Numbers 19
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
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;
「耶和華命定律法中的一條律例乃是這樣說：你要吩咐以色列人，把一隻沒有殘疾、未曾負軛、純紅的母牛牽到你這裏來，
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.
交給祭司以利亞撒；他必牽到營外，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;
祭司以利亞撒要用指頭蘸這牛的血，向會幕前面彈七次。
5 and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
人要在他眼前把這母牛焚燒；牛的皮、肉、血、糞都要焚燒。
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、朱紅色線都丟在燒牛的火中。
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;
祭司必不潔淨到晚上，要洗衣服，用水洗身，然後可以進營。
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.
燒牛的人必不潔淨到晚上，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];
必有一個潔淨的人收起母牛的灰，存在營外潔淨的地方，為以色列會眾調做除污穢的水。這本是除罪的。
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潔淨到晚上，要洗衣服。這要給以色列人和寄居在他們中間的外人作為永遠的定例。」
11 'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;
「摸了人死屍的，就必七天不潔淨。
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.
那人到第三天要用這除污穢的水潔淨自己，第七天就潔淨了。他若在第三天不潔淨自己，第七天就不潔淨了。
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.
凡摸了人死屍、不潔淨自己的，就玷污了耶和華的帳幕，這人必從以色列中剪除；因為那除污穢的水沒有灑在他身上，他就為不潔淨，污穢還在他身上。
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;
「人死在帳棚裏的條例乃是這樣：凡進那帳棚的，和一切在帳棚裏的，都必七天不潔淨。
15 and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.
凡敞口的器皿，就是沒有紮上蓋的，也是不潔淨。
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;
無論何人在田野裏摸了被刀殺的，或是屍首，或是人的骨頭，或是墳墓，就要七天不潔淨。
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;
要為這不潔淨的人拿些燒成的除罪灰放在器皿裏，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.
必當有一個潔淨的人拿牛膝草蘸在這水中，把水灑在帳棚上，和一切器皿並帳棚內的眾人身上，又灑在摸了骨頭，或摸了被殺的，或摸了自死的，或摸了墳墓的那人身上。
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，潔淨的人要灑水在不潔淨的人身上，第七天就使他成為潔淨。那人要洗衣服，用水洗澡，到晚上就潔淨了。
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.
「但那污穢而不潔淨自己的，要將他從會中剪除，因為他玷污了耶和華的聖所。除污穢的水沒有灑在他身上，他是不潔淨的。
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,
這要給你們作為永遠的定例。並且那灑除污穢水的人要洗衣服。凡摸除污穢水的，必不潔淨到晚上。
22 and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
不潔淨人所摸的一切物就不潔淨；摸了這物的人必不潔淨到晚上。」
