< Numbers 5 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and everyone with discharging, and everyone defiled by a body;
“Ɖe gbe na Israelviwo be woaɖe ame siwo katã nye anyidzelawo kple ame siwo katã ŋu tsi ƒomevi aɖe le dodom le kple ame siwo katã gblẽ kɔ ɖo le ame kuku aɖe ta la ɖa le asaɖa la me.
3 you send out from male even to female; you send them to the outside of the camp and they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”
Woawɔ ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa nenema. Miɖe wo ɖa ale be womagblẽ kɔ ɖo na asaɖa la, afi si mele le mia dome la o.”
4 And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out to the outside of the camp; as YHWH has spoken to Moses so the sons of Israel have done.
Ale Israelviwo wɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi eye woɖe ame siawo katã ɖa le asaɖa la me.
5 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against YHWH, and that person [is] guilty,
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be: ‘Ne ŋutsu alo nyɔnu da vo ɖe ame aɖe ŋu le mɔ aɖe nu eye wòto nu ma me meɖi anukware na Yehowa o la, ame ma ɖi fɔ.
7 and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he has restored his guilt in its principal, and is adding its fifth to it, and has given [it] to him in reference to whom he has been guilty.
Ele be wòaʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me eye wòaxe fe ɖe nu vɔ̃ si wòwɔ la ta. Gawu la, agbugbɔ nu la na nutɔ eye wòagatsɔ nu la ƒe home akpa atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpee na nutɔ la.
8 And if the man has no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored [is] to YHWH for the priest, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he makes atonement for him.
Ke ne ame si ŋu wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖo la ku eye eƒe ƒometɔ gobii aɖeke meli wòaxe fea na o la, ekema axee na Yehowa to nunɔla dzi eye wòagana alẽ ɖeka hena avuléle.
9 And every raised-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becomes his;
Nu kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe si Israelviwo atsɔ vɛ na nunɔla aɖe la, anye nunɔlaa tɔ.
10 and any man’s hallowed things become his; that which any man gives to the priest becomes his.”
Ame sia ame ƒe nu kɔkɔewo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, ke esi wòatsɔ na nunɔla la, anye nunɔla la tɔ.’”
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When any man’s wife turns aside, and has committed a trespass against him,
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ tra mɔ, meɖi anukware nɛ o,
13 and a man has lain with her [with] the seed [from] intercourse, and it has been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she has been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she has not been caught,
eye ŋutsu bubu de asi eŋu, nu sia le ɣaɣla ɖe srɔ̃a, eye womenya be egblẽ kɔ ɖo o (elabena ɖasefo aɖeke meli ɖe eŋu o, eye womelée asiasi o),
14 and a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has been defiled—or a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has not been defiled—
ne ŋutsu la le ŋu ʋãm, eye wòbu be ye srɔ̃ gblẽ kɔ ɖo, alo ne eʋã ŋu togbɔ be srɔ̃a megblẽ kɔ ɖo o hã la,
15 then the man has brought in his wife to the priest, and he has brought in her offering for her—a tenth of the ephah of barley meal; he does not pour oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.
ele be ŋutsu la nakplɔ srɔ̃a ayi nunɔla gbɔ. Nu si wòana nunɔla ɖe srɔ̃a tae nye luwɔ lita ɖeka. Womakɔ ami kple dzudzɔdonu ɖe edzi o, elabena enye nuɖuvɔsa ɖe ŋuʋaʋã ta kple ŋkuɖodzivɔsa si ahe woƒe susu ayi ɖe fɔɖiɖi gbɔe.
16 And the priest has brought her near, and has caused her to stand before YHWH,
“‘Nunɔla la akplɔ nyɔnu la ayi Yehowa ŋkume,
17 and the priest has taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and the priest takes of the dust which is on the floor of the Dwelling Place, and has put [it] into the water,
aku tsi kɔkɔe ɖe anyikplu aɖe me, eye wòaku agbadɔ la me ke akɔ ɖe tsi la me.
18 and the priest has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and has uncovered the woman’s head, and has given the present of the memorial into her hands (it [is] a present of jealousy), and the bitter waters which cause the curse are in the hand of the priest.
Ne nunɔla la na nyɔnu la tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume vɔ la, akaka ɖa ɖe ta na nyɔnu la, atsɔ ŋkuɖodzivɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsa na ŋuʋaʋã ade nyɔnu la ƒe asi me. Ke nunɔla la ŋutɔ alé tsi veve si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la ɖe asi.
