Números 19
1 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 Esta es la regla de la ley que ha hecho el Señor, diciendo: Da órdenes a los hijos de Israel para que te den una vaca roja sin ninguna marca en ella, y en la que nunca se haya puesto el yugo:
“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 Entrégala al sacerdote Eleazar y deja que la lleve fuera del campamento y haga que muera delante de él.
Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
4 Luego, el sacerdote Eleazar tome un poco de su sangre en su dedo, sacudiendo la sangre siete veces en dirección a la parte delantera de la Tienda de la reunión:
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 Y la vaca será quemada delante de él, su piel y su carne y su sangre y sus desechos serán quemados.
Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
6 Entonces el sacerdote toma madera de cedro e hisopo e hilo rojo, y los pone en el fuego donde arde la vaca.
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 Y el sacerdote, después de lavar su ropa y de bañar su cuerpo en agua, puede volver al campamento de la tienda, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
“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 Y el que arde debe lavar su ropa y su cuerpo en agua, y ser inmundo hasta la tarde.
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 Entonces un hombre limpio limpie la ceniza de la vaca quemada y colóquelo fuera del campamento de la tienda de reunión en un lugar limpio, donde se guardará para los hijos de Israel y se usará para hacer el agua de purificación; purificación; ofrenda por el pecado.
“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 Y el que levanta el polvo de la vaca quemada lavará sus ropas con agua y será inmundo hasta el anochecer: esto debe ser una ley para siempre, tanto para los hijos de Israel como para el hombre de Otro país que vive entre ellos.
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 Cualquiera que toque un cadáver será inmundo durante siete días:
“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
12 Al tercer día, y al séptimo día, se limpiará con el agua, y así estará limpio. Pero si no lo hace al tercer día y al séptimo día, no estará limpio.
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 Cualquiera que toque el cuerpo de un hombre muerto sin limpiarse de esta manera, deja la Tienda del Señor inmunda; y ese hombre será cortado de Israel; porque no le pusieron el agua, será inmundo; Su condición inmunda no ha cambiado.
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 Esta es la ley cuando la muerte llega a un hombre en su tienda: todos los que entran en ella, y todos los que están en la tienda, serán impuros durante siete días.
“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 Y todo recipiente abierto que no tenga una tapa fijada será inmundo.
Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
16 Y todo aquel que toque a alguien que ha sido muerto con la espada en el campo abierto, o el cuerpo de alguien que haya llegado a su fin por una muerte natural, o el hueso de un hombre, o el lugar de descanso de un Cuerpo muerto, será impuro por siete días.
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 Y para los inmundos, deben tomar el polvo de la quema de la ofrenda por el pecado, y poner agua corriente en un recipiente:
“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 Y una persona limpia debe tomar hisopo y ponerla en el agua, rociando sobre la tienda, y todos los recipientes, y las personas que estaban allí, y sobre él, por quien haya tocado el hueso o el cuerpo de uno. quién ha sido muerto con la espada, o el cuerpo de alguien que llegó a su fin por una muerte natural, o el lugar de descanso fue tocado.
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 Deje que la persona limpia le haga esto al impuro al tercer día y al séptimo día; y al séptimo día debe limpiarlo; y después de lavarse la ropa y bañarse con agua, estará limpio por la noche.
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 Pero el hombre que, siendo inmundo, no se limpia de esta manera, será separado de la reunión de la gente, porque ha contaminado el lugar santo del Señor: el agua no ha sido echada. sobre él es inmundo.
“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 Esto debe ser una ley para ellos para siempre: el que pone el agua sobre la persona inmunda debe lavarse la ropa; y cualquiera que toque el agua será inmundo hasta la tarde.
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 Todo lo tocado por la persona inmunda será inmundo; y cualquier persona que lo toque será inmundo hasta la noche.
“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
