Numbers 19
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
2 “Èyí ni ohun tí òfin Olúwa pàṣẹ béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín. Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí wọn mú ẹgbọrọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù pupa tí kò lábùkù tàbí àbàwọ́n, lára èyí tí a kò tí ì di àjàgà mọ́.
“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 Ẹ mú fún Eleasari àlùfáà, yóò sì mu jáde lọ sí ẹ̀yìn ibùdó kí ó sì pa á ní ojú rẹ.
Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
4 Nígbà náà ni Eleasari àlùfáà yóò mú lára ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sórí ìka ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò sì wọn lẹ́ẹ̀méje ní ọ̀kánkán iwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
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 Ní ojú rẹ̀ ni àlùfáà yóò ti sun ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù yìí: awọ ara rẹ̀, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀, ẹran-ara àti ìgbẹ́ rẹ̀.
Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
6 Àlùfáà yóò mú igi kedari, hísópù àti òwú òdòdó yóò sì jù wọ́n sí àárín ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù tí a ń sun.
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 Lẹ́yìn náà, àlùfáà gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀, kí ó sì wẹ ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú omi lẹ́yìn náà ó lè wá sínú àgọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́ títí ìrọ̀lẹ́.
“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 Ẹni tí ó sun ún náà gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ kí ó sì wẹ̀ pẹ̀lú omi, òun náà yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́.
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 “Ẹni tó wà ní mímọ́ ni yóò kó eérú ọ̀dọ́ màlúù náà lọ sí ibi tí a yà sí mímọ́ lẹ́yìn ibùdó. Kí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli kó o pamọ́ fún lílò fún omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́. Ó jẹ́ ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
“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 Ọkùnrin tí ó kó eérú ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù náà gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀, òun náà yóò sì jẹ́ aláìmọ́ títí ìrọ̀lẹ́. Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ ìlànà láéláé fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti fún àwọn àjèjì tí ó ń gbé láàrín wọn.
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 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi ọwọ́ kan òkú ẹnikẹ́ni, yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́ fún ọjọ́ méje.
“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
12 Ó gbọdọ̀ wẹ ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú omi ní ọjọ́ kẹta àti ní ọjọ́ keje; nígbà náà ni yóò jẹ́ mímọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá jẹ́ pé kò wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́ ní ọjọ́ kẹta àti ní ọjọ́ keje yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́.
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 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi ọwọ́ kan òkú ẹnìkan tí kò sì wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ó ba àgọ́ Olúwa jẹ́. A ó ké irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ kúrò lára àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Nítorí pé a kò tí ì wọ́n omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ lé e lórí, ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́, àìmọ́ rẹ̀ sì wà lára rẹ̀.
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 “Èyí ni òfin tí ó jẹ mọ́ bí ènìyàn bá kú nínú àgọ́, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wọ inú àgọ́ àti ẹni tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ yóò di aláìmọ́ fún ọjọ́ méje,
“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 gbogbo ohun èlò tí a kò bá fi omọrí dé ni yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́.
Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
16 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wà ní ìta tí ó sì fi ọwọ́ kan ẹni tí a fi idà pa tàbí ẹni tí ó kú ikú àtọ̀runwá, tàbí bí ẹnìkan bá fi ọwọ́ kan egungun òkú ènìyàn tàbí isà òkú, yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́ fún ọjọ́ méje.
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 “Fún aláìmọ́ ènìyàn, mú eérú díẹ̀ lára eérú ọrẹ ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ sínú ìgò, kí o sì da omi tó ń sàn lé e lórí.
“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 Nígbà náà, ọkùnrin tí a yà sí mímọ́ yóò mú hísópù díẹ̀ yóò rì í sínú omi yóò sì fi wọ́n àgọ́ àti gbogbo ohun èlò tí a ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà níbẹ̀. O gbọdọ̀ tún fi wọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó fi ọwọ́ kan egungun òkú ènìyàn tàbí isà òkú, tàbí ẹni tí ó kú ikú ara rẹ̀, tàbí ẹni tí ó kú ikú àti ọ̀run wá.
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 Ọkùnrin tí ó mọ́ ni kí ó bu omi wọ́n àwọn ènìyàn aláìmọ́ ní ọjọ́ kẹta àti ọjọ́ keje, ní ọjọ́ keje ó gbọdọ̀ wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́. Ẹni tí a wẹ̀mọ́ gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ kí ó sì wẹ̀ pẹ̀lú omi, ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ ọjọ́ náà yóò mọ́.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹni tí ó bá jẹ́ aláìmọ́ kò bá wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́, a gbọdọ̀ gé e kúrò nínú ìjọ ènìyàn, nítorí wí pé ó ti ba àgọ́ Olúwa jẹ́. A kò tí ì fi omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ sí ara rẹ̀, ó sì jẹ́ aláìmọ́.
“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 Èyí jẹ́ ìlànà láéláé fún wọn. “Ọkùnrin tí ó wọ́n omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ náà gbọdọ̀ fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó fi ọwọ́ kan omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ yóò di aláìmọ́ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́.
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 Gbogbo ohun tí ẹni tí ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́ bá fi ọwọ́ kàn yóò di àìmọ́, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì fi ọwọ́ kàn án yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́.”
“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
