Amanani 5
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi bakhuphe enkambeni wonke umlephero, laye wonke olokugobhoza, laye wonke ongcolileyo ngofileyo.
“Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse.
3 Kusukela kowesilisa kusiya kowesifazana lizabakhupha, kuze kube ngaphandle kwenkamba lizabakhupha, ukuze bangangcolisi izinkamba zabo, engihlala phakathi kwazo.
You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
4 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njalo, babakhupha baze baba ngaphandle kwenkamba; njengokutsho kweNkosi kuMozisi, benza njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as the LORD spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
5 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Indoda kumbe umfazi, uba besenza loba yisiphi isono somuntu, ngokuphambeka isiphambeko eNkosini, lowomuntu ulecala.
“Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against the LORD, and that soul is guilty,
7 Njalo bazavuma isono sabo abasenzileyo, abesehlawula icala lakhe ngokupheleleyo kwalo, engezelele phezu kwalo ingxenye yesihlanu yalo, anike lowo alecala kuye.
then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
8 Kodwa uba lowomuntu engelamhlengi oyisihlobo okungahlawulwa kuso icala, icala lizahlawulwa eNkosini kube ngokompristi, ngaphandle kwenqama yenhlawulo yokuthula, azamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngayo.
But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to the LORD shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
9 Lawo wonke umnikelo wazo zonke izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abaziletha kumpristi, uzakuba ngowakhe.
Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
10 Lezinto ezingcwele zawo wonke umuntu zizakuba ngezakhe; lokhu loba ngubani akunika umpristi kuzakuba ngokwakhe.
Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”
11 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Loba yiyiphi indoda, uba umkayo eduha, ngokungathembeki kuyo enze isenzo sokungathembeki,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
13 lendoda ilala laye ngobudoda bokuhlangana, njalo kufihlakale emehlweni endoda yakhe, angabonwa, yena ungcolisiwe, njalo kungelamfakazi omelana laye, futhi yena engabanjwanga,
and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;
14 lomoya wobukhwele ufike phezu kwayo, futhi ibe lobukhwele ngomkayo, njalo yena engcolisiwe, loba umoya wobukhwele ufike phezu kwayo, futhi ibe lobukhwele ngomkayo, lanxa yena engangcolanga,
and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled;
15 indoda izaletha umkayo kumpristi, imlethele umnikelo wakhe, okwetshumi kwe-efa lempuphu yebhali; kayiyikuthela amafutha kuyo, ingabeki inhlaka phezu kwayo, ngoba kungumnikelo wokudla wobukhwele, umnikelo wokudla wesikhumbuzo, ukukhumbuza ububi.
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an efah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
16 Umpristi uzasondeza-ke owesifazana, ammise phambi kweNkosi.
The priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD.
17 Umpristi athathe amanzi angcwele embizeni yebumba, lompristi athathe okothuli oluphansi ethabhanekeleni, akufake emanzini.
The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
18 Umpristi uzamisa owesifazana phambi kweNkosi, embule ikhanda lowesifazana, abeke ezandleni zakhe umnikelo wokudla wokukhumbuza, ongumnikelo wokudla wobukhwele. Lesandleni sompristi kuzakuba lamanzi ababayo aletha isiqalekiso.
The priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
19 Umpristi uzamfungisa-ke, athi kowesifazana: Uba kungelandoda elele lawe, njalo uba ungaduhelanga ekungcoleni, uphansi kwendoda yakho, khululeka emanzini la ababayo aletha isiqalekiso.
The priest shall cause her to take an oath and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
20 Kodwa wena, uba uduhile, uphansi kwendoda yakho, futhi uba ungcolisiwe, lendoda yahlangana lawe, ngaphandle kwendoda yakho,
But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—”
21 umpristi amfungise owesifazana ngesifungo sesiqalekiso, umpristi athi kuye: INkosi kayikwenze ube yisiqalekiso lesifungo phakathi kwabantu bakini, lapho iNkosi isenza ithangazi lakho liwe, lesisu sakho sikhukhumale.
then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May the LORD make you a curse and an oath amongst your people, when the LORD allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
22 Lamanzi la aletha isiqalekiso kawangene emibilini yakho, akwenze isisu sikhukhumale lokwenza ithangazi liwe. Owesifazana abesesithi: Ameni, Ameni.
and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”
23 Umpristi uzabhala-ke iziqalekiso lezi egwalweni, azesule ngamanzi ababayo,
“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness.
24 anathise owesifazana amanzi ababayo aletha isiqalekiso, lamanzi aletha isiqalekiso azangena kuye, abe ngokubabayo.
He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
25 Umpristi uzathatha-ke esandleni sowesifazana umnikelo wokudla wobukhwele, awuzunguze umnikelo wokudla phambi kweNkosi, awusondeze elathini,
The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 umpristi acuphe isandla esigcweleyo somnikelo wokudla, sibe yisikhumbuzo sawo, asitshise elathini, lemva kwalokho amnathise owesifazana amanzi.
The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 Esemnathisile amanzi, kuzakuthi uba engcolile, enze ngokungathembeki isenzo sokungathembeki endodeni yakhe, amanzi aletha isiqalekiso esengenile kuye abe ngokubabayo, isisu sakhe sizakhukhumala lethangazi lakhe liwe, lowesifazana uzakuba yisiqalekiso phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse amongst her people.
28 Kodwa uba owesifazana engangcolanga, kodwa ehlambulukile, uzakhululeka, uzakwemukela inhlanyelo.
If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
29 Lo ngumlayo wobukhwele, lapho umfazi eduha, ephansi kwendoda yakhe, abesengcoliswa,
“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
30 kumbe indoda, uba umoya wobukhwele ufika phezu kwayo ibe lobukhwele ngomkayo; immise owesifazana phambi kweNkosi, lompristi enze kuye umlayo lo wonke.
or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 Indoda izakhululeka-ke ecaleni, kodwa lowo owesifazana uzathwala icala lakhe.
The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
