< Nambar 19 >
1 Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 Angraeng mah thuih ih atawk lok loe, Coek koi kaom ai, rong angdaek ai, vaito doeh laikok atokhaih thing tahnong ah koeng vai ai, kathim maitaw tala to nang khaeah sin o hanah, Israel kaminawk khaeah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
“This is the statute of the law that the LORD has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red heifer that has no defect and has never been placed under a yoke.
3 To maitaw tala to qaima Eleazar khaeah paek oh, anih mah ohhaih im tasa bangah hoi ueloe, kami maeto mah anih hmaa ah bop tih.
Give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.
4 Qaima Eleazar mah maitaw tala athii to a banpazung tadong hoiah lak pacoengah, amkhuenghaih kahni im hmaa ah vai sarihto haeh tih.
Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
5 Kami maeto mah anih hmaa ah maitaw tala to hmai hoiah qoeng tih; ahin, angan, athii hoi aeknawk to hmai hoiah qoeng boih tih.
Then the heifer must be burned in his sight. Its hide, its flesh, and its blood are to be burned, along with its dung.
6 Qaima mah sidar thing, hmuihoih husop kung tadok hoi thlangqui kathim to la ueloe, hmai hoi qoeng ih maitaw tala nuiah va tih.
The priest is to take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer.
7 To pacoengah qaima mah a khukbuen to pasuk ueloe, tui doeh amhluh tih; to pacoengah ni a ohhaih im ah caeh vop tih; toe qaima loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai vop.
Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that he may enter the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
8 Hmai qoeng kami doeh a khukbuen to pasuk pacoengah, tui amhluk han oh; anih doeh duembang khoek to ciim mak ai vop.
The one who burned the heifer must also wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he too will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
9 Kaciim kami mah hmai hoi thlaek ih maitaw tala apoep to phrom ueloe, atai o haih tasa bang ih hmuenciim maeto ah suem tih; to maiphu loe ciimcai ah amsaehhaih tui ah patoh han oh pongah, Israel acaengnawk mah pakuem o tih; to hmuen loe zae ciimhaih ah om tih.
Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to gather up the ashes of the heifer and store them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They must be kept by the congregation of Israel for preparing the water of purification; this is for purification from sin.
10 Maitaw tala ih maiphu phrom kami loe a khukbuen to pasuk han oh, anih loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; hae loe Israel kaminawk hoi nihcae salakah kaom angvin hanah dungzan ah paek ih zaehhoihhaih daan lok ah om tih.
The man who has gathered up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he will be ceremonially unclean until evening. This is a permanent statute for the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them.
11 Kadueh qok sui kami loe, ni sarihto thung ciim mak ai.
Whoever touches any dead body will be unclean for seven days.
12 Ni thumto naah to ih maiphu hoiah a takpum to amsae tih, anih loe ni sarihto naah ni ciim vop tih; toe anih mah ni thumto naah a takpum to kaciim ah amsae ai nahaeloe, ni sarihto khoek to ciim mak ai boeh.
He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean.
13 Kadueh qok to sui to mah a takpum tui hoiah amsae ai kami loe, Angraeng ih kahni im to amhnongsak; to kami loe Israel kaminawk thung hoiah pahnawt han oh; kaciim ah amsaehhaih tui to a nuiah pathaek ai pongah, anih loe ciim ai; anih nuiah amhnonghaih to oh.
Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of purification has not been sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.
14 A ohhaih im ah kami dueh nahaeloe, sakhaih daan loe hae tiah oh; to kami ohhaih im ah akun kaminawk hoi imthung ah kaom kaminawk boih loe, ni sarihto thung ciim mak ai.
This is the law when a person dies in a tent: Everyone who enters the tent and everyone already in the tent will be unclean for seven days,
15 Kraeng ai ah kam-ong sut laom sabaenawk boih doeh ciim mak ai.
and any open container without a lid fastened on it is unclean.
16 Sumsen hoi hum ih kami qok maw, to tih ai boeh loe kadueh qok maw, to tih ai boeh loe kami huh maw, to tih ai boeh loe taprong maw sui kami loe, ni sarihto thung ciim mak ai.
Anyone in the open field who touches someone who has been killed by the sword or has died of natural causes, or anyone who touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days.
17 Kaciim ai kami ciimsak hanah hmai hoi thlaek ih maitaw tala ih apoep maiphu to la ah loe, kalong tui to laom thungah lawn pacoengah,
For the purification of the unclean person, take some of the ashes of the burnt sin offering, put them in a jar, and pour fresh water over them.
18 kaciim kami mah hmuihoih husop kung tadok to tui thungah nup ueloe, a ohhaih im maw, laom sabaenawk maw, im ah kaom kaminawk nuiah maw, kami huh sui kami nuiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe hum ih kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe kadueh kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe taprong sui kami nuiah maw pathaek tih.
Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to take some hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle the tent, all the furnishings, and the people who were there. He is also to sprinkle the one who touched a bone, a grave, or a person who has died or been slain.
19 Kaciim kami mah kaciim ai kami to ni thumto hoi ni sarihto niah pathaek tih; ni sarihto naah a takpum to ciimsak ueloe, a khukbuen to pasuk pacoengah, tui amhlu tih; duembang ah loe anih to ciim tih boeh.
The man who is ceremonially clean is to sprinkle the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. After he purifies the unclean person on the seventh day, the one being cleansed must wash his clothes and bathe in water, and that evening he will be clean.
20 Toe ciim ai kami mah a takpum to ciimsak ai nahaeloe, Angraeng ih hmuenciim to amhnongsak pongah, anih to amkhueng kaminawk salak hoi pahnawt han oh; kaciim ah pasaehhaih tui to anih nuiah pathaek ai pongah, anih loe ciim ai.
But if a person who is unclean does not purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
21 Hae loe nihcae han dungzan ah paek ih zaehhoihhaih daan lok ah oh; kaciim tui pathaek kami doeh a khukbuen to pasuk han angaih; to tui sui kami doeh duembang khoek to ciim mak ai.
This is a permanent statute for the people: The one who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and whoever touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.
22 Kaciim ai kami mah sui ih hmuennawk boih loe, ciim mak ai; to hmuen sui kami doeh duembang khoek to ciim mak ai, tiah a naa.
Anything the unclean person touches will become unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until evening.”
