1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Ma e dwaro mar chik ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiko: Nyis jo-Israel mondo okel nyaroya ma silwal maonge songa kata ma ok ongʼol kendo mapok otwe e jok.
“This is the statute of the law which Yahweh 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 Chiwe ne Eliazar jadolo; kendo nyaroyano nyaka gol oko mar kambi mi yangʼe ka oneno.
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 Bangʼe Eliazar jadolo nyaka kaw rembe moko e lith lwete kendo okwoye nyadibiriyo kochiko nyim Hemb Romo.
Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.
5 E kinde ma pod ongʼicho nyaroyano nyaka wangʼ piende, ringe, rembe kod wen.
One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
6 Jadolo nokaw yiende moko mag sida, owino gi usi marakwaro kendo owitgi kuom nyaroya ma wangʼno.
The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer.
7 Bangʼ mano, jadolo nyaka luok lepe kendo olwokre gi pi. Bangʼe onyalo donjo e kambi, makmana ni obiro bedo mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.
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 Ngʼatno mowangʼo nyaroyano bende nyaka luok lepe, kendo olwokre, en bende nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.
He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 “Ngʼat maler nochok buru mag nyaroyano kendo oketgi kar misango maler e oko mar kambi. Ginikan-gi gi dhout oganda mar jo-Israel mondo ti kodgi e pi pwodhruok; nikech en mar pwodho ji aa e richo.
“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 Ngʼatno mochoko buch nyaroyano nyaka luok lepe bende, to en bende nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo. Ma nobedi chik mosiko ne jo-Israel kaachiel gi jopinje mamoko modak kodgi.
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 among them, for a statute forever.
11 “Ngʼato angʼata momulo ringre ngʼama otho biro bedo mochido kuom ndalo abiriyo.
“He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 Nyaka opwodhre owuon gi pi chiengʼ mar adek kod chiengʼ mar abiriyo; eka obiro bedo maler. To ka ok opwodhore owuon chiengʼ mar adek gi chiengʼ mar abiriyo, to ok obi bedo maler.
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 Ngʼato angʼata momulo ringre ngʼama otho kendo ma ok opwodhore owuon ochido hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ngʼatno nyaka gol oko mar Israel. Nikech pi mar pwodhruok pod ok okir kuome, ochido; kendo chidono odongʼ kuome.
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles Yahweh’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 “Chik momako ngʼama otho e hema ema: Ngʼato angʼata modonjo ei hema kendo ngʼato angʼata mantiere e iye nobed mochido kuom ndalo abiriyo,
“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 kendo mikebe moro amora maonge raum moumego nobed mochido.
Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
16 “Ngʼato angʼata man oko momulo ngʼatno mane onegi gi ligangla kata ngʼat motho kende, kata ngʼatno momulo chok dhano, kata liel, nobedi mochido kuom ndalo abiriyo.
“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 “Ne ngʼatno mochido, ket buru moko moa e misango mar pwodhruok kendo uruw gi pi maler mi uol e wigi.
“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 Eka ngʼatno maler nokaw owino, gilute e pi kendo gikuo pi e hema kod e gik moko duto molosgo ii hekalu gi ji man kanyo. Bende nyaka okwo pi kuom ngʼato angʼata mabed ni osemulo chok ngʼama osetho kata liel kata ngʼato ma osenegi kata ngʼato motho athoya.
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 Ngʼat maler ema nyaka kir pi kuom ngʼat mochidono chiengʼ mar adek gi mar abiriyo, to kochopo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo nyaka opwodhe. Ngʼama ipwodhono nyaka luok lepe kendo luokre gi pi, kendo odhiambono nobed mapoth.
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 To ka ngʼat mochido ok opwodhore owuon, nyaka gole oko e dier oganda, nikech osemiyo kama ler mar lemo mar Jehova Nyasaye ochido. Pi pwodhruokgo pod ok okir kuome, omiyo ochido.
But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.
21 Chik mosiko ne gin ema. “Ngʼat mokiro pi mar pwodhruok nyaka luok lepe bende, kendo ngʼato angʼata momulo pi mar pwodhruok nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.
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 Gimoro amora ma ngʼat mochido omulo nobed mochido, kendo ngʼato angʼata momule nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.”
“Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”
