Numbers 19
1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：
2 This is the ordinance of the lawe, which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speake vnto the children of Israel that they bring thee a red kow without blemish, wherein is no spot, vpon the which neuer came yoke.
「這是上主製定的法律，衪這樣命令你：你吩咐以色列子民，給你牽一頭無瑕，身上沒有殘缺，且沒有負過軛的紅母牛來。
3 And ye shall giue her vnto Eleazar ye Priest, that hee may bring her without the hoste, and cause her to be slaine before his face.
你們應將牛交給厄肋阿匝爾司祭，牽到營外，在他面前殺了。
4 Then shall Eleazar the Priest take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation seuen times,
厄肋阿匝爾用手指蘸些牛血，七次向會幕的前面灑血。
5 And cause the kow to be burnt in his sight: with her skinne, and her flesh, and her blood, and her doung shall he burne her.
以後在他眼前將牛焚燒；牛的皮、肉、血連糞，一起焚燒。
6 Then shall the Priest take cedar wood, and hyssope and skarlet lace, and cast them in the mids of the fire where the kow burneth.
同時司祭應取香柏木、牛膝草和朱紅線，扔在燒牛的火內。
7 Then shall the Priest wash his clothes, and he shall wash his flesh in water, and then come into the hoste, and the Priest shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.
以後司祭應洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後才可以回營。
8 Also he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and wash his flesh in water, and be vncleane vntill euen.
那焚燒牛的人，也應洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，但直到晚上仍然不潔。
9 And a man, that is cleane, shall take vp the ashes of the kow, and put them without the hoste in a cleane place: and it shalbe kept for the Congregation of the children of Israel for a sprinkling water: it is a sinne offring.
另一位潔淨的人收起牛灰，放在在營外潔淨的地方，為以色列子民會眾留下取潔水之用，因為這原是贖罪祭。
10 Therefore he that gathereth the ashes of the kow, shall wash his clothes, and remaine vncleane vntil euen: and it shalbe vnto the children of Israel, and vnto the stranger that dwelleth among them, a statute for euer.
那收斂牛灰的人，應洗自己的衣服，直到晚上不潔；這為以色列子民和僑居在你們中的外方人，是一條永久的法律。
11 Hee that toucheth the dead body of any man, shalbe vncleane euen seuen dayes.
凡摸了任何人屍體的，七天之久不潔。
12 Hee shall purifie himselfe therewith the third day, and the seuenth day he shall be cleane: but if he purifie not himselfe the thirde day, then the seuenth day he shall not be cleane.
第三日和第日，他應用那水取潔，他才潔淨；若在第三日和第七日不取潔，他仍然不潔。
13 Whosoeuer toucheth ye corps of any man that is dead, and purgeth not himselfe, defileth the Tabernacle of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from Israel, because the sprinkling water was not sprinkled vpon him: he shall be vncleane, and his vncleannesse shall remaine still vpon him.
任何人摸了屍首，即死人的身體，而不取潔，便玷污了上主的居所，這人應由以色列中剷除，因為取潔水沒有灑在他身上，他仍然不潔，不潔仍留在他身上。
14 This is the law, Whe a man dieth in a tent, all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes,
幾時在帳幕內死了一人，有這樣的規定：凡進這帳幕和所有在帳幕的人，七天之久不潔；
15 And all the vessels that bee open, which haue no couering fastened vpon them, shall be vncleane.
一切開著口，沒有蓋上蓋的器皿，都成了不潔的。
16 Also whosoeuer toucheth one that is slaine with a sworde in the fielde, or a dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a graue, shall be vncleane seuen dayes.
凡在田野門，摸了一個為刀所害，或自死的人，或人的骨骸，或墳墓的人，七天之久不潔。
17 Therfore for an vncleane person they shall take of the burnt ashes of the sinne offring, and pure water shalbe put thereto in a vessel.
為這樣不潔的人，應取些贖罪祭燒成的灰，放在在一器皿內，倒上活水。
18 And a cleane person shall take hyssope and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it vpon the tent, and vpon all the vessels, and on the persons that were therein, and vpon him that touched ye bone, or the slayne, or the dead, or the graue.
然後一潔淨的人拿牛膝草浸入水內，灑在帳幕上和其內的一切器皿並人身上，以及灑在那摸過骨骸或疲害死的，或自死的，或墳墓的人身卡。
19 And the cleane person shall sprinkle vpon the vncleane the third day, and the seuenth day, and hee shall purifie him selfe the seuenth day, and wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shalbe cleane at euen.
那潔淨的人應在第三日第七日上，灑那人不潔淨的人，到第七日才能使他潔淨；那人還應洗自己的衣服，在水中沐浴，到晚上就潔淨了。
20 But the man that is vncleane and purifieth not himselfe, that person shalbe cut off from among the Congregation, because hee hath defiled the Sanctuarie of the Lord: and the sprinkling water hath not bene sprinkled vpon him: therefore shall he be vncleane.
誰成了不潔的而不取潔，這人應由會眾中剷除，因為他玷污了上主的聖所，因取潔水沒有灑在他身上，他仍然不潔。
21 And it shalbe a perpetual lawe vnto them, that he that sprinkleth the sprinkling water, shall wash his clothes: also hee that toucheth the sprinkling water, shalbe vncleane vntill euen.
這為你們是一條永久的法律。那灑取潔水的，應洗自己的衣服；凡觸摸取潔水的，直到晚上不潔。
22 And whatsoeuer the vncleane person toucheth, shall be vncleane: and the person that toucheth him, shalbe vncleane vntill the euen.
凡不潔的人摸過的東西，也成了不潔的；與之接觸的人，也直到晚上不潔」。
