1 BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah a thui pah tih,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “BOEIPA kah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he Israel ca taengah voek lamtah thui pah. Nang taengla vaito ling a hmabuet hang khuen uh saeh. Te te a soah a lolhmaih om boel saeh lamtah a soah hnamkun khuen boel saeh.
This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:
3 Te te khosoih Eleazar taengah pae saeh. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen kah vongvoel la khuen saeh lamtah a mikhmuh ah ngawn saeh.
Give her to Eleazar the priest and let him take her outside the tent-circle and have her put to death before him.
4 Te kah thii te khosoih Eleazar loh a kutdawn dongah naek saeh. Te phoeiah te kah a thii te tingtunnah dap hmai ah voei rhih haeh saeh.
Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of the front of the Tent of meeting:
5 Te phoeiah vaito te a mikhmuh ah hoeh saeh. A pho neh a saa khaw, a thii khaw, a aek khaw hoeh thil saeh.
And the cow is to be burned before him, her skin and her flesh and her blood and her waste are to be burned:
6 Te phoeiah khosoih loh lamphai thing, pumpiding neh hlampai a lingdik te lo saeh lamtah vaito kah ungkhang khui la pup saeh.
Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.
7 Te phoeiah khosoih loh a himbai te suk saeh lamtah a pum khaw tui neh sil saeh. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen la kun cakhaw khosoih te kholaeh due poeih uhla om saeh.
And the priest, after washing his clothing and bathing his body in water, may come back to the tent-circle, and will be unclean till evening.
8 Te te aka hoeh long khaw a himbai te tui neh suk saeh. A pum te tui neh a silh ah pataeng hlaem due aka poeih uhla om saeh.
And he who does the burning is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.
9 Te phoeiah hlang cuem loh vaito hloi te kol saeh lamtah rhaehhmuen vongvoel kah hmuen cuem ah khueh saeh. Te boirhaem tah Israel ca rhaengpuei ham khaw pumom tui dongkah tuemkoi la om saeh.
Then let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.
10 Vaito hloi aka kol tah a himbai a suk phoeiah khaw hlaem due aka poeih uh la om saeh. Te dongah Israel ca ham neh amih khui ah aka bakuep yinlai ham khaw kumhal kah khosing la om saeh.
And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living among them.
11 Duek rhok aka ben hlang kah hinglu boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah aka poeih uhla om saeh.
Anyone touching a dead body will be unclean for seven days:
12 A hnin thum dongah anih te amah cilpoe uh saeh lamtah a hnin rhih dongah caihcil saeh. A hnin thum dongah a cilpoe pawt atah a hnin rhih dongah khaw caihcil mahpawh.
On the third day and on the seventh day he is to make himself clean with the water, and so he will be clean: but if he does not do this on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.
13 Hlang hinglu aka duek te aka ben boeih tah duek tih a cilpoe pawt atah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim te a poeih. Te dongah tekah hinglu te Israel lamloh khoe saeh. Pumom tui te a pum dongah a haeh pawt dongah a soah a tihnai kap pueng tih rhalawt.
Anyone touching the body of a dead man without making himself clean in this way, makes the House of the Lord unclean; and that man will be cut off from Israel: because the water was not put on him, he will be unclean; his unclean condition is unchanged.
14 He tah dap ah hlang a duek vaengkah kah olkhueng ni. Tekah dap la aka mop boeih neh dap khuikah boeih tah hnin rhih poeih uh ni.
This is the law when death comes to a man in his tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, will be unclean for seven days.
15 A soah amhuep amtlaeng aka om pawt tih aka ah hnopai boeih te khaw rhalawt la om.
And every open vessel without a cover fixed on it will be unclean.
16 Diklai hman kah cunghang neh aka duek kah rhok khaw, hlang rhuh khaw, phuel khaw aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih poeih uh ni.
And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, will be unclean for seven days.
17 Hlang rhalawt ham tah boirhaem kah ungkhang laipi te loh pah lamtah am khuiah tui hing bueih thil saeh.
And for the unclean, they are to take the dust of the burning of the sin-offering, and put flowing water on it in a vessel:
18 Hlang cuem loh pumpiding a loh tih tui ah a nuem phoeiah tah dap dongah khaw, hnopai boeih dongah khaw, te kah aka om hinglu boeih, te aka ben soah, a rhuh soah khaw, duek rhok soah khaw, phuel ah khaw haeh saeh.
And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.
19 Te phoeiah a hnin thum dong neh hnin rhih dongah tah hlang cuem loh hlang rhalawt soah haeh saeh. A hnin rhih dongah tah anih te cilpoe saeh. Te vaengah a himbai suk saeh lamtah tui hlu saeh, hlaem vaengah tah caihcil bitni.
Let the clean person do this to the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he is to make him clean; and after washing his clothing and bathing himself in water, he will be clean in the evening.
20 Poeih uh tih aka cilpoe uh pawt hlang tah BOEIPA kah rhokso a poeih dongah hlangping khui lamloh a hinglu hnawt pah saeh. Pumom tui te anih soah a haeh pawt dongah anih te rhalawt.
But the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put on him, he is unclean.
21 Amih ham kumhal kah khosing la om coeng tih pumom tui aka haeh tah a himbai suk uh saeh. Te dongah pumom tui aka ben khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni.
This is to be a law for them for ever: he who puts the water on the unclean person is to have his clothing washed; and anyone touching the water will be unclean till evening.
22 A soah rhalawt loh a ben boeih khaw poeih uh. Te te aka ben hinglu khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni,” a ti nah.
Anything touched by the unclean person will be unclean; and any person touching it will be unclean till evening.
