Resansman 19
1 Senyè a te pale ak Moïse avèk Aaron e te di:
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 “Sa se règleman lalwa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a. Li te di: ‘Pale a fis Israël yo pou yo pote ba ou yon gazèl wouj, san defo, sou sila yon jouk pa t janm vin poze.
“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 Nou va bay li a Éléazar, prèt la, li va pote li deyò kan an, e touye li nan prezans 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, Éléazar, prèt la, va pran kèk nan san li avèk dwèt li, e flite kèk nan san li an pa devan tant asanble a sèt fwa.
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 Alò, gazèl la va brile devan zye li; po li, chè li avèk san li, avèk poupou li, va brile.
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 bwa sèd avèk izòp ak twal wouj, e li va jete li nan mitan gazèl k ap brile 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 Epi prèt la va lave vètman li yo, benyen kò li nan dlo, e apre, li va antre nan kan an.
“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 Sila ki brile li a, va osi lave kò li nan dlo, apre li va vini nan kan an, e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan 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 “‘Alò, yon nonm ki pwòp, va ranmase sann gazèl la pou depoze yo deyò kan an nan yon kote ki pwòp. Epi fis Israël yo va konsève li pou sèvi nan dlo pirifikasyon. Li se yon ofrann pou peche.
“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 Sila ki ranmase sann gazèl la va lave rad li, e li va rete pa pwòp pou jis rive nan aswè. Li va yon règleman ki pou tout tan pou fis Israël yo ak pou etranje ki rete pami yo a.
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 “‘Sila ki touche kadav a nenpòt moun, va pa pwòp pandan sèt jou.
“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
12 Li dwe pirifye tèt li avèk dlo nan twazyèm jou a ak nan setyèm jou a. Apre, li va pwòp. Men si li pa pirifye tèt li nan twazyèm jou a ak nan setyèm jou a, li p ap vin pwòp.
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 Nenpòt moun ki touche yon mò, kò a yon moun mouri, e li pa pirifye tèt li, li degrade tabènak a SENYÈ a; epi moun sa va koupe retire de Israël a. Akoz dlo pirifikasyon an pa t flite sou li, li va vin pa pwòp. Pa pwòp li a rete sou li.
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 “‘Sa se lalwa lè yon nonm mouri nan yon tant: tout moun ki antre nan tant lan ak tout moun ki deja nan tant lan, vin pa pwòp 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 louvri, ki pa gen kouvèti mare sou li, pa pwòp.
Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
16 “‘Osi, nenpòt moun ki nan chan louvri, e ki touche yon moun ki te touye pa nepe, oswa ki te mouri nenpòt jan, swa yon zo Kretyen oswa yon tonm, li va vin pa pwòp 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 “‘Alò, pou sila ki pa pwòp yo, yo va pran kèk nan sann pirifikasyon peche ki te brile a, e dlo k ap koule va mele avèk yo nan yon veso.
“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 Yon moun pwòp va pran izòp e fonse li nan dlo a, flite li sou tant lan ak sou tout zafè li yo, ak sou tout moun ki te ladann yo, tout sila ki te touche zo a, oswa sa ki te touye, oswa sa ki te mouri yon lòt jan, oswa yon tonm.
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 Alò, moun pwòp la va flite sou sila ki pa pwòp la nan twazyèm jou a ak nan setyèm jou a. Nan setyèm jou a, li dwe pirifye tèt li. Li va lave rad li, benyen nan dlo e li va pwòp nan aswè.
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 sila ki pa pwòp la, ki pa pirifye tèt li a, li va koupe retire nan mitan asanble a, akoz li te degrade sanktyè SENYÈ a. Dlo pirifikasyon an pa t flite sou li, e li pa pwòp.
“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 konsa sa va yon règleman pou tout tan pou yo. Sila ki flite dlo pirifikasyon an, va osi lave rad li, e sila ki touche dlo pirifikasyon an va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
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 Anplis, nenpòt bagay ke moun pa pwòp la touche, va vin pa pwòp. Moun ki touche li a, va vin pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.’”
“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
