Resansman 5

1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,

2 -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.

“Command the people of Israel to send away from the camp everyone with an infectious skin disease, and everyone who has an oozing sore, and whoever is unclean through touching a dead body.

3 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'.

Whether male or female, you must send them out of the camp. They must not defile the camp, because I live in it.”

4 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.

The people of Israel did so. They sent them out of the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses. The people of Israel obeyed Yahweh.

5 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,

6 -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.

“Speak to the people of Israel. When a man or woman commits any sin such as people do to one another, and is unfaithful to me, that person is guilty.

7 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.

Then he must confess the sin that he has done. He must completely pay back the price of his guilt and add to the price one-fifth more. He must give this to the one he has wronged.

8 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.

But if the wronged person has no close relative to receive the payment, he must pay the price for his guilt to me through a priest, along with a ram to atone for himself.

9 Tout ofrann moun Izrayèl yo mete apa pou Seyè a va rete pou prèt y' al jwenn pou fè ofrann lan.

Every offering of the people of Israel, the things that are set aside and brought to the priest by the people of Israel, will belong to him.

10 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.

The offerings of every person will be for the priest; if anyone gives anything to the priest, it will belong to him.”

11 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,

12 -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',

“Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Suppose that a man's wife turns away and sins against her husband.

13 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,

Then suppose that another man sleeps with her. In that case, she is defiled. Even if her husband does not see it or know about it, and even if no one catches her in the act and there is no one to testify against her,

14 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',

nevertheless, a spirit of jealousy might still inform the husband that his wife is defiled. However, a spirit of jealousy might falsely come on a man when his wife is not defiled.

15 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.

In such cases, the man must bring his wife to the priest. The husband must take an offering required on her behalf, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He must pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering for remembering, as a reminder of the iniquity.

16 Apre sa, prèt la va fè madanm lan pwoche vin kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a.

The priest must bring her near and place her before Yahweh.

17 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.

The priest must take a jar of holy water and take dust from the floor of the tabernacle. He must put the dust into the water.

18 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.

The priest will set the woman before Yahweh and he will untie the hair on the woman's head. He will put into her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of suspicion. The priest will hold in his hand the bitter water that can bring a curse.

19 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.

The priest will put the woman under an oath and say to her, 'If no other man had sexual relations with you, and if you have not gone astray and committed impurity, then you will be free from this bitter water that can bring a curse.

20 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,

But if you, a woman under her husband, have gone astray, if you are defiled, and if some other man has slept with you,

21 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.

then, (the priest must cause the woman to swear an oath that can bring down a curse on her, and then he must continue speaking to the woman) 'Yahweh will make you into a curse that will be shown to your people to be such. This will happen if Yahweh causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell.

22 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!

This water that brings the curse will go into your stomach and make your abdomen swell and your thighs waste away.' The woman is to reply, 'Yes, let that happen if I am guilty.'

23 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.

The priest must write these curses on a scroll, and then he must wash away the written curses into the bitter water.

24 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.

The priest must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the curse. The water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter.

25 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.

The priest must take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand. He must hold up the grain offering before Yahweh and bring it to the altar.

26 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.

The priest must take a handful of the grain offering as a representative offering, and burn it on the altar. Then he must give the woman the bitter water to drink.

27 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.

When he gives her the water to drink, if she is defiled because she has committed a sin against her husband, then the water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter. Her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away. The woman will be cursed among her people.

28 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.

But if the woman is not defiled and if she is clean, then she must be free. She will be able to conceive children.

29 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,

This is the law of jealousy. It is the law for a woman who strays away from her husband and is defiled.

30 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.

It is the law for a man with a spirit of jealousy when he is jealous of his wife. He must bring the woman before Yahweh, and the priest must do to her everything that this law of jealousy describes.

31 Mari a p'ap reskonsab anyen ki ka rive madanm lan. Men madanm lan, si l' antò, va pote chay peche l' la.

The man will be free from guilt for bringing his wife to the priest. The woman must bear any guilt she might have.”
