Numbers 5
1 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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 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 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
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 put them out without the camp: as Yhwh spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Waisraeli wakafanya hivyo; wakawatoa nje ya kambi. Wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amemwelekeza Mose.
5 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against Yhwh, and that person be guilty;
“Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Wakati mwanaume au mwanamke akimkosea mwenzake kwa njia yoyote, na kwa hivyo akawa si mwaminifu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ana hatia,
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
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 the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto Yhwh, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
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 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
Matoleo yote matakatifu ya Waisraeli wanayoleta kwa kuhani yatakuwa yake.
10 And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth 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 Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
“Nena na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mke wa mtu amepotoka na si mwaminifu kwa mumewe,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
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 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
nazo hisia za wivu zikamjia mumewe na kumshuku mkewe, naye mke yule ni najisi, au mumewe ana wivu na akamshuku ingawa si najisi,
15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
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 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yhwh:
“‘Kuhani atamleta huyo mwanamke na kumsimamisha mbele za Bwana.
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya maji matakatifu ndani ya gudulia la udongo na kuchanganya na baadhi ya vumbi kutoka sakafu ya Maskani.
18 And the priest shall set the woman before Yhwh, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
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 the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
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 to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
Lakini ikiwa umepotoka wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mume wako na umejinajisi mwenyewe kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine asiyekuwa mumeo”;
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yhwh make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Yhwh doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
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 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, 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 he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
“‘Kuhani ataandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, kisha atazioshea laana hizo kwenye yale maji machungu.
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
Kuhani atamnywesha yule mwanamke yale maji machungu yaletayo laana, nayo maji haya yatamwingia na kumsababishia maumivu makali.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before Yhwh, and offer it upon the altar:
Kuhani atachukua sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu kutoka mikononi mwa huyo mwanamke, naye ataipunga mbele za Bwana na kuileta madhabahuni.
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
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 he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her 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 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
Hata hivyo, ikiwa huyo mwanamke hakujitia unajisi, naye ni safi, atasafishwa hatia na ataweza kuzaa watoto.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
“‘Basi, hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu mwanamke anapopotoka na kujitia unajisi akiwa ameolewa na mumewe,
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before Yhwh, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
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 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
Mume atakuwa hana hatia ya kosa lolote, bali mwanamke atayachukua matokeo ya dhambi yake.’”
