< Numbers 19 >
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Yahweh falou com Moisés e com Arão, 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 Yahweh ordenou. Diga aos filhos de Israel que lhe tragam uma novilha vermelha sem mancha, na qual não há defeito, e que nunca foi jungida.
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
Você a entregará a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e ele a trará para fora do acampamento, e alguém a matará diante de sua face.
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.
Eleazar, o sacerdote, tomará um pouco do sangue dela com o dedo, e aspergirá o sangue dela em direção à frente da Tenda da Reunião 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.
A novilha será queimada à sua vista; sua pele, e sua carne, e seu sangue, com seu esterco, será queimado.
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.
O padre pegará madeira de cedro, hissopo e escarlate e atirá-la-á no meio da queima da novilha.
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 suas vestes, e banhará sua carne em água, e depois entrará no acampamento, e o sacerdote ficará imundo até a noite.
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.
Aquele que a queimar lavará suas vestes em água, e banhará sua carne em água, e será imundo até a noite.
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.
“Um homem limpo recolherá as cinzas da novilha e as depositará fora do acampamento em um lugar limpo; e será guardado para a congregação das crianças de Israel para uso na água para limpeza de impurezas. É uma oferta pelo pecado.
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.
Aquele que recolher as cinzas da novilha lavará suas roupas, e ficará imundo até a noite. Será para os filhos de Israel, e para o estrangeiro que vive como um estrangeiro entre eles, por um estatuto para sempre.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
“Aquele que tocar o cadáver de qualquer homem será imundo por 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.
Ele se purificará com água no terceiro dia, e no sétimo dia estará limpo; mas se não se purificar no terceiro dia, então no sétimo dia não estará limpo.
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.
Quem tocar um morto, o corpo de um homem que morreu, e não se purificar, profanará o tabernáculo de Javé; e essa alma será cortada de Israel; porque a água para a impureza não foi aspergida sobre ele, ele será imundo. Sua impureza ainda está sobre ele.
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 um homem morre em uma tenda: todos que entram na tenda, e todos que estão na tenda, devem estar imundos sete dias.
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
Todo recipiente aberto, que não tem cobertura presa, é 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.
“Quem no campo aberto tocar alguém que for morto com uma espada, ou um cadáver, ou um osso de um homem, ou 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 os impuros, eles devem tomar das cinzas da queima da oferta pelo pecado; e água corrente deve ser derramada sobre eles em um recipiente.
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.
Uma pessoa limpa pegará o hissopo, mergulhá-lo-á na água e aspergi-lo-á sobre a tenda, sobre todos os vasos, sobre as pessoas que lá estavam e sobre aquele que tocou o osso, ou o morto, ou o morto, ou a 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.
A pessoa limpa deve aspergir sobre o impuro no terceiro dia, e no sétimo dia. No sétimo dia, ele o purificará. Ele lavará suas roupas e se banhará em água, e será limpo à noite.
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.
Mas o homem que for imundo, e não se purificar, essa alma será extirpada do meio da assembléia, porque contaminou o santuário de Iavé. A água para a impureza não foi aspergida sobre ele. Ele é impuro.
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.
Será um estatuto perpétuo para eles. Aquele que asperge a água para a impureza lavará suas roupas, e aquele que toca a água para a impureza será imundo até a noite.
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.”
“O que a pessoa imunda tocar será imundo; e a alma que tocar será imunda até a noite”.
