Numbers 5
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
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 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 Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you.
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 they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Watu wa Israeli walifanya hivyo. Waliwatoa kambini, Kama BWANA alivyomwagiza Musa. Watu wa Israeli walimtii BWANA.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
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,
“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 They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
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 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 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 All the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
Kila sadaka ya wana wa Israeli, vitu ambavyo vimetengwa na vikaletwa kwa kuhani na watu wa Israeli, vitakuwa vyake.
10 And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
Sadaka ya kila mtu itakuwa ya kuhani; kama mtu yeyote atatoa kitu chochote kwa kuhani, kitakuwa chake.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
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 wana wa Israel. Uwaambie, 'kama mke wa mtu ataasi na kufanya dhambi dhidi ya mume wake.
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:
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 If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion,
Ingawa, roho ya wivu inaweza kumdanganya yule mwanamume wakati mke wake hajanajisika.
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.
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 The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord.
Ndipo kuhani atasogeza karibu na kumweka mbele ya 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.
Kuhani atachukua kikombe cha maji matakatifu na atachukua mavumbi ya kwenye masikani. Ataweka yale mavumbi kwenye maji.
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.
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 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.
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 aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
Lakini kama wewe, mwanamke uliye chini ya mume wako, umekengeuka, na kama umenajisika, na kama mwanamume mwingina amelala nawe,
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.
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 Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, 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 wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses,
Naye kuhani ataziandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, na kisha kuzifuta laana zilizoandikwa kwa maji ya uchungu.
24 And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up,
Naye kuhani atamwelekeza yule mwanamke kunywa yale maji machungu yaletayo laana. Yale maji yaletayo laana yataingia na kuwa machungu.
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 ataitwaa ile sadaka ya unga ya wivu mikononi mwa yule mwanamke. Atailekeza ile sadaka ya unga mbele ya 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.
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 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.
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 she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children.
Lakini kama yule mwanake hajanajisika na kama ni msafi, basi atakuwa huru. Tena ataweza kubeba uja uzito.
29 This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled,
Hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu. Ni sheria ya mwanamke anayekengeuka kwa mumewe na kunajisika.
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:
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 The husband shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.
Yule mwanamume atakuwa hana hatia kwa kumleta mke wake kwa kuhani. Na yule mwanmke atauchukua uovu wake.”
