Nambar 5

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Ngansae man kami, kahoih thai ai takpum nathaih tawn kami hoi kaciim ai kadueh qok sui Israel kaminawk loe ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah suem ah;

Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;

3 ka ohhaih ahmuen amhnongsak han ai ah, to baktih nathaih tawn kami loe nongpa maw, nongpata maw ohhaih im tasa bangah suem ah, tiah a naa.

Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.

4 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah sak o; to baktih nathaih tawn kami loe ohhaih ahmuen tasa bangah a suek o.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.

5 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord said to Moses,

6 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; kaminawk mah sak o ih zaehaih to nongpa mah maw, nongpata mah maw, Angraeng hmaa ah oep om ai ah sak o pazae pongah, to kami to zaehaih tawn nahaeloe,

Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;

7 to kaminawk mah sak o ih zaehaih to taphong han oh; a sakpazae o pongah, a sakpazae o ih kami khaeah ahmuen pangato thungah ahmuen maeto thap ueloe, rong pae boih tih.

Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.

8 Toe kami maeto mah a sakpazae ih hmuen pongah, rong ih hmuen talawkkung om ai nahaeloe, to rong ih hmuen to Angraeng ih hmuen ah suek moe, qaima khaeah paek han oh; to pacoengah anih zaehaih loih thai hanah angbawnhaih sak hanah tuu tae to paek han oh.

But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.

9 Israel kaminawk mah qaima han sin ih ciimcai hmuennawk boih loe anih ih hmuen ah om tih.

And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.

10 Kami boih mah kaciim ah sin ih hmuennawk loe, anih ih hmuen ah om tih; kami mah qaima han paek ih tangqumnawk doeh anih ih hmuen ah om tih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa.

And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.

11 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord said to Moses,

12 Israel kaminawk han hae tiah lokthui paeh; kami maeto ih zu loe oep om ai pongah, loklam amkhraeng ving moe, a sava nuiah zaehaih a sak;

Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him

13 kami maeto mah to nongpata to iih haih, toe a sava khaeah thui ai ah angphat; to nongpata loe ciim ai boeh, toe anih hnukung om ai pongah, mi mah doeh a sak ih zaehaih to naeh thai ai,

By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;

14 toe sava mah a zu loe ciim ai boeh, tiah oep vawthaih to tawnh maw, to tih ai boeh loe a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih a tawnh, toe anih ih zu loe amhnonghaih tidoeh om ai to mah a sava mah anih nuiah palunghaenghaih tawn nahaeloe,

If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:

15 a sava mah a zu to qaima khaeah caeh haih ueloe, barli takaw dip ephah hato thungah maeto a zu ih zae angbawnhaih sak hanah sin tih; takaw dip nuiah situi bawh mak ai, a nuiah hmuihoih doeh thlaek mak ai; to baktih angbawnhaih loe zu nuiah palunghaeng pongah, sak ih angbawnhaih ah oh moe, zaehaih panoek hanah sak ih angbawnhaih ah doeh oh.

Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.

16 Qaima mah to nongpata to caeh haih ueloe, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak tih;

And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;

17 to naah qaima mah kaciim tui to long laom thungah lawn ueloe, anih mah kahni imthung ih maiphu to lak pacoengah, tui thungah phuih tih.

And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;

18 Qaima mah nongpata to Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak ueloe, nongpata ih lu to khuk pae hmoek tih; nongpata nuiah palunghaeng pongah zaehaih panoek hanah sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to a ban ah pasumsak tih; qaima mah tangoenghaih kaomsak thaih tui kakhaa to a ban ah sin tih.

And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;

19 Qaima mah nongpata to, Kaw baktih nongpa hoiah doeh na iip ai, oep om ai loklam ah doeh nam khraeng ai moe, na sava laep ah kalah nongpa hoiah takpum amhnonghaih to na sah ai nahaeloe, hae ih tangoenghaih kaomsak thaih tui kakhaa hae na nuiah pha hmah nasoe, tiah thui tih.

And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;

20 Toe na sava nuiah oep thok ai ah na oh moe, kalah nongpa hoiah loklam nam khraeng ving; na sava nuiah kalah nongpa hoiah na iih moe, na takpum to amhnong boeh nahaeloe,

But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

21 qaima mah nang loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah, Angraeng mah na phaih to zaeksak ueloe, na zok doeh bawksak tih, to tiah nang loe tangoenghaih zok kami ah na om tih, tiah nongpata khaeah thuih pae pacoengah, nongpata to tangoenghaih lok akamsak tih;

Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;

22 tangoenghaih kaomsak hae tui kakhaa hae na zok thungah akun naah, na phaih to zaeksak ueloe, na zok doeh baawk tih, tiah thui pae tih. To naah nongpata mah, Amen, to tiah om nasoe, tiah thui tih.

And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

23 Hae tangoenghaih lok loe qaima mah cabu thungah tarik ueloe, kakhaa tui hoiah phrae let tih;

And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;

24 qaima mah tangoenghaih kaomsak kakhaa tui to nongpata hanah naesak tih; nongpata ih zok thungah tangoenghaih kaomsak tui kakhaa akun naah, paroeai khaa pae tih.

And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.

25 To pacoengah qaima mah to nongpata ban ah sinsak ih palunghaeng pongah sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to la ueloe, Angraeng hmaa ah ahaek pacoengah, hmaicam nuiah suem tih.

And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;

26 Qaima mah zaehaih panoek han sak ih angbawnhaih takaw dip to ban tangsum maeto la ueloe, hmaicam nuiah hmai hoiah thlaek tih; to pacoengah to tui to nongpata hanah naesak tih.

And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.

27 To nongpata mah angmah ih sava nuiah zaehaih to sah moe, ciim ai boeh nahaeloe, tangoenghaih lokkam ih baktih toengah omsakkung tui kakhaa to naek naah, zok thungah tui to paroeai khaa tih; to naah a phaih to zaek ueloe, a zok doeh baawk tih; to naah to nongpata loe angmah ih kaminawk salakah tangoenghaih zok kami ah om tih.

And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

28 Toe nongpata loe ciimcai moe, amhnonghaih tidoeh om ai nahaeloe, anih loe zaehaih tawn ai pongah, caa sah let tih.

But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.

29 Hae loe zu mah oep kaom ai ah, kalah nongpa hoi loklam amkhraeng ving moe, sava nuiah ciimcai ai ah khosak naah maw, palunghaenghaih tawnh naah maw,

This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;

30 to tih ai boeh loe nongpa mah a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih tawnh naah maw, patoh ih kaalok ah oh; sava mah a zu nuiah palunghaenghaih tawnh naah, qaima mah nongpata to Angraeng hmaa ah angdoesak ueloe, hae ih kaalok baktih toengah nongpata to lokcaek tih.

Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.

31 To tiah sava loe zaehaih ciim ueloe, nongpata loe a zaehaih pongah danpaekhaih to zok tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
