Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
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.
“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 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.’”
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 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Ndị Izrel mezuru iwu a, site nʼetiti ha kpọpụ ndị dị otu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
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.
“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 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.
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 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).
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 the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Onyinye niile dị nsọ ndị Izrel wetaara onye nchụaja bụ nke onye nchụaja ahụ.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Onyinye dị nsọ niile mmadụ na-eweta bụ nke onye na-eweta ya, ma onyinye e nyere onye nchụaja bụ nke onye nchụaja.’”
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, Ọ bụrụ na nwunye mmadụ ejehie ụzọ bụrụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nʼebe di ya nọ
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
site nʼidinakwuru nwoke ọzọ nʼụzọ zoro ezo nʼebe di ya nọ ruo na achọpụtaghị adịghị ọcha ya (ebe a na-enweghị onye ga-agba akaebe megide ya, maọbụ na e jidere ya mgbe ọ na-akwa iko ahụ),
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,
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 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.]
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 must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
“‘Onye nchụaja ga-akpọbata nwanyị a mee ka o guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ọ ga-ekunye mmiri nsọ nʼime ite aja, kporo aja nʼala site nʼụlọ nzute ahụ wụnye ya nʼime mmiri ahụ.
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].
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 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.
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 had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
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 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.”
(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.
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 ‘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].
“‘Mgbe ahụ onye nchụaja ahụ ga-ede ọbụbụ ọnụ ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, sanye ha nʼime mmiri ilu ahụ.
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
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.
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 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter 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 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.
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 she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to 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 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
“‘Nke a bụ iwu metụtara ikwo ekworo mgbe nwanyị bi nʼụlọ di ya kpafuru merụọ onwe ya.
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.
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 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.’”
A gaghị ama di nwanyị a ikpe dịka onye mere ihe ọjọọ, kama nwanyị a ga-ebu ahụhụ ya na mmehie ya naanị ya.’”
