Lakkoobsa 5
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Nama dhukkuba gogaa kan namatti darbu qabu yookaan nama dhangalaʼaa dhagnaa qabu yookaan nama sababii waan duʼe tokkootiin xuraaʼaa taʼe kam iyyuu akka qubata keessaa baasaniif saba Israaʼel ajaji.
“Order the Israelites to expel from the camp anyone who has a skin disease, or who has a discharge, or who is unclean from touching a dead body.
3 Dhiiras dubartiis gad baasaa; akka isaan qubata isaanii iddoo ani gidduu isaanii jiraadhu sana hin xureessineef qubata keessaa isaan baasaa.”
Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
4 Israaʼeloonnis akkanuma godhanii qubata keessaa isaan baasan. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Museetti hime sana godhan.
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
6 “Warra Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Yoo dhiirri yookaan dubartiin tokko karaa kamiin iyyuu nama kaanitti balleessa hojjechuudhaan Waaqayyo duratti amanamummaa dhabe, namni sun yakkamaa dha;
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
7 cubbuu hojjetes himachuu qaba. Yakka isaatiifis guutumaan guutuutti haa kiisu. Kiisii sana irrattis harka shan keessaa harka tokko dabalee namicha miidhame sanaaf haa kennu.
and must confess their sin. They have to pay the full amount of compensation plus one fifth of its value, and give this to the person they have wronged.
8 Namni yakki isa irratti hojjetame sun yoo fira aantee kan kiisii sana isaaf fuudhu qabaachuu baate garuu kiisiin sun kan Waaqayyoo ti; korbeessa hoolaa ittiin araarri isaaf buufamu wajjin lubaaf haa kennamu.
However, if that person doesn't have a relative who can be paid the compensation, it belongs to the Lord and shall be given to the priest, together with a sacrificial ram by which the guilty person is set right.
9 Buusiiwwan qulqulluun Israaʼeloonni lubatti fidan hundi kan isaa ti.
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 Wantoonni qulqulluun kanuma abbootii isaanii ti; wanni isaan lubichaaf kennan garuu kanuma lubichaa ti.’”
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
12 “Akkana jedhiitii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu: ‘Yoo niitiin nama kamii iyyuu karaa irraa baduudhaan isaaf amanamuu baattee
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
13 dhiira biraa wajjin ciifte, yoo dhirsi ishees waan kana beekuu baate, yoo xuraaʼummaan ishee akkuma dhokatetti hafe, yoo namni ishee irratti dhugaa baʼu hin argamin, isheen yoo waan kana irratti hin qabamin,
by sleeping with someone else. It may be that her husband doesn't find out and her unclean act wasn't witnessed—she wasn't caught out.
14 yoo dhirsa ishee hafuurri hinaaffaa qabatee inni niitii isaa shakke, yoo isheen xurooftuu taate yookaan yoo inni hinaafee ishee shakkee isheen xurooftuu hin taʼin,
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
15 inni niitii isaa lubatti haa geessu. Akkasumas inni kennaa daakuu garbuu iifii harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko qooda ishee haa geessu. Kennaan midhaanii kan sababii hinaaffaatiif dhiʼeeffamu kun waan kennaa yaadannoo kan yakka yaadachiisu taʼeef, inni zayitii fi ixaana itti naquu hin qabu.
he is to take her before the priest. He is also to take with him on her behalf an offering of one tenth of an ephath of barley flour. He must also bring for her an offering of an ephah of barley flour. He's not to pour olive oil over it or put frankincense on it, since it's a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to remind people about sin.
16 “‘Lubichis ishee fidee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ishee haa dhaabu.
The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
17 Ergasii inni bishaan qulqulluu okkotee supheetti haa naqu; lafa dunkaana qulqulluu irraa biyyoo fuudhee bishaan sana keessa haa buusu.
Then he shall fill a clay jar with holy water in a clay jar and sprinkle on it some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle.
18 Lubichis erga dubartii sana fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabee booddee rifeensa mataa ishee hiikee kennaa yaadannoo jechuunis kennaa midhaanii kan hinaaffaaf dhiʼeeffamu sana harka ishee keessa kaaʼa; bishaan hadhaaʼaa abaarsa fidu sanas harka ofiitti qabata.
