< Numbers 19 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
2 “This is the statute of the law that the LORD has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red heifer that has no defect and has never been placed under a yoke.
“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.
3 Give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.
Chiwe ne Eliazar jadolo; kendo nyaroyano nyaka gol oko mar kambi mi yangʼe ka oneno.
4 Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Bangʼe Eliazar jadolo nyaka kaw rembe moko e lith lwete kendo okwoye nyadibiriyo kochiko nyim Hemb Romo.
5 Then the heifer must be burned in his sight. Its hide, its flesh, and its blood are to be burned, along with its dung.
E kinde ma pod ongʼicho nyaroyano nyaka wangʼ piende, ringe, rembe kod wen.
6 The priest is to take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer.
Jadolo nokaw yiende moko mag sida, owino gi usi marakwaro kendo owitgi kuom nyaroya ma wangʼno.
7 Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that he may enter the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
Bangʼ mano, jadolo nyaka luok lepe kendo olwokre gi pi. Bangʼe onyalo donjo e kambi, makmana ni obiro bedo mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.
8 The one who burned the heifer must also wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he too will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
Ngʼatno mowangʼo nyaroyano bende nyaka luok lepe, kendo olwokre, en bende nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.
9 Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to gather up the ashes of the heifer and store them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They must be kept by the congregation of Israel for preparing the water of purification; this is for purification from sin.
“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.
10 The man who has gathered up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he will be ceremonially unclean until evening. This is a permanent statute for the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them.
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.
11 Whoever touches any dead body will be unclean for seven days.
“Ngʼato angʼata momulo ringre ngʼama otho biro bedo mochido kuom ndalo abiriyo.
12 He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean.
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.
13 Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of purification has not been sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.
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.
14 This is the law when a person dies in a tent: Everyone who enters the tent and everyone already in the tent will be unclean for seven days,
“Chik momako ngʼama otho e hema ema: Ngʼato angʼata modonjo ei hema kendo ngʼato angʼata mantiere e iye nobed mochido kuom ndalo abiriyo,
15 and any open container without a lid fastened on it is unclean.
kendo mikebe moro amora maonge raum moumego nobed mochido.
16 Anyone in the open field who touches someone who has been killed by the sword or has died of natural causes, or anyone who touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days.
“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.
17 For the purification of the unclean person, take some of the ashes of the burnt sin offering, put them in a jar, and pour fresh water over them.
“Ne ngʼatno mochido, ket buru moko moa e misango mar pwodhruok kendo uruw gi pi maler mi uol e wigi.
18 Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to take some hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle the tent, all the furnishings, and the people who were there. He is also to sprinkle the one who touched a bone, a grave, or a person who has died or been slain.
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.
19 The man who is ceremonially clean is to sprinkle the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. After he purifies the unclean person on the seventh day, the one being cleansed must wash his clothes and bathe in water, and that evening he will be clean.
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.
20 But if a person who is unclean does not purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
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.
21 This is a permanent statute for the people: The one who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and whoever touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.
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.
22 Anything the unclean person touches will become unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until evening.”
Gimoro amora ma ngʼat mochido omulo nobed mochido, kendo ngʼato angʼata momule nobed mochido nyaka chop odhiambo.”
