Numbers 5
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone with a skin disease, anyone who has a bodily discharge, and anyone who is defiled by a dead body.
“Waamuru Waisraeli kumtoa nje ya kambi mtu yeyote ambaye ana ugonjwa wa ngozi uambukizao, au anayetokwa na majimaji ya aina yoyote, au ambaye ni najisi kwa utaratibu wa ibada kwa sababu ya maiti.
3 You must send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.”
Hii itakuwa ni kwa wote, yaani, wanaume na wanawake; watoeni nje ya kambi ili wasije wakanajisi kambi yao, ambamo ninaishi miongoni mwao.”
4 So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.
Waisraeli wakafanya hivyo; wakawatoa nje ya kambi. Wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amemwelekeza Mose.
5 And the LORD said to Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
6 “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by committing any sin against another, that person is guilty
“Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Wakati mwanaume au mwanamke akimkosea mwenzake kwa njia yoyote, na kwa hivyo akawa si mwaminifu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ana hatia,
7 and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution, add a fifth to its value, and give all this to the one he has wronged.
na ni lazima atubu dhambi aliyoifanya. Ni lazima atoe malipo kamili kwa ajili ya kosa lake, aongeze sehemu ya tano juu ya malipo hayo na kutoa yote kwa mtu aliyemkosea.
8 But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.
Lakini ikiwa mtu huyo hana jamaa ya karibu ambaye malipo yanaweza kufanywa kwa ajili ya kosa, malipo yatakuwa mali ya Bwana, nayo ni lazima apewe kuhani, pamoja na kondoo dume ambaye anatumika kufanyia upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
9 Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
Matoleo yote matakatifu ya Waisraeli wanayoleta kwa kuhani yatakuwa yake.
10 Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
Kila kitu cha mtu kilichowekwa wakfu ni chake mwenyewe, lakini kile atoacho kwa kuhani kitakuwa cha kuhani.’”
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
12 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him
“Nena na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mke wa mtu amepotoka na si mwaminifu kwa mumewe,
13 by sleeping with another man, and it is concealed from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she was not caught in the act),
kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine, tendo hili likafichika kwa mumewe na unajisi wake usigundulike (kwa kuwa hakuna ushahidi dhidi yake, naye hakukamatwa katika tendo hilo),
14 and if a feeling of jealousy comes over her husband and he suspects his wife who has defiled herself—or if a feeling of jealousy comes over him and he suspects her even though she has not defiled herself—
nazo hisia za wivu zikamjia mumewe na kumshuku mkewe, naye mke yule ni najisi, au mumewe ana wivu na akamshuku ingawa si najisi,
15 then he is to bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring for her an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil over it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, an offering of memorial as a reminder of iniquity.
basi atampeleka mkewe kwa kuhani. Huyo mume itampasa apeleke pia sadaka ya unga wa shayiri kiasi cha sehemu ya kumi ya efa kwa niaba ya mkewe. Huyo mwanaume kamwe asimimine mafuta juu ya huo unga wala asiweke uvumba juu yake, kwa sababu ni sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu, sadaka ya ukumbusho ili kukumbushia uovu.
16 The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.
“‘Kuhani atamleta huyo mwanamke na kumsimamisha mbele za Bwana.
17 Then he is to take some holy water in a clay jar and put some of the dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.
Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya maji matakatifu ndani ya gudulia la udongo na kuchanganya na baadhi ya vumbi kutoka sakafu ya Maskani.
18 After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.
Baada ya kuhani kumsimamisha huyo mwanamke mbele za Bwana, atazifungua nywele za huyo mwanamke na kuweka sadaka ya ukumbusho mikononi mwake, ile sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu, huku kuhani mwenyewe akishikilia yale maji machungu yaletayo laana.
19 And he is to put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune to this bitter water that brings a curse.
Kisha kuhani atamwapiza huyo mwanamke, akimwambia, “Ikiwa hakuna mwanaume mwingine aliyekutana kimwili nawe, wala hujapotoka na kuwa najisi wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mumeo, maji haya machungu yaletayo laana na yasikudhuru.
20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and have defiled yourself and lain carnally with a man other than your husband’—
Lakini ikiwa umepotoka wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mume wako na umejinajisi mwenyewe kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine asiyekuwa mumeo”;
21 and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.
hapa kuhani atamweka huyo mwanamke chini ya laana ya kiapo akisema: “Bwana na awafanye watu wako wakulaani na kukukataa, wakati Bwana atakapolifanya paja lako kupooza na tumbo lako kuvimba.
22 May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
Maji haya yaletayo laana na yaingie ndani ya mwili wako ili tumbo lako livimbe na paja lako lipooze.” “‘Kisha mwanamke atasema, “Amen. Iwe hivyo.”
23 And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
“‘Kuhani ataandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, kisha atazioshea laana hizo kwenye yale maji machungu.
24 He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and cause her bitter suffering.
Kuhani atamnywesha yule mwanamke yale maji machungu yaletayo laana, nayo maji haya yatamwingia na kumsababishia maumivu makali.
25 The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
Kuhani atachukua sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu kutoka mikononi mwa huyo mwanamke, naye ataipunga mbele za Bwana na kuileta madhabahuni.
26 Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.
Kisha kuhani atachota sadaka ya nafaka mkono uliojaa kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu, baada ya hayo, atamtaka huyo mwanamke anywe yale maji.
27 When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.
Kama amejitia unajisi na kukosa uaminifu kwa mumewe, wakati anapotakiwa anywe maji yale yaletayo laana, yatamwingia na kusababisha maumivu makali; tumbo lake litavimba na paja lake litapooza, naye atakuwa amelaaniwa miongoni mwa watu wake.
28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.
Hata hivyo, ikiwa huyo mwanamke hakujitia unajisi, naye ni safi, atasafishwa hatia na ataweza kuzaa watoto.
29 This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,
“‘Basi, hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu mwanamke anapopotoka na kujitia unajisi akiwa ameolewa na mumewe,
30 or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.
au hisia za wivu zinapomjia mwanaume kwa sababu ya kumshuku mkewe. Kuhani atamfanya huyo mwanamke kusimama mbele za Bwana na atatumia sheria hii yote kwa huyo mwanamke.
31 The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”
Mume atakuwa hana hatia ya kosa lolote, bali mwanamke atayachukua matokeo ya dhambi yake.’”
