Numbers 5
1 The Lord told Moses,
BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
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.
“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 male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
Awe mme au mke, umtoa kambini. Ili wasije wakaitia unajisi kambi, kwa sababu Mimi huishi ndani yake,”
4 The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
Watu wa Israeli walifanya hivyo. Waliwatoa kambini, Kama BWANA alivyomwagiza Musa. Watu wa Israeli walimtii BWANA.
5 The Lord told Moses,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
6 “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are 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 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.
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 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.
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 holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
Kila sadaka ya wana wa Israeli, vitu ambavyo vimetengwa na vikaletwa kwa kuhani na watu wa Israeli, vitakuwa vyake.
10 Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
Sadaka ya kila mtu itakuwa ya kuhani; kama mtu yeyote atatoa kitu chochote kwa kuhani, kitakuwa chake.”
11 The Lord told Moses,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa. Akasema,
12 “Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
“Nena na wana wa Israel. Uwaambie, 'kama mke wa mtu ataasi na kufanya dhambi dhidi ya mume wake.
13 by sleeping with someone else. It may be that her husband doesn't find out and her unclean act wasn't witnessed—she wasn't caught out.
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 But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
Ingawa, roho ya wivu inaweza kumdanganya yule mwanamume wakati mke wake hajanajisika.
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.
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 is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
Ndipo kuhani atasogeza karibu na kumweka mbele ya BWANA.
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.
Kuhani atachukua kikombe cha maji matakatifu na atachukua mavumbi ya kwenye masikani. Ataweka yale mavumbi kwenye maji.
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.
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 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.
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 you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
Lakini kama wewe, mwanamke uliye chini ya mume wako, umekengeuka, na kama umenajisika, na kama mwanamume mwingina amelala nawe,
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.
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 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.”
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 The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
Naye kuhani ataziandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, na kisha kuzifuta laana zilizoandikwa kwa maji ya uchungu.
24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
Naye kuhani atamwelekeza yule mwanamke kunywa yale maji machungu yaletayo laana. Yale maji yaletayo laana yataingia na kuwa machungu.
25 The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Lakini kama yule mwanake hajanajisika na kama ni msafi, basi atakuwa huru. Tena ataweza kubeba uja uzito.
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,
Hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu. Ni sheria ya mwanamke anayekengeuka kwa mumewe na kunajisika.
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.
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 If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
Yule mwanamume atakuwa hana hatia kwa kumleta mke wake kwa kuhani. Na yule mwanmke atauchukua uovu wake.”
