Numbers 19
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Jahve reče Mojsiju i Aronu:
2 This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke;
“Ovo je zakonska odredba što ju je Jahve naredio: Reci Izraelcima neka ti dovedu crvenu junicu, zdravu, na kojoj nema mane i na koju još nije stavljan jaram.
3 and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him.
A vi je predajte svećeniku Eleazaru. Neka se zatim izvede izvan tabora i zakolje pred njim.
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times.
Svećenik Eleazar neka uzme njezine krvi na svoj prst pa njome poškropi sedam puta prema pročelju Šatora sastanka.
5 And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.
Neka se onda junica spali na njegove oči; neka joj se spale: koža, meso, krv i nečist.
6 And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Potom neka svećenik uzme cedrovine, izopa i crvenoga prediva pa ih baci usred vatre gdje se krava spaljuje.
7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the even;
Neka svećenik opere svoju odjeću, a svoje tijelo u vodi okupa. Poslije toga neka se svećenik vrati u tabor, ali neka je nečist do večeri.
8 and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
I onaj koji ju je spaljivao neka svoju odjeću opere i okupa svoje tijelo u vodi te bude nečist do večeri.
9 And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
A jedan čist čovjek neka pokupi pepeo od junice pa ga pohrani izvan tabora na čisto mjesto da se čuva izraelskoj zajednici za vodu očišćenja. To je žrtva okajnica.
10 And he that hath gathered the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, an everlasting statute.
I onaj koji skupi pepeo od junice neka opere svoju odjeću i bude nečist do večeri. Neka to bude trajan zakon i za Izraelce i za stranca koji među njima boravi.”
11 He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days.
“Tko se dotakne mrtva ljudskog tijela neka je nečist sedam dana.
12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
Takav neka se opere tom vodom trećega dana i sedmoga dana pa će biti čist. Ako se ne opere trećega dana i sedmoga dana, neće biti čist.
13 Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Tko se dotakne mrtvaca, tijela preminula čovjeka, a ne opere se, oskvrnjuje Jahvino prebivalište. Takav neka se iskorijeni iz Izraela. Budući da vodom za očišćenje nije bio poliven, nečist je; njegova je nečistoća još na njemu.”
14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
“Ovo je zakon kad koji čovjek umre u šatoru; tko god uđe u šator i tko god bude u šatoru neka je nečist sedam dana.
15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.
Svaka otvorena posuda koja ne bude zatvorena poklopcem neka je nečista.
16 And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
A na otvorenu polju tko se god dotakne poginuloga od mača, ili mrtvaca, ili ljudskih kostiju, ili groba neka je nečist sedam dana.
17 And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel;
Neka se za onoga koji se onečistio uzme pepela od životinje spaljene za okajnicu i na nj, u kakvu sudu, nalije žive vode.
18 and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave;
Onda neka čist čovjek uzme izopa, zamoči ga u vodu te poškropi po šatoru, po svemu posuđu, po ljudima koji su tu bili, po onome koji se dotakao kostiju, ili ubijenoga, ili preminuloga, ili groba.
19 and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
Neka čisti čovjek škropi nečistoga trećega i sedmoga dana. Tako će ga na sedmi dan očistiti. Taj onda neka opere svoju odjeću, okupa se u vodi i neka je navečer čist.
20 And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean.
A bude li tko nečist pa se ne očisti, neka se iskorijeni iz zajednice, jer je oskvrnuo Jahvino svetište; vodom za očišćenje nije bio poliven; nečist je!
21 And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
Neka im i ovo bude trajnim zakonom: i onaj koji je škropio vodom za očišćenje neka opere svoju odjeću; i onaj koji je dirnuo vodu za očišćenje neka je nečist do večeri.
22 And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
Čega se god nečisti dotakne neka je nečisto; a osoba koja se njega dotakne neka je nečista do večeri.”
