Hesabu 5
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Waamuru Waisraeli kumtoa nje ya kambi mtu yeyote ambaye ana ugonjwa wa ngozi uambukizao, au anayetokwa na majimaji ya aina yoyote, au ambaye ni najisi kwa utaratibu wa ibada kwa sababu ya maiti.
“Instruct the sons of Israel to cast out of the camp every leper, and those who have a flow of seed, and those who have been polluted because of the dead;
3 Hii itakuwa ni kwa wote, yaani, wanaume na wanawake; watoeni nje ya kambi ili wasije wakanajisi kambi yao, ambamo ninaishi miongoni mwao.”
cast out of the camp both male and female, lest they contaminate it while I am dwelling with you.”
4 Waisraeli wakafanya hivyo; wakawatoa nje ya kambi. Wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amemwelekeza Mose.
And the sons of Israel did so, and they cast them out, beyond the camp, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 “Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Wakati mwanaume au mwanamke akimkosea mwenzake kwa njia yoyote, na kwa hivyo akawa si mwaminifu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ana hatia,
“Say to the sons of Israel: A man or a woman, when they have done anything out of all the sins that often befall men, or if, by negligence, they have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and so have committed an offense,
7 na ni lazima atubu dhambi aliyoifanya. Ni lazima atoe malipo kamili kwa ajili ya kosa lake, aongeze sehemu ya tano juu ya malipo hayo na kutoa yote kwa mtu aliyemkosea.
they shall confess their sin, and they shall restore the principle itself, plus a fifth part above it, to any against whom they have sinned.
8 Lakini ikiwa mtu huyo hana jamaa ya karibu ambaye malipo yanaweza kufanywa kwa ajili ya kosa, malipo yatakuwa mali ya Bwana, nayo ni lazima apewe kuhani, pamoja na kondoo dume ambaye anatumika kufanyia upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
But if there would be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be for the priest, except for the ram, which is offered for expiation, in order to be a pleasing victim.
9 Matoleo yote matakatifu ya Waisraeli wanayoleta kwa kuhani yatakuwa yake.
Likewise, all the first-fruits, which the sons of Israel offer, belong to the priest,
10 Kila kitu cha mtu kilichowekwa wakfu ni chake mwenyewe, lakini kile atoacho kwa kuhani kitakuwa cha kuhani.’”
with whatever is offered by each one at the Sanctuary, and which is delivered into the hands of the priest; it shall be his.”
11 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Nena na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mke wa mtu amepotoka na si mwaminifu kwa mumewe,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man whose wife will have gone astray, and, disdaining her husband,
13 kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine, tendo hili likafichika kwa mumewe na unajisi wake usigundulike (kwa kuwa hakuna ushahidi dhidi yake, naye hakukamatwa katika tendo hilo),
will have slept with another man, and if her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and if it cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not caught in the shameful act,
14 nazo hisia za wivu zikamjia mumewe na kumshuku mkewe, naye mke yule ni najisi, au mumewe ana wivu na akamshuku ingawa si najisi,
if the spirit of jealousy stirs up the husband against his wife, who either has been polluted or is being assailed with a false suspicion,
15 basi atampeleka mkewe kwa kuhani. Huyo mume itampasa apeleke pia sadaka ya unga wa shayiri kiasi cha sehemu ya kumi ya efa kwa niaba ya mkewe. Huyo mwanaume kamwe asimimine mafuta juu ya huo unga wala asiweke uvumba juu yake, kwa sababu ni sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu, sadaka ya ukumbusho ili kukumbushia uovu.
he shall bring her to the priest, and he shall offer an oblation for her, a tenth part of native barley meal. He shall not pour oil over it, nor shall he place frankincense on it, because it is a sacrifice for jealousy, or an oblation investigating adultery.
16 “‘Kuhani atamleta huyo mwanamke na kumsimamisha mbele za Bwana.
Therefore, the priest shall offer it, and he shall set it in the sight of the Lord.
17 Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya maji matakatifu ndani ya gudulia la udongo na kuchanganya na baadhi ya vumbi kutoka sakafu ya Maskani.
And he shall take up holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth from the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
18 Baada ya kuhani kumsimamisha huyo mwanamke mbele za Bwana, atazifungua nywele za huyo mwanamke na kuweka sadaka ya ukumbusho mikononi mwake, ile sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu, huku kuhani mwenyewe akishikilia yale maji machungu yaletayo laana.
