Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Nama dhukkuba gogaa kan namatti darbu qabu yookaan nama dhangalaʼaa dhagnaa qabu yookaan nama sababii waan duʼe tokkootiin xuraaʼaa taʼe kam iyyuu akka qubata keessaa baasaniif saba Israaʼel ajaji.
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.’”
Dhiiras dubartiis gad baasaa; akka isaan qubata isaanii iddoo ani gidduu isaanii jiraadhu sana hin xureessineef qubata keessaa isaan baasaa.”
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Israaʼeloonnis akkanuma godhanii qubata keessaa isaan baasan. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Museetti hime sana godhan.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Warra Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Yoo dhiirri yookaan dubartiin tokko karaa kamiin iyyuu nama kaanitti balleessa hojjechuudhaan Waaqayyo duratti amanamummaa dhabe, namni sun yakkamaa dha;
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.
cubbuu hojjetes himachuu qaba. Yakka isaatiifis guutumaan guutuutti haa kiisu. Kiisii sana irrattis harka shan keessaa harka tokko dabalee namicha miidhame sanaaf haa kennu.
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).
Namni yakki isa irratti hojjetame sun yoo fira aantee kan kiisii sana isaaf fuudhu qabaachuu baate garuu kiisiin sun kan Waaqayyoo ti; korbeessa hoolaa ittiin araarri isaaf buufamu wajjin lubaaf haa kennamu.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Buusiiwwan qulqulluun Israaʼeloonni lubatti fidan hundi kan isaa ti.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Wantoonni qulqulluun kanuma abbootii isaanii ti; wanni isaan lubichaaf kennan garuu kanuma lubichaa ti.’”
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“Akkana jedhiitii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu: ‘Yoo niitiin nama kamii iyyuu karaa irraa baduudhaan isaaf amanamuu baattee
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
dhiira biraa wajjin ciifte, yoo dhirsi ishees waan kana beekuu baate, yoo xuraaʼummaan ishee akkuma dhokatetti hafe, yoo namni ishee irratti dhugaa baʼu hin argamin, isheen yoo waan kana irratti hin qabamin,
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,
yoo dhirsa ishee hafuurri hinaaffaa qabatee inni niitii isaa shakke, yoo isheen xurooftuu taate yookaan yoo inni hinaafee ishee shakkee isheen xurooftuu hin taʼin,
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.]
inni niitii isaa lubatti haa geessu. Akkasumas inni kennaa daakuu garbuu iifii harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko qooda ishee haa geessu. Kennaan midhaanii kan sababii hinaaffaatiif dhiʼeeffamu kun waan kennaa yaadannoo kan yakka yaadachiisu taʼeef, inni zayitii fi ixaana itti naquu hin qabu.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
“‘Lubichis ishee fidee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ishee haa dhaabu.
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.
Ergasii inni bishaan qulqulluu okkotee supheetti haa naqu; lafa dunkaana qulqulluu irraa biyyoo fuudhee bishaan sana keessa haa buusu.
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].
Lubichis erga dubartii sana fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabee booddee rifeensa mataa ishee hiikee kennaa yaadannoo jechuunis kennaa midhaanii kan hinaaffaaf dhiʼeeffamu sana harka ishee keessa kaaʼa; bishaan hadhaaʼaa abaarsa fidu sanas harka ofiitti qabata.
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.
Lubichis dubartii sana ni kakachiisa; akkanas jedhaan; “Yoo utuu ati dhirsa qabduu namni biraa si wajjin hin ciisinii fi yoo ati karaa irraa baddee hin xuraaʼin bishaan hadhaaʼaan abaarsa fidu kun si hin miidhin.
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
Garuu ati yoo karaa irraa baddee utuu dhirsa qabduu nama dhirsa kee hin taʼin wajjin ciiftee of xureessitee argamte;”
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.”
kana irratti lubichi kakaa abaarsaa ishee kakachiisa; akkanas jedhaan; “Waaqayyo gudeeda kee tortorsee garaa kee illee bokoksee saba kee gidduutti kakaa fi abaarsaaf si haa godhu.
Akka garaan kee bokokuu fi akka gudeedni kee tortoruuf bishaan abaarsa fidu kun dhagna kee haa seenu.” “‘Dubartiin sunis, “Ameen, ameen” haa jettu.
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].
“‘Lubichis abaarsawwan sana kitaaba maramaa irratti haa barreessu; ergasiis bishaan hadhaaʼaa sanatti irraa haa dhiqu.
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
Innis akka dubartiin sun bishaan hadhaaʼaa abaarsa fidu sana dhugdu haa godhu; bishaan abaarsaa fi dhiphina hamaa fidu sunis ishee seena.
Lubichis kennaa midhaanii kan hinaaffaa sana ishee harkaa fuudhee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sochoosee gara iddoo aarsaa fida.
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Lubni sunis kennaa midhaanii sana irraa konyee tokko kennaa yaadannootiif fuudhee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu; ergasiis akka dubartiin sun bishaan sana dhugdu haa godhu.
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.
Yoo isheen of xureessitee dhirsa isheetiif amanamuu baatte, yommuu isheen bishaan abaarsa fidu sana dhugdutti bishaan sun ishee seenee dhiphina hamaa isheetti fida; garaan ishee ni bokoka; gudeedni ishee ni tortora; isheenis saba ishee biratti abaaramtuu taati.
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.
Garuu yoo dubartiin sun of xureessuu baattee fi yoo qulqulluu taate isheen yakka irraa bilisa taati; daʼuus ni dandeessi.
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
“‘Yoo dubartiin utuma dhirsa qabduu karaa irraa gortee of xureessite
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.
yookaan yoo dhiirri sababii niitii ofii shakkuuf hafuurri hinaaffaa isa qabate, seerri hinaaffaaf kenname kanaa dha. Lubichi dubartii sana fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabee seera kana hunda ishee irratti haa raawwatu.
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.’”
Dhirsi sun balleessaa irraa bilisa taʼa; dubartiin sun garuu gatii cubbuu ishee argatti.’”
