Daahirkii Xerada

Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad reer binu Israa'iil amar ku tidhaahdaa, Xerada ka saara mid kasta oo baras qaba, iyo mid kasta oo dheecaan ka dareera, iyo mid kasta oo meyd ku nijaasoobay. Oo waa inaad rag iyo dumarba bixisaan, oo aad xerada dibaddeeda geeysaan si aanay u nijaasayn xeradooda aan anigu dhex deggan ahay. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna sidaasay yeeleen, oo iyagii xerada dibaddeeday geeyeen, oo sidii Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay ayaa reer binu Israa'iil yeeleen.

Magdhawgii Xadgudubka

Oo haddana ayaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Haddii nin ama naagu ay galaan dembi ay dadku galaan, oo ay Rabbiga ku xadgudbaan, oo ay naftaasu sidaas eed ku lahaato, markaas waa inay qirtaan dembigoodii ay sameeyeen. Oo wixii uu ku xadgudbay waa inuu dhammaan u magdhabaa, oo weliba ku sii daraa shan meelood meesheed, oo siiyaa kii uu ku xadgudbay. Laakiinse ninku hadduusan lahayn xigto xadgudubkii mag laga siiyo, markaas magta xadgudubka ee Rabbiga loo bixiyo waxaa lahaan doona wadaadka; oo weliba waxaa wehliya wanka kafaaraggudka oo isaga aawadiis loogu kafaaro gudo. Oo qurbaan kasta oo sare loo qaado oo ah waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo dhan ee ay reer binu Israa'iil wadaadka u keenaan waa in isagu lahaadaa. 10 Oo nin walba waxyaalihiisa quduuska ah waa in wadaadku lahaadaa, oo wax alla wixii nin wadaadka siiyana isagu waa inuu lahaadaa.

Imtixaamiddii Naagta Aan Aamminka Ahayn

11 Oo haddana ayaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 12 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Haddii nin naagtiis isaga ka tagto oo ay ku xadgudubto, 13 oo haddii nin kale la jiifsado oo waxaas ninkeedii laga qariyo oo qarsoodi loo haysto, oo ay naagtaasu sidaas ku nijaasowdo, laakiinse markhaati loo waayo iyada, amase aan iyada lagu qaban samayntii, 14 oo markaas haddii masayr ku soo dego ninka oo uu naagtiisa ka masayro oo ay iyadu nijaasowday, amase haddii masayr ku soo dego oo uu naagtiisa ka masayro oo ayan iyadu nijaasoobin, 15 markaas ninku waa inuu naagtiisa wadaadka u keenaa, oo iyada aawadeed qurbaan ugu keenaa eefaah toban meelood loo qaybiyey meeshiis bur shaciir ah. Isagu waa inuusan saliidna ku shubin amase foox saarin, waayo, taasu waxa weeye qurbaankii masayrka, waana qurbaan xusuuseed oo dembiga lagu soo xusuusto. 16 Markaas wadaadku waa inuu iyada soo dhoweeyaa oo Rabbiga hortiisa keenaa. 17 Oo markaas wadaadku waa inuu biyo quduus ah weel dhoobo ah ku qaadaa, oo ciidda taambuugga dhulkiisa taalna waa in wadaadku qaadaa oo biyaha ku shubaa, 18 oo markaas waa in wadaadku naagta keenaa Rabbiga hortiisa, oo naagta timaheeduna ha furfurnaadaan, oo qurbaankii xusuuseedna gacmaheeda ha ku rido, kaasoo ah qurbaankii masayrka. Wadaadkuna gacanta ha ku haysto biyaha qadhaadhka ah oo habaarka kiciyo. 19 Oo markaas wadaadku iyada ha dhaariyo, oo ha ku yidhaahdo naagta, Hadduusan nin kale kula jiifsan, oo aadan nijaaso ku leexan, adoo ninkaaga ka dambayn lahaa, ka xorow biyahan qadhaadhka ah oo habaarka kiciyo, 20 laakiinse haddaad gees u leexatay adigoo ninkaaga ka dambayn lahaa, oo aad markaas nijaasowday, oo haddii nin kale kula jiifsaday ninkaaga mooyaane, 21 markaas wadaadku waa inuu naagta ku dhaariyaa dhaar habaar ah, oo wadaadku naagta ha ku yidhaahdo, Markuu Rabbigu bowdadaada hilib beeliyo oo uu calooshaada barariyo, dadkaaga dhexdiisa ha kaaga dhigo habaar iyo dhaar, 22 oo biyahan habaarka kiciyaa way ku geli doonaan, oo calooshaaday bararin doonaan, bowdadaadana way hilib beelin doonaan. Oo naagtuna waa inay tidhaahdaa, Aamiin, Aamiin. 23 Oo wadaadkiina waa inuu habaarradaas buug ku qoraa, oo uu biyaha qadhaadhka ah ku baabbi'iyaa. 24 Oo waa inuu naagta cabsiiyaa biyaha qadhaadhka ah oo habaarka kiciya, oo biyaha habaarka kiciyaa ayaa iyada geli doona oo qadhaadh bay noqon doonaan. 25 Oo markaas wadaadku waa inuu qurbaankii masayrka naagta gacanteeda ka qaadaa oo Rabbiga hortiisa ku ruxruxaa, oo markaas waa inuu meesha allabariga keenaa. 26 Oo markaas wadaadku waa inuu qaadaa cantoobo muggeed oo qurbaanka xusuuseed ah, oo waa inuu meesha allabariga ku dul gubaa, oo haddana naagta biyaha cabsiiyaa. 27 Oo markuu iyada biyaha cabsiiyo markaas hadday iyadu nijaasowday, oo ay ninkeeda ku xadgudubtay, biyaha habaarka kiciya iyaday geli doonaan oo qadhaadh bay noqon doonaan, oo caloosheedu way barari doontaa oo bowdadeeduna way hilib beeli doontaa; oo naagtu waxay dadkeeda ku dhex ahaan doontaa habaar. 28 Laakiinse naagtu haddaanay nijaasoobin illowse ay daahir tahay, markaas iyadu xor bay ahaanaysaa, wayna uuraysanaysaa. 29 Kanu waa sharciga ku saabsan masayrka haddii naagu iyadoo ninkeeda ka dambayn lahayd ka leexato oo ay nijaasowdo, 30 ama haddii masayr ku soo dego nin, oo uu naagtiisa ka masayro, de markaas waa inuu naagta Rabbiga hor keenaa, oo wadaadku waa inuu iyada sharcigaas oo dhan ku oofiyaa. 31 Oo markaas ninku dembi xor buu ka ahaanayaa, oo naagtaasuna dembigeeda way qaadan doontaa.

The Purity of the Camp

The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease[a](A) or a discharge(B) of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean(C) because of a dead body.(D) Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.(E) The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

Restitution for Wrongs

The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful(F) to the Lord is guilty(G) and must confess(H) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution(I) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram(J) with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.(K) All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.(L) 10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.(M)’”

The Test for an Unfaithful Wife

11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray(N) and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her,(O) and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy(P) come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c](Q) of barley flour(R) on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy,(S) a reminder-offering(T) to draw attention to wrongdoing.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair(U) and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy,(V) while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.(W) 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray(X) and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse(Y) not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray(Z) while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse(AA)—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water(AB) that brings a curse(AC) enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.(AD)

23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll(AE) and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord(AF) and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering(AG) and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.(AH) 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray(AI) and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy(AJ) come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences(AK) of her sin.’”
