< Numbers 5 >

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by a dead person:
“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 both male and female shall ye put out; outside the camp shall ye put them, that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
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 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Ale Israelviwo wɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi eye woɖe ame siawo katã ɖa le asaɖa la me.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,
“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 then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
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 And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an atonement is made for him.
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 heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.
Nu kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe si Israelviwo atsɔ vɛ na nunɔla aɖe la, anye nunɔlaa tɔ.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his.
Ame sia ame ƒe nu kɔkɔewo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, ke esi wòatsɔ na nunɔla la, anye nunɔla la tɔ.’”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him,
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ tra mɔ, meɖi anukware nɛ o,
13 and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be no witness against her, and she have not been caught;
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 and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled, — or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled,
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 shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
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 shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah.
“‘Nunɔla la akplɔ nyɔnu la ayi Yehowa ŋkume,
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.
aku tsi kɔkɔe ɖe anyikplu aɖe me, eye wòaku agbadɔ la me ke akɔ ɖe tsi la me.
18 And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth 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 the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be free from this bitter water that bringeth 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 thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy husband have lain with thee,
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 shall adjure the woman with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell;
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 that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
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 shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out 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 shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may enter into her for bitterness.
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 shall take out of the woman's hand the oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before Jehovah, and shall present it at 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 the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he shall make the woman drink the 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 when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the woman shall become 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 the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.
Ke ne nyɔnu la megblẽ kɔ ɖo o, eye wòdza la, woatso afia nɛ, eye wòagate ŋu adzi vi.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled,
“‘Esiae nye ŋuʋaʋãŋutise ne nyɔnu aɖe da afɔ, eye wògblẽ kɔ ɖo, esi wòle atsuƒe,
30 or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all 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 shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her iniquity.
Womaɖe agɔdzedze aɖeke na srɔ̃ŋutsu la o, gake nu vɔ̃ yomedzenu anɔ nyɔnu la dzi.’”
