< Numbers 19 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengaha thui pah tih,
2 This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for thee a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on which no yoke has been put.
“BOEIPA kah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he Israel ca taengah voek lamtah thui pah. Nang taengla vaito linga hmabuet hang khuen uh saeh. Tete a soaha lolhmaih om boel saeh lamtah a soah hnamkun khuen boel saeh.
3 And thou shalt give her to Eleazar the priest; and they shall bring her out of the camp into a clean place, and shall kill her before his face.
Te te khosoih Eleazar taengah pae saeh. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen kah vongvoel la khuen saeh lamtah a mikhmuh ah ngawn saeh.
4 And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and sprinkle of her blood seven times in front of the tabernacle of witness.
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.
5 And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and her skin and her flesh and her blood, with her dung, shall be consumed.
Te phoeiah vaito te a mikhmuh ah hoeh saeh. A pho neh a saa khaw, a thii khaw, a aek khaw hoeh thil saeh.
6 And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet wool, and they shall cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Te phoeiah khosoih loh lamphai thing, pumpiding neh hlampai a lingdik te lo saeh lamtah vaito kah ungkhang khui la pup saeh.
7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall go into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean till evening.
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.
8 And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and shall be unclean till evening.
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.
9 And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up in a clean place outside the camp; and they shall be for the congregation of the children of Israel to keep: it is the water of sprinkling, a purification.
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.
10 And he that gathers up the ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute for the children of Israel and for the strangers joined to them.
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.
11 He that touches the dead body of any man, shall be unclean seven days.
Duek rhok aka ben hlang kah hinglu boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah aka poeih uhla om saeh.
12 He shall be purified on the third day and the seventh day, and shall be clean; but if he be not purged on the third day and the seventh day, he shall not be clean.
A hnin thum dongah anihte amah cilpoe uh saeh lamtah a hnin rhih dongah caihcil saeh. A hnin thum dongaha cilpoe pawt ataha hnin rhih dongah khaw caihcil mahpawh.
13 Every one that touches the carcase of the person of a man, if he should have died, and [the other] not have been purified, has defiled the tabernacle of the Lord: that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Hlang hinglu aka duek te aka ben boeih tah duek tiha 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.
14 And this [is] the law; if a man die in a house, every one that goes into the house, and all things in the house, shall be unclean seven days.
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.
15 And every open vessel which has not a covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.
A soah amhuep amtlaeng aka om pawt tih aka ah hnopai boeih te khaw rhalawt la om.
16 And every one who shall touch a man slain by violence, or a corpse, or human bone, or sepulchre, shall be unclean seven days.
Diklai hman kah cunghang neh aka duek kah rhok khaw, hlang rhuh khaw, phuel khaw aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih poeih uh ni.
17 And they shall take for the unclean of the burnt ashes of purification, and they shall pour upon them running water into a vessel.
Hlang rhalawt ham tah boirhaem kah ungkhang laipi te loh pah lamtah am khuiah tui hing bueih thil saeh.
18 And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it into the water, and sprinkle it upon the house, and the furniture, and all the souls that are therein, and upon him that touched the human bone, or the slain man, or the corpse, or the tomb.
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.
19 And the clean man shall sprinkle [the water] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day he shall purify himself; and [the other] shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
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.
20 And whatever man shall be defiled and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, because he has defiled the holy things of the Lord, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
Poeih uh tih aka cilpoe uh pawt hlang tah BOEIPA kah rhokso a poeih dongah hlangping khui lamloha hinglu hnawt pah saeh. Pumom tui te anih soaha haeh pawt dongah anihte rhalawt.
21 And it shall be to you a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkles the water of sprinkling shall wash his garments; and he that touches the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening.
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.
22 And whatsoever the unclean man shall touch shall be unclean, and the soul that touches it shall be unclean till evening.
A soah rhalawt loh a ben boeih khaw poeih uh. Te te aka ben hinglu khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni,” a ti nah.
