Numbers 5
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 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;
“Ɖe gbe na Israelviwo be woaɖe ame siwo katã nye anyidzelawo kple ame siwo katã ŋu tsi ƒomevi aɖe le dodom le kple ame siwo katã gblẽ kɔ ɖo le ame kuku aɖe ta la ɖa le asaɖa la me.
3 Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.
Woawɔ ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa nenema. Miɖe wo ɖa ale be womagblẽ kɔ ɖo na asaɖa la, afi si mele le mia dome la o.”
4 So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.
Ale Israelviwo wɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi eye woɖe ame siawo katã ɖa le asaɖa la me.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 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;
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be: ‘Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu da vo ɖe ame aɖe ŋu le mɔ aɖe nu eye wòto nu ma me meɖi anukware na Yehowa o la, ame ma ɖi fɔ.
7 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.
Ele be wòaʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me eye wòaxe fe ɖe nu vɔ̃ si wòwɔ la ta. Gawu la, agbugbɔ nu la na nutɔ eye wòagatsɔ nu la ƒe home akpa atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpee na nutɔ la.
8 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.
Ke ne ame si ŋu wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖo la ku eye eƒe ƒometɔ gobii aɖeke meli wòaxe fea na o la, ekema axee na Yehowa to nunɔla dzi eye wòagana alẽ ɖeka hena avuléle.
9 And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.
Nu kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe si Israelviwo atsɔ vɛ na nunɔla aɖe la, anye nunɔlaa tɔ.
10 And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.
Ame sia ame ƒe nu kɔkɔewo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, ke esi wòatsɔ na nunɔla la, anye nunɔla la tɔ.’”
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ tra mɔ, meɖi anukware nɛ o,
13 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;
eye ŋutsu bubu de asi eŋu, nu sia le ɣaɣla ɖe srɔ̃a, eye womenya be egblẽ kɔ ɖo o (elabena ɖasefo aɖeke meli ɖe eŋu o, eye womelée asiasi o),
14 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:
ne ŋutsu la le ŋu ʋãm, eye wòbu be ye srɔ̃ gblẽ kɔ ɖo, alo ne eʋã ŋu togbɔ be srɔ̃a megblẽ kɔ ɖo o hã la,
15 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.
ele be ŋutsu la nakplɔ srɔ̃a ayi nunɔla gbɔ. Nu si wòana nunɔla ɖe srɔ̃a tae nye luwɔ lita ɖeka. Womakɔ ami kple dzudzɔdonu ɖe edzi o, elabena enye nuɖuvɔsa ɖe ŋuʋaʋã ta kple ŋkuɖodzivɔsa si ahe woƒe susu ayi ɖe fɔɖiɖi gbɔe.
16 And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;
“‘Nunɔla la akplɔ nyɔnu la ayi Yehowa ŋkume,
17 And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;
aku tsi kɔkɔe ɖe anyikplu aɖe me, eye wòaku agbadɔ la me ke akɔ ɖe tsi la me.
18 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;
Ne nunɔla la na nyɔnu la tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume vɔ la, akaka ɖa ɖe ta na nyɔnu la, atsɔ ŋkuɖodzivɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsa na ŋuʋaʋã ade nyɔnu la ƒe asi me. Ke nunɔla la ŋutɔ alé tsi veve si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la ɖe asi.
19 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;
Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la naka atam, eye wòagblɔ nɛ be, “Ne ŋutsu bubu aɖeke medɔ kpli wò o, ne mèda afɔ, hegblẽ kɔ ɖo na ɖokuiwò esi nèle atsuƒe na srɔ̃wò o la, ekema tsi veve sia, si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, megagblẽ nu le ŋutiwò o.
20 But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:
Ke ne èda afɔ esime nèle srɔ̃wò gbɔ, nègblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye ŋutsu bubu, ame si menye srɔ̃wò o la de asi ŋuwò la,”
21 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;
ekema nunɔla la aka atam agblɔ fiƒodenyawo na nyɔnu la be, “Yehowa nana wò amewo naƒo fi ade wò, eye woagbe nu le gbɔwò; nena be wò ataŋuyi naflo ɖa, eye ƒo nadzi ɖe nuwò.
22 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.
Tsi sia si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la nage ɖe lãme na wò ale be wò ƒodo nate ɖe nuwò, eye wò ataŋuyi naflo ɖa.” “‘Ekema nyɔnu la axɔ ɖe edzi be, “Amen, neva eme nenema.”
23 And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;
“‘Ekema nunɔla la aŋlɔ fiƒode siawo ɖe agbalẽ me, eye wòakpala nuŋɔŋlɔ la ɖe tsi veve la me.
24 And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.
Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la nano tsi veve si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, tsi sia age ɖe eƒe lãme, eye wòana fukpekpe kple vevesese nava eya amea dzi.
25 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;
Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la axɔ nuɖuvɔsa na ŋuʋaʋã le nyɔnu la si, anyee le yame le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòatsɔe ada ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
26 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.
Nunɔla la aku nuɖuvɔsa la ƒe asiʋlo ɖeka abe ŋkuɖodzivɔsa ene, eye wòatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Azɔ la, ana nyɔnu la nano tsi la.
27 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.
Ne nyɔnu la gblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye meto nyateƒe na srɔ̃a o, evɔ wona wòno tsi si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, tsi la age ɖe eƒe lãme, eye wòase veve vevie. Eƒe ƒodo adzi ɖe enu, eƒe ataŋulã aflo ɖa, eye wòazu ɖiŋudonu le eƒe amewo dome.
28 But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.
Ke ne nyɔnu la megblẽ kɔ ɖo o, eye wòdza la, woatso afia nɛ, eye wòagate ŋu adzi vi.
29 This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;
“‘Esiae nye ŋuʋaʋãŋutise ne nyɔnu aɖe da afɔ, eye wògblẽ kɔ ɖo, esi wòle atsuƒe,
30 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.
alo ne ŋuʋaʋã xɔ ŋutsu aɖe me, elabena ebu nazã ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu. Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la natsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòawɔ se sia katã me dɔ na nyɔnu la.
31 Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
Womaɖe agɔdzedze aɖeke na srɔ̃ŋutsu la o, gake nu vɔ̃ yomedzenu anɔ nyɔnu la dzi.’”