And while the woman stands before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and he shall place over her hands the sacrifice of recollection and oblation of jealousy. But he shall take hold of the most bitter waters, in which he has gathered curses with loathing.
19 Kisha kuhani atamwapiza huyo mwanamke, akimwambia, “Ikiwa hakuna mwanaume mwingine aliyekutana kimwili nawe, wala hujapotoka na kuwa najisi wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mumeo, maji haya machungu yaletayo laana na yasikudhuru.
And he shall bind her by an oath, and he shall say: ‘If another man has not slept with you, and if you have not been polluted by forsaking the bed of your husband, these most bitter waters, into which I have gathered curses, shall not harm you.
20 Lakini ikiwa umepotoka wakati ukiwa umeolewa na mume wako na umejinajisi mwenyewe kwa kukutana kimwili na mwanaume mwingine asiyekuwa mumeo”;
But if you have turned away from your husband, and also have been defiled, and have lain together with another man,
21 hapa kuhani atamweka huyo mwanamke chini ya laana ya kiapo akisema: “Bwana na awafanye watu wako wakulaani na kukukataa, wakati Bwana atakapolifanya paja lako kupooza na tumbo lako kuvimba.
these curses shall be thrown upon you: May the Lord turn you into a curse and an example among all his people. May he cause your thigh to rot, and may your abdomen swell up and burst out.
22 Maji haya yaletayo laana na yaingie ndani ya mwili wako ili tumbo lako livimbe na paja lako lipooze.” “‘Kisha mwanamke atasema, “Amen. Iwe hivyo.”
May the cursed waters enter into your stomach, and may your womb swell and your thigh rot.’ And the woman shall respond: ‘Amen, amen.’
23 “‘Kuhani ataandika laana hizi kwenye kitabu, kisha atazioshea laana hizo kwenye yale maji machungu.
And the priest shall write these curses in a little book, and then he shall erase them with the very bitter waters, into which he had gathered the curses,
24 Kuhani atamnywesha yule mwanamke yale maji machungu yaletayo laana, nayo maji haya yatamwingia na kumsababishia maumivu makali.
and he shall give it to her to drink. And when she has emptied it,
25 Kuhani atachukua sadaka ya nafaka kwa ajili ya wivu kutoka mikononi mwa huyo mwanamke, naye ataipunga mbele za Bwana na kuileta madhabahuni.
the priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and he shall elevate it before the Lord, and he shall impose it upon the altar. Yet only after he first
26 Kisha kuhani atachota sadaka ya nafaka mkono uliojaa kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu, baada ya hayo, atamtaka huyo mwanamke anywe yale maji.
takes a handful of the sacrifice from that which is offered, and burns it upon the altar, and then he may give the most bitter waters to the woman as a drink.
27 Kama amejitia unajisi na kukosa uaminifu kwa mumewe, wakati anapotakiwa anywe maji yale yaletayo laana, yatamwingia na kusababisha maumivu makali; tumbo lake litavimba na paja lake litapooza, naye atakuwa amelaaniwa miongoni mwa watu wake.
And when she drinks it, if she has been defiled, and, having despised her husband, is guilty of adultery, the curse shall pass through her, and as her belly swells up, her thigh shall decay, and the woman shall become a curse and an example to all the people.
28 Hata hivyo, ikiwa huyo mwanamke hakujitia unajisi, naye ni safi, atasafishwa hatia na ataweza kuzaa watoto.
But if she has not been defiled, she shall be unharmed and she shall bear children.
29 “‘Basi, hii ndiyo sheria ya wivu mwanamke anapopotoka na kujitia unajisi akiwa ameolewa na mumewe,
This is the law for jealousy. If a woman has turned aside from her husband, and if she has been polluted,
30 au hisia za wivu zinapomjia mwanaume kwa sababu ya kumshuku mkewe. Kuhani atamfanya huyo mwanamke kusimama mbele za Bwana na atatumia sheria hii yote kwa huyo mwanamke.
and if the husband, being stirred up by the spirit of jealousy, has brought her before the sight of the Lord, and the priest has acted toward her according to all that has been written:
31 Mume atakuwa hana hatia ya kosa lolote, bali mwanamke atayachukua matokeo ya dhambi yake.’”
then the husband shall be without guilt, and she shall bear her iniquity.”
