Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
“Mi jo-Israel chik mondo oriemb ngʼato angʼata man-gi tuo mar del kata man-gi tuo magolo tutu kata ngʼat ma ok ler nikech osemulo ringre ngʼama otho.
3 Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
Riemb chwo kod mon duto mondo giwuok oko mar kambi; kik ginjaw kambi nikech adak e diergi.”
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Jo-Israel notimo kamano; mine giriembogi oko mar kambi. Negitimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
6 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
“Wachne jo-Israel kama: ‘Ka dichwo kata dhako okwinyo wadgi e yo moro amora kendo obedo ngʼama ok ja-ratiro ne Jehova Nyasaye, ngʼatno oketho
7 That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
kendo nyaka ohul richo mosetimono. Nyaka ochiw chudo duto mar kethone, omed achiel kuom abich ewi chudono bangʼe ochiwe duto ne ngʼat mosekethone.
8 If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
Ka ngʼat ma okethneno onge gi watne moro amora ma inyalo mi chudono, to chudono en mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka chiwe ne jadolo, ka itere gi im ma ikwayonego pwodhruok kuom richo.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Chiwo duto mowal ma jo-Israel kelo gin mek jadolo.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Chiwo mowal mar ngʼato ka ngʼato en mare owuon, ka osechiwe ne jadolo nobed mar jadolo.’”
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi kama: ‘Ka chi ngʼato ok obedo ja-adiera kendo ok obedo ja-ratiro
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
mi oterore gi dichwo moro, kendo timni opandore ne chwore ma ok ongʼere (nikech onge janeno mane onene kendo ne ok omake randoo),
14 But if the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true or not,
kendo ka nyiego omako chwor dhakono mi ochich kode, to chiegeno ochido, kata kapo ni nyiego omake kode kendo ochich kode kata obedo ni ok ochido,
15 he should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
to chworeno nyaka tere ir jadolo bed ni dhakono osedwanyore adier kata chwore chich mana kode kayiem. Bende nyaka oter chiwo mar achiel kuom apar mar efa mar mogo mar shairi e lo jaode. Ok onego ool mo kuome kata keto gima dungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar kuome, nikech en chiwo mar cham mar ketho chich, tiende ni en chiwo mifwenyogo adiera.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
“‘Jadolo nokel dhakono mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
17 He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
Eka notuom pi maler e agulu kendo nojow buru moa e dier kama ler mar lemo mi okwo e pigno.
18 He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
Bangʼ ka jadolo osekelo dhakono mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, enogony yie wiye eka noket chiwo mifwenyogo adiera e lwete ma en chiwo mar cham mitiekogo chich. Jadolo to notingʼ pi mar muma mifwenyogo adiera e lwete owuon.
19 The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
Eka jadolo noket dhakono kwongʼre kowacho niya, “Kaonge dichwo moseterore kodi kendo pod ok ibedo ja-adiera mibedo modwanyore kendo weyo yo ma ibedo mogak ka ingʼeyo ni in dhako man kod chwore, to mad pi makechni makelo kwongʼ kik hinyi.
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
To ka en adier ni isedwanyori, mi ngʼato oterore kodi, kingʼeyo ni in chi ngʼato,”
21 Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
to jadolo nokwongʼ dhakono niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo omi iyi ogore piny, kata omi ibwog nyathi ka kindene mar nywol pok ochopo, kibedogo ranyisi ne jou kuom wach kwongʼruok.
Mad pigni donj e iyi kendo omi iyi kirre kata omi ibwog nyathi ka kinde mar nywolne pok ochopo.” “‘Bangʼe dhakono nodwok kawacho niya, “Amin. Mad obed kamano.”
23 ‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink off into the bitter water].
“‘Nyaka jadolo ndik kwongʼ-gi e Kitabu bangʼe olingʼ-gi ei pi makechno.
24 The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
Enoket dhakono mondo omodh pi makech makelo kwongʼ, kendo pigni nodonj e iye mi kelne sand mager.
Jadolo nokaw chiwo mar cham mar golo chich koa e lwet dhakono, mi nofwaye e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo okele e kendo mar misango.
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Eka jadolo nojuk chiwo mar cham mopongʼo lwete kaka chiwo mar rapar kendo nowangʼe ewi kendo mar misango; bangʼ mano, noket dhakono omodh pigno.
27 If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
Ka dipo ni osedwanyore en owuon kendo ok osebedo ja-ratiro ne chwore, to nokete omodh pigno makelo kwongʼ, kendo ma nomi obed gi sand mager; ma mi obwog nyathi ka ndalone pok ochopo kendo ngʼama okwongʼ e kind ogandane.
28 But if she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
To ka dipo ni dhakono ok odwanyore kendo ok ochido, nokete thuolo mi ochak onywol nyithindo kendo.
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
“‘Ma e chik mar tieko chich ka dhako ok ja-adiera kendo odwanyore, kongʼeyo ni pod en dhako man-gi chwore,
30 or when a man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
kata ka gimoro otimore ma chwore ochich kode. Jadolo nokete ochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka oket chikni ne dhakoni.
31 Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
Dichwo nobed maonge ketho moro amora, to dhakono ibiro kum ne richo mage.’”
