< Numbers 5 >
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
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:
“Waamuru wana wa Israel wawatoe watu wote wenye magonjwa ya ngozi yanayoambukiza, na kila mwenye mwenye vidonda vinavyotoa harufu, na ambaye amenajisika kwa kugusa maiti.
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.
Awe mme au mke, umtoa kambini. Ili wasije wakaitia unajisi kambi, kwa sababu Mimi huishi ndani yake,”
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.
Watu wa Israeli walifanya hivyo. Waliwatoa kambini, Kama BWANA alivyomwagiza Musa. Watu wa Israeli walimtii BWANA.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
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,
“Nena na wana wa Israeli. mtu mume na mtu mke akifanya dhambi yeyote ambayo watu hufanyiana wao kwa wao, na mtu huyo akamwasi BWANA, mtu huyo atakuwa na hatia.
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.
Ndipo huyo mtu ataungama hiyo dhambi aliyoifanya. Mtu huyo atarudisha malipo ya hatia yake na kuongeza kwenye malipo hayo sehemu ya tano zaidi. Atamlipa huyo aliyemtendea makosa
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.
Lakini kama huyo mtu huyu aliyetendewa kosa hana ndugu wa kupokea hayo malipo, basi atalipa hayo malipo ya hatia kwangu kupitia kuhani pamoja na kondoo dume kwa ajili ya sadaka yake mwenyewe.
9 And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.
Kila sadaka ya wana wa Israeli, vitu ambavyo vimetengwa na vikaletwa kwa kuhani na watu wa Israeli, vitakuwa vyake.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his.
Sadaka ya kila mtu itakuwa ya kuhani; kama mtu yeyote atatoa kitu chochote kwa kuhani, kitakuwa chake.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him,
“Nena na wana wa Israel. Uwaambie, 'kama mke wa mtu ataasi na kufanya dhambi dhidi ya mume wake.
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;
Halafu mtu mwingine akalala naye. Kwa sababu, hiyo atakuwa amenajisika. Na hata kama mume wake hakuona na hajui, hata kama hakuna mtu aliyemkamta akiwa katika tendo na hakuna mtu wa kushuhudia dhidi yake; hata hivyo ile roho ya wivu itaendele kumjulisha yule mume kuwa mke wake amenajisika.
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,
Ingawa, roho ya wivu inaweza kumdanganya yule mwanamume wakati mke wake hajanajisika.
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.
Kwa mazingira hayo, yule mwanamume anapaswa kumpeleka mke wake kwa kuhani. Yule mwanamume anapaswa kutoa sadaka ya divai kwa ajili yake. Atapaswa kuleta sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga wa shayiri. Asitie mafuta juu yake wala asitie ubani juu yake maana ni sadaka ya unga ya wivu, ni sadaka ya unga ya ukumbusho wa uovu.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah.
Ndipo kuhani atasogeza karibu na kumweka mbele ya BWANA.
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.
Kuhani atachukua kikombe cha maji matakatifu na atachukua mavumbi ya kwenye masikani. Ataweka yale mavumbi kwenye maji.
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.
Kisha kuhani atamweka huyo mwanamke mbele za BWANA na atazifungua nywele kichwani kwa huyo mwanamke. Atamwekea mikononi mwake hiyo sadaka ya unga kwa ajili ya ukumbusho, ambayo ni sadaka ya unga kwa ajili ya wivu.
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.
Kuhani atashikilia mikononi mwake maji machungu yanayoweza kuleta laana. Kuhani atamweka huyo mwanamke chini ya kiapo na kumwambia. 'Kama haujafanya uzinzi na mwanaume mwingine, na kama hajakengeuka na kufanya uovu, basi utakuwa huru na maji haya yanayoweza kuleta laana.
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,
Lakini kama wewe, mwanamke uliye chini ya mume wako, umekengeuka, na kama umenajisika, na kama mwanamume mwingina amelala nawe,
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;
ndipo, (kuhani atamtaka huyo mwanamke aape kiapo kinachoweza kuleta laana kwake, na kwamba ataendelea kumwambia yule mwanamke) 'BWANA atakufanya wewe kuwa laana itakayooneshwa kuwa hivyo kwa watu wako. Hii itatokea pale BWANA atakapoyafanya mapaja yako kuoza na tumbo lako kuvimba.
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.
Haya maji ambayo huleta laana yataingia tumboni mwako na kulifanya tumbo lako kuvimba na mapaja yako kuoza,' mwanamke alitakiwa kujibu, 'Ndiyo, hayo yanipate kama mimi ni mwenye hatia.'
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
Naye kuhani ataziandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, na kisha kuzifuta laana zilizoandikwa kwa maji ya uchungu.
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.
Naye kuhani atamwelekeza yule mwanamke kunywa yale maji machungu yaletayo laana. Yale maji yaletayo laana yataingia na kuwa machungu.
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.
Kuhani ataitwaa ile sadaka ya unga ya wivu mikononi mwa yule mwanamke. Atailekeza ile sadaka ya unga mbele ya BWANA na kuileta madhabahuni.
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.
Kuhani atachukua konzi ya sadaka ya unga mkononi mwake kama sadaka ya kuwakilisha, na kuiteketeza madhabahuni. Ndipo atakapompatia mwanamke yale maji machungu ili ayanywe.
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.
Wakati wa kumpa yale maji ili anywe, kama amenajisika kwa sababu alifanya uovu dhidi ya mume wake, ndipo yale maji yaletayo laana yatamwingia na kuwa machungu. Tumbo lake litavimba na paja lake litaoza. Yule mwanamke atalaaniwa kati ya watu wake.
28 But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.
Lakini kama yule mwanake hajanajisika na kama ni msafi, basi atakuwa huru. Tena ataweza kubeba uja uzito.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled,
Hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu. Ni sheria ya mwanamke anayekengeuka kwa mumewe na kunajisika.
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.
Ni sheria ya mwanamume mwenye roho ya wivu kwa mkewe. Atamleta mwanamke mbele ya BWANA, na kuhani atamfanyia huyo mwanamke kila kitu ambacho sheria ya wivu inamtaka kufanya.
31 Then shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her iniquity.
Yule mwanamume atakuwa hana hatia kwa kumleta mke wake kwa kuhani. Na yule mwanmke atauchukua uovu wake.”
