Numbers 19
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 “This [is] a statute of the law which YHWH has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and they bring a red cow to you, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke has gone up;
“Este es el estatuto de la ley que Yahvé ha ordenado. Di a los hijos de Israel que te traigan una novilla roja sin mancha, en la que no haya ningún defecto, y que nunca haya sido unida.
3 and you have given it to Eleazar the priest, and he has brought it out to the outside of the camp, and has slaughtered it before him.
Se la daréis al sacerdote Eleazar, y él la llevará fuera del campamento, y la matará delante de él.
4 And Eleazar the priest has taken of its blood with his finger, and has sprinkled [it] toward the front of the face of the Tent of Meeting from its blood seven times;
El sacerdote Eleazar tomará un poco de su sangre con su dedo, y rociará su sangre hacia el frente de la Tienda de Reunión siete veces.
5 and [one] has burned the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he burns;
El sacerdote quemará la novilla delante de él; quemará su piel, su carne y su sangre, con su estiércol.
6 and the priest has taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and has cast [them] into the midst of the burning of the cow;
El sacerdote tomará madera de cedro, hisopo y escarlata, y lo echará en medio del incendio de la novilla.
7 and the priest has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward comes into the camp, and the priest is unclean until the evening;
Luego el sacerdote lavará sus vestidos y bañará su carne con agua, y después entrará en el campamento, y el sacerdote quedará impuro hasta la noche.
8 and he who is burning it washes his garments with water, and has bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean until the evening.
El que la queme lavará sus ropas con agua y bañará su carne con agua, y quedará impuro hasta la noche.
9 And a clean man has gathered the ashes of the cow, and has placed [them] at the outside of the camp in a clean place, and it has become a charge for the congregation of the sons of Israel for waters of separation—it [is for] sin;
“El hombre limpio recogerá las cenizas de la vaquilla y las depositará fuera del campamento, en un lugar limpio, y las guardará para la congregación de los hijos de Israel para usarlas en el agua para limpiar la impureza. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
10 and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer has washed his garments and is unclean until the evening; and it has been to the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst for a continuous statute.
El que recoja las cenizas de la vaquilla se lavará la ropa y quedará impuro hasta la noche. Será para los hijos de Israel, y para el extranjero que viva como forastero entre ellos, como un estatuto para siempre.
11 He who is coming against the dead body of any man is unclean [for] seven days;
“El que toque el cadáver de un hombre será impuro durante siete días.
12 he cleanses himself for it on the third day and on the seventh day, [and] he is clean; and if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he is not clean.
Al tercer día se purificará con agua, y al séptimo día quedará limpio; pero si no se purifica al tercer día, al séptimo no quedará limpio.
13 Anyone who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dies, and does not cleanse himself, he has defiled the Dwelling Place of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still on him.
El que toque a un muerto, el cuerpo de un hombre que ha muerto, y no se purifique, contamina el tabernáculo de Yahvé; y esa alma será cortada de Israel; porque el agua para la impureza no fue rociada sobre él, será impuro. Su impureza aún está sobre él.
14 This [is] the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who is coming into the tent and all that [is] in the tent are unclean [for] seven days;
“Esta es la ley cuando un hombre muere en una tienda: todo el que entre en la tienda, y todo el que esté en ella, será impuro durante siete días.
15 and every open vessel which has no covering of thread on it is unclean.
Toda vasija abierta, que no tenga cubierta atada, es inmunda.
16 And everyone on the face of the field who comes against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean [for] seven days;
“Cualquiera que en el campo abierto toque a un muerto con espada, o un cadáver, o un hueso de hombre, o una tumba, quedará impuro siete días.
17 and for the unclean person they have taken from the ashes of the burning of the [cow], and he has put running water over it into a vessel;
“En cuanto a los impuros, tomarán de la ceniza de la quema de la ofrenda por el pecado, y se derramará sobre ellos agua corriente en una vasija.
18 and a clean person has taken hyssop, and has dipped [it] in water, and has sprinkled [it] on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
La persona limpia tomará hisopo, lo mojará en el agua y lo rociará sobre la tienda, sobre todos los utensilios, sobre las personas que estaban allí y sobre el que haya tocado el hueso, o el muerto, o la tumba.
19 And the clean has sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and has cleansed him on the seventh day, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and has been clean in the evening.
El limpio rociará sobre el impuro al tercer día y al séptimo. Al séptimo día lo purificará. Lavará su ropa y se bañará con agua, y quedará limpio al anochecer.
20 And the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, indeed, that person has been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for he has defiled the sanctuary of YHWH; water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.
Pero el hombre que sea impuro y no se purifique, esa persona será cortada de entre la asamblea, porque ha profanado el santuario de Yahvé. El agua para la impureza no ha sido rociada sobre él. Es impuro.
21 And it has been for a continuous statute to them, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation washes his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean until the evening,
Será un estatuto perpetuo para ellos. El que rocíe el agua de la impureza lavará sus ropas, y el que toque el agua de la impureza quedará impuro hasta la noche.
22 and all against which the unclean person comes is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean until the evening.”
“Todo lo que toque el impuro será impuro, y el alma que lo toque será impura hasta la noche”.
