Numbers 19
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 This is the observance of the victim, which the Lord hath ordained. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee a red cow of full age, in which there is no blemish, and which hath not carried the yoke:
“Lamulo limene Yehova wapereka ndi ili: Uzani Aisraeli kuti abweretse ngʼombe yayikazi yofiira yopanda chilema chilichonse imenenso sinakhalepo pa goli.
3 And you shall deliver her to Eleazar the priest, who shall bring her forth without the camp, and shall immolate her in the sight of all:
Muyipereke kwa Eliezara, wansembe ndipo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa. Iphedwe iye ali pomwepo.
4 And dipping his finger in her blood, shall sprinkle it over against the door of the tabernacle seven times,
Ndipo Eliezara wansembe atengeko ena mwa magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi chala chake ndi kuwaza kasanu nʼkawiri ku tsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano.
5 And shall burn her in the sight of all, delivering up to the fire her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, and her dung.
Wansembeyo akuona, ngʼombeyo ayiwotche chikopa chake, mnofu wake, magazi ake ndi zamʼkati zake.
6 The priest shall also take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet twice dyed, and cast it into the flame, with which the cow is consumed.
Wansembe atenge mtengo wamkungudza, hisope ndi kansalu kofiira ndipo aponye zimenezo pakati pa moto umene akuwotchera ngʼombeyo.
7 And then after washing his garments, and body, he shall enter into the camp, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Zitatha izi, wansembeyo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndiponso asambe ndi madzi. Iye angathe kupita ku msasa, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
8 He also that hath burned her, shall wash his garments, and his body, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Munthu amene amawotcha ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow, and shall pour them forth without the camp in a most clean place, that they may be reserved for the multitude of the children of Israel, and for a water of aspersion: because the cow was burnt for sin.
“Munthu amene ndi woyeretsedwa achotse phulusa la ngʼombeyo ndi kuliyika pa malo woyeretsedwa kunja kwa msasa. Aisraeli adzasunge phulusalo kuti azikaligwiritsa ntchito polithira mʼmadzi woyeretsera ndi wochotsera tchimo.
10 And when he that carried the ashes of the cow, hath washed his garments, he shall be unclean until the evening. The children of Israel, and the strangers that dwell among them, shall observe this for a holy thing by a perpetual ordinance.
Munthu wochotsa phulusa la ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Ili likhale lamulo la nthawi zonse kwa Aisraeli ndi alendo okhala pakati pawo.
11 He that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is therefore unclean seven days,
“Aliyense wokhudza mtembo wa munthu wina aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
12 Shall be sprinkled with this water on the third day, and on the seventh, and so shall be cleansed. If he were not sprinkled on the third day, he cannot be cleansed on the seventh.
Adziyeretse yekha ndi madzi pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndipo adzayeretsedwa. Koma ngati sadziyeretsa yekha pa tsiku la chitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri sadzakhala woyeretsedwa.
13 Every one that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is not sprinkled with mixture, shall profane the tabernacle of the Lord, and shall perish out of Israel: because he was not sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.
Aliyense amene akhudza mtembo wa munthu nʼkulephera kudziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti wadetsa Nyumba ya Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa Aisraeli. Iye ndi wodetsedwa chifukwa sanamuwaze madzi oyeretsa; kudetsedwa kwake kukhalabe pa iyeyo.
14 This is the law of a mall that dieth in a tent: All that go into his tent and all the vessels that are there, shall be unclean seven days.
“Pamene munthu wamwalira mu tenti, lamulo lomwe ligwire ntchito ndi ili: Aliyense wolowa mu tentimo ndi amene anali momwemo adzakhala odetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri,
15 The vessel that hath no cover, nor binding over it, shall be unclean.
ndiponso chiwiya chilichonse chopanda chivundikiro chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
16 If any man in the field touch the corpse of a man that was slain, or that died of himself, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean seven days.
“Aliyense wokhudza munthu amene waphedwera kunja ndi lupanga kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe, kapena aliyense wokhudza fupa la munthu kapena manda, munthu ameneyo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
17 And they shall take of the ashes of the burning and of the sin offering, and shall pour living waters upon them into a vessel.
“Za munthu wodetsedwayo: ikani phulusa lochokera ku nsembe ya chiyeretso mu mtsuko ndi kuthiramo madzi abwino.
18 And a man that is clean shall dip hyssop in them, and shall sprinkle therewith all the tent, and all the furniture, and the men that are defiled with touching any such thing:
Tsono munthu woyeretsedwa atenge hisope, amuviyike mʼmadzi ndi kuwaza tentiyo ndi zipangizo zonse, pamodzi ndi anthu anali mʼmenemo. Ayenera kuwazanso aliyense wakhudza fupa kapena, munthu wochita kuphedwa, kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe kapenanso amene wakhudza manda.
19 And in this manner he that is clean shall purify the unclean on the third and on the seventh day. And being expiated the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and be unclean until the evening.
Munthu woyeretsedwa ndiye awaze munthu wodetsedwayo pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri amuyeretse. Munthu amene akuyeretsedwayo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi, ndipo madzulo ake adzakhala woyeretsedwa.
20 If any man be not expiated after this rite, his soul shall perish out of the midst of the church: because he hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord, and was not sprinkled with the water of purification.
Koma ngati munthu wodetsedwayo sadziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa gulu chifukwa anadetsa malo wopatulika a Yehova, popeza sanawazidwe madzi oyeretsa ndiye kuti ndi wodetsedwa.
21 This precept shall be an ordinance for ever. He also that sprinkled the water, shall wash his garments. Every one that shall touch the waters of expiation, shall be unclean until the evening.
Ili ndi lamulo lokhazikika kwa iwo. “Munthu amene amawaza madzi oyeretsawo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndipo yense wokhudza madzi oyeretserawo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
22 Whatsoever a person toucheth who is unclean, he shall make it unclean: and the person that toucheth any of these things, shall be unclean until the evening.
Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwayo achikhudze chidzakhala chodetsedwa ndiponso aliyense wochikhudza adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
