1 Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 “Seerri Waaqayyo ajaje kana: Akka Israaʼeloonni goromsa diimtuu hirʼina yookaan hanqina hin qabne kan takkumaa waanjoon morma ishee hin tuqin tokko siif fidan itti himi.
“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 Goromsa sanas Eleʼaazaar lubichatti kennaa; raaddi sunis qubata keessaa gad baafamtee fuula isaa duratti haa qalamtu.
Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
4 Eleʼaazaar lubichi quba isaatiin dhiiga goromsa sanaa irraa xinnoo fuudhee dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti yeroo torba haa facaasu.
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 Utuma inni ilaaluu gogaan, foon, dhiignii fi cumaan goromsa sanaa haa gubamu.
Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
6 Lubni sun qoraan birbirsaa, hiisophii fi kirrii bildiimaa goromsa gubamtu sanatti haa darbatu.
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 Lubni sun ergasii wayyaa ofii isaa miiccatee dhagna ofii isaa illee bishaaniin dhiqachuu qaba. Innis qubatatti galuu dandaʼa; garuu hamma galgalaatti akka seeraatti xuraaʼaa taʼee tura.
“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 Namichi goromsa sana gubus wayyaa isaa miiccatee dhagna isaa bishaaniin haa dhiqatu; innis hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼee tura.
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 “Namni qulqulluun tokko daaraa goromsa sanaa walitti haree qubata keessaa baasee iddoo seeraan qulqulluu taʼe tokko haa kaaʼu. Daaraa kanas waldaan Israaʼel bishaan ittiin qulqulleessan wajjin itti fayyadamuudhaaf ol kaaʼata; innis cubbuu irraa qulqulleeffamuuf fayyada.
“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 Namni daaraa goromsa sanaa walitti haru sunis wayyaa ofii isaa miiccachuu qaba; innis akkasuma hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa. Kunis Israaʼelootaa fi alagoota gidduu isaanii jiraataniif seera bara baraa taʼa.
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 “Namni reeffa nama kamii iyyuu tuqu bultii torba xuraaʼaa taʼa.
“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
12 Inni guyyaa sadaffaa fi guyyaa torbaffaatti bishaaniin of qulqulleessuu qaba; ergasii qulqulluu taʼa. Garuu yoo guyyaa sadaffaa fi torbaffaatti of qulqulleessuu baate inni hin qulqullaaʼu.
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 Namni reeffa nama kamii iyyuu tuqee of hin qulqulleessin hundi dunkaana Waaqayyoo qulqullicha sana xureessa. Namni sun saba Israaʼel keessaa ni balleeffama. Sababii bishaan ittiin qulqulleessan isatti hin facaafaminiif inni xuraaʼaa dha; xuraaʼummaan isaas isuma irratti hafa.
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 “Yeroo namni tokko dunkaana keessatti duʼutti seerri kana: Namni dunkaana sana seenu hundii fi namni dunkaana keessa jiru hundi bultii torbaaf xuraaʼaa taʼa;
“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 qodaan afaan banaa kan qadaadni jabeeffamee itti hin qadaadamin hundi xuraaʼaa taʼa.
Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
16 “Namni alatti nama goraadeedhaan ajjeefame yookaan nama ofumaan duʼe tuqu kam iyyuu yookaan namni lafee namaa yookaan awwaala tuqu kam iyyuu bultii torbaaf xuraaʼaa taʼa.
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 “Nama xuraaʼaaf aarsaa ittiin qulqulleessuuf gubame sana irraa daaraa xinnaa isaa fuudhii okkotee tokkotti naqiitii bishaan yaaʼu itti dhangalaasi.
“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 Ergasiis namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼe hiisophii xinnaa isaa fuudhee bishaan sana keessa cuuphee dunkaanaa fi miʼa isaa hundatti, namoota achi turanittis haa faffacaasu. Akkasumas nama lafee namaa yookaan awwaala yookaan nama ajjeefame yookaan nama ofumaan duʼe tuqetti haa faffacaasu.
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 Namichi qulqulluun sun guyyaa sadaffaa fi torbaffaatti namicha xuraaʼaa sanatti haa faffacaasu; guyyaa torbaffaatti immoo isa qulqulleessuu qaba. Namichi qulqulleefamu sun wayyaa ofii isaa miiccachuu, dhagna ofii isaas bishaaniin dhiqachuu qaba; innis galgala sana qulqulluu taʼa.
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 Garuu namni xuraaʼaan yoo of qulqulleessuu baate, inni sababii iddoo qulqulluu Waaqayyo xureesseef waldaa keessaa ni balleeffama. Bishaan ittiin qulqulleessan sun isatti hin facaafamneetii inni xuraaʼaa dha.
“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 Kun isaaniif seera bara baraa ti. “Namichi bishaan ittiin qulqulleessan faffacaasu sun wayyaa ofii isaa haa miiccatu; namni bishaan ittiin qulqulleessan tuqu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.
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 Wanni namni xuraaʼaan tokko tuqu kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa taʼa; namni waan sana tuqu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa.”
“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
