Mose 4 19
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “Esiae nye se si Yehowa de. Migblɔ na Israelviwo be woatsɔ nyinɔ dzĩ si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o, eye womede kɔkuti kɔ nɛ kpɔ o la vɛ na mi.
This is the observance of the victim, which the Lord hath ordained. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee a red cow of full age, in which there is no blemish, and which hath not carried the yoke:
3 Mitsɔe na nunɔla Eleazar, miana wòahee ayi asaɖa la godo, eye wòana ame aɖe nawui le eŋkume.
And you shall deliver her to Eleazar the priest, who shall bring her forth without the camp, and shall immolate her in the sight of all:
4 Ekema nunɔla Eleazar ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la zi adre ɖe Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu lɔƒo.
And dipping his finger in her blood, shall sprinkle it over against the door of the tabernacle seven times,
5 Le esia megbe la, wòana woatɔ dzo nyinɔ la, eƒe agbalẽ, eƒe lã, eƒe ʋu kple eƒe afɔdzi siaa le eŋkume.
And shall burn her in the sight of all, delivering up to the fire her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, and her dung.
6 Nunɔla Eleazar atsɔ sedati kple kakle ƒe alɔdze kple ka dzĩ ada ɖe dzo la me.
The priest shall also take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet twice dyed, and cast it into the flame, with which the cow is consumed.
7 Le esia megbe la, nunɔla anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, atrɔ ayi asaɖa la me, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
And then after washing his garments, and body, he shall enter into the camp, and shall be unclean until the evening.
8 Ame si tɔ dzo lã la hã anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eya hã ŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
He also that hath burned her, shall wash his garments, and his body, and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 “Ekema ame si ŋu kɔ la, aƒo nyinɔ la ƒe afi nu ƒu, eye woadae ɖe teƒe si ŋuti kɔ le asaɖa la godo afi si woadzrae ɖo na Israelviwo abe afi si woaku tsi le ene hena nuŋukɔkɔ ƒe wɔnawo na nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ɖa.
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow, and shall pour them forth without the camp in a most clean place, that they may be reserved for the multitude of the children of Israel, and for a water of aspersion: because the cow was burnt for sin.
10 Ame si ƒo ƒu nyinɔ la ƒe afi la anya eƒe awuwo, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Esia nye se na Israelviwo kple amedzro siwo le wo dome la tegbetegbe.
And when he that carried the ashes of the cow, hath washed his garments, he shall be unclean until the evening. The children of Israel, and the strangers that dwell among them, shall observe this for a holy thing by a perpetual ordinance.
11 “Ame sia ame si ka asi ame kuku ŋu la ŋuti makɔ o ŋkeke adre.
He that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is therefore unclean seven days,
12 Ele be wòakɔ eɖokui ŋuti le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia kple adrelia gbe kple tsi, si tso nyinɔ la ƒe afi me. Ekema eŋuti akɔ. Ne mewɔ esia le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia dzi o la, ekema eƒe ŋutimakɔmakɔ la ayi edzi adze le ŋkeke adrelia gɔ̃ hã ŋu.
Shall be sprinkled with this water on the third day, and on the seventh, and so shall be cleansed. If he were not sprinkled on the third day, he cannot be cleansed on the seventh.
13 Ame sia ame si aka asi ame kuku aɖe ŋu, eye mekɔ eɖokui ŋu le mɔ sia dzi o la gblẽ kɔ ɖo na Yehowa ƒe agbadɔ la, eye woaɖee ɖa le Israelviwo dome. Womehlẽ tsi kɔkɔe la ɖe eŋu o, eya ta makɔmakɔnyenye la gale eŋu ko.
Every one that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is not sprinkled with mixture, shall profane the tabernacle of the Lord, and shall perish out of Israel: because he was not sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.
14 “Se siwo dzi woawɔ ne ŋutsu aɖe ku le agbadɔ aɖe me la woe nye esiawo: Ame sia ame si ge ɖe agbadɔ la me kple ame siwo nɔ agbadɔ la me ɣe ma ɣi la ŋuti mekɔ o ŋkeke adre.
This is the law of a mall that dieth in a tent: All that go into his tent and all the vessels that are there, shall be unclean seven days.
15 Nu sia nu si nu nutunu mele o la ŋuti mekɔ o.
The vessel that hath no cover, nor binding over it, shall be unclean.
16 “Ne ame aɖe le gbedzi, eye wòka asi ame si wowu le aʋa me alo ame si ku le mɔ bubu aɖe nu ƒe kukua ŋuti alo ka asi ame kuku aɖe ƒe ƒu alo yɔdo ŋu la, eŋuti mekɔ o ŋkeke adre.
If any man in the field touch the corpse of a man that was slain, or that died of himself, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean seven days.
17 “Hena amea ŋuti kɔkɔ la, woatsɔ dzowɔ tso nyinɔ la ƒe numevɔsa ƒe dzowɔ me ade tsi dzidzi ƒe tsi me le tsiɖonu me.
And they shall take of the ashes of the burning and of the sin offering, and shall pour living waters upon them into a vessel.
18 Ekema ame si ŋuti kɔ la, atsɔ kakle ƒe alɔdzewo ade tsi la me, eye wòahlẽ tsi la ɖe agbadɔ la kple ze kple gagbɛ siwo katã nɔ agbadɔ la me kple ame si ƒe agbadɔ la me nɔnɔ alo eƒe asikaka ameƒu alo ame kuku aɖe alo yɔdo aɖe ŋu na be eŋuti mekɔ o la ŋu.
And a man that is clean shall dip hyssop in them, and shall sprinkle therewith all the tent, and all the furniture, and the men that are defiled with touching any such thing:
19 Woawɔ nu sia le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia kple adrelia gbewo. Emegbe la, amea anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋuti akɔ le fiẽ.
And in this manner he that is clean shall purify the unclean on the third and on the seventh day. And being expiated the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and be unclean until the evening.
20 “Ke ne ame aɖe ŋuti mekɔ o, gake wògbe be yemakɔ ye ɖokui ŋuti o la, woaɖee ɖa le ha me, elabena egblẽ kɔ ɖo na Yehowa ƒe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye esi womehlẽ ameŋukɔtsi la ɖe eŋu o ta la, eŋuti mekɔ o.
If any man be not expiated after this rite, his soul shall perish out of the midst of the church: because he hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord, and was not sprinkled with the water of purification.
21 Esia nye se na mi tegbetegbe. Ele be ame si hlẽ tsi kɔkɔe la ɖe amea ŋu la nanya eƒe awuwo emegbe. Ame sia ame si ka asi tsi la ŋu la ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
This precept shall be an ordinance for ever. He also that sprinkled the water, shall wash his garments. Every one that shall touch the waters of expiation, shall be unclean until the evening.
22 Nu sia nu si ŋu ame si ŋuti mekɔ o la ka asii la ŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.”
Whatsoever a person toucheth who is unclean, he shall make it unclean: and the person that toucheth any of these things, shall be unclean until the evening.
