Números 19
1 Yavé habló a Moisés y a Aarón:
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Ésta es la ordenanza de la Ley que Yavé ordenó: Dí a los hijos de Israel que te traigan una vaca bermeja, perfecta, en la cual no haya defecto, sobre la cual no se haya puesto yugo.
“This [is] a statute of the law which YHWH has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and they bring a red cow to you, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke has gone up;
3 La darán al sacerdote Eleazar, quien la sacará fuera del campamento, y [uno] la degollará en presencia de él.
and you have given it to Eleazar the priest, and he has brought it out to the outside of the camp, and has slaughtered it before him.
4 Luego el sacerdote Eleazar tomará de su sangre con su dedo, y con esa sangre rociará siete veces hacia la parte delantera del Tabernáculo de Reunión.
And Eleazar the priest has taken of its blood with his finger, and has sprinkled [it] toward the front of the face of the Tent of Meeting from its blood seven times;
5 Después [uno] quemará la vaca delante de él. Se quemará la piel, la carne, la sangre y el estiércol.
and [one] has burned the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he burns;
6 El sacerdote tomará un palo de cedro, un hisopo y escarlata, y los echará en medio de la hoguera de la vaca.
and the priest has taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and has cast [them] into the midst of the burning of the cow;
7 El sacerdote lavará sus vestiduras con agua, lavará su cuerpo en agua y después entrará en el campamento, pero el sacerdote quedará impuro hasta llegar la noche.
and the priest has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward comes into the camp, and the priest is unclean until the evening;
8 También el que la quemó lavará su ropa y su cuerpo con agua, y será impuro hasta llegar la noche.
and he who is burning it washes his garments with water, and has bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean until the evening.
9 Luego, un hombre purificado recogerá las cenizas de la vaca y las pondrá en un lugar limpio fuera del campamento. La congregación de los hijos de Israel las guardará para [preparar] el agua que limpia de impureza.
And a clean man has gathered the ashes of the cow, and has placed [them] at the outside of the camp in a clean place, and it has become a charge for the congregation of the sons of Israel for waters of separation—it [is for] sin;
10 El que haya recogido las cenizas de la vaca lavará sus ropas y quedará impuro hasta llegar la noche. Esto será estatuto perpetuo para los hijos de Israel y el extranjero que peregrina entre ellos.
and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer has washed his garments and is unclean until the evening; and it has been to the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst for a continuous statute.
11 El que toque el cadáver de una persona será impuro siete días.
He who is coming against the dead body of any man is unclean [for] seven days;
12 Al tercer día se purificará con esa agua, y al séptimo día quedará limpio. Pero si al tercer día no se purifica, no quedará limpio al séptimo día.
he cleanses himself for it on the third day and on the seventh day, [and] he is clean; and if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he is not clean.
13 Todo el que toque el cadáver de una persona, y no se purifique, contamina el Tabernáculo de Yavé. Esta persona será cortada de Israel, por cuanto el agua para la impureza no fue rociada sobre él. Será impuro y su impureza estará sobre él.
Anyone who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dies, and does not cleanse himself, he has defiled the Dwelling Place of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still on him.
14 Esta es la Ley para cuando un hombre muera en una tienda: Todo el que entre en la tienda y todo el que esté en ella, estará impuro siete días.
This [is] the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who is coming into the tent and all that [is] in the tent are unclean [for] seven days;
15 Toda vasija abierta que no tenga la tapa bien ajustada quedará impura.
and every open vessel which has no covering of thread on it is unclean.
16 Cualquiera que toque un muerto por espada en el campo, o cualquier muerto, osamenta o sepulcro, quedará impuro siete días.
And everyone on the face of the field who comes against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean [for] seven days;
17 Para ese impuro se tomará ceniza de la vaca quemada en el sacrificio que apacigua, y se echará agua corriente sobre ella en una vasija.
and for the unclean person they have taken from the ashes of the burning of the [cow], and he has put running water over it into a vessel;
18 Luego, un hombre purificado tomará una rama de hisopo y la mojará en el agua. Rociará la tienda, todos los utensilios y a las personas que estén allí junto con aquel que haya tocado la osamenta, el cadáver o el sepulcro.
and a clean person has taken hyssop, and has dipped [it] in water, and has sprinkled [it] on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
19 El tercero y el séptimo día, el que está purificado rociará al impuro. Cuando lo haya purificado el séptimo día, lavará sus ropas y se lavará en agua. Al llegar la noche quedará purificado.
And the clean has sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and has cleansed him on the seventh day, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and has been clean in the evening.
20 Pero el que esté impuro y no se purifique, esa persona será cortada de en medio de la congregación, porque contaminó el Santuario de Yavé. El agua para la impureza no se roció sobre él, por tanto es impuro.
And the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, indeed, that person has been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for he has defiled the sanctuary of YHWH; water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.
21 Les será estatuto perpetuo. El que roció el agua para la purificación lavará sus ropas, y el que sacó el agua para la purificación será impura hasta llegar la noche.
And it has been for a continuous statute to them, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation washes his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean until the evening,
22 Todo lo que el impuro toque será impuro, y la persona que lo toque quedará impuro hasta llegar la noche.
and all against which the unclean person comes is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean until the evening.”
