< Numbers 5 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 “Order the Israelites to expel from the camp anyone who has a skin disease, or who has a discharge, or who is unclean from touching a dead body.
“Nye ndị Izrel iwu ka ha site nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha kpọpụ onye ekpenta ọbụla maọbụ onye ihe si nʼahụ na-asọpụta, na ndị merụrụ onwe ha site nʼimetụ onye nwụrụ anwụ aka.
3 Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
Iwu a metụtara onye ọbụla, nwoke na nwanyị. Kpọpụ ha ka ha gaa nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu, ka ha ghara imerụ ogige ụlọ ikwu ha bụ ebe ahụ m binyere unu.”
4 The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
Ndị Izrel mezuru iwu a, site nʼetiti ha kpọpụ ndị dị otu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
5 The Lord told Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
6 “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Mgbe onye ọbụla, nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, mejọrọ mmadụ ibe ya nʼụzọ ọbụla, si otu a bụrụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ikpe mara.
7 and must confess their sin. They have to pay the full amount of compensation plus one fifth of its value, and give this to the person they have wronged.
Onye dị otu a aghaghị ikwupụta mmehie ya, kwụghachi onye ahụ o mejọrọ ihe iwu kwuru na ọ ga-akwụ. Ọ ga-atụkwasị nʼelu ihe ọ na-akwụghachi onye ahụ o mejọrọ ego ọzọ ruru otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise.
8 However, if that person doesn't have a relative who can be paid the compensation, it belongs to the Lord and shall be given to the priest, together with a sacrificial ram by which the guilty person is set right.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ enweghị onye ikwu ya bụ onye a ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ nʼihi mejọọ ahụ, ihe ịkwụghachi ụgwọ ahụ ga-abụ nke Onyenwe anyị, aghaghị inye onye nchụaja. A ga-atụkwasịkwa ya ebule a ga-eji chụọ aja mkpuchi mmehie nʼihi onye ahụ mehiere.
9 All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
Onyinye niile dị nsọ ndị Izrel wetaara onye nchụaja bụ nke onye nchụaja ahụ.
10 Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
Onyinye dị nsọ niile mmadụ na-eweta bụ nke onye na-eweta ya, ma onyinye e nyere onye nchụaja bụ nke onye nchụaja.’”
11 The Lord told Moses,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
12 “Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, Ọ bụrụ na nwunye mmadụ ejehie ụzọ bụrụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nʼebe di ya nọ

14 But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
ọ bụrụ na mmụọ ekworo abịakwasị di ya, ọ bụrụkwa na di nwanyị ahụ na-enyo nwunye ya enyo, na-ele ya anya dịka onye merụrụ onwe ya, ma ọ bụkwanụ, ọ bụrụ na di ya esite nʼekworo nyoo nwunye ya, ọ bụ ezie na nwanyị ahụ bụ onye na-emerụghị onwe ya,
15 he is to take her before the priest. He is also to take with him on her behalf an offering of one tenth of an ephath of barley flour. He must also bring for her an offering of an ephah of barley flour. He's not to pour olive oil over it or put frankincense on it, since it's a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to remind people about sin.
nwoke a ga-akpọrọ nwunye ya bịakwute onye nchụaja. Ọ ga-eweta onyinye iji ịbịaru nso nʼihi nwunye ya, nke bụ iko ụtụ ọka balị abụọ a na-awụkwasịghị mmanụ, maọbụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ a gwakọrọ agwakọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onyinye mkpụrụ ọka e sitere nʼobi jupụtara nʼekworo nye, onyinye ịkpọtụ uche nʼikpe ọmụma.
16 The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
“‘Onye nchụaja ga-akpọbata nwanyị a mee ka o guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
17 Then he shall fill a clay jar with holy water in a clay jar and sprinkle on it some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle.
Ọ ga-ekunye mmiri nsọ nʼime ite aja, kporo aja nʼala site nʼụlọ nzute ahụ wụnye ya nʼime mmiri ahụ.
18 Once the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall let her hair loose and have her hold the reminder grain offering—the grain offering used in cases of jealousy. The priest shall hold the bitter water that curses.
Dịka nwanyị ahụ guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-atọsa agịrị isi ya, tinye onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ncheta ahụ, nke bụ onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ekworo ahụ nʼọbụaka nwanyị a. Onye nchụaja nʼonwe ya ga-eguzo nʼihu nwanyị a jide ite mmiri ilu ahụ na-eweta ọbụbụ ọnụ.
