< Numbers 19 >

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
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;
“Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo thĩinĩ wa watho ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere moori ndune ĩtarĩ kaũũgũ kana kameni, na ĩtarĩ yekĩrwo icooki.
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.
Mũmĩnengere Eleazaru, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai; ĩtwarwo nja ya kambĩ, na ĩthĩnjĩrwo hau mbere yake.
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.
Nake Eleazaru, ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe thakame na kĩara gĩake, na amĩminjaminje maita mũgwanja amĩroretie na mwena wa mbere wa Hema-ya Gũtũnganwo.
5 And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.
Nayo moori ĩyo ĩcinwo yothe akĩonaga, ũguo nĩ kuuga rũũa rwayo, na nyama, na thakame, o na taatha wayo.
6 And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio oe rũkũ rwa mũtarakwa, na mũthobi, na guoya wa rangi wa gakarakũ, aciikie igũrũ wa moori ĩyo ĩrahĩa.
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;
Thuutha wa ũguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ. Thuutha ũcio no acooke kambĩ, no arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
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.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩcinaga moori ĩyo no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, na o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
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.
“Mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu acooke ahakũre mũhu ũcio wa moori ĩyo na aũige handũ hatarĩ na thaahu nja ya kambĩ. Mũhu ũcio ũigagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũhũthagĩrwo maaĩ-inĩ ma kũniina thaahu; ũcio nĩguo wa gũtheranagia kuuma mehia-inĩ.
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.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩhakũraga mũhu wa moori ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake, o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũra harĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ageni arĩa matũũranagia nao.
11 He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ arĩikaraga arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
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.
No nginya etherie na maaĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja; hĩndĩ ĩyo athirwo nĩ thaahu. No angĩaga gwĩtheria mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, ndagaathirwo nĩ thaahu.
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.
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na aage gwĩtheria, ũcio nĩathaahĩtie Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo oime Isiraeli. Tondũ ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, mũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu; thaahu wake ndũthirĩte.
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.
“Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩrĩa mũndũ akuĩra hema-inĩ: Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩtoonya hema ĩyo, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wayo-rĩ, nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja,
15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.
nakĩo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa nyũmba gĩgaakorwo gĩtarĩ gĩkunĩke nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
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.
“Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ na kũu nja ũngĩhutia mũndũ ũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire, kana mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ kana mbĩrĩra, ũcio nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
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;
“Nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu, ĩkĩra mũhu wa moori ĩrĩa yacinĩtwo ĩrĩ ya gũtherania ndigithũ-inĩ, naguo ũitĩrĩrio maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
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;
Nake mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩoe mũthobi aũtobokie maaĩ-inĩ macio, na aminjaminjĩrie hema ĩyo na indo ciayo ciothe, na andũ arĩa maarĩ kũu thĩinĩ. Ningĩ no nginya aminjaminjĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũhutĩtie ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ, kana mbĩrĩra, kana mũndũ ũragĩtwo, kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire.
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.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩakaminjaminjĩria mũndũ ũcio ũrĩ na thaahu maaĩ macio mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩguo akamũtheria. Nake mũndũ ũcio ũgũtherio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, naguo hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio nĩagakorwo athirĩtwo nĩ thaahu.
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.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu angĩaga gwĩtheria, no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nĩ ũndũ nĩathaahĩtie handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova. Nĩgũkorwo ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu.
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.
Ũyũ nĩ watho wao wa gũtũũra. “Mũndũ ũcio wakũminjaminjanĩria maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu no nginya o nake athambie nguo ciake, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
22 And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
Kĩndũ gĩothe mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu akaahutia nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩndũ kĩu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.”
