Numbers 19
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
2 “This is a statute, a law which I am commanding you: Say to the people of Israel that they must bring to you a red heifer without flaw or blemish, and which has never carried a yoke.
“Ndị a bụ ụkpụrụ dị nʼiwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha wetara gị nwa nne ehi na-acha uhie uhie nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nke ụdọ yoku na-agabeghị nʼolu ya.
3 Give the heifer to Eleazar the priest. He must bring it outside the camp, and someone must kill it in front of him.
Nye ya Elieza onye nchụaja, ka ọ kpụrụ ya pụọ nʼazụ ogige, ebe otu onye ga-egbu ya mgbe ọ nọ na-ele ya anya.
4 Eleazar the priest must take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
Elieza bụ onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya na mkpịsịaka ya, fesa ya na ncherita ihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ugboro asaa.
5 Another priest must burn the heifer in his sight. He must burn its hide, flesh, and its blood with its dung.
Mgbe ahụ, onye ọzọ ga-akpọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ mgbe Elieza nọkwa na-ele ya anya. Ọ ga-akpọ akpụkpọ ya, anụ ya, ọbara na mgbịrị afọ ya ọkụ.
6 The priest must take cedarwood, hyssop, and scarlet wool, and throw it all into the middle of the burning heifer.
Onye nchụaja ga-ewere osisi sida, na osisi hisọp, na ogho uhie, tụba ha nʼetiti ebe ahụ a kpọrọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ.
7 Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water. Then he may come into the camp, where he will remain unclean until the evening.
Emesịa, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-asacha uwe niile o yi; sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-alọghachikwa azụ nʼime ogige ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
8 The one who has burned the heifer must wash his clothes in water and bathe in water. He will remain unclean until the evening.
Onye ahụ kpọrọ nwa ehi ahụ ọkụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa ọnọdụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo anyasị.
9 Someone who is clean must gather up the heifer's ashes and put them outside the camp in a clean place. These ashes must be kept for the community of the people of Israel. They will mix the ashes with water for purification from sin, since the ashes were from a sin offering.
“Mgbe ahụ, onye nke dị ọcha, ga-ekpokọta ntụ ozu nwa nne ehi ahụ, wụnye ya nʼebe dị ọcha nʼazụ ogige ahụ. Ebe ahụ ka nzukọ Izrel ga-edebe ya maka ikporo wụnye na mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ maka nsacha pụọ na mmehie.
10 The one who gathered the heifer's ashes must wash his clothes. He will remain unclean until the evening. This will be a permanent law for the people of Israel and the foreigners who stay with them.
Ma onye ahụ ga-ekpokọta ntụ nsure ọkụ nwa nne ehi ahụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya, nọkwaa dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi. Iwu a ga-adịgidere ndị Izrel na ndị ọbịa binyere ha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
11 Whoever touches the dead body of any man will be unclean for seven days.
“Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
12 Such a person must purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day. Then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself the third day, then he will not be clean on the seventh day.
Ha aghaghị iji mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha saa ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-adị ọcha. Ma ọ bụrụ na ha asaghị ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ nakwa nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ha ga-anọgide bụrụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ọ bụladị mgbe ụbọchị asaa ahụ gafesịrị.
13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself—this person defiles Yahweh's tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him. He will remain unclean; his uncleanness will remain on him.
Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ma ọ saghị ahụ ya dịka usoro a si dị, o merụọla ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewezuga onye dị otu a site nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ebe ọ bụ na a wụsaghị ya mmiri nsacha ahụ; ọ ga-anọgide bụrụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.
14 This is the law for when someone dies in a tent. Everyone who goes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
“Mgbe mmadụ nwụrụ nʼụlọ ikwu, ndị a ga-abụ iwu unu ga-eso. Ndị nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ mgbe ọ nwụrụ na onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, ga-abụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
15 Every open container with no cover becomes unclean.
Ihe ọbụla nke ghere oghe, nke na-enweghị ihe mkpuchi eriri e ji kechie elu ya, ga-abụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha.
16 Similarly, anyone outside a tent who touches someone who has been killed with a sword, any other dead body, a human bone, or a grave—that person will be unclean for seven days.
“Onye gara nʼọhịa metụ onye e gburu nʼagha aka, maọbụ onye nwụrụ nʼụzọ ọzọ dị iche, ma ọ bụkwanụ metụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ ili onye nwụrụ anwụ aka, ọ ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.
17 Do this for the unclean person: Take some ashes from the burnt sin offering and mix them in a jar with fresh water.
“Ma banyere onye ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, kporo ntụ site nʼime aja mmehie ahụ a kpọrọ ọkụ, tinye ya nʼime ite, wụkwasị ya mmiri e si nʼiyi na-eru eru kute.
18 Someone who is clean must then take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the containers inside the tent, on the persons who were there, and on anyone who touched the bone, the one who was killed, the one who died, or the grave.
Mgbe ahụ, nwoke nke nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha ga-ewere ụfọdụ hisọp, denye ya na mmiri ahụ fesaa ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ, na ngwongwo niile e ji dozie ụlọ ahụ, na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ọ ga-efesakwa ya nʼahụ onye ọbụla metụrụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ onye e gburu egbu, maọbụ onye nwụrụ anwụ ma ọ bụkwanụ ili aka.
19 On the third day and on the seventh day, the clean person must sprinkle the unclean person. On the seventh day the unclean person must purify himself. He must wash his clothes and bathe in water. At evening he will become clean.
Nwoke ahụ dị ọcha ga-efesakwa ndị ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa ka ọ ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha. Ndị ahụ a na-edo ọcha ga-asa uwe ha mmiri, saa ahụ ha, nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ ka ha ga-adị ọcha.
20 But anyone who remains unclean, who refuses to purify himself—that person will be cut off from the community, because he has defiled Yahweh's sanctuary. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he remains unclean.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ merụrụ onwe ha e doghị onwe ha ọcha, aghaghị iwepụ ha site nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel. Nʼihi na ha merụrụ ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. E fesakwaghị ha mmiri nke ịdị ọcha nʼahụ, nke mere na ha adịghị ọcha.
21 This will be an ongoing law concerning these situations. The one who sprinkles the water for impurity must wash his clothes. The one who touches the water for impurity will become unclean until evening.
Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide mgbe ebighị ebi. “Nwoke ahụ na-efesa mmiri ahụ e ji edo mmadụ ọcha, aghaghị ịsacha uwe ya niile. Onye ọbụla metụrụ mmiri nke ịdị ọcha ahụ aka, ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.
22 Whatever the unclean person touches will become unclean. The person who touches it will become unclean until evening.”
Ihe ọbụla kwa onye na-adịghị ọcha metụrụ aka, ga-aghọ ihe na-adịghị ọcha, onye ọbụla metụkwara ya aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.”
