Números 5

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "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 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 The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty, 7 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 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him. 9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. 10 Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’"

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13 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 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 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah*5:15 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel 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 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh. 17 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 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, 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 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 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 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, "May Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; 22 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 "‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness. 24 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 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar. 26 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 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 among her people. 28 If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.*5:28 or, seed

29 "‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled, 30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’"

Ngā Tāngata Poke

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Whakahaua ngā tama a Īharaira kia motuhia kētia atu ngā repera katoa i roto i te puni, ngā tāngata katoa e rere ana te pirau, me ngā tāngata katoa e poke ana i te tūpāpaku. 3 Ko te tāne, ko te wahine, me ngare atu, me ngare e koutou ki waho o te puni; kei poke i a rātou ō rātou puni e nohoia nei e ahau." 4 Nā, pērātia ana e ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, motuhia kētia ana rātou i roto i te puni; rite tonu ki tā Ihowā i kōrero ai ki a Mohi tā ngā tama a Īharaira i mea ai.

Te Whāki me te Utunga

5 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 6 "Mea atu ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Ki te mahia e te tangata, e te wahine rānei, tētahi mea e hara ai te tangata, hei mahi i te kino ki a Ihowā, ā, ka hē taua wairua; 7 nā, me whāki tō rātou hara i hara ai. Me whakahoki e ia te mea i hē ai ia, te tino mea, me tāpiri anō ki tōna whakarima, ka hoatu ai ki te tangata i hara nei ia ki a ia. 8 Otiia ki te kāhore he whanaunga o taua tangata hei hoatutanga mō te utu, me hoatu te utu mō te hara ki a Ihowā, arā ki te tohunga; hei tāpiri mō te hipi whakamārie hei whakamārie mōna. 9 Nā, ko ngā whakahere hapahapai katoa o ngā mea tapu katoa a ngā tama a Īharaira, e kawea ana ki te tohunga, māna ērā. 10 Māna ake ngā mea tapu a te tangata; ko tā te tangata e hoatu ai ki te tohunga, māna tēnā."

E Pā ana ki te Wahine Pūremu

11 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 12 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Ki te peka kē te wahine a tētahi tangata, ā, ka hara ki a ia, 13 ā, ka takoto, ka pūremu tētahi ki a ia, ā, ka ngaro i ngā kanohi o tāna tahu, ka huna, ā, ka poke te wahine, kāhore anō hoki he kaiwhakaatu mō tōna hē, kāhore anō ia i mau rawa. 14 Ā, ka tau ki a ia te wairua hae, ā, ka hae ia ki tāna wahine, ā, ka poke te wahine. Ki te tau rānei ki a ia te wairua hae, ā, ka hae ia ki tāna wahine kīhai nei i poke; 15 kātahi ka kawe taua tangata i tāna wahine ki te tohunga, me kawe anō e ia tā te wahine whakahere hei mea mōna, te whakatekau epa parāoa pārei. Kaua he hinu e ringihia ki runga, kaua anō he parakihe e hoatu ki runga; he whakahere totokore hoki mō te hae, he whakahere whakamahara, hei whakamahara ki te kino.

16 "Nā, ka nekehia mai ia e te tohunga, ā, ka whakatūria ki te aroaro o Ihowā. 17 Ā, ka mau te tohunga ki te wai tapu i te oko oneone; ka mau anō te tohunga ki tētahi wāhi o te puehu o te papa o te tapenākara, ka maka ai ki te wai. 18 Nā, ka whakatūria e te tohunga te wahine ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka tuku ngā makawe o te wahine kia mahora noa, ka hoatu ai i te whakahere whakamahara ki ōna ringa, arā i te whakahere totokore mō te hae. Hei te ringa ia o te tohunga te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga. 19 Nā, ka whakaoati te tohunga i a ia, ā, ka mea ki te wahine, ‘Ki te mea kāhore anō tētahi tangata i takoto ki a koe, ki te kāhore anō hoki koe i peka atu, i poke, i te mea i raro koe i tāu tāne, kia ora koe i tēnei wai kawa e tau ai te kanga. 20 Ki te mea ia kua peka kē koe, i te mea i raro koe i tāu tāne, ā, kua poke koe, ā, kua takoto ki a koe tētahi tangata ehara nei i te tāne nāu,’ 21 – kātahi ka whakaoati te tohunga i te wahine ki te oati kanga, ā, ka mea te tohunga ki te wahine – ‘mā Ihowā koe e mea hei kanga, hei oati i roto i tōu iwi, ina mea a Ihowā kia pirau tōu hūhā, kia pupuhi hoki tōu puku; 22 ā, ka tae ki roto ki ōu whēkau tēnei wai e tau ai te kanga, e pupuhi ai tōu puku, e pirau ai tōu hūhā.’

"Me kī te wahine, ‘Āmine, Āmine.’

23 "Ā, me tuhituhi ēnei kanga e te tohunga ki te pukapuka, ka horoi atu anō e ia ki roto ki te wai kawa. 24 Nā, ka whakainumia e ia te wahine ki te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga, ā, ka tae te wai e tau ai te kanga ki roto ki a ia, ka kawa.

25 "Me tango hoki e te tohunga te whakahere mō te hae i te ringa o te wahine, ā, ka poipoia te whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ka whakaherea ki runga ki te āta. 26 Nā, ka aohia e te tohunga tētahi wāhi o te whakahere, kia kī te ringa, ko tōna whakamaharatanga hoki, ā, ka tahuna ki runga ki te āta, ā muri iho ka whakainumia te wahine ki te wai. 27 Ā, ka oti ia te whakainu ki te wai, nā, ki te mea kua poke ia, kua hara ki tāna tahu, nā, ka tae ki roto ki a ia te wai e tau ai te kanga, ka kawa, ā, ka pupuhi tōna puku, ka pirau hoki tōna hūhā. Ā, hei mea kanga tēnā wahine i roto i tōna iwi. 28 Ā, ki te mea kīhai i poke te wahine, ā, e mā ana; nā, ka ora, ā, ka whai tamariki.

29 "Ko te ture tēnei mō ngā hae, mehemea te wahine, kei raro nei ia i tāna tāne, ka peka kē, ā, ka poke; 30 ina tau iho rānei te wairua hae ki tētahi, ā, ka hae ia ki tāna wahine. Nā, me whakatū taua wahine e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowā; nā, ka mahia e te tohunga tēnei ture katoa ki a ia. 31 Nā, ka kore he hē mō te tangata, ā, ka waha e taua wahine tōna kino."
