Numbers 19
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke:
“Lamulo limene Yehova wapereka ndi ili: Uzani Aisraeli kuti abweretse ngʼombe yayikazi yofiira yopanda chilema chilichonse imenenso sinakhalepo pa goli.
3 and ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
Muyipereke kwa Eliezara, wansembe ndipo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa. Iphedwe iye ali pomwepo.
4 and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting 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 one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Wansembeyo akuona, ngʼombeyo ayiwotche chikopa chake, mnofu wake, magazi ake ndi zamʼkati zake.
6 and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
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 he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
Zitatha izi, wansembeyo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndiponso asambe ndi madzi. Iye angathe kupita ku msasa, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
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 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 sin offering.
“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 he that gathereth 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 sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
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 dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:
“Aliyense wokhudza mtembo wa munthu wina aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
12 the same shall purify himself therewith 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.
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 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth 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.
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 when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the tent, 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 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
ndiponso chiwiya chilichonse chopanda chivundikiro chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
16 And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, 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 for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
“Za munthu wodetsedwayo: ikani phulusa lochokera ku nsembe ya chiyeretso mu mtsuko ndi kuthiramo madzi abwino.
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 the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:
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 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 him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
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 the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is 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 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
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 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwayo achikhudze chidzakhala chodetsedwa ndiponso aliyense wochikhudza adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
