Mose 4 5
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “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.
“Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse.
3 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.”
You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
4 Ale Israelviwo wɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi eye woɖe ame siawo katã ɖa le asaɖa la me.
The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as the LORD spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
5 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “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.
“Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against the LORD, and that soul is guilty,
7 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.
then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
8 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.
But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to the LORD shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
9 Nu kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe si Israelviwo atsɔ vɛ na nunɔla aɖe la, anye nunɔlaa tɔ.
Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
10 Ame sia ame ƒe nu kɔkɔewo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, ke esi wòatsɔ na nunɔla la, anye nunɔla la tɔ.’”
Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”
11 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ tra mɔ, meɖi anukware nɛ o,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
13 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),
and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;
14 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,
and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled;
15 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.
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
16 “‘Nunɔla la akplɔ nyɔnu la ayi Yehowa ŋkume,
The priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD.
17 aku tsi kɔkɔe ɖe anyikplu aɖe me, eye wòaku agbadɔ la me ke akɔ ɖe tsi la me.
The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
18 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.
The priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
19 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.
The priest shall cause her to take an oath and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
20 Ke ne èda afɔ esime nèle srɔ̃wò gbɔ, nègblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye ŋutsu bubu, ame si menye srɔ̃wò o la de asi ŋuwò la,”
But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—”
21 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.
then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May the LORD make you a curse and an oath amongst your people, when the LORD allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
22 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.”
and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”
23 “‘Ekema nunɔla la aŋlɔ fiƒode siawo ɖe agbalẽ me, eye wòakpala nuŋɔŋlɔ la ɖe tsi veve la me.
“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness.
24 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.
He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
25 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.
The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 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.
The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 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.
When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse amongst her people.
28 Ke ne nyɔnu la megblẽ kɔ ɖo o, eye wòdza la, woatso afia nɛ, eye wòagate ŋu adzi vi.
If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
29 “‘Esiae nye ŋuʋaʋãŋutise ne nyɔnu aɖe da afɔ, eye wògblẽ kɔ ɖo, esi wòle atsuƒe,
“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
30 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.
or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 Womaɖe agɔdzedze aɖeke na srɔ̃ŋutsu la o, gake nu vɔ̃ yomedzenu anɔ nyɔnu la dzi.’”
The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
