< Numbers 19 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
2 “This is the ritual that the Lord has appointed for a victim. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you a red cow of full maturity, in which there is no blemish, and which has not carried a yoke.
“Ndị a bụ ụkpụrụ dị nʼiwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha wetara gị nwa nne ehi na-acha uhie uhie nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nke ụdọ yoku na-agabeghị nʼolu ya.
3 And you shall deliver it to Eleazar the priest, who, having led it out beyond the camp, shall immolate it in the sight of all.
Nye ya Elieza onye nchụaja, ka ọ kpụrụ ya pụọ nʼazụ ogige, ebe otu onye ga-egbu ya mgbe ọ nọ na-ele ya anya.
4 And dipping his finger in its blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times, opposite the door of the tabernacle.
Elieza bụ onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya na mkpịsịaka ya, fesa ya na ncherita ihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ugboro asaa.
5 And he shall burn it, while all are watching, delivering into the flame, not only its skin and flesh, but also the blood and dung.
Mgbe ahụ, onye ọzọ ga-akpọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ mgbe Elieza nọkwa na-ele ya anya. Ọ ga-akpọ akpụkpọ ya, anụ ya, ọbara na mgbịrị afọ ya ọkụ.
6 Likewise, cedar wood, and hyssop, and twice-dyed scarlet he shall cast into the flame, by which the cow is consumed.
Onye nchụaja ga-ewere osisi sida, na osisi hisọp, na ogho uhie, tụba ha nʼetiti ebe ahụ a kpọrọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ.
7 And then finally, having washed his garments and his body, he shall enter into the camp, and he shall be deeply stained until evening.
Emesịa, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-asacha uwe niile o yi; sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-alọghachikwa azụ nʼime ogige ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
8 Then he also who had burned it shall wash his garments and his body, and he shall be unclean until evening.
Onye ahụ kpọrọ nwa ehi ahụ ọkụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa ọnọdụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo anyasị.
9 Then a clean man shall gather the ashes of the cow, and he shall pour them out beyond the camp, in a very pure place, so that they may be preserved for the multitude of the sons of Israel, and for the water of aspersion, because the cow was burned for sin.
“Mgbe ahụ, onye nke dị ọcha, ga-ekpokọta ntụ ozu nwa nne ehi ahụ, wụnye ya nʼebe dị ọcha nʼazụ ogige ahụ. Ebe ahụ ka nzukọ Izrel ga-edebe ya maka ikporo wụnye na mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ maka nsacha pụọ na mmehie.
10 And when he who had carried the ashes of the cow will have washed his garments, he shall be unclean until evening. The sons of Israel, and the newcomers who live among them, shall have this as a holy and perpetual right.
Ma onye ahụ ga-ekpokọta ntụ nsure ọkụ nwa nne ehi ahụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya, nọkwaa dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi. Iwu a ga-adịgidere ndị Izrel na ndị ọbịa binyere ha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
11 Whoever touches the corpse of a man, and is, because of this, unclean for seven days,
“Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
12 shall be sprinkled from this water on the third and seventh days, and so shall he be cleansed. But if he was not sprinkled on the third day, he is not able to be cleansed on the seventh.
Ha aghaghị iji mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha saa ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-adị ọcha. Ma ọ bụrụ na ha asaghị ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ nakwa nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ha ga-anọgide bụrụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ọ bụladị mgbe ụbọchị asaa ahụ gafesịrị.
13 Anyone who will have touched the dead body of a human life, and who has not been sprinkled with this mixture, pollutes the tabernacle of the Lord, and he shall perish out of Israel. For not having been sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his filth shall remain upon him.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ma ọ saghị ahụ ya dịka usoro a si dị, o merụọla ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewezuga onye dị otu a site nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ebe ọ bụ na a wụsaghị ya mmiri nsacha ahụ; ọ ga-anọgide bụrụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.
14 This is the law of a man who dies in a tent. All who enter into his tent, and all the vessels which are there, shall be polluted for seven days.
“Mgbe mmadụ nwụrụ nʼụlọ ikwu, ndị a ga-abụ iwu unu ga-eso. Ndị nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ mgbe ọ nwụrụ na onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, ga-abụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
15 The vessel that has no cover or binding over it shall be unclean.
Ihe ọbụla nke ghere oghe, nke na-enweghị ihe mkpuchi eriri e ji kechie elu ya, ga-abụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha.
16 If anyone in the field will have touched the corpse of a man, who was killed or who died on his own, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean for seven days.
“Onye gara nʼọhịa metụ onye e gburu nʼagha aka, maọbụ onye nwụrụ nʼụzọ ọzọ dị iche, ma ọ bụkwanụ metụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ ili onye nwụrụ anwụ aka, ọ ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
17 And they shall take some of the ashes from the burning and the sin offering, and they shall pour living waters over them into a vessel.
“Ma banyere onye ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, kporo ntụ site nʼime aja mmehie ahụ a kpọrọ ọkụ, tinye ya nʼime ite, wụkwasị ya mmiri e si nʼiyi na-eru eru kute.
18 And into it a man who is clean shall dip hyssop, and he shall sprinkle from it the entire tent, and all its articles, and the men who were polluted by means of contact.
Mgbe ahụ, nwoke nke nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha ga-ewere ụfọdụ hisọp, denye ya na mmiri ahụ fesaa ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ, na ngwongwo niile e ji dozie ụlọ ahụ, na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ọ ga-efesakwa ya nʼahụ onye ọbụla metụrụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ onye e gburu egbu, maọbụ onye nwụrụ anwụ ma ọ bụkwanụ ili aka.
19 And so, in this manner, what is clean shall purify what is unclean, on the third and seventh days. And having been expiated on the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening.
Nwoke ahụ dị ọcha ga-efesakwa ndị ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa ka ọ ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha. Ndị ahụ a na-edo ọcha ga-asa uwe ha mmiri, saa ahụ ha, nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ ka ha ga-adị ọcha.
20 If anyone has not been expiated by this ritual, his soul shall perish from the midst of the Church. For he has polluted the Sanctuary of the Lord, and he has not been sprinkled with purifying waters.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ merụrụ onwe ha e doghị onwe ha ọcha, aghaghị iwepụ ha site nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel. Nʼihi na ha merụrụ ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. E fesakwaghị ha mmiri nke ịdị ọcha nʼahụ, nke mere na ha adịghị ọcha.
21 This precept shall be an everlasting ordinance. Likewise, the one who has sprinkled the waters shall wash his garments. All who will have touched the waters of expiation shall be unclean until evening.
Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide mgbe ebighị ebi. “Nwoke ahụ na-efesa mmiri ahụ e ji edo mmadụ ọcha, aghaghị ịsacha uwe ya niile. Onye ọbụla metụrụ mmiri nke ịdị ọcha ahụ aka, ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
22 Whatever has been touched by something unclean will itself be made unclean. And the soul who touches any of these things shall become unclean until evening.”
Ihe ọbụla kwa onye na-adịghị ọcha metụrụ aka, ga-aghọ ihe na-adịghị ọcha, onye ọbụla metụkwara ya aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.”
