Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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.
“Ke ke fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kenau tuku kituaʻā mei he ʻapitanga ʻae kilia kotoa pē, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku fānoa ai ha meʻa, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaʻuli ʻe he mate.
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.’”
ʻAe tangata mo e fefine ke mou tuku kituaʻā, ke mou tuku ʻakinautolu ki he tuaʻā ʻoe ʻapitanga: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakaʻuli honau ʻapitanga, ʻaia ʻoku ou nofo ai, ʻi hono lotolotonga.”
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau tuku ʻakinautolu kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe pehē ʻae fai ʻene fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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.
Ke ke fakahā ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻOka fai ʻe ha tangata pe ʻe ha fefine ʻae angahala ʻoku fai ʻe he kakai, ke fai ha talangataʻa kia Sihova, pea halaia moʻoni ʻae tokotaha ko ia;
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.
Tenau toki vete ʻenau angahala ʻaia kuo nau fai; pea te ne totongi ʻene angahala ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku na tatau, pea ne fakalahi ki ai ʻaki ʻa hono vahe nima, pea te ne foaki ia kiate ia naʻa ne fai kovi ki ai.
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).
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha kāinga ʻoe tangata ʻoku totongi ki ai ʻae fai kovi, tuku ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ʻoe fai kovi kia Sihova, ʻio, ki he taulaʻeiki; ko e fakalahi eni ʻoe sipitangata ʻoe feilaulau fakalelei ʻaia ʻe fai ʻaki ha fakalelei koeʻuhi ko ia.
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
Pea ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo nau ʻomi ki he taulaʻeiki, ʻe ʻaʻana ia.
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo fakatapui, ʻe ʻaʻana ia: pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻe foaki ʻe ha tangata ki he taulaʻeiki ʻe ʻaʻana ia.
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“Ke ke fakahā ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, kapau ʻe afe ʻae uaifi ʻo ha tangata, ʻo fai meʻa kovi kiate ia,
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo ia, pea fakafufū ia mei he mata ʻo hono husepāniti, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakahā, pea kuo ne ʻuliʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke tukuakiʻi ia, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ki ai ha taha;
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,
Pea kapau ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae laumālie fakahoa, pea te ne fuaʻa ki hono uaifi, ka kuo ne ʻuliʻi: pea kapau ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakahoa, pea te ne fuaʻa ki hono uaifi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻuliʻi ia:
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.]
ʻE toki ʻomi ʻe he tangata hono uaifi ki he taulaʻeiki, pea te ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene feilaulau ʻaʻana, ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe efa ʻoe paʻale kuo momosi; ʻe ʻikai te ne lilingi ʻae lolo ki ai, pe tuku ʻae laipeno ki ai; he ko e feilaulau eni ʻoe fuaʻa, ko e feilaulau ke fakamanatu, ke fakamanatuʻi ai ʻae angahala.
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
Pea ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ke ofi, pea ʻe tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova:
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.
Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae vai tapu ʻi ha ipu ʻumea; pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae efu mei he faliki ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻo ʻai ia ki he vai.
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].
Pea ʻe tuku ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fefine ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe tatala ʻae ʻulu ʻoe fefine, pea ʻe tuku ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakamanatu ki hono nima, ʻaia ko e feilaulau ʻoe fuaʻa: pea ʻe ʻi he nima ʻoe taulaʻeiki ʻae vai kona, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae malaʻia:
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.
Pea ʻe tuku ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ke fuakava, ʻo ne pehē ki he fefine, “Kapau naʻe ʻikai te mo mohe mo ha tangata, pea kapau naʻe ʻikai te ke afe ke ʻuliʻi ko e mo ha taha ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti, te ke ʻataʻatā ko e mei he vai kona ni ʻoku tupu ai ʻae malaʻia:
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
Pea kapau kuo ke afe ki ha tokotaha, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti, pea kapau kuo ke ʻuliʻi koe, pea kuo mo mohe mo ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti:
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.”
(Pea ʻe toki tuku ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fefine ke fuakava ki he malaʻia, pea ʻe pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he fefine), ʻE tuku ko e ʻe Sihova ko e malaʻia, pea mo e fuakavaʻanga ʻi ho kakai, ʻoka ngaohi ko e ʻe Sihova ke popo ho tenga, pea pupula ho kete;”
Pea ko e vai ni ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae malaʻia, ʻe hū ia ki ho fatu, pea ʻe pupula ai ho kete, pea popo ai ho tenga. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “ʻEmeni, ʻEmeni.’
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].
Pea ʻe tohi ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni ʻi ha tohi, pea te ne holoholoʻi ia ke ʻosi ʻaki ʻae vai kona:
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
Pea te ne tuku ʻae fefine ke ne inu ʻae vai kona, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae malaʻia; pea ko e vai kuo tupu ai ʻae malaʻia ʻe hū kiate ia; pea toki hoko ʻo kona.
Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he taulaʻeiki mei he nima ʻoe fefine ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fuaʻa, pea te ne taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea hili ia ki he funga feilaulauʻanga:
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki mei he feilaulau ha falukunga, ʻio, ko hono fakamanatu ʻo ia, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga, pea hili ia te ne tuku ʻae fefine ke ne inu ʻae vai.
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.
Pea ʻoka ne ka tuku ʻae fefine ke ne inu ʻae vai, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau kuo fakaʻuliʻi ia, ʻi heʻene fai meʻa kovi ki hono husepāniti, ko e vai ʻoku tupu ai ʻae malaʻia ʻe hū ia kiate ia, pea hoko ʻo kona, pea ʻe pupula hono kete, pea ʻe popo hono tenga: pea ʻe malaʻia ʻae fefine ʻi hono kakai.
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.
Pea kapau kuo ʻikai fakaʻuliʻi ia, ka ʻoku maʻa pe; ʻe toki ʻataʻatā ia, pea ʻe faʻa tuituʻia ia.
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
Ko eni ʻae fono ʻoe fuaʻa ʻoka afe atu ʻae fefine ki ha taha kae tuku ʻa hono husepāniti, pea ʻoku ʻuli ai ia.
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.
Pea ʻoka tō ki he tangata ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakahoa, pea te ne fuaʻa ki hono uaifi, te ne tuku ʻae fefine ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki kiate ia ʻae fono ni kotoa pē.
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.’”
Pea ʻe toki ʻataʻatā ʻae tangata mei he angahala, pea ʻe fua ʻe he fefine ni ʻene angahala.
