1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo thĩinĩ wa watho ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere moori ndune ĩtarĩ kaũũgũ kana kameni, na ĩtarĩ yekĩrwo icooki.
“This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.
3 Mũmĩnengere Eleazaru, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai; ĩtwarwo nja ya kambĩ, na ĩthĩnjĩrwo hau mbere yake.
Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.
4 Nake Eleazaru, ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe thakame na kĩara gĩake, na amĩminjaminje maita mũgwanja amĩroretie na mwena wa mbere wa Hema-ya Gũtũnganwo.
Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
5 Nayo moori ĩyo ĩcinwo yothe akĩonaga, ũguo nĩ kuuga rũũa rwayo, na nyama, na thakame, o na taatha wayo.
Then the cow must be burned as he watches All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.
6 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio oe rũkũ rwa mũtarakwa, na mũthobi, na guoya wa rangi wa gakarakũ, aciikie igũrũ wa moori ĩyo ĩrahĩa.
The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.
7 Thuutha wa ũguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ. Thuutha ũcio no acooke kambĩ, no arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain unclean until the evening.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩcinaga moori ĩyo no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, na o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.
9 “Mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu acooke ahakũre mũhu ũcio wa moori ĩyo na aũige handũ hatarĩ na thaahu nja ya kambĩ. Mũhu ũcio ũigagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũhũthagĩrwo maaĩ-inĩ ma kũniina thaahu; ũcio nĩguo wa gũtheranagia kuuma mehia-inĩ.
Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from sin.
10 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩhakũraga mũhu wa moori ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake, o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũra harĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ageni arĩa matũũranagia nao.
The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.
11 “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ arĩikaraga arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.
12 No nginya etherie na maaĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja; hĩndĩ ĩyo athirwo nĩ thaahu. No angĩaga gwĩtheria mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, ndagaathirwo nĩ thaahu.
You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.
13 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na aage gwĩtheria, ũcio nĩathaahĩtie Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo oime Isiraeli. Tondũ ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, mũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu; thaahu wake ndũthirĩte.
If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.
14 “Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩrĩa mũndũ akuĩra hema-inĩ: Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩtoonya hema ĩyo, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wayo-rĩ, nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja,
The following regulation applies when a person dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
15 nakĩo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa nyũmba gĩgaakorwo gĩtarĩ gĩkunĩke nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.
16 “Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ na kũu nja ũngĩhutia mũndũ ũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire, kana mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ kana mbĩrĩra, ũcio nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
If you're out in the open and you touch someone who has been killed by the sword or who has died naturally, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, then you'll be unclean for seven days.
17 “Nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu, ĩkĩra mũhu wa moori ĩrĩa yacinĩtwo ĩrĩ ya gũtherania ndigithũ-inĩ, naguo ũitĩrĩrio maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.
18 Nake mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩoe mũthobi aũtobokie maaĩ-inĩ macio, na aminjaminjĩrie hema ĩyo na indo ciayo ciothe, na andũ arĩa maarĩ kũu thĩinĩ. Ningĩ no nginya aminjaminjĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũhutĩtie ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ, kana mbĩrĩra, kana mũndũ ũragĩtwo, kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire.
A man who is clean shall take some hyssop and dip it in the water. Then sprinkle the tent and everything inside it, and everybody who was there. He would also need to sprinkle you if you who touched a bone, or a grave, or someone who has died or has been killed.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩakaminjaminjĩria mũndũ ũcio ũrĩ na thaahu maaĩ macio mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩguo akamũtheria. Nake mũndũ ũcio ũgũtherio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, naguo hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio nĩagakorwo athirĩtwo nĩ thaahu.
The man who is clean is to sprinkle you both on the third day and on the seventh day. After you are purified on the seventh day, you must wash your clothes and yourself in water, and that evening you'll be clean.
20 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu angĩaga gwĩtheria, no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nĩ ũndũ nĩathaahĩtie handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova. Nĩgũkorwo ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu.
But if you don't purify yourself, you will be expelled from the Israelites, because you have made the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean. The water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and you remain unclean.
21 Ũyũ nĩ watho wao wa gũtũũra. “Mũndũ ũcio wakũminjaminjanĩria maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu no nginya o nake athambie nguo ciake, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
This is a permanent rule for the everyone. The man who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will be unclean until the evening.
22 Kĩndũ gĩothe mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu akaahutia nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩndũ kĩu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.”
Anything the unclean person touches will be unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.”
