Resansman 19
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 -Men yon regleman Seyè a bay lòd pou yo swiv tankou yon lwa: Men sa li di: Mande moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo fè ou jwenn yon gazèl pwal koulè wouj, ki pa gen okenn enfimite e ki poko janm travay.
“I am now giving to you another regulation. Tell the Israeli people to bring to you one reddish-brown cow that has no defects. It must be an animal that (has never been/no one has ever) used for plowing ground.
3 W'a renmèt Eleaza, prèt la, li. L'a fè l' soti andeyò limit kan kote moun yo rete a, epi l'a fè yo touye l' devan je li.
Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
4 Apre sa, Eleaza va pran ti gout nan san an. Epi, kote l' kanpe a, avèk dwèt li, l'a voye san an sèt fwa nan direksyon Tant Randevou a.
He must dip one of his fingers in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times [on the ground] near the Sacred Tent.
5 Lèfini, y'a boule tout bèt la nèt devan je prèt la: po a, vyann lan, san an ansanm ak tout tripay la.
Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
6 Prèt la va pran kèk moso bwa sèd, kèk branch izòp, yon moso twal wouj, l'a jete yo nan boukan dife kote gazèl la ap boule a.
Eliezer then must take a stick of cedar wood, a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop, and some scarlet/red yarn, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning.
7 Apre sa, prèt la va lave rad ki te sou li, l'a benyen nan gwo dlo. Lèfini, l'a tounen antre nan kan an. Prèt la p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè okenn sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.
“Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After doing that, he may return to the camp. But he will be unfit for doing any sacred work until that evening.
8 Moun ki te boule gazèl la va lave rad ki te sou l' a, epi l'a benyen nan gwo dlo tou. Li menm tou, li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè okenn sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.
The man who burns the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be unacceptable to me until that evening.
9 Yon lòt moun ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye va ranmase tout sann gazèl wouj la, l'a mete l' yon kote ki apa pou Bondye andeyò limit kan kote moun yo rete a. Y'a konsève sann lan pou lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo va bezwen pran ladan l' pou pare dlo y'a sèvi pou mete nenpòt bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò, lè y'ap fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon pou sa yo fè ki mal.
“Then someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a (sacred place/place that is acceptable to me) outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to [use when they] mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.
10 Nonm ki te ranmase sann gazèl la va lave rad ki te sou l' a, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè okenn sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè. Sa se va yon regleman pou tout moun nan peyi a toujou swiv, kit se moun pèp Izrayèl yo, kit se moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo.
The man who gathers up the ashes of the cow must [also] wash his clothes, and he [also] will be unfit to do any more sacred work until that evening. That is a regulation that will never be changed. It must be obeyed by you Israeli people and by any foreigners who live among you.
11 Depi yon moun manyen kadav yon moun mouri, pandan sèt jou apre sa, li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye.
“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
12 L'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye gras avèk dlo yo pare pou sa a sou twazyèm jou a ak sou setyèm jou a. Apre sa, l'a nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye. Men, si li pa fè sèvis pou mande Bondye gras sou twazyèm jou a ak sou setyèm jou a, li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye.
On the third day and on the seventh day [after touching a corpse], in order to become acceptable to me again, [they must have sprinkled on them] some of that water for removing the guilt of their sin. If they do not do that on both of those days, they will continue to be unacceptable to me.
13 Depi yon moun manyen kadav yon moun mouri, si li pa fè sèvis pou mande Bondye gras, piga li pwoche bò Tant Randevou a pou li pa derespekte tant lan. Si li fè sa, se pou yo touye l'. Se pou yo konsidere moun sa a tankou yon moun ki pa fè pati pèp Bondye a, paske yo pa t' voye dlo pou mete nan bon kondisyon an sou li, li pa nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye. Toutotan yo pa fè sèvis la pou li, l'ap rete nan kondisyon sa a.
All those who touch a corpse, and do not perform in the correct way the ritual to become acceptable to me again, defile Yahweh’s Sacred Tent. They will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people. The water to remove the guilt of sin was not sprinkled on them, so they continue to be unacceptable to me.
