Nomery 19

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Izao no lalàna hotandremana, izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah: Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba hitondrany vantotr’ ombivavy mena, izay tsy misy kilema na tsiny sady tsy mbola nasiana zioga.

This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke;

3 Ary omeo ho an’ i Eleazara mpisorona iny, dia hasaina ho entina eny ivelan’ ny toby ka hovonoina eo anatrehany.

and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him.

4 Dia hanalan’ i Eleazara mpisorona amin’ ny fanondrony ny ràny ka hafafiny impito manandrify ny trano-lay fihaonana.

And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times.

5 Dia hodorana eo imasony ilay vantotr’ ombivavy: ny hodiny sy ny henany ary ny ràny mbamin’ ny tain-drorohany dia hodorana avokoa.

And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.

6 Ary ny mpisorona dia haka hazo sedera sy hysopa ary jaky ka hanipy azy eo afovoan’ ny afo andoroana ny vantotr’ ombivavy.

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

7 Dia hosasan’ ny mpisorona ny fitafiany, ary handro amin’ ny rano izy, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hankeo amin’ ny toby izy; ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ny mpisorona.

And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the even;

8 Ary izay mandoro ilay ombivavy dia hanasa ny fitafiany sady handro amin’ ny rano, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

9 Dia hangonin’ izay lehilahy madio anankiray ny lavenon’ ilay vantotr’ ombivavy ka hapetrany eo ivelan’ ny toby eo amin’ izay fitoerana madio anankiray, dia hotehirizina ho an’ ny fiangonan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany ho rano fanadiovana: fanatitra noho ny ota izany.

And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

10 Ary ilay nanangona ny lavenon’ ny vantotr’ ombivavy dia hanasa ny fitafiany, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; ary ho lalàna mandrakizay ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny vahiny eo aminy izany.

And he that hath gathered the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, an everlasting statute.

11 Izay mikasika fatin’ olona dia haloto hafitoana.

He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days.

12 Hanadio ny tenany amin’ izany rano izany izy amin’ ny andro fahatelo, ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hadio izy; fa raha tsy manadio ny tenany amin’ ny andro fahatelo kosa izy, dia tsy hadio amin’ ny andro fahafito.

He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 Izay rehetra mikasika fatin’ olona ka tsy manadio ny tenany dia mandoto ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely; satria tsy nofafazana ny rano fanadiovana izy, dia haloto: ny fahalotoany mbola eo aminy ihany.

Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 Izao no lalàna, raha misy olona maty ao an-day: Izay rehetra miditra ao an-day sy izay rehetra ao anatin’ ny lay dia haloto hafitoana.

This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15 Ary ny fanaka rehetra misokatra izay tsy misy rakotra voafehy aminy, dia haloto.

And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.

16 Ary izay rehetra mikasika izay matin-tsabatra any an-tsaha, na fatin’ olona, na taolan’ olona, na fasana, dia haloto hafitoana.

And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 Dia hangalana ho an’ ny maloto ny lavenon’ ilay nodorana teo ho fanatitra noho ny ota, ary hasiany rano nalaina tamin’ ny rano mandeha izany eo am-bilia.

And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel;

18 Dia haka hysopa ny lehilahy madio anankiray ka hanoboka azy eo amin’ ny rano, dia hafafiny amin’ ny lay mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra sy ny olona izay eo ary ilay nikasika ny taolana, na ny novonoina, na ny matin’ aretina, na ny fasana.

and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave;

19 Ary ny maloto dia hofafazan’ ilay olona madio amin’ ny andro fahatelo sy ny fahafito; dia hanadio ny tenany amin’ ny andro fahafito izy ka hanasa ny fitafiany sy handro amin’ ny rano, dia hadio rehefa hariva.

and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

20 Fa ny olona izay naloto ka tsy nanadio ny tenany dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fiangonana, satria nandoto ny fitoera-masin’ i Jehovah izy; ny rano fanadiovana tsy nafafy taminy: maloto izy.

And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean.

21 Dia ho lalàna mandrakizay aminy izany, fa izay mamafy ny rano fanadiovana dia hanasa ny fitafiany; ary izay mikasika ny rano fanadiovana dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

22 Ary ny zavatra rehetra izay voakasiky ny maloto dia haloto; ary ny olona izay mikasika azy dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.

And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
