Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 “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.
-Bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo mete deyò nan kan kote yo rete a tout moun ki gen move maladi po, moun ki gen ekoulman, osinon moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye paske yo manyen kadav moun mouri.
3 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.’”
Wi, se pou nou mete tout moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' yo deyò nan kan an, fanm kou gason, pou yo pa mete kan kote m'ap viv nan mitan pèp mwen an nan kondisyon li pa ka sèvi m'.
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa Seyè a te di Moyiz la. Yo mete tout moun sa yo deyò nan kan kote yo rete a.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
6 “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.
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Lè yon gason osinon yon fanm pa kenbe pawòl l' ak Seyè a, l' al fè yon bagay mal kont yon moun, l' antò.
7 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.
Moun ki antò a va rekonèt devan tout moun li te fè yon bagay mal, epi li va renmèt tout sa l' te pran an bay moun li te fè tò a plis vin pou san (20%) lavalè.
8 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).
Men, si moun li te fè tò a mouri san li pa kite yon fanmi pre ki pou resevwa sa y'ap renmèt l' a, y'a pran sa l'ap renmèt la, y'a ofri l' bay Seyè a pou prèt yo. Apre sa, moun lan ap toujou gen pou l' ofri bay Bondye yon belye mouton pou repare sa l' te fè ki mal la.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Tout ofrann moun Izrayèl yo mete apa pou Seyè a va rete pou prèt y' al jwenn pou fè ofrann lan.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Tout ofrann yon moun pote bay prèt la va rete pou prèt la. Tou sa yon moun pote renmèt va rete pou prèt la tou.
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. W'a di yo pou mwen: Sipoze madanm yon nonm lage kò l' nan dezòd, epi l'ap twonpe mari l',
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
si li kouche ak yon lòt gason san mari l' pa konn sa, si li te kache kò l' pandan li t'ap fè bagay ki mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa ka fè sèvis pou Bondye a, kifè pa gen temwen ki pou pale kont li, ni yo pa t' kenbe l' nan men,
14 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,
osinon si yon mari vin sispèk madanm li nan dezòd, kifè madanm lan pa nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye, kit madanm lan fè l' vre, kit li pa fè l',
15 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.]
nonm lan va mennen madanm lan bay prèt la, epi l'a pote ofrann madanm lan gen pou fè nan ka sa a: se va de liv farin lòj. Li p'ap bezwen vide lwil sou li, ni li p'ap bezwen mete lansan sou li, paske se yon ofrann l'ap fè paske li sispèk kichòy, se yon ofrann l'ap fè pou l' ka konn verite a.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
Apre sa, prèt la va fè madanm lan pwoche vin kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a.
17 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.
Prèt la va pran ti gout dlo nan kivèt la, l'a mete l' nan yon veso fèt an fè, l'a pran yon priz pousyè tè nan Tant Randevou a, l'a mete l' nan dlo a.
18 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].
Lèfini, l'a fè madanm lan kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, l'a wete twal ki sou tèt madanm lan, epi l'a mete ofrann farin lan nan de pla men l' yo. Prèt la menm va kenbe nan men l' veso ki gen dlo anmè a, dlo ki bay madichon an.
19 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.
Prèt la va mande madanm lan pou li sèmante. L'a di l' konsa: Si ou pa kouche avèk okenn lòt gason pase avèk mari ou, si ou pa lage kò ou nan dezòd ki pou ta mete ou nan kondisyon pou ou pa ka fè sèvis pou Bondye, ou mèt bwè dlo anmè sa a, dlo ki bay madichon an, anyen p'ap rive ou.
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
Men, si ou te lage kò ou nan dezòd vre, si ou pa nan kondisyon pou ou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske ou te kouche ak yon gason ki pa mari ou,
21 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.”
se pou Seyè a fè tout moun pran non ou pou bay madichon. Se pou l' fè ou pa ka janm fè pitit. Se pou vant ou anfle.
Se pou dlo anmè ki bay madichon an antre nan vant ou pou fè l' anfle, pou l' fè ou pa ka janm fè pitit. Madanm lan va reponn: -Mwen dakò. Se pou Seyè a fè m' sa vre, si m' antò!
23 ‘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].
Lè sa a, prèt la va ekri sèman an yon kote, epi l'a lave kote li te ekri a ak dlo anmè a pou efase sa l' te ekri a.
24 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
Apre sa, l'a fè madanm lan bwè dlo anmè ki bay madichon an, pou dlo a pase nan kò l' ba li gwo doulè nan vant.
Prèt la va pran ofrann farin lan nan men madanm lan, l'a balanse l' devan Seyè a tankou yon ofrann, epi l'a mete l' sou lotèl la.
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Apre sa, l'a pran yon ponyen nan farin lan, l'a ofri l' bay Bondye, l'a boule l' sou lotèl la. Se konsa l'a mete tout farin lan nèt apa pou Seyè a. Apre sa, l'a fè fanm lan bwè dlo a.
27 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.
Si fanm lan te antò vre, si li te twonpe mari l', dlo a va desann nan kò l', l'a ba li gwo doulè. Vant li va anfle, li p'ap janm ka fè pitit ankò, epi non l' va sèvi pou bay madichon.
28 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.
Men, si fanm lan inonsan, si li te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, anyen p'ap rive l', l'ap toujou ka fè pitit.
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
Se regleman sa a pou yo swiv lè yon fanm pran gason sou mari l', lè li lage kò l' nan dezòd pou l' fè sa li pa t' dwe fè,
30 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.
osinon lè yon nonm sispèk madanm l' ap twonpe l'. L'a mennen madanm lan devan lotèl Seyè a, epi prèt la va fè sèvis sa a pou madanm lan.
31 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.’”
Mari a p'ap reskonsab anyen ki ka rive madanm lan. Men madanm lan, si l' antò, va pote chay peche l' la.
