Nambar 19
1 Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
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 a statute, a law which I am commanding you: Say to the people of Israel that they must bring to you a red heifer without flaw or blemish, and which has never carried 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 the heifer to Eleazar the priest. He must bring it outside the camp, and someone must kill it in front of him.
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 must take some of its blood with 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.
Another priest must burn the heifer in his sight. He must burn its hide, flesh, and its blood 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 must take cedarwood, hyssop, and scarlet wool, and throw it all into the middle of 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 he must wash his clothes and bathe in water. Then he may come into the camp, where he will remain unclean until the 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 has burned the heifer must wash his clothes in water and bathe in water. He will remain unclean until the 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.
Someone who is clean must gather up the heifer's ashes and put them outside the camp in a clean place. These ashes must be kept for the community of the people of Israel. They will mix the ashes with water for purification from sin, since the ashes were from a sin offering.
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 one who gathered the heifer's ashes must wash his clothes. He will remain unclean until the evening. This will be a permanent law for the people of Israel and the foreigners who stay with them.
11 Kadueh qok sui kami loe, ni sarihto thung ciim mak ai.
Whoever touches the dead body of any man 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.
Such a person must purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day. Then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself the third day, then he will not be clean on the seventh day.
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.
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself—this person defiles Yahweh's tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him. He will remain unclean; his uncleanness will remain 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 for when someone dies in a tent. Everyone who goes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
15 Kraeng ai ah kam-ong sut laom sabaenawk boih doeh ciim mak ai.
Every open container with no cover becomes 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.
Similarly, anyone outside a tent who touches someone who has been killed with a sword, any other dead body, a human bone, or a grave—that person 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,
Do this for the unclean person: Take some ashes from the burnt sin offering and mix them in a jar with fresh water.
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.
Someone who is clean must then take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the containers inside the tent, on the persons who were there, and on anyone who touched the bone, the one who was killed, the one who died, or the grave.
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.
On the third day and on the seventh day, the clean person must sprinkle the unclean person. On the seventh day the unclean person must purify himself. He must wash his clothes and bathe in water. At evening he will become 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 anyone who remains unclean, who refuses to purify himself—that person will be cut off from the community, because he has defiled Yahweh's sanctuary. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he remains 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 will be an ongoing law concerning these situations. The one who sprinkles the water for impurity must wash his clothes. The one who touches the water for impurity will become 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.
Whatever the unclean person touches will become unclean. The person who touches it will become unclean until evening.”