19 He shall place the woman under oath and tell her, ‘If no one else has slept with you and you have not been unfaithful and become unclean while married to your husband, may you not be harmed by this bitter water that curses.
Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-eme ka nwanyị a ṅụọ iyi, mgbe ọ na-agwa ya okwu sị, “Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị nwoke ọbụla gị na ya nwere mmekọ, ọ bụrụ na ị kpafughị ghọọ onye na-adịghị ọcha mgbe ị nọ nʼụlọ di gị, ka ihe ọjọọ ọbụla ghara izute gị site na mmiri ilu a na-eweta ọbụbụ ọnụ.
20 But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị kpafuola mgbe ị ka nọ nʼụlọ di gị, ọ bụrụ na i merụọla onwe gị site na idinakwuru nwoke ọzọ na-abụghị di gị,”
21 (Here the priest shall place the woman under the oath of the curse as follows.) “May the Lord place a curse on you that everyone knows about by having your thighs shrink and your belly swell up.
(nʼoge a, onye nchụaja ga-eme ka nwanyị a ṅụọ iyi nke ya na ọbụbụ ọnụ a so, gwa nwanyị okwu sị ya) “ka Onyenwe anyị mee ka ndị ị nọ nʼetiti ha bụọ gị ọnụ ma kọchaa gị mgbe o mere ka apata gị ree ure, mgbe o mere ka afọ gị koo eko.
22 May this water that curses go into your stomach and make your belly swell up and your thighs shrink.” The woman is to answer, “I agree, I agree.”
Ka mmiri ilu a, nke na-eweta ọbụbụ ọnụ banye gị nʼahụ ime ka afọ gị koo eko, imekwa ka akpanwa gị daa ada.” “‘Nwanyị ahụ ga-aza sị, “Amen, ya dịrị m otu a.”
23 The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
“‘Mgbe ahụ onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ede ọbụbụ ọnụ ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, sanye ha nʼime mmiri ilu ahụ.
24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-enye nwanyị a mmiri ilu ahụ na-eweta ọbụbụ ọnụ ka ọ ṅụọ, mmiri a ga-abanye ya nʼime ahụ, wetara ya ịta ahụhụ dị ilu.
25 The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
Emesịa, onye nchụaja ga-anara nwanyị ahụ onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ekworo ahụ o ji nʼọbụaka ya, fegharịa ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, buru ya gaa nʼebe ịchụ aja.
26 Then the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as a reminder portion and burn it on the altar, and make the woman drink the water.
Onye nchụaja ga-esite nʼonyinye mkpụrụ ahụ kporo nke ga-eju ya aka, nke na-anọchite anya ha niile, suo ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja. Emesịa, ọ ga-enye nwanyị ahụ mmiri ahụ ka ọ ṅụọ.
27 After he has made her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and has been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that curses will cause her bitter pain. Her belly will swell up and her thighs will shrink. She will become a cursed woman among her people.
Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị a emerụọla onwe ya, bụrụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye di ya, mgbe ọ ṅụrụ mmiri na-eweta ọbụbụ ọnụ, ọ ga-abanye nʼime ya wetara ya ahụhụ dị ilu. Afọ ya ga-eko, buo ibu, akpanwa ya a gaghị anagide nwa. Ọ ga-aghọ onye a bụrụ ọnụ nʼetiti ndị ya.
28 But if the woman has not made herself unclean by being unfaithful and is clean, she will not experience this punishment and she will still be able to have children.
Ma ọ bụrụ na nwanyị emerụghị onwe ya, kama ọ bụ onye dị ọcha, ọ ga-abụ onye nwere onwe ya site nʼikpe ọmụma. Ọ ga-atụrụ ime mụta ụmụ.
29 This is the rule to follow in cases of jealousy when a wife has an affair and makes herself unclean while married to her husband,
“‘Nke a bụ iwu metụtara ikwo ekworo mgbe nwanyị bi nʼụlọ di ya kpafuru merụọ onwe ya.
30 or when a husband starts feeling jealous and becomes suspicious of his wife. He shall have his wife stand before the Lord, and the priest is to carry out every part of this rule.
Maọbụ mgbe ekworo jupụtara nwoke nʼobi nʼihi na ọ gụrụ nwunye ya dịka onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi. Onye nchụaja ga-eme ka nwanyị a guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mezuokwa ihe niile nʼusoro dịka e si depụta ha nʼebe a.
31 If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
A gaghị ama di nwanyị a ikpe dịka onye mere ihe ọjọọ, kama nwanyị a ga-ebu ahụhụ ya na mmehie ya naanị ya.’”
