< Numbers 5 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “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.
“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.
3 Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
Ingata arũme o na andũ-a-nja; ũmaingate nja ya kambĩ nĩguo matigathaahie kambĩ yao kũrĩa niĩ ndũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
4 The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
Ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli meekire; makĩruta andũ acio nja ya kambĩ. Magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
5 The Lord told Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
6 “Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
“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,
7 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.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
Maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩrehagĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, marĩtuĩkaga make.
10 Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
Iheo cia o mũndũ iria nyamũre nĩ ciake we mwene, no kĩrĩa angĩhe mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, gĩgaatuĩka kĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio.’”
11 The Lord told Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
12 “Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũtumia wa mũndũ angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, atuĩke ti mwĩhokeku harĩ we
13 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.
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),
14 But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
na mũthuuriwe aiguĩre mũtumia wake ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre atĩ nĩethaahĩtie, kana amũiguĩre ũiru na amwĩkũũĩre o na akorwo atethaahĩtie,
15 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.
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.
16 The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
“‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatwara mũtumia ũcio amũrũgamie mbere ya Jehova.
17 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.
Acooke oe maaĩ maamũre marĩ ndigithũ-inĩ ya rĩũmba, na ahakũre rũkũngũ hau thĩ ya Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre arwĩkĩre maaĩ-inĩ macio.
18 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.
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.
19 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.
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.
20 But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
No angĩkorwo nĩũhĩngĩcanĩtie mĩthiĩre yaku ũrĩ na mũthuuri na ũgethaahia nĩ ũndũ wa gũkoma na mũndũ ũngĩ tiga mũthuuriguo-rĩ,”
21 (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.
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.
22 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.”
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.”
23 The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
“‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakandĩka irumi icio ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, acooke acithambĩrie maaĩ-inĩ macio marũrũ.
24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
Nĩagatũma mũtumia ũcio anyue maaĩ macio marũrũ marehaga kĩrumi, namo maaĩ macio mamũtoonye na matũme aigue ruo rũnene mũno.
25 The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
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.
26 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.
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.
27 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.
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.
28 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.
No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo mũtumia ũcio ndethaahĩtie na akorwo nĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ndagatuuo mũhĩtia, na nĩakahota kũgĩa na ciana.
29 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,
“‘Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa ũiru rĩrĩa mũtumia angĩhĩngĩcania mĩthiĩre yake, ethaahie o arĩ na mũthuuri,
30 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.
kana rĩrĩa mũndũ mũrũme angĩnyiitwo nĩ ũiru nĩ ũndũ nĩegwĩkũũa mũtumia ũcio wake. Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩmũrũgamagia mbere ya Jehova na arũmĩrĩre watho ũcio wothe.
31 If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
Mũthuuriwe nĩagatuuo ndarĩ na ihĩtia o na rĩrĩkũ, no mũtumia ũcio nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ mehia make.’”
