< Numbers 19 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
2 This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came a yoke:
“Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo thĩinĩ wa watho ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere moori ndune ĩtarĩ kaũũgũ kana kameni, na ĩtarĩ yekĩrwo icooki.
3 And ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:
Mũmĩnengere Eleazaru, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai; ĩtwarwo nja ya kambĩ, na ĩthĩnjĩrwo hau mbere yake.
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
Nake Eleazaru, ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe thakame na kĩara gĩake, na amĩminjaminje maita mũgwanja amĩroretie na mwena wa mbere wa Hema-ya Gũtũnganwo.
5 And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Nayo moori ĩyo ĩcinwo yothe akĩonaga, ũguo nĩ kuuga rũũa rwayo, na nyama, na thakame, o na taatha wayo.
6 And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio oe rũkũ rwa mũtarakwa, na mũthobi, na guoya wa rangi wa gakarakũ, aciikie igũrũ wa moori ĩyo ĩrahĩa.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
Thuutha wa ũguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ. Thuutha ũcio no acooke kambĩ, no arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩcinaga moori ĩyo no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, na o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
9 And a man [that is] clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel, for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.
“Mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu acooke ahakũre mũhu ũcio wa moori ĩyo na aũige handũ hatarĩ na thaahu nja ya kambĩ. Mũhu ũcio ũigagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũhũthagĩrwo maaĩ-inĩ ma kũniina thaahu; ũcio nĩguo wa gũtheranagia kuuma mehia-inĩ.
10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩhakũraga mũhu wa moori ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake, o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũra harĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ageni arĩa matũũranagia nao.
11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ arĩikaraga arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
No nginya etherie na maaĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja; hĩndĩ ĩyo athirwo nĩ thaahu. No angĩaga gwĩtheria mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, ndagaathirwo nĩ thaahu.
13 Whoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na aage gwĩtheria, ũcio nĩathaahĩtie Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo oime Isiraeli. Tondũ ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, mũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu; thaahu wake ndũthirĩte.
14 This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
“Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩrĩa mũndũ akuĩra hema-inĩ: Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩtoonya hema ĩyo, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wayo-rĩ, nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja,
15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, [is] unclean.
nakĩo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa nyũmba gĩgaakorwo gĩtarĩ gĩkunĩke nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
16 And whoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
“Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ na kũu nja ũngĩhutia mũndũ ũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire, kana mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ kana mbĩrĩra, ũcio nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
17 And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put to it in a vessel:
“Nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu, ĩkĩra mũhu wa moori ĩrĩa yacinĩtwo ĩrĩ ya gũtherania ndigithũ-inĩ, naguo ũitĩrĩrio maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
Nake mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩoe mũthobi aũtobokie maaĩ-inĩ macio, na aminjaminjĩrie hema ĩyo na indo ciayo ciothe, na andũ arĩa maarĩ kũu thĩinĩ. Ningĩ no nginya aminjaminjĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũhutĩtie ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ, kana mbĩrĩra, kana mũndũ ũragĩtwo, kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire.
19 And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩakaminjaminjĩria mũndũ ũcio ũrĩ na thaahu maaĩ macio mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩguo akamũtheria. Nake mũndũ ũcio ũgũtherio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, naguo hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio nĩagakorwo athirĩtwo nĩ thaahu.
20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him: he [is] unclean.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu angĩaga gwĩtheria, no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nĩ ũndũ nĩathaahĩtie handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova. Nĩgũkorwo ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening.
Ũyũ nĩ watho wao wa gũtũũra. “Mũndũ ũcio wakũminjaminjanĩria maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu no nginya o nake athambie nguo ciake, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
22 And whatever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until the evening.
Kĩndũ gĩothe mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu akaahutia nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩndũ kĩu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.”