19 And the priest has caused her to swear, and has said to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside [to] uncleanness under your husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;
Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la naka atam, eye wòagblɔ nɛ be, “Ne ŋutsu bubu aɖeke medɔ kpli wò o, ne mèda afɔ, hegblẽ kɔ ɖo na ɖokuiwò esi nèle atsuƒe na srɔ̃wò o la, ekema tsi veve sia, si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, megagblẽ nu le ŋutiwò o.
20 and you, if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have been defiled, and a man commits his intercourse with you besides your husband—
Ke ne èda afɔ esime nèle srɔ̃wò gbɔ, nègblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye ŋutsu bubu, ame si menye srɔ̃wò o la de asi ŋuwò la,”
21 then the priest has caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest has said to the woman—YHWH gives you for an execration and for a curse in the midst of your people, in YHWH’s giving your thigh to fall and your belly to swell,
ekema nunɔla la aka atam agblɔ fiƒodenyawo na nyɔnu la be, “Yehowa nana wò amewo naƒo fi ade wò, eye woagbe nu le gbɔwò; nena be wò ataŋuyi naflo ɖa, eye ƒo nadzi ɖe nuwò.
22 and these waters which cause the curse have gone into your bowels to cause the belly to swell and the thigh to fall; and the woman has said, Amen, Amen.
Tsi sia si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la nage ɖe lãme na wò ale be wò ƒodo nate ɖe nuwò, eye wò ataŋuyi naflo ɖa.” “‘Ekema nyɔnu la axɔ ɖe edzi be, “Amen, neva eme nenema.”
23 And the priest has written these execrations in a scroll, and has blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
“‘Ekema nunɔla la aŋlɔ fiƒode siawo ɖe agbalẽ me, eye wòakpala nuŋɔŋlɔ la ɖe tsi veve la me.
24 and has caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.
Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la nano tsi veve si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, tsi sia age ɖe eƒe lãme, eye wòana fukpekpe kple vevesese nava eya amea dzi.
25 And the priest has taken the present of jealousy out of the hand of the woman, and has waved the present before YHWH, and has brought it near to the altar;
Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la axɔ nuɖuvɔsa na ŋuʋaʋã le nyɔnu la si, anyee le yame le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòatsɔe ada ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
26 and the priest has taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and has made incense on the altar, and afterward causes the woman to drink the water;
Nunɔla la aku nuɖuvɔsa la ƒe asiʋlo ɖeka abe ŋkuɖodzivɔsa ene, eye wòatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Azɔ la, ana nyɔnu la nano tsi la.
27 indeed, he has caused her to drink the water, and it has come to pass, if she has been defiled and commits a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly has swelled, and her thigh has fallen, and the woman has become an execration in the midst of her people.
Ne nyɔnu la gblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye meto nyateƒe na srɔ̃a o, evɔ wona wòno tsi si hea fiƒode vaa ame dzi la, tsi la age ɖe eƒe lãme, eye wòase veve vevie. Eƒe ƒodo adzi ɖe enu, eƒe ataŋulã aflo ɖa, eye wòazu ɖiŋudonu le eƒe amewo dome.
28 And if the woman has not been defiled, and is clean, then she has been acquitted, and has been sown [with] seed.
Ke ne nyɔnu la megblẽ kɔ ɖo o, eye wòdza la, woatso afia nɛ, eye wòagate ŋu adzi vi.
29 This [is] the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband and has been defiled,
“‘Esiae nye ŋuʋaʋãŋutise ne nyɔnu aɖe da afɔ, eye wògblẽ kɔ ɖo, esi wòle atsuƒe,
30 or when a spirit of jealousy passes over a man and he has been jealous of his wife, then he has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and the priest has done to her all this law,
alo ne ŋuʋaʋã xɔ ŋutsu aɖe me, elabena ebu nazã ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu. Nunɔla la ana nyɔnu la natsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòawɔ se sia katã me dɔ na nyɔnu la.
31 and the man has been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman bears her iniquity.”
Womaɖe agɔdzedze aɖeke na srɔ̃ŋutsu la o, gake nu vɔ̃ yomedzenu anɔ nyɔnu la dzi.’”
