1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Atha andũ a Isiraeli maingate kuuma kambĩ-inĩ yao mũndũ o wothe ũrũarĩte mũrimũ wa ngoothi ũrĩa ũngĩgwatanio, kana mũndũ ũrĩ na handũ o na ha he kuura, kana mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutia kĩimba.
“Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone with a skin disease, anyone who has a bodily discharge, and anyone who is defiled by a dead body.
3 Ingata arũme o na andũ-a-nja; ũmaingate nja ya kambĩ nĩguo matigathaahie kambĩ yao kũrĩa niĩ ndũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
You must send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.”
4 Ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli meekire; makĩruta andũ acio nja ya kambĩ. Magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.
5 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the LORD said to Moses,
6 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja angĩhĩtĩria mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ na njĩra o yothe, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio aage kwĩhokeka harĩ Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩ mũhĩtia,
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by committing any sin against another, that person is guilty
7 na no nginya oimbũre mehia marĩa ekĩte. No nginya arute irĩhi rĩothe nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia macio make, na ongerere gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithano kũrĩ irĩhi rĩu, anengere mũndũ ũcio ahĩtĩirie.
and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution, add a fifth to its value, and give all this to the one he has wronged.
8 No mũndũ ũcio angĩkorwo ndarĩ na mũndũ wa nyũmba yao ũrĩa ũngĩrĩhwo nĩ ũndũ wa ihĩtia rĩu, irĩhi rĩu rĩrĩtuĩkaga rĩa Jehova, na no nginya rĩnengerwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai rĩrĩ hamwe na ndũrũme ya kũrutwo igongona rĩa horohio nĩ ũndũ wake.
But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.
9 Maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩrehagĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, marĩtuĩkaga make.
Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
10 Iheo cia o mũndũ iria nyamũre nĩ ciake we mwene, no kĩrĩa angĩhe mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, gĩgaatuĩka kĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio.’”
Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
11 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũtumia wa mũndũ angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, atuĩke ti mwĩhokeku harĩ we
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him
13 na ũndũ wa gũkoma na mũndũ ũngĩ, na ũndũ ũcio ũhithwo mũthuuriwe na thaahu wake wage kũmenyeka (tondũ hatirĩ mũira wa kũmuumbũra, na ndaakorereirwo agĩĩka ũndũ ũcio-rĩ),
by sleeping with another man, and it is concealed from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she was not caught in the act),
14 na mũthuuriwe aiguĩre mũtumia wake ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre atĩ nĩethaahĩtie, kana amũiguĩre ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre o na akorwo atethaahĩtie,
and if a feeling of jealousy comes over her husband and he suspects his wife who has defiled herself—or if a feeling of jealousy comes over him and he suspects her even though she has not defiled herself—
15 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩatware mũtumia wake harĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Ningĩ no nginya atware gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa eba ĩmwe ya mũtu wa cairi nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake. Ndagaitĩrĩrie mũtu ũcio maguta kana awĩkĩre ũbumba, nĩ ũndũ rĩu nĩ iruta rĩa mũtu rĩrutagwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũiru, iruta rĩa mũtu rĩa kĩririkano, rĩa kũririkanania ihĩtia rĩu.
then he is to bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring for her an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil over it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, an offering of memorial as a reminder of iniquity.
16 “‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatwara mũtumia ũcio amũrũgamie mbere ya Jehova.
The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.
17 Acooke oe maaĩ maamũre marĩ ndigithũ-inĩ ya rĩũmba, na ahakũre rũkũngũ hau thĩ ya Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre arwĩkĩre maaĩ-inĩ macio.
Then he is to take some holy water in a clay jar and put some of the dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.
18 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aarĩkia kũrũgamia mũtumia ũcio mbere ya Jehova, nĩakamuohora njuĩrĩ yake, acooke amũnengere iruta rĩu rĩa kĩririkano rĩa mũtu nĩ ũndũ wa ũiru arĩnyiite na moko, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai we mwene akorwo anyiitĩte maaĩ macio marũrũ marĩa marehaga kĩrumi.
After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.
19 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke ehĩtithie mũtumia ũcio, amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo hatirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũkomete nawe, na ndũhĩngĩcanĩtie mĩthiĩre yaku ũgethaahia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũrĩ na mũthuuri-rĩ, maaĩ maya marũrũ marĩa marehaga kĩrumi maroaga gũgwĩka ũũru.
And he is to put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune to this bitter water that brings a curse.
20 No angĩkorwo nĩũhĩngĩcanĩtie mĩthiĩre yaku ũrĩ na mũthuuri na ũgethaahia nĩ ũndũ wa gũkoma na mũndũ ũngĩ tiga mũthuuriguo-rĩ,”
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and have defiled yourself and lain carnally with a man other than your husband’—
21 hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakehĩtithia mũtumia ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ ũrehanagĩra kĩrumi, oige atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũma andũ anyu makũrume na magũkaane, rĩrĩa agaatũma kĩero gĩaku kĩhinyare na nda yaku ĩimbe.
and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.
22 Namo maaĩ maya marehaga kĩrumi marotoonya mwĩrĩ waku, nayo nda yaku ĩimbe na kĩero gĩaku kĩhinyare.” “‘Nake mũtumia ũcio acooke oige atĩrĩ, “Ameni, nĩgũtuĩke ũguo.”
May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
23 “‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakandĩka irumi icio ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, acooke acithambĩrie maaĩ-inĩ macio marũrũ.
And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
24 Nĩagatũma mũtumia ũcio anyue maaĩ macio marũrũ marehaga kĩrumi, namo maaĩ macio mamũtoonye na matũme aigue ruo rũnene mũno.
He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and cause her bitter suffering.
25 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke oe iruta rĩu rĩa mũtu nĩ ũndũ wa ũiru kuuma moko-inĩ ma mũtumia ũcio, arĩthũngũthie mbere ya Jehova, na acooke arĩrehe kĩgongona-inĩ.
The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio arũme ngundi ĩmwe ya mũtu ũcio ũrutĩtwo ũrĩ wa kĩririkano na aũcinĩre igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona; thuutha ũcio atũme mũtumia ũcio anyue maaĩ macio.
Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.
27 Angĩkorwo nĩethaahĩtie na ti mwĩhokeku harĩ mũthuuriwe-rĩ, rĩrĩa akaanyuithio maaĩ macio marehaga kĩrumi, nĩ makaamũtoonya matũme aigue ruo rũnene mũno, na nda yake ĩimbe na kĩero gĩake kĩhinyare, nake atuĩke thaahu kũrĩ andũ ao.
When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.
28 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo mũtumia ũcio ndethaahĩtie na akorwo nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ndagatuuo mũhĩtia, na nĩakahota kũgĩa na ciana.
But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.
29 “‘Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa ũiru rĩrĩa mũtumia angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, ethaahie o arĩ na mũthuuri,
This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,
30 kana rĩrĩa mũndũ mũrũme angĩnyiitwo nĩ ũiru nĩ ũndũ nĩegwĩkũũa mũtumia ũcio wake. Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩmũrũgamagia mbere ya Jehova na arũmĩrĩre watho ũcio wothe.
or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.
31 Mũthuuriwe nĩagatuuo ndarĩ na ihĩtia o na rĩrĩkũ, no mũtumia ũcio nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ mehia make.’”
The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”
