< Numbers 19 >
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
“Ndị a bụ ụkpụrụ dị nʼiwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha wetara gị nwa nne ehi na-acha uhie uhie nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nke ụdọ yoku na-agabeghị nʼolu ya.
3 And all of you shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
Nye ya Elieza onye nchụaja, ka ọ kpụrụ ya pụọ nʼazụ ogige, ebe otu onye ga-egbu ya mgbe ọ nọ na-ele ya anya.
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
Elieza bụ onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya na mkpịsịaka ya, fesa ya na ncherita ihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ugboro asaa.
5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Mgbe ahụ, onye ọzọ ga-akpọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ mgbe Elieza nọkwa na-ele ya anya. Ọ ga-akpọ akpụkpọ ya, anụ ya, ọbara na mgbịrị afọ ya ọkụ.
6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Onye nchụaja ga-ewere osisi sida, na osisi hisọp, na ogho uhie, tụba ha nʼetiti ebe ahụ a kpọrọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
Emesịa, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-asacha uwe niile o yi; sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-alọghachikwa azụ nʼime ogige ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
8 And he that burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
Onye ahụ kpọrọ nwa ehi ahụ ọkụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa ọnọdụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo anyasị.
9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
“Mgbe ahụ, onye nke dị ọcha, ga-ekpokọta ntụ ozu nwa nne ehi ahụ, wụnye ya nʼebe dị ọcha nʼazụ ogige ahụ. Ebe ahụ ka nzukọ Izrel ga-edebe ya maka ikporo wụnye na mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ maka nsacha pụọ na mmehie.
10 And he that gathers 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 sojourns among them, for a statute for ever.
Ma onye ahụ ga-ekpokọta ntụ nsure ọkụ nwa nne ehi ahụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya, nọkwaa dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi. Iwu a ga-adịgidere ndị Izrel na ndị ọbịa binyere ha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
11 He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
“Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
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.
Ha aghaghị iji mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha saa ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-adị ọcha. Ma ọ bụrụ na ha asaghị ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ nakwa nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ha ga-anọgide bụrụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ọ bụladị mgbe ụbọchị asaa ahụ gafesịrị.
13 Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ma ọ saghị ahụ ya dịka usoro a si dị, o merụọla ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewezuga onye dị otu a site nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ebe ọ bụ na a wụsaghị ya mmiri nsacha ahụ; ọ ga-anọgide bụrụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.
14 This is the law, when a man dies in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
“Mgbe mmadụ nwụrụ nʼụlọ ikwu, ndị a ga-abụ iwu unu ga-eso. Ndị nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ mgbe ọ nwụrụ na onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, ga-abụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
15 And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
Ihe ọbụla nke ghere oghe, nke na-enweghị ihe mkpuchi eriri e ji kechie elu ya, ga-abụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha.
16 And whosoever touches one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
“Onye gara nʼọhịa metụ onye e gburu nʼagha aka, maọbụ onye nwụrụ nʼụzọ ọzọ dị iche, ma ọ bụkwanụ metụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ ili onye nwụrụ anwụ aka, ọ ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
“Ma banyere onye ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, kporo ntụ site nʼime aja mmehie ahụ a kpọrọ ọkụ, tinye ya nʼime ite, wụkwasị ya mmiri e si nʼiyi na-eru eru kute.
18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
Mgbe ahụ, nwoke nke nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha ga-ewere ụfọdụ hisọp, denye ya na mmiri ahụ fesaa ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ, na ngwongwo niile e ji dozie ụlọ ahụ, na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ọ ga-efesakwa ya nʼahụ onye ọbụla metụrụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ onye e gburu egbu, maọbụ onye nwụrụ anwụ ma ọ bụkwanụ ili aka.
19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
Nwoke ahụ dị ọcha ga-efesakwa ndị ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa ka ọ ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha. Ndị ahụ a na-edo ọcha ga-asa uwe ha mmiri, saa ahụ ha, nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ ka ha ga-adị ọcha.
20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ merụrụ onwe ha e doghị onwe ha ọcha, aghaghị iwepụ ha site nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel. Nʼihi na ha merụrụ ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. E fesakwaghị ha mmiri nke ịdị ọcha nʼahụ, nke mere na ha adịghị ọcha.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide mgbe ebighị ebi. “Nwoke ahụ na-efesa mmiri ahụ e ji edo mmadụ ọcha, aghaghị ịsacha uwe ya niile. Onye ọbụla metụrụ mmiri nke ịdị ọcha ahụ aka, ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
22 And whatsoever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even.
Ihe ọbụla kwa onye na-adịghị ọcha metụrụ aka, ga-aghọ ihe na-adịghị ọcha, onye ọbụla metụkwara ya aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.”
