Numbers 19
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés e a Aarão, dizendo:
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.
Este é o estatuto da lei, que o Senhor ordenou, dizendo: Dize aos filhos de Israel que te tragam uma bezerra ruiva sem defeito, que não tenha mancha, e sobre que não subiu jugo.
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
E a dareis a Eleazar, o sacerdote; e a tirará fora do arraial, e se degolará diante dele.
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.
E Eleazar, o sacerdote, tomará do seu sangue com o seu dedo, e dele espargirá para a frente da tenda da congregação sete vezes.
5 Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
Então queimará a bezerra perante os seus olhos; o seu couro, e a sua carne, e o seu sangue, com o seu esterco se queimará.
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.
E o sacerdote tomará páu de cedro, e hissopo, e carmezim, e os lançará no meio do incêndio da bezerra.
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.
Então o sacerdote lavará os seus vestidos, e banhará a sua carne na água, e depois entrará no arraial, e o sacerdote será imundo até à tarde.
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.
Também o que a queimou lavará os seus vestidos com água, e em água banhará a sua carne, e imundo será até à tarde.
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.
E um homem limpo ajuntará a cinza da bezerra, e a porá fora do arraial, num lugar limpo, e estará ela em guarda para a congregação dos filhos de Israel, para a água da separação: expiação é.
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.
E o que apanhou a cinza da bezerra lavará os seus vestidos, e será imundo até à tarde: isto será por estatuto perpétuo aos filhos de Israel e ao estrangeiro que peregrina no meio deles.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Aquele que tocar a algum morto, cadáver de algum homem, imundo será sete dias.
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.
Ao terceiro dia se purificará com ela, e ao sétimo dia será limpo: mas, se ao terceiro dia se não purificar, não será limpo ao sétimo dia.
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.
Todo aquele que tocar a algum morto, cadáver de algum homem, que estiver morto, e não se purificar, contamina o tabernáculo do Senhor: e aquela alma será extirpada de Israel: porque a água da separação não foi espargida sobre ele, imundo será: está nele ainda a sua imundícia.
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.
Esta é a lei, quando morrer algum homem em alguma tenda: todo aquele que entrar naquela tenda, e todo aquele que estiver naquela tenda, será imundo sete dias.
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
Também todo o vaso aberto, sobre que não houver pano atado, será imundo.
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.
E todo aquele que sobre a face do campo tocar a algum que for morto pela espada, ou outro morto, ou aos ossos de algum homem, ou a uma sepultura, será imundo sete dias.
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.
Para um imundo pois tomarão do pó da queima da expiação, e sobre ele porão água viva num vaso
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.
E um homem limpo tomará hissopo, e o molhará naquela água, e a espargirá sobre aquela tenda, e sobre todo o fato, e sobre as almas que ali estiverem: como também sobre aquele que tocar os ossos, ou a algum que foi morto, ou que faleceu, ou uma sepultura.
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.
E o limpo ao terceiro e sétimo dia espargirá sobre o imundo: e ao sétimo dia o purificará; e lavará os seus vestidos, e se banhará na água, e à tarde será limpo
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.
Porém o que for imundo, e se não purificar, a tal alma do meio da congregação será extirpada; porquanto contaminou o santuário do Senhor: água de separação sobre ele não foi espargida; imundo é.
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.
Isto lhes será por estatuto perpétuo: e o que espargir a água da separação lavará os seus vestidos; e o que tocar a água da separação será imundo até à tarde
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.”
E tudo o que tocar ao imundo também será imundo; e a alma que o tocar será imunda até à tarde.
