Numeri 19
1 Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
2 “Lamulo limene Yehova wapereka ndi ili: Uzani Aisraeli kuti abweretse ngʼombe yayikazi yofiira yopanda chilema chilichonse imenenso sinakhalepo pa goli.
'This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
3 Muyipereke kwa Eliezara, wansembe ndipo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa. Iphedwe iye ali pomwepo.
and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.
4 Ndipo Eliezara wansembe atengeko ena mwa magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi chala chake ndi kuwaza kasanu nʼkawiri ku tsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano.
'And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;
5 Wansembeyo akuona, ngʼombeyo ayiwotche chikopa chake, mnofu wake, magazi ake ndi zamʼkati zake.
and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
6 Wansembe atenge mtengo wamkungudza, hisope ndi kansalu kofiira ndipo aponye zimenezo pakati pa moto umene akuwotchera ngʼombeyo.
and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;
7 Zitatha izi, wansembeyo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndiponso asambe ndi madzi. Iye angathe kupita ku msasa, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;
8 Munthu amene amawotcha ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.
9 “Munthu amene ndi woyeretsedwa achotse phulusa la ngʼombeyo ndi kuliyika pa malo woyeretsedwa kunja kwa msasa. Aisraeli adzasunge phulusalo kuti azikaligwiritsa ntchito polithira mʼmadzi woyeretsera ndi wochotsera tchimo.
'And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
10 Munthu wochotsa phulusa la ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Ili likhale lamulo la nthawi zonse kwa Aisraeli ndi alendo okhala pakati pawo.
and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
11 “Aliyense wokhudza mtembo wa munthu wina aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;
12 Adziyeretse yekha ndi madzi pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndipo adzayeretsedwa. Koma ngati sadziyeretsa yekha pa tsiku la chitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri sadzakhala woyeretsedwa.
he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
13 Aliyense amene akhudza mtembo wa munthu nʼkulephera kudziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti wadetsa Nyumba ya Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa Aisraeli. Iye ndi wodetsedwa chifukwa sanamuwaze madzi oyeretsa; kudetsedwa kwake kukhalabe pa iyeyo.
Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.
14 “Pamene munthu wamwalira mu tenti, lamulo lomwe ligwire ntchito ndi ili: Aliyense wolowa mu tentimo ndi amene anali momwemo adzakhala odetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri,
'This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;
15 ndiponso chiwiya chilichonse chopanda chivundikiro chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.
16 “Aliyense wokhudza munthu amene waphedwera kunja ndi lupanga kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe, kapena aliyense wokhudza fupa la munthu kapena manda, munthu ameneyo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
'And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;
17 “Za munthu wodetsedwayo: ikani phulusa lochokera ku nsembe ya chiyeretso mu mtsuko ndi kuthiramo madzi abwino.
and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;
18 Tsono munthu woyeretsedwa atenge hisope, amuviyike mʼmadzi ndi kuwaza tentiyo ndi zipangizo zonse, pamodzi ndi anthu anali mʼmenemo. Ayenera kuwazanso aliyense wakhudza fupa kapena, munthu wochita kuphedwa, kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe kapenanso amene wakhudza manda.
and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
19 Munthu woyeretsedwa ndiye awaze munthu wodetsedwayo pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri amuyeretse. Munthu amene akuyeretsedwayo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi, ndipo madzulo ake adzakhala woyeretsedwa.
'And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.
20 Koma ngati munthu wodetsedwayo sadziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa gulu chifukwa anadetsa malo wopatulika a Yehova, popeza sanawazidwe madzi oyeretsa ndiye kuti ndi wodetsedwa.
'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
21 Ili ndi lamulo lokhazikika kwa iwo. “Munthu amene amawaza madzi oyeretsawo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndipo yense wokhudza madzi oyeretserawo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
'And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
22 Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwayo achikhudze chidzakhala chodetsedwa ndiponso aliyense wochikhudza adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