14 Men regleman pou yo swiv: lè yon moun mouri nan yon kay, tout moun ki te nan kay la lè lanmò a, ou ankò tout moun ki vin antre nan kay la apre sa, p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye pandan sèt jou.
“There is another ritual that must be performed when someone dies inside a tent. All those who were inside that tent when that person died or who enter that tent will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
15 Tout veso ki pa kouvri ak yon kouvèti byen mare sou li p'ap ka sèvi pou moun ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye.
Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
16 Konsa tou, depi yon moun k'ap mache nan jaden manyen kadav yon moun mouri, kit moun lan mouri mò natirèl, kit se ansasinen yo te ansasinen l', osinon depi yon moun manyen zosman yon moun mouri oswa tonm kote yo antere yon moun mouri, moun sa a p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye pandan sèt jou.
If someone who is out in a field touches the corpse of someone who was murdered, or who died from natural causes, or if someone touches a bone from some human or touches a grave, that person will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
17 Si yon moun ta rive nan kondisyon sa a konsa, y'a pran ti gout nan sann gazèl yo te boule pou wete peche a, y'a mete l' nan yon veso, epi y'a vide ti gout dlo dous sou li.
“For someone like that to become acceptable to me again, some of the ashes from [the cow] that was burned must be taken and put in a jar. Then some fresh water must be poured over the ashes.
18 Nan premye ka a, yon moun ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye va pran yon branch izòp, l'a plonje l' nan dlo a, epi l'a voye dlo sou kay la, sou tout bagay ki ladan l' ak sou tout moun ki te la nan kay la. Nan dezyèm ka a, l'a voye dlo a sou moun lan, kit li te manyen zosman moun mouri osinon kadav moun yo te ansasinen, osinon kadav moun ki te mouri mò natirèl, kit li te manyen yon tonm moun mouri.
Then someone who is still acceptable to me must take a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop and dip it into the water. Then that person must sprinkle some of the water on the tent where that person died, on the things that are in the tent, and on the people who were in the tent. He must also sprinkle some of that water on any person who touched a human bone or who touched a person who died, or who touched a grave.
19 Sou twazyèm jou a ak sou setyèm jou a, nonm ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye a va voye dlo a sou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye a. Sou setyèm jou a, l'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye gras pou nonm lan. Apre sa, nonm lan va lave rad ki sou l' a, l'a benyen nan gwo dlo. Men, se lè solèy va fin kouche la nan kondisyon ankò pou l' fè sèvis Bondye.
On the third day and on the seventh day after that, the person who is acceptable to me must sprinkle some of that water on those who have become unacceptable to me. On the seventh day, the people who are performing that ritual to become acceptable to me again must wash their clothes and bathe. If they do that, on that evening they will become acceptable to me again.
20 Men lè yon nonm pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, si li pa fè sèvis pou mande Bondye gras, se pou yo konsidere l' tankou yon moun ki pa fè pati pèp Bondye a. Li pa ka pwoche bò Tant Randevou a pou l' pa derespekte l'. Toutotan yo pa fè pou li sèvis voye dlo ki pou mete l' nan bon kondisyon an, l'ap rete nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
“If those who have become unacceptable to me do not become acceptable to me again by doing this, they will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people, because they have defiled my Sacred Tent. They did not sprinkle on themselves the water that removes the guilt of their sins, so they remain unacceptable to me.
21 Se va la yon regleman pou yo toujou swiv tout tan. Moun ki te voye dlo sou lòt la pou mete l' nan bon kondisyon an, va gen pou l' lave rad ki te sou l' a tou. Depi yon moun manyen dlo pou mete nan bon kondisyon an, li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk nan aswè menm jou a.
That is a law for the Israeli people that will never be changed. Those who sprinkle that water on themselves must then wash their clothes. And anyone who touches that water which removes guilt for sins will remain unacceptable to God until that evening.
22 Depi yon nonm ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye manyen yon bagay, moun ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye pa ka sèvi ak bagay sa a. Depi yon moun manyen yon bagay konsa, li menm tou, li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye jouk aswè rive.
“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
