1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And 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.
Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;
3 Ingata arũme o na andũ-a-nja; ũmaingate nja ya kambĩ nĩguo matigathaahie kambĩ yao kũrĩa niĩ ndũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.
4 Ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli meekire; makĩruta andũ acio nja ya kambĩ. Magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.
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,
Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;
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.
Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.
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 relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.
9 Maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩrehagĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, marĩtuĩkaga make.
And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.
10 Iheo cia o mũndũ iria nyamũre nĩ ciake we mwene, no kĩrĩa angĩhe mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, gĩgaatuĩka kĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio.’”
And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.
11 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord said to Moses,
12 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũtumia wa mũndũ angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, atuĩke ti mwĩhokeku harĩ we
Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against 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 taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;
14 na mũthuuriwe aiguĩre mũtumia wake ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre atĩ nĩethaahĩtie, kana amũiguĩre ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre o na akorwo atethaahĩtie,
If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:
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 let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.
16 “‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatwara mũtumia ũcio amũrũgamie mbere ya Jehova.
And the priest will make her come near and put her 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.
And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;
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.
And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the 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 will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the 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 been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:
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.
Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;
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.”
And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.
23 “‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakandĩka irumi icio ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, acooke acithambĩrie maaĩ-inĩ macio marũrũ.
And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;
24 Nĩagatũma mũtumia ũcio anyue maaĩ macio marũrũ marehaga kĩrumi, namo maaĩ macio mamũtoonye na matũme aigue ruo rũnene mũno.
And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.
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.
And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take 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.
And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter 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.
And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.
28 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo mũtumia ũcio ndethaahĩtie na akorwo nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ndagatuuo mũhĩtia, na nĩakahota kũgĩa na ciana.
But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.
29 “‘Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa ũiru rĩrĩa mũtumia angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, ethaahie o arĩ na mũthuuri,
This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;
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 for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.
31 Mũthuuriwe nĩagatuuo ndarĩ na ihĩtia o na rĩrĩkũ, no mũtumia ũcio nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ mehia make.’”
Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
