Numbers 19

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

2 “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.

Ko eni ʻae talatuku ʻoe fono ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ka nau ʻomi kiate koe ha pulu fefine mui kulokula taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele, pea teʻeki hoko ki ai ʻae haʻamonga:

3 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.

Pea te mou foaki ia kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ia ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao:

4 Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.

Pea ko ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki te ne ʻave ʻae toto ʻi hono tuhu, ʻo ne luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ke liunga fitu:

5 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.

Pea ʻe tutu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻae pulu fefine mui ʻi hono ʻao; te ne tutu hono kili mo hono kakano, mo hono toto, fakataha mo hono kinohaʻa:

6 The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer.

Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻakau ko e sita, mo e ʻisope, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, ʻo lī ia ki he loto afi ʻoku tutu ai ʻae pulu fefine.

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.

Pea ʻe toki fō ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea te ne kaukauʻi hono sino ʻi he vai, pea te ne toki haʻu ki he ʻapitanga, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

8 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tutu ia ʻe fō ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻi he vai, pea ʻe kaukauʻi hono sino ʻi he vai, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering.

Pea ʻe tānaki ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine, ʻo tuku ia ki he tuaʻā ʻapitanga, ʻi ha potu maʻa, pea ʻe tuku ia ki he kakai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e vai fakamavahe; ko e fakamaʻa ia ʻoe angahala.

10 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine ʻe fō ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ko e fekau ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu ʻo lauikuonga.

11 “He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

Ko ia ʻoku ala ki ha sino mate ʻo ha tangata ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

12 He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

Pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaki ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ka ʻe toki maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho fitu: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamaʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻe ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho fitu.

13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles Yahweh’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ala ki he sino mate ʻo ha tangata mate, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa ia, ʻoku ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai luluku ʻaki ia ʻae vai fakamavahe, pea ʻe ʻuli ia, pea ʻoku kei ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene taʻemaʻa.

14 “This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

Ko e fono eni, ʻoka mate ha tangata ʻi ha fale fehikitaki: ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki he fale fehikitaki, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

15 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.

Pea mo e ipu kotoa pē ʻoku ava pe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai hano tāpuni ke fakamaʻu, ʻe ʻuli ia.

16 “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ala ki ha taha, kuo taaʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe fonua, pe ha sino mate, pe ki ha hui ʻo ha tangata, pe ki ha faʻitoka, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

17 “For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel.

Pea tenau ʻave maʻana ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine kuo tutu, ko e meʻa fakamaʻa ia ʻoe angahala, pea tenau lilingi ʻae vaitafe ki ai ki ha ipu:

18 A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.

Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae ʻisope, ʻo ne fuʻifuʻi ki he vai, ʻo luluku ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki, pea mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo ia naʻe ala ki ha hui, pe ki ha taha kuo tāmateʻi, pe ki ha taha kuo mate, pe ki ha faʻitoka:

19 The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

Pea ʻe luluku ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae tangata ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mo hono ʻaho fitu, pea ko hono ʻaho fitu te ne fakamaʻa ai ia, ʻo fō hono ngaahi kofu, pea kaukauʻi ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe maʻa ia ʻi he efiafi.

20 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.

Ka ko e tangata ʻoku taʻemaʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamaʻa ia, ʻe tuʻusi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei he kakai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻe ia ʻae faletapu ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai luluku ʻaki ia ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavae; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia.

21 It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.

Pea ko e fekau fai maʻuaipē ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko ia ʻoku ne luluku ʻaki ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavahe ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu; pea mo ia ʻoku ala ki he vai ʻoe fakamavahe ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

22 “Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”

Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ala ki ai ʻaia ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻe ʻuli ia; pea ko e tokotaha ʻoku ala ki ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
