Numbers 19
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
2 'This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
“耶和华命定律法中的一条律例乃是这样说：你要吩咐以色列人，把一只没有残疾、未曾负轭、纯红的母牛牵到你这里来，
3 and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.
交给祭司以利亚撒；他必牵到营外，人就把牛宰在他面前。
4 'And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;
祭司以利亚撒要用指头蘸这牛的血，向会幕前面弹七次。
5 and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
人要在他眼前把这母牛焚烧；牛的皮、肉、血、粪都要焚烧。
6 and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;
祭司要把香柏木、牛膝草、朱红色线都丢在烧牛的火中。
7 and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;
祭司必不洁净到晚上，要洗衣服，用水洗身，然后可以进营。
8 and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.
烧牛的人必不洁净到晚上，也要洗衣服，用水洗身。
9 'And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
必有一个洁净的人收起母牛的灰，存在营外洁净的地方，为以色列会众调做除污秽的水。这本是除罪的。
10 and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
收起母牛灰的人必不洁净到晚上，要洗衣服。这要给以色列人和寄居在他们中间的外人作为永远的定例。”
11 'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;
“摸了人死尸的，就必七天不洁净。
12 he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
那人到第三天要用这除污秽的水洁净自己，第七天就洁净了。他若在第三天不洁净自己，第七天就不洁净了。
13 Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.
凡摸了人死尸、不洁净自己的，就玷污了耶和华的帐幕，这人必从以色列中剪除；因为那除污秽的水没有洒在他身上，他就为不洁净，污秽还在他身上。
14 'This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;
“人死在帐棚里的条例乃是这样：凡进那帐棚的，和一切在帐棚里的，都必七天不洁净。
15 and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.
凡敞口的器皿，就是没有扎上盖的，也是不洁净。
16 'And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;
无论何人在田野里摸了被刀杀的，或是尸首，或是人的骨头，或是坟墓，就要七天不洁净。
17 and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;
要为这不洁净的人拿些烧成的除罪灰放在器皿里，倒上活水。
18 and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
必当有一个洁净的人拿牛膝草蘸在这水中，把水洒在帐棚上，和一切器皿并帐棚内的众人身上，又洒在摸了骨头，或摸了被杀的，或摸了自死的，或摸了坟墓的那人身上。
19 'And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.
第三天和第七天，洁净的人要洒水在不洁净的人身上，第七天就使他成为洁净。那人要洗衣服，用水洗澡，到晚上就洁净了。
20 'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
“但那污秽而不洁净自己的，要将他从会中剪除，因为他玷污了耶和华的圣所。除污秽的水没有洒在他身上，他是不洁净的。
21 'And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
这要给你们作为永远的定例。并且那洒除污秽水的人要洗衣服。凡摸除污秽水的，必不洁净到晚上。
22 and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
不洁净人所摸的一切物就不洁净；摸了这物的人必不洁净到晚上。”
