Numbers 5
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the dead:
“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 Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you.
Hii itakuwa ni kwa wote, yaani, wanaume na wanawake; watoeni nje ya kambi ili wasije wakanajisi kambi yao, ambamo ninaishi miongoni mwao.”
4 And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Waisraeli wakafanya hivyo; wakawatoa nje ya kambi. Wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amemwelekeza Mose.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
6 Say to the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and offended,
“Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Wakati mwanaume au mwanamke akimkosea mwenzake kwa njia yoyote, na kwa hivyo akawa si mwaminifu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ana hatia,
7 They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
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 there be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s, besides the ram that is offered for expiation, to be an atoning sacrifice.
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 All the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
Matoleo yote matakatifu ya Waisraeli wanayoleta kwa kuhani yatakuwa yake.
10 And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
Kila kitu cha mtu kilichowekwa wakfu ni chake mwenyewe, lakini kile atoacho kwa kuhani kitakuwa cha kuhani.’”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
12 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband,
“Nena na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mke wa mtu amepotoka na si mwaminifu kwa mumewe,
13 Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery:
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 If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion,
nazo hisia za wivu zikamjia mumewe na kumshuku mkewe, naye mke yule ni najisi, au mumewe ana wivu na akamshuku ingawa si najisi,
15 He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frankincense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery.
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 therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord.
“‘Kuhani atamleta huyo mwanamke na kumsimamisha mbele za Bwana.
17 And he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya maji matakatifu ndani ya gudulia la udongo na kuchanganya na baadhi ya vumbi kutoka sakafu ya Maskani.
18 And when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration.
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 shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband’s bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee.
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 thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
Lakini ikiwa umepotoka wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mume wako na umejinajisi mwenyewe kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine asiyekuwa mumeo”;
21 These curses shall light upon thee: The Lord make thee a curse, and an example for all among his people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder.
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 Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, 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 in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses,
“‘Kuhani ataandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, kisha atazioshea laana hizo kwenye yale maji machungu.
24 And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up,
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 sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first,
Kuhani atachukua sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu kutoka mikononi mwa huyo mwanamke, naye ataipunga mbele za Bwana na kuileta madhabahuni.
26 To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink.
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 And when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the 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 she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children.
Hata hivyo, ikiwa huyo mwanamke hakujitia unajisi, naye ni safi, atasafishwa hatia na ataweza kuzaa watoto.
29 This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled,
“‘Basi, hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu mwanamke anapopotoka na kujitia unajisi akiwa ameolewa na mumewe,
30 And the husband stirred up by the spirit of jealousy bring her before the Lord, and the priest do to her according to all things that are here written:
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 shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.
Mume atakuwa hana hatia ya kosa lolote, bali mwanamke atayachukua matokeo ya dhambi yake.’”
