Numbers 19
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone:
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.
Intoy ty fañèm-pètse linili’ Iehovà: Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo ty hindesa’ iareo kiloa mena tsy aman-kandra ndra hila mbe lia’e tsy nanampezan-joka.
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
Atoloro i Elazare mpisoroñe, le hasese’e alafe’ i tobey ho lentaeñe añatrefa’e;
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.
le hangala’ i Elazare an-drambo-pità’e ty lio’e, vaho hafitse’e impito aolo’ i Kibohom-pamantañañey.
5 Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
Le horoañe am-pahaisaha’e i kiloay: Fonga forototoeñe ty holi’e, ty nofo’e, ty lio’e vaho ty tai’e.
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.
Le handrambe mendorave naho seva naho fole mena mañabarà i mpisoroñey vaho hatora’e añate’ i afo mamorototo i kiloaiy.
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.
Ho sasà’ i mpisoroñey amy zao o saro’eo, le hampiandroe’e an-drano i sandri’ey, vaho himoak’ an-tobe ao; fa haleotse am-para’ te hariva i mpisoroñey.
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.
Hanasa o siki’eo naho hiandro an-drano ka i nañoro azey, ie tsy halio am-para’ te hariva.
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.
Le havori’ t’indaty malio ty laveno’ i kiloay vaho hahaja’e an-toetse malio alafe’ i tobey ey, naho havandroñe ey ho amy valobohò’ o ana’ Israeleoy, ho ami’ty ranom-pandeorañe, toe fañeferan-kakeo.
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.
Hanasa ty siki’e i namory o lavenokeoy le tsy halio ampara’ te haleñe: ho fañè nainai’e tsy modo amo ana’ Israeleo naho amo renetane mpimoneñe am’ iereoo.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Ze mitsapa lolo, ndra t’ie fate’ ia’ia, ro haleotse fito andro.
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.
Hañefe’ batañe amy ranoy re ami’ty tsy haliova’e ami’ty andro fahatelo naho ami’ty andro faha-fito vaho halio; f’ie tsy mañefe-batañe amy andro fahateloy naho amy andro fahafitoy le tsy halio.
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.
Ze mitsapa lolo, ty fañova’ ondaty mate, vaho tsy mañefe-batañe, le mandeotse ty kivoho’ Iehovà. Haitoañe am’ Israele indatiy. Tsy halio re amy te tsy nafitse ama’e i rano-piambahañey, tambats’ ama’e i haleora’ey.
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.
Zao ty fetse te mivetrak’ añ’akiba ao t’indaty: ze mizilik’ añ’akiba ao naho ze am-po’e ao ro songa maleotse fito andro,
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
maleotse ka ze fanake tsy mitakoñe soa.
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.
Ze mitsapa ondaty vinonom-pibara an-kivoke ey ke ondaty mate avao, he taola’ ondaty, hera kibory, le haleotse fito andro.
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.
Aa naho i maleotsey: hangalañe ty laveno’ i namorototoañe ho fañeferan-kakeoiy, vaho añiliñan-drano malio ty fitovy;
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.
ho rambese’ t’indaty malio ty seva le halò’e amy ranoy vaho hafitse’e amy akibay naho amo fanake iabio naho am’ ondaty nizoeñeo naho amy nitsapa o taolañeo ndra i vinonoy ndra i loloy ndra i kiboriiy.
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.
Hafitse’ i malioy amy tsy malioy ami’ty andro fahatelo naho ami’ty andro faha-fito; ie amy andro faha-fitoy ro hiefetse, le ho sasà’e o siki’eo vaho hiandro an-drano, le halio te harivay.
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.
Fe t’indaty maleotse tsy miefetse amy haleora’ey, le haitoeñe amy valobohòkey indatiy, amy te nileore’e ty efe-miava’ Iehovà. Tsy nafitse ama’e i rano-kaleorañey; maleotse re.
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.
Fañè nainai’e ho a iareo izay. Hanasa ty siki’e i namitse i rano-kaleorañey, vaho haleotse am-para’ te hariva ze mitsapa i rano-kaleorañey.
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.”
Haleotse ze raha tsinapa’ i maleotsey, le haleotse am-para’ te haleñe t’indaty nitsapa aze.
