Brojevi 19
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju i Aronu:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Ovo je zakonska odredba što ju je Jahve naredio: Reci Izraelcima neka ti dovedu crvenu junicu, zdravu, na kojoj nema mane i na koju još nije stavljan jaram.
“This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.
3 A vi je predajte svećeniku Eleazaru. Neka se zatim izvede izvan tabora i zakolje pred njim.
You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.
4 Svećenik Eleazar neka uzme njezine krvi na svoj prst pa njome poškropi sedam puta prema pročelju Šatora sastanka.
Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood towards the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.
5 Neka se onda junica spali na njegove oči; neka joj se spale: koža, meso, krv i nečist.
One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
6 Potom neka svećenik uzme cedrovine, izopa i crvenoga prediva pa ih baci usred vatre gdje se krava spaljuje.
The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer.
7 Neka svećenik opere svoju odjeću, a svoje tijelo u vodi okupa. Poslije toga neka se svećenik vrati u tabor, ali neka je nečist do večeri.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
8 I onaj koji ju je spaljivao neka svoju odjeću opere i okupa svoje tijelo u vodi te bude nečist do večeri.
He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 A jedan čist čovjek neka pokupi pepeo od junice pa ga pohrani izvan tabora na čisto mjesto da se čuva izraelskoj zajednici za vodu očišćenja. To je žrtva okajnica.
“A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering.
10 I onaj koji skupi pepeo od junice neka opere svoju odjeću i bude nečist do večeri. Neka to bude trajan zakon i za Izraelce i za stranca koji među njima boravi.”
He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst them, for a statute forever.
11 “Tko se dotakne mrtva ljudskog tijela neka je nečist sedam dana.
“He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 Takav neka se opere tom vodom trećega dana i sedmoga dana pa će biti čist. Ako se ne opere trećega dana i sedmoga dana, neće biti čist.
He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 Tko se dotakne mrtvaca, tijela preminula čovjeka, a ne opere se, oskvrnjuje Jahvino prebivalište. Takav neka se iskorijeni iz Izraela. Budući da vodom za očišćenje nije bio poliven, nečist je; njegova je nečistoća još na njemu.”
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles the LORD’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.
14 “Ovo je zakon kad koji čovjek umre u šatoru; tko god uđe u šator i tko god bude u šatoru neka je nečist sedam dana.
“This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 Svaka otvorena posuda koja ne bude zatvorena poklopcem neka je nečista.
Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
16 A na otvorenu polju tko se god dotakne poginuloga od mača, ili mrtvaca, ili ljudskih kostiju, ili groba neka je nečist sedam dana.
“Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 Neka se za onoga koji se onečistio uzme pepela od životinje spaljene za okajnicu i na nj, u kakvu sudu, nalije žive vode.
“For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel.
18 Onda neka čist čovjek uzme izopa, zamoči ga u vodu te poškropi po šatoru, po svemu posuđu, po ljudima koji su tu bili, po onome koji se dotakao kostiju, ili ubijenoga, ili preminuloga, ili groba.
A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.
19 Neka čisti čovjek škropi nečistoga trećega i sedmoga dana. Tako će ga na sedmi dan očistiti. Taj onda neka opere svoju odjeću, okupa se u vodi i neka je navečer čist.
The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
20 A bude li tko nečist pa se ne očisti, neka se iskorijeni iz zajednice, jer je oskvrnuo Jahvino svetište; vodom za očišćenje nije bio poliven; nečist je!
But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from amongst the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.
21 Neka im i ovo bude trajnim zakonom: i onaj koji je škropio vodom za očišćenje neka opere svoju odjeću; i onaj koji je dirnuo vodu za očišćenje neka je nečist do večeri.
It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.
22 Čega se god nečisti dotakne neka je nečisto; a osoba koja se njega dotakne neka je nečista do večeri.”
“Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”
