1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the dead:
3 Ingata arũme o na andũ-a-nja; ũmaingate nja ya kambĩ nĩguo matigathaahie kambĩ yao kũrĩa niĩ ndũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you.
4 Ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli meekire; makĩruta andũ acio nja ya kambĩ. Magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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: When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and offended,
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.
They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
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 there be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s, besides the ram that is offered for expiation, to be an atoning sacrifice.
9 Maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩrehagĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, marĩtuĩkaga make.
All the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
10 Iheo cia o mũndũ iria nyamũre nĩ ciake we mwene, no kĩrĩa angĩhe mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, gĩgaatuĩka kĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio.’”
And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
11 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũtumia wa mũndũ angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, atuĩke ti mwĩhokeku harĩ we
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband,
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),
Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery:
14 na mũthuuriwe aiguĩre mũtumia wake ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre atĩ nĩethaahĩtie, kana amũiguĩre ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre o na akorwo atethaahĩtie,
If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion,
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.
He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frankincense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery.
16 “‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatwara mũtumia ũcio amũrũgamie mbere ya Jehova.
The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it 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 he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
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 when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration.
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 shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband’s bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee.
20 No angĩkorwo nĩũhĩngĩcanĩtie mĩthiĩre yaku ũrĩ na mũthuuri na ũgethaahia nĩ ũndũ wa gũkoma na mũndũ ũngĩ tiga mũthuuriguo-rĩ,”
But if thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
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.
These curses shall light upon thee: The Lord make thee a curse, and an example for all among his people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder.
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.”
Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, 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 in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses,
24 Nĩagatũma mũtumia ũcio anyue maaĩ macio marũrũ marehaga kĩrumi, namo maaĩ macio mamũtoonye na matũme aigue ruo rũnene mũno.
And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up,
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 sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first,
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.
To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink.
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 when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the people.
28 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo mũtumia ũcio ndethaahĩtie na akorwo nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ndagatuuo mũhĩtia, na nĩakahota kũgĩa na ciana.
But if she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children.
29 “‘Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa ũiru rĩrĩa mũtumia angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, ethaahie o arĩ na mũthuuri,
This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled,
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.
And the husband stirred up by the spirit of jealousy bring her before the Lord, and the priest do to her according to all things that are here written:
31 Mũthuuriwe nĩagatuuo ndarĩ na ihĩtia o na rĩrĩkũ, no mũtumia ũcio nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ mehia make.’”
The husband shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.
