< Numbers 5 >
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
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.
“Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri buli mugenge bamufulumye ebweru w’olusiisira, na buli alina ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi, n’oyo anaabanga akutte ku mufu.
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.’”
Abasajja n’abakazi bonna babafulumyenga ebweru w’olusiisira baleme okulufuula olutali lulongoofu, kubanga omwo mwe mbeera.”
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakolanga bwe batyo ne babafulumyanga ebweru w’olusiisira. Ne bakola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
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.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Omuntu yenna omusajja oba omukazi bw’anaasobyanga eri munne mu ngeri yonna, bw’atyo anaabanga asobezza eri Mukama Katonda, omuntu oyo anaabangako omusango,
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.
era asaana ayatule ekibi ekyo ky’anaabanga akoze. Anaaliwanga mu bujjuvu olw’ekibi ekyo ky’anaabanga akoze, n’agattako n’ekitundu ekimu ekyokutaano eky’ebyo by’anaabanga aliye, byonna anaabiwanga oyo gw’anaabanga azizzaako omusango.
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).
Naye singa omuntu oyo azzibbwako omusango taabengawo na waaluganda lwa kumpi, eby’okuliwa ebyo binaabanga bya Mukama Katonda era n’endiga ennume ey’okutangiririra oyo eyazza omusango, binaaweebwanga kabona.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Era ebirabo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga eri kabona binaabanga bya kabona oyo.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Ekirabo kya buli muntu ekitukuvu kinaabanga kikye, naye ekyo ky’anaaleeteranga kabona kinaabanga kya kabona.’”
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, Muka omusajja yenna bw’anaakyamanga n’akola ebitali bya bwesigwa eri bba
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
ne yeebaka n’omusajja omulala nga bba tategedde, omusajja oyo n’amusobyako, ekikolwa ekyo ne kitamanyibwa, kubanga tewali mujulizi akirabye era nga tebabakutte nga bakikola;
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,
singa omusajja akwatibwa ebbuba n’ateebereza nti osanga mukazi we baamusobezzaako, oba ebbuba ne limukwata newaakubadde nga mukazi we tebaamusobezzaako,
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.]
kale anaaleetanga mukazi we eri kabona. Anaaleetanga n’ekyokuwaayo ku lwa mukazi we ekitundu kimu eky’ekkumi ekya efa eky’obuwunga bw’emmere eyitibwa sayiri. Obuwunga obwo taabufukengako mafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni wadde okubussaamu ebyakawoowo, kubanga bwe buwunga obuweereddwayo ku nsonga y’ebbuba, nga kye kiweebwayo eky’okujjukiza nti waliwo omusango ogwazzibwa.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
“Kabona anaasembezanga omukazi oyo n’amuleeta n’amuyimiriza mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
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.
Anaddiranga amazzi amatukuvu nga gali mu kijaagi eky’ebbumba n’ateeka mu mazzi ago enfuufu gy’anaggyanga wansi mu Weema.
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].
Kabona bw’anaamalanga okuyimiriza omukazi oyo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, anaamusumululanga enviiri ze n’azita ne zikka, n’amukwasa ekiweebwayo eky’okujjukiza eky’emmere y’empeke ekiweereddwayo olw’obuggya, ye kabona ng’akutte amazzi agakaawa agaleeta ekikolimo.
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.
Kabona anaalayizanga omukazi oyo n’amugamba bw’ati nti, ‘Obanga tewali musajja yenna eyeebase naawe mu kyama n’ofuuka atali mulongoofu songa oli mu bufumbo ewa balo, amazzi agakaawa gano agaleeta ekikolimo tegaakukole kabi.’
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
Naye bw’onoowabanga ne weebaka n’omusajja atali balo, bw’otyo ne weeyonoonyesa,
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.”
wano kabona anaalayizanga omukazi ekirayiro eky’ekikolimo n’amugamba nti, ‘Mukama Katonda aleetere abantu bo okukukolimira n’okukuboola bw’anaakoozimbyanga ekisambi kyo n’olubuto lwo n’aluleetera entumbi ne luzimba.
Amazzi gano agaleeta ekikolimo gayingirenga mu mubiri gwo gazimbye olubuto lwo era n’ekisambi kyo kikoozimbe.’ “Omukazi anaddangamu nti, ‘Amiina, Amiina.’
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].
“‘Kabona anaawandiikanga ebikolimo ebyo ku muzingo n’abyozaako mu mazzi agakaawa.
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
Anaanywesanga omukazi amazzi agakaawa agaleeta ekikolimo, era amazzi ago ganaayingiranga mu mukazi oyo ne gamuleetera obulumi n’okubonaabona mu mubiri.
Awo kabona anaggyangako omukazi oyo ekiweebwayo eky’empeke olw’obuggya, anaawuubanga ekiweebwayo ekyo eky’empeke mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, n’akireeta ku kyoto.
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Kabona anaddiranga olubatu lw’obuwunga obw’ekiweebwayo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’okujjukira n’akyokya ku kyoto; ebyo nga biwedde anaanywesanga omukazi amazzi gali.
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.
Bw’anaamalanga okumunywesa amazzi ago, kale bw’anaabanga yeeyonoonyesezza nga tabadde mwesigwa eri bba, amazzi ago agaleeta ekikolimo ganaayingiranga mu mubiri gw’omukazi oyo ne gamuleetera obulumi obubalagala; olubuto lwe lunaazimbulukukanga n’ekisambi kye ne kikoozimba, era anaafuukanga omukolimire mu bantu b’ewaabwe.
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.
Naye omukazi oyo bw’anaabanga teyeeyonoonyesa nga mulongoofu, kale taabeerengako musango, era anaabanga wa ddembe okuzaala abaana.’
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
“‘Eryo lye tteeka ery’obuggya, omukazi bw’anaakyamanga ne yeeyonoona songa mufumbo aliko bba,
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.
oba omusajja bw’anaayingirangamu omwoyo ogw’ebbuba, n’akwatirwa mukazi we obuggya; kale anaaleetanga mukazi we oyo eri Mukama Katonda, kabona n’alyoka assa etteeka eryo mu nkola ku mukazi oyo.
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.’”
Balo taabengako kyonoono ku nsonga ezo wabula mukazi we y’anaabangako omusango olw’okwonoona kwe.’”
