hinglu te boe coeng.
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
7 Te dongah tholhnah a saii uh te phoe uh saeh lamtah a hmaithennah te a lu taengah mael saeh. Te phoeiah te te a panga neh koei saeh lamtah anih aka boe sak taengah pae saeh.
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 Tedae aka tlan ham hlang neh a taengah hmaithennah a sah ham a om pawt atah, hmaithennah te BOEIPA taengah khosoih ham pae saeh. Te vaengah anih ham dawthnah tutal bueng neh dawth pah saeh.
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 ca rhoek kah a cim boeih lamloh khocang cungkuem khaw khosoih taengla khuen saeh lamtah anih ham om saeh.
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 Hlang he amah, amah ah hnocim rhip a khueh te khosoih taengah pae saeh lamtah anih ham om pah saeh,” a ti nah.
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
12 “Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah lamtah amih te, 'Hlang pakhat kah a yuu te taengphael tih a taengah boekoeknah la boe a koek,
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
13 anih te tongpa loh yangtui kah a khaan neh a yalh puei atah a va mikhmuh lamloh hlipdah uh tih thuh uh cakhaw amah poeih uh coeng. Tedae anih taengah laipai om pawt tih anih tu pawh,
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 Anih soah thatlainah mueihla a pha akhaw, a yuu taengah a thatlai akhaw, huta te poeih uh tih tongpa soah thatlainah mueihla a caeh khaw, a yuu taengah thatlai dae a yuu a poeih uh pawt akhaw,
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
15 tongpa loh a yuu te khosoih taengla khuen saeh lamtah anih ham a nawnnah te cangtun vaidam cangnoek parha khuen saeh. Tekah kah thatlainah kah khocang dongah a soah situi khaw bueih boel saeh lamtah hmueihtui khaw a soah khueh boel saeh. Poekkoepnah khocang lothaesainah te thoelh saeh.
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 Te phoeiah anih te khosoih loh khuen saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai sak saeh.
The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
17 Te vaengah khosoih loh lai am dongah tui cim khuen saeh. Dungtlungim cirhong ah aka om laipi te khaw khosoih loh lo saeh lamtah tui khuiah sang saeh.
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 Te phoeiah khosoih loh huta te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai sak saeh lamtah huta lu te lim pah saeh. Thatlainah khocang dongkah poekkoepnah khocang neh khosoih kut ah aka om tih thae a phoei thil khahing tui te a kut ah pae saeh.
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 Anih te khosoih loh toemngam saeh lamtah huta te, “Nang taengah hlang yalh pawt tih na va hmuiah a tihnai neh na taengphael pawt atah he kah thae a phoei thil khahing tui loh m'hmil saeh.
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 Tedae nang te na va hmui lamloh na taengphael tih na poeih uh vaengah hlang loh nang te na va a om pawt ah a tamtah te a khueh khaming,’ ti nah saeh.
But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
21 Te vaengah khosoih loh huta te thaephoeinah olhlo neh toemngam saeh. Khosoih loh huta te, “BOEIPA loh nang te na pilnam khui kah thaephoeinah neh olhlo bangla n'khueh saeh. BOEIPA loh n'saii vaengah na phai pim saeh lamtah na bung khaw thung saeh.
(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 Thaephoei tui he na ko khuila kun saeh lamtah na bung thung saeh, na phai pim saeh,’ ti nah saeh. Te vaengah huta loh, “Amen, Amen,” ti saeh.
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 He kah thaephoeinah he khosoih loh cabu khuiah daek saeh lamtah khahing tui neh huih saeh.
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
24 Thaephoei khahing tui te huta tul saeh lamtah thaephoei tui te a khuiah khahing la kun saeh.
He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
25 Te vaengah khosoih loh huta kut lamkah thatlainah khocang te lo saeh. Tedae khocang te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng saeh lamtah hmueihtuk la khuen saeh.
The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
26 Te phoeiah khosoih loh kamhoeinah khocang te paco saeh lamtah hmueihtuk ah a phum phoeiah a hnuk la huta te tui tul saeh.
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 Anih te poeih uh tih a va taengah boekoeknah neh boekoek la a om atah tui a tul tih a khuila thaephoei tui a kun vaengah khahing ni. Te vaengah a bung thung vetih a phai pim ni. Huta te a pilnam khui ah thaephoeinah la om ni.
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 Tedae huta te poeih uh pawt tih a cim atah anih te a hmil vetih tiingan a yom ni.
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 He tah Huta loh a va hman ah na taengphael tih a poeih uh vaengkah ham thatlainah olkhueng ni.
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 Tongpa khaw a soah thatlainah mueihla loh a pah tih a yuu taengah a thatlai akhaw a yuu te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai sak saeh. Te vaengah hekah olkhueng cungkuem he khosoih loh anih taengah saii pah saeh.
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 Tongpa te thaesainah lamloh hmil cakhaw huta tah amah kathaesainah te phuei saeh,” a ti nah.
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