Once the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall let her hair loose and have her hold the reminder grain offering—the grain offering used in cases of jealousy. The priest shall hold the bitter water that curses.
19 Lubichis dubartii sana ni kakachiisa; akkanas jedhaan; “Yoo utuu ati dhirsa qabduu namni biraa si wajjin hin ciisinii fi yoo ati karaa irraa baddee hin xuraaʼin bishaan hadhaaʼaan abaarsa fidu kun si hin miidhin.
He shall place the woman under oath and tell her, ‘If no one else has slept with you and you have not been unfaithful and become unclean while married to your husband, may you not be harmed by this bitter water that curses.
20 Garuu ati yoo karaa irraa baddee utuu dhirsa qabduu nama dhirsa kee hin taʼin wajjin ciiftee of xureessitee argamte;”
But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
21 kana irratti lubichi kakaa abaarsaa ishee kakachiisa; akkanas jedhaan; “Waaqayyo gudeeda kee tortorsee garaa kee illee bokoksee saba kee gidduutti kakaa fi abaarsaaf si haa godhu.
(Here the priest shall place the woman under the oath of the curse as follows.) “May the Lord place a curse on you that everyone knows about by having your thighs shrink and your belly swell up.
22 Akka garaan kee bokokuu fi akka gudeedni kee tortoruuf bishaan abaarsa fidu kun dhagna kee haa seenu.” “‘Dubartiin sunis, “Ameen, ameen” haa jettu.
May this water that curses go into your stomach and make your belly swell up and your thighs shrink.” The woman is to answer, “I agree, I agree.”
23 “‘Lubichis abaarsawwan sana kitaaba maramaa irratti haa barreessu; ergasiis bishaan hadhaaʼaa sanatti irraa haa dhiqu.
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
24 Innis akka dubartiin sun bishaan hadhaaʼaa abaarsa fidu sana dhugdu haa godhu; bishaan abaarsaa fi dhiphina hamaa fidu sunis ishee seena.
He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
25 Lubichis kennaa midhaanii kan hinaaffaa sana ishee harkaa fuudhee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sochoosee gara iddoo aarsaa fida.
The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
26 Lubni sunis kennaa midhaanii sana irraa konyee tokko kennaa yaadannootiif fuudhee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu; ergasiis akka dubartiin sun bishaan sana dhugdu haa godhu.
Then the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as a reminder portion and burn it on the altar, and make the woman drink the water.
27 Yoo isheen of xureessitee dhirsa isheetiif amanamuu baatte, yommuu isheen bishaan abaarsa fidu sana dhugdutti bishaan sun ishee seenee dhiphina hamaa isheetti fida; garaan ishee ni bokoka; gudeedni ishee ni tortora; isheenis saba ishee biratti abaaramtuu taati.
After he has made her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and has been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that curses will cause her bitter pain. Her belly will swell up and her thighs will shrink. She will become a cursed woman among her people.
28 Garuu yoo dubartiin sun of xureessuu baattee fi yoo qulqulluu taate isheen yakka irraa bilisa taati; daʼuus ni dandeessi.
But if the woman has not made herself unclean by being unfaithful and is clean, she will not experience this punishment and she will still be able to have children.
29 “‘Yoo dubartiin utuma dhirsa qabduu karaa irraa gortee of xureessite
This is the rule to follow in cases of jealousy when a wife has an affair and makes herself unclean while married to her husband,
30 yookaan yoo dhiirri sababii niitii ofii shakkuuf hafuurri hinaaffaa isa qabate, seerri hinaaffaaf kenname kanaa dha. Lubichi dubartii sana fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabee seera kana hunda ishee irratti haa raawwatu.
or when a husband starts feeling jealous and becomes suspicious of his wife. He shall have his wife stand before the Lord, and the priest is to carry out every part of this rule.
31 Dhirsi sun balleessaa irraa bilisa taʼa; dubartiin sun garuu gatii cubbuu ishee argatti.’”
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
