Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia motuhia ketia atu nga repera katoa i roto i te puni, nga tangata katoa e rere ana te pirau, me nga tangata katoa e poke ana i te tupapaku.
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.’”
Ko te tane, ko te wahine, me ngare atu, me ngare e koutou ki waho o te puni: kei poke i a ratou o ratou puni e nohoia nei e ahau.
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Na peratia ana e nga tama a Iharaira, a motuhia ketia ana ratou i roto i te puni: rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Mea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ki te mahia e te tangata, e te wahine ranei, tetahi mea e hara ai te tangata, hei mahi i te kino ki a Ihowa, a ka he taua wairua;
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.
Na me whaki to ratou hara i hara ai: me whakahoki e ia te mea i he ai ia, te tino mea, me tapiri ano ki tona whakarima, ka hoatu ai ki te tangata i hara nei ia ki a ia.
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).
Otiia ki te kahore he whanaunga o taua tangata hei hoatutanga mo te utu, me hoatu te utu mo te hara ki a Ihowa, ara ki te tohunga; hei tapiri mo te hipi whakamarie hei whakamarie mona.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Na, ko nga whakahere hapahapai katoa o nga mea tapu katoa a nga tama a Iharaira, e kawea ana ki te tohunga, mana era.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Mana ake nga mea tapu a te tangata: ko ta te tangata e hoatu ai ki te tohunga, mana tena.
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te peka ke te wahine a tetahi tangata, a ka hara ki a ia,
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
A ka takoto, ka puremu tetahi ki a ia, a ka ngaro i nga kanohi o tana tahu, ka huna, a ka poke te wahine, kahore ano hoki he kaiwhakaatu mo tona he, kahore ano ia i mau rawa;
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,
A ka tau ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine, a ka poke te wahine: ki te tau ranei ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine kihai nei i poke;
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.]
Katahi ka kawe taua tangata i tana wahine ki te tohunga, me kawe ano e ia ta te wahine whakahere hei mea mona, te whakatekau epa paraoa parei; kaua he hinu e ringihia ki runga, kaua ano he parakihe e hoatu ki runga; he whakahere totokore hoki mo te hae, he whakahere whakamahara, hei whakamahara ki te kino.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
Na ka nekehia mai ia e te tohunga, a ka whakaturia ki te aroaro o Ihowa:
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.
A ka mau te tohunga ki te wai tapu i te oko oneone; ka mau ano te tohunga ki tetahi wahi o te puehu o te papa o te tapenakara, ka maka ai ki te wai:
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].
Na ka whakaturia e te tohunga te wahine ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka tuku i nga makawe o te wahine kia mahora noa, ka hoatu ai i te whakahere whakamahara ki ona ringa, ara i te whakahere totokore mo te hae: hei te ringa ia o te tohunga te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:
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.
Na ka whakaoati te tohunga i a ia, a ka mea ki te wahine, Ki te mea kahore ano tetahi tangata i takoto ki a koe, ki te kahore ano hoki koe i peka atu, i poke, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, kia ora koe i tenei wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
Ki te mea ia kua peka ke koe, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, a kua poke koe, a kua takoto ki a koe tetahi tangata ehara nei i te tane nau:
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.”
Katahi ka whakaoati te tohunga i te wahine ki te oati kanga, a ka mea te tohunga ki te wahine, Ma Ihowa koe e mea hei kanga, hei oati i roto i tou iwi, ina mea a Ihowa kia pirau tou huha, kia pupuhi hoki tou puku;
A ka tae ki roto ki ou whekau tenei wai e tau ai te kanga, e pupuhi ai tou puku, e pirau ai tou huha: me ki te wahine, Amine, Amine.
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].
A me tuhituhi enei kanga e te tohunga ki te pukapuka, ka horoi atu ano e ia ki roto ki te wai kawa:
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
Na ka whakainumia e ia te wahine ki te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga, a ka tae te wai e tau ai te kanga ki roto ki a ia, ka kawa.
Me tango hoki e te tohunga te whakahere mo te hae i te ringa o te wahine, a ka poipoia te whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka whakaherea ki runga ki te aata:
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Na ka aohia e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te whakahere, kia ki te ringa, ko tona whakamaharatanga hoki, a ka tahuna ki runga ki te aata, a muri iho ka whakainumia te wahine ki te wai.
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.
A ka oti ia te whakainu ki te wai, na ki te mea kua poke ia, kua hara ki tana tahu, na ka tae ki roto ki a ia te wai e tau ai te kanga, ka kawa, a ka pupuhi tona puku, ka pirau hoki tona huha: a hei mea kanga tena wahine i roto i tona iwi.
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.
A ki te mea kihai i poke te wahine, a e ma ana; na ka ora, a ka whai tamariki.
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
Ko te ture tenei mo nga hae, mehemea te wahine, kei raro nei ia i tana tane, ka peka ke, a ka poke;
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.
Ina tau iho ranei te wairua hae ki tetahi, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine; na me whakatu taua wahine e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa; na ka mahia e te tohunga tenei ture katoa ki a ia.
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.’”
Na ka kore he he mo te tangata, a ka waha e taua wahine tona kino.
