Numbers 19
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 “This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.
“Lamulo limene Yehova wapereka ndi ili: Uzani Aisraeli kuti abweretse ngʼombe yayikazi yofiira yopanda chilema chilichonse imenenso sinakhalepo pa goli.
3 Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.
Muyipereke kwa Eliezara, wansembe ndipo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa. Iphedwe iye ali pomwepo.
4 Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
Ndipo Eliezara wansembe atengeko ena mwa magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi chala chake ndi kuwaza kasanu nʼkawiri ku tsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano.
5 Then the cow must be burned as he watches All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.
Wansembeyo akuona, ngʼombeyo ayiwotche chikopa chake, mnofu wake, magazi ake ndi zamʼkati zake.
6 The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.
Wansembe atenge mtengo wamkungudza, hisope ndi kansalu kofiira ndipo aponye zimenezo pakati pa moto umene akuwotchera ngʼombeyo.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain 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 The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.
Munthu amene amawotcha ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
9 Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from 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 The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.
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 If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.
“Aliyense wokhudza mtembo wa munthu wina aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
12 You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.
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 If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.
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 The following regulation applies when a person dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for 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 Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.
ndiponso chiwiya chilichonse chopanda chivundikiro chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
16 If you're out in the open and you touch someone who has been killed by the sword or who has died naturally, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, then you'll be unclean for 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 This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.
“Za munthu wodetsedwayo: ikani phulusa lochokera ku nsembe ya chiyeretso mu mtsuko ndi kuthiramo madzi abwino.
18 A man who is clean shall take some hyssop and dip it in the water. Then sprinkle the tent and everything inside it, and everybody who was there. He would also need to sprinkle you if you who touched a bone, or a grave, or someone who has died or has been killed.
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 The man who is clean is to sprinkle you both on the third day and on the seventh day. After you are purified on the seventh day, you must wash your clothes and yourself in water, and that evening you'll be clean.
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 But if you don't purify yourself, you will be expelled from the Israelites, because you have made the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean. The water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and you remain unclean.
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 is a permanent rule for the everyone. The man who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will 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 Anything the unclean person touches will be unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.”
Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwayo achikhudze chidzakhala chodetsedwa ndiponso aliyense wochikhudza adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
