< Numbers 19 >
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
2 “I am now giving to you another regulation. Tell the Israeli people to bring to you one reddish-brown cow that has no defects. It must be an animal that (has never been/no one has ever) used for plowing ground.
Izao no lalàna hotandremana, izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah: Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba hitondrany vantotr’ ombivavy mena, izay tsy misy kilema na tsiny sady tsy mbola nasiana zioga.
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
Ary omeo ho an’ i Eleazara mpisorona iny, dia hasaina ho entina eny ivelan’ ny toby ka hovonoina eo anatrehany.
4 He must dip one of his fingers in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times [on the ground] near the Sacred Tent.
Dia hanalan’ i Eleazara mpisorona amin’ ny fanondrony ny ràny ka hafafiny impito manandrify ny trano-lay fihaonana.
5 Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
Dia hodorana eo imasony ilay vantotr’ ombivavy: ny hodiny sy ny henany ary ny ràny mbamin’ ny tain-drorohany dia hodorana avokoa.
6 Eliezer then must take a stick of cedar wood, a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop, and some scarlet/red yarn, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning.
Ary ny mpisorona dia haka hazo sedera sy hysopa ary jaky ka hanipy azy eo afovoan’ ny afo andoroana ny vantotr’ ombivavy.
7 “Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After doing that, he may return to the camp. But he will be unfit for doing any sacred work until that evening.
Dia hosasan’ ny mpisorona ny fitafiany, ary handro amin’ ny rano izy, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hankeo amin’ ny toby izy; ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ny mpisorona.
8 The man who burns the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be unacceptable to me until that evening.
Ary izay mandoro ilay ombivavy dia hanasa ny fitafiany sady handro amin’ ny rano, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.
9 “Then someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a (sacred place/place that is acceptable to me) outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to [use when they] mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.
Dia hangonin’ izay lehilahy madio anankiray ny lavenon’ ilay vantotr’ ombivavy ka hapetrany eo ivelan’ ny toby eo amin’ izay fitoerana madio anankiray, dia hotehirizina ho an’ ny fiangonan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany ho rano fanadiovana: fanatitra noho ny ota izany.
10 The man who gathers up the ashes of the cow must [also] wash his clothes, and he [also] will be unfit to do any more sacred work until that evening. That is a regulation that will never be changed. It must be obeyed by you Israeli people and by any foreigners who live among you.
Ary ilay nanangona ny lavenon’ ny vantotr’ ombivavy dia hanasa ny fitafiany, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; ary ho lalàna mandrakizay ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny vahiny eo aminy izany.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Izay mikasika fatin’ olona dia haloto hafitoana.
12 On the third day and on the seventh day [after touching a corpse], in order to become acceptable to me again, [they must have sprinkled on them] some of that water for removing the guilt of their sin. If they do not do that on both of those days, they will continue to be unacceptable to me.
Hanadio ny tenany amin’ izany rano izany izy amin’ ny andro fahatelo, ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hadio izy; fa raha tsy manadio ny tenany amin’ ny andro fahatelo kosa izy, dia tsy hadio amin’ ny andro fahafito.
13 All those who touch a corpse, and do not perform in the correct way the ritual to become acceptable to me again, defile Yahweh’s Sacred Tent. They will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people. The water to remove the guilt of sin was not sprinkled on them, so they continue to be unacceptable to me.
Izay rehetra mikasika fatin’ olona ka tsy manadio ny tenany dia mandoto ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely; satria tsy nofafazana ny rano fanadiovana izy, dia haloto: ny fahalotoany mbola eo aminy ihany.
14 “There is another ritual that must be performed when someone dies inside a tent. All those who were inside that tent when that person died or who enter that tent will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Izao no lalàna, raha misy olona maty ao an-day: Izay rehetra miditra ao an-day sy izay rehetra ao anatin’ ny lay dia haloto hafitoana.
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
Ary ny fanaka rehetra misokatra izay tsy misy rakotra voafehy aminy, dia haloto.
16 If someone who is out in a field touches the corpse of someone who was murdered, or who died from natural causes, or if someone touches a bone from some human or touches a grave, that person will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Ary izay rehetra mikasika izay matin-tsabatra any an-tsaha, na fatin’ olona, na taolan’ olona, na fasana, dia haloto hafitoana.
17 “For someone like that to become acceptable to me again, some of the ashes from [the cow] that was burned must be taken and put in a jar. Then some fresh water must be poured over the ashes.
Dia hangalana ho an’ ny maloto ny lavenon’ ilay nodorana teo ho fanatitra noho ny ota, ary hasiany rano nalaina tamin’ ny rano mandeha izany eo am-bilia.
18 Then someone who is still acceptable to me must take a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop and dip it into the water. Then that person must sprinkle some of the water on the tent where that person died, on the things that are in the tent, and on the people who were in the tent. He must also sprinkle some of that water on any person who touched a human bone or who touched a person who died, or who touched a grave.
Dia haka hysopa ny lehilahy madio anankiray ka hanoboka azy eo amin’ ny rano, dia hafafiny amin’ ny lay mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra sy ny olona izay eo ary ilay nikasika ny taolana, na ny novonoina, na ny matin’ aretina, na ny fasana.
19 On the third day and on the seventh day after that, the person who is acceptable to me must sprinkle some of that water on those who have become unacceptable to me. On the seventh day, the people who are performing that ritual to become acceptable to me again must wash their clothes and bathe. If they do that, on that evening they will become acceptable to me again.
Ary ny maloto dia hofafazan’ ilay olona madio amin’ ny andro fahatelo sy ny fahafito; dia hanadio ny tenany amin’ ny andro fahafito izy ka hanasa ny fitafiany sy handro amin’ ny rano, dia hadio rehefa hariva.
20 “If those who have become unacceptable to me do not become acceptable to me again by doing this, they will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people, because they have defiled my Sacred Tent. They did not sprinkle on themselves the water that removes the guilt of their sins, so they remain unacceptable to me.
Fa ny olona izay naloto ka tsy nanadio ny tenany dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fiangonana, satria nandoto ny fitoera-masin’ i Jehovah izy; ny rano fanadiovana tsy nafafy taminy: maloto izy.
21 That is a law for the Israeli people that will never be changed. Those who sprinkle that water on themselves must then wash their clothes. And anyone who touches that water which removes guilt for sins will remain unacceptable to God until that evening.
Dia ho lalàna mandrakizay aminy izany, fa izay mamafy ny rano fanadiovana dia hanasa ny fitafiany; ary izay mikasika ny rano fanadiovana dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.
22 “If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
Ary ny zavatra rehetra izay voakasiky ny maloto dia haloto; ary ny olona izay mikasika azy dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.
