< Numbers 19 >
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
2 This is the statute of the law which Jehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and upon which a yoke never came.
Ista est religio victimae, quam constituit Dominus. Praecipe filiis Israel, ut adducant ad te vaccam rufam aetatis integrae, in qua nulla sit macula, nec portaverit iugum:
3 And ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside the camp, and she shall be killed before his face.
tradetisque eam Eleazaro sacerdoti. qui eductam extra castra, immolabit in conspectu omnium:
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
et tingens digitum in sanguine eius, asperget contra fores tabernaculi septem vicibus,
5 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight: her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, he shall burn.
comburetque eam cunctis videntibus, tam pelle et carnibus eius quam sanguine et fimo flammae traditis.
6 And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Lignum quoque cedrinum, et hyssopum, coccumque bis tinctum sacerdos mittet in flammam, quae vaccam vorat.
7 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.
Et tunc demum, lotis vestibus et corpore suo, ingredietur in castra, commaculatusque erit usque ad vesperum.
8 And he who burned her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Sed et ille, qui combusserit eam, lavabit vestimenta sua, et corpus, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
9 And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place. And it shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel for a water for impurity. It is a sin offering.
Colliget autem vir mundus cineres vaccae, et effundet eos extra castra in loco purissimo, ut sint multitudini filiorum Israel in custodiam, et in aquam aspersionis: quia pro peccato vacca combusta est.
10 And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. And it shall be to the sons of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, for a statute forever.
Cumque laverit qui vaccae portaverat cineres, vestimenta sua, immundus erit usque ad vesperum. Habebunt hoc filii Israel et advenae, qui habitant inter eos, sanctum iure perpetuo.
11 He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
Qui tetigerit cadaver hominis, et propter hoc septem diebus fuerit immundus:
12 The same shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean, but if he does not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
aspergetur ex hac aqua die tertio et septimo, et sic mundabitur. Si die tertio aspersus non fuerit, septimo non poterit emundari.
13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Jehovah. And that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Omnis qui tetigerit humanae animae morticinum, et aspersus hac commistione non fuerit, polluet tabernaculum Domini, et peribit ex Israel: quia aqua expiationis non est aspersus, immundus erit, et manebit spurcitia eius super eum.
14 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.
Ista est lex hominis qui moritur in tabernaculo: Omnes qui ingrediuntur tentorium illius, et universa vasa quae ibi sunt, polluta erunt septem diebus.
15 And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
Vas, quod non habuerit operculum, nec ligaturam desuper, immundum erit.
16 And whoever in the open field touches a man who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Si quis in agro tetigerit cadaver occisi hominis, aut per se mortui, sive os illius, vel sepulchrum, immundus erit septem diebus.
17 And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering, and running water shall be put with that in a vessel.
Tollentque de cineribus combustionis atque peccati, et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas.
18 And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the souls who were there, and upon him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.
in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hyssopum, asperget ex eo omne tentorium, et cunctam supellectilem, et homines huiuscemodi contagione pollutos:
19 And the clean man shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall purify him. And he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit immundum tertio et septimo die. expiatusque die septimo, lavabit et se et vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
20 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
Si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus, peribit anima illius de medio Ecclesiae: quia sanctuarium Domini polluit, et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them. And he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.
erit hoc praeceptum legitimum sempiternum. Ipse quoque qui aspergit aquas, lavabit vestimenta sua: Omnis qui tetigerit aquas expiationis, immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
22 And whatever the unclean man touches shall be unclean, and the soul who touches it shall be unclean until evening.
Quidquid tetigerit immundus, immundum faciet: et anima, quae horum quippiam tetigerit, immunda erit usque ad vesperum.
