Kwan 5
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Mi jo-Israel chik mondo oriemb ngʼato angʼata man-gi tuo mar del kata man-gi tuo magolo tutu kata ngʼat ma ok ler nikech osemulo ringre ngʼama otho.
“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 Riemb chwo kod mon duto mondo giwuok oko mar kambi; kik ginjaw kambi nikech adak e diergi.”
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 Jo-Israel notimo kamano; mine giriembogi oko mar kambi. Negitimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The Lord told Moses,
6 “Wachne jo-Israel kama: ‘Ka dichwo kata dhako okwinyo wadgi e yo moro amora kendo obedo ngʼama ok ja-ratiro ne Jehova Nyasaye, ngʼatno oketho
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
7 kendo nyaka ohul richo mosetimono. Nyaka ochiw chudo duto mar kethone, omed achiel kuom abich ewi chudono bangʼe ochiwe duto ne ngʼat mosekethone.
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 Ka ngʼat ma okethneno onge gi watne moro amora ma inyalo mi chudono, to chudono en mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka chiwe ne jadolo, ka itere gi im ma ikwayonego pwodhruok kuom richo.
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 Chiwo duto mowal ma jo-Israel kelo gin mek jadolo.
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 Chiwo mowal mar ngʼato ka ngʼato en mare owuon, ka osechiwe ne jadolo nobed mar jadolo.’”
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The Lord told Moses,
12 “Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi kama: ‘Ka chi ngʼato ok obedo ja-adiera kendo ok obedo ja-ratiro
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
13 mi oterore gi dichwo moro, kendo timni opandore ne chwore ma ok ongʼere (nikech onge janeno mane onene kendo ne ok omake randoo),
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 kendo ka nyiego omako chwor dhakono mi ochich kode, to chiegeno ochido, kata kapo ni nyiego omake kode kendo ochich kode kata obedo ni ok ochido,
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
15 to chworeno nyaka tere ir jadolo bed ni dhakono osedwanyore adier kata chwore chich mana kode kayiem. Bende nyaka oter chiwo mar achiel kuom apar mar efa mar mogo mar shairi e lo jaode. Ok onego ool mo kuome kata keto gima dungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar kuome, nikech en chiwo mar cham mar ketho chich, tiende ni en chiwo mifwenyogo adiera.
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 “‘Jadolo nokel dhakono mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
17 Eka notuom pi maler e agulu kendo nojow buru moa e dier kama ler mar lemo mi okwo e pigno.
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 Bangʼ ka jadolo osekelo dhakono mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, enogony yie wiye eka noket chiwo mifwenyogo adiera e lwete ma en chiwo mar cham mitiekogo chich. Jadolo to notingʼ pi mar muma mifwenyogo adiera e lwete owuon.
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 Eka jadolo noket dhakono kwongʼre kowacho niya, “Kaonge dichwo moseterore kodi kendo pod ok ibedo ja-adiera mibedo modwanyore kendo weyo yo ma ibedo mogak ka ingʼeyo ni in dhako man kod chwore, to mad pi makechni makelo kwongʼ kik hinyi.
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 To ka en adier ni isedwanyori, mi ngʼato oterore kodi, kingʼeyo ni in chi ngʼato,”
But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
21 to jadolo nokwongʼ dhakono niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo omi iyi ogore piny, kata omi ibwog nyathi ka kindene mar nywol pok ochopo, kibedogo ranyisi ne jou kuom wach kwongʼruok.
(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 Mad pigni donj e iyi kendo omi iyi kirre kata omi ibwog nyathi ka kinde mar nywolne pok ochopo.” “‘Bangʼe dhakono nodwok kawacho niya, “Amin. Mad obed kamano.”
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 “‘Nyaka jadolo ndik kwongʼ-gi e Kitabu bangʼe olingʼ-gi ei pi makechno.
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
24 Enoket dhakono mondo omodh pi makech makelo kwongʼ, kendo pigni nodonj e iye mi kelne sand mager.
He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
25 Jadolo nokaw chiwo mar cham mar golo chich koa e lwet dhakono, mi nofwaye e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo okele e kendo mar misango.
The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
26 Eka jadolo nojuk chiwo mar cham mopongʼo lwete kaka chiwo mar rapar kendo nowangʼe ewi kendo mar misango; bangʼ mano, noket dhakono omodh pigno.
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 Ka dipo ni osedwanyore en owuon kendo ok osebedo ja-ratiro ne chwore, to nokete omodh pigno makelo kwongʼ, kendo ma nomi obed gi sand mager; ma mi obwog nyathi ka ndalone pok ochopo kendo ngʼama okwongʼ e kind ogandane.
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 To ka dipo ni dhakono ok odwanyore kendo ok ochido, nokete thuolo mi ochak onywol nyithindo kendo.
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 “‘Ma e chik mar tieko chich ka dhako ok ja-adiera kendo odwanyore, kongʼeyo ni pod en dhako man-gi chwore,
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 kata ka gimoro otimore ma chwore ochich kode. Jadolo nokete ochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka oket chikni ne dhakoni.
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 Dichwo nobed maonge ketho moro amora, to dhakono ibiro kum ne richo mage.’”
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
