Mose 4 19

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 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:

3 Mitsɔe na nunɔla Eleazar, miana wòahee ayi asaɖa la godo, eye wòana ame aɖe nawui le eŋkume.

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:

4 Ekema nunɔla Eleazar ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la zi adre ɖe Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu lɔƒo.

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:

5 Le esia megbe la, wòana woatɔ dzo nyinɔ la, eƒe agbalẽ, eƒe lã, eƒe ʋu kple eƒe afɔdzi siaa le eŋkume.

And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

6 Nunɔla Eleazar atsɔ sedati kple kakle ƒe alɔdze kple ka dzĩ ada ɖe dzo la me.

And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

7 Le esia megbe la, nunɔla anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, atrɔ ayi asaɖa la me, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

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.

8 Ame si tɔ dzo lã la hã anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eya hã ŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.

And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, 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 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.

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 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.

11 “Ame sia ame si ka asi ame kuku ŋu la ŋuti makɔ o ŋkeke adre.

He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be 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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

15 Nu sia nu si nu nutunu mele o la ŋuti mekɔ o.

And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, [is] 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.

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.

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 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:

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 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:

19 Woawɔ nu sia le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia kple adrelia gbewo. Emegbe la, amea anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋuti akɔ le fiẽ.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

22 Nu sia nu si ŋu ame si ŋuti mekɔ o la ka asii la ŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.”

And whatever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until the evening.
