Resansman 5
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Kòmande fis Israël yo pou yo voye fè kite kan an chak moun lalèp ak tout sila ki gen ekoulman yo, oswa chak moun ki pa pwòp akoz a yon moun mouri.
“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.
3 “Nou va voye ale ni gason, ni fanm. Nou va voye yo deyò kan an pou yo pa konwonpi kan pa yo a, kote Mwen rete nan mitan yo a.”
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.’”
4 Fis Israël yo te fè sa, e yo te voye yo deyò kan an; jis jan ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse la, se konsa ke fis Israël yo te fè.
So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
5 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
6 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo: ‘Lè yon nonm, oswa yon fanm fè yon lòt mal, aji avèk mank lafwa kont SENYÈ a, e moun sa a koupab,
“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.
7 alò, li va konfese peche ke li te fè yo; li va peye pou tò ke li te fè a, li va peye yon senkyèm nan valè donmaj la anplis, e li va bay sa a sila ke li te fè tò a.
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.
8 Men si nonm nan pa gen relasyon pou resevwa pèyman, pèyman ki fèt pou tò a, li va oblije ale bay SENYÈ a pou prèt la, ansanm avèk belye ekspiyatwa ki pou fè ekspiyasyon pou li a.
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).
9 Tout don ki apatyen a kado sen a fis Israël yo, ke yo ofri a prèt la, va pou li.
All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
10 Konsa kado a chak moun va pou li; nenpòt bagay ke nenpòt moun bay a prèt la, li va vin pou li.’”
The priest can keep those gifts.’”
11 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
12 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo e di yo: ‘Si madanm a yon nonm vin vire, e li vin enfidèl anvè li,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
13 epi yon lòt gason vin antre nan li, epi si sa kache a zye mari li, sa rete an kachèt, malgre ke li te konwonpi tèt li, men pa gen temwayaj kont li ni li pa t kenbe nan zak la,
but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
14 si yon espri jalouzi vin antre sou nonm nan, e si li jalou pou madanm li, e li te konwonpi tèt li a, oswa si yon espri jalouzi vin sou li e li jalou lè li pa t vrèman konwonpi tèt li,
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,
15 mesye a, alò, va mennen madanm li devan prèt la. Konsa, li va mennen kòm ofrann pou li yon dizyèm efa nan lòj moulen an. Li pa pou vide lwil sou li, ni mete lansan sou li, paske li se yon ofrann sereyal de jalouzi, yon ofrann sereyal pou sonje, pou pa bliye inikite.
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.]
16 “‘Alò, prèt la va mennen li vin toupre li, e fè l kanpe devan SENYÈ a.
The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
17 Prèt la va pran dlo sen an nan yon veso fèt an ajil. Li va pran kèk nan poud ki atè nan tabènak la, e li va mete nan dlo a.
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.
18 Konsa, prèt la va fè fanm nan kanpe devan SENYÈ a, kite très cheve tèt a fanm nan vin desann, mete ofrann sonje a nan men li, ki se ofrann sereyal jalouzi a, pandan prèt la kenbe dlo anmè ki pote madichon an.
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].
19 Prèt la va fè fanm sèmante. Li va di li: “Si nanpwen gason ki te kouche avèk ou, si ou pa t vin vire pou antre nan sa ki pa pwòp, alò akoz ou anba otorite mari ou, rete san afekte pa dlo anmè sa a ki mennen yon madichon.
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.
20 Sepandan, si ou te vin vire, akoz ou anba otorite mari ou, si ou te konwonpi tèt ou, e yon lòt gason ki pa mari ou te kouche avèk ou,”
But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
21 (alò, prèt la va fè fanm nan fè sèman madichon an, e prèt la va di a fanm nan): “Ke SENYÈ a fè ou modi, yon madichon pami pèp ou a lè SENYÈ a fè kwis ou vin pouri pou disparèt, e vant ou vin anfle;
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.”
22 epi dlo sa a ki pote yon madichon va antre nan vant ou, fè vant ou anfle e fè kwis ou vin pouri e disparèt.” Konsa, fanm nan va di: “Amen, Amen.”
23 Epi prèt la va ekri madichon sa yo sou yon woulo papye, e li va lave fè yo sòti nan dlo anmè a.
‘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].
24 Epi li va fè fanm nan bwè dlo anmè ki pote madichon an, pou dlo ki pote madichon an kab antre nan li e li va fè l vin anmè.
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
25 Prèt la va pran ofrann sereyal pou jalouzi a nan men fanm nan, e li va balanse li devan SENYÈ a pou mennen li vè lotèl la.
26 Konsa, prèt la va pran yon men plen nan ofrann sereyal la kòm ofrann tout moun sonje, li va ofri li anlè nan lafimen sou lotèl la, e apre, li va fè fanm nan bwè dlo a.
and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
27 Lè li fin fè li bwè dlo a, alò li va vin rive, ke si li te konwonpi tèt li, li pa t kenbe bòn fwa avèk mari li, ke dlo ki mennen madichon an kab antre nan li pou fè l vin anmè a, vant li va vin anfle, kwis li va vin pouri, e fanm nan va devni yon madichon pami pèp li a.
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.
28 Men si fanm nan pa t konwonpi tèt li e li te pwòp, li va, alò, lib e li va fè pitit.
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.
29 “‘Sa se lalwa jalouzi a: lè yon fanm, anba otorite mari li, vin vire e konwonpi tèt li,
‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
30 oswa lè yon espri jalouzi vin sou yon mesye, e li vin jalou pou madanm li. Li va, alò, fè fanm nan kanpe devan SENYÈ a, e prèt la va aplike tout lwa sa a anvè li.
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.
31 Anplis, mesye a va lib, san koupabilite, men fanm nan va pote koupabilite pa li a.’”
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.’”
