اَلْعَدَد 19

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

٢ 2 «هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا إِلَيْكَ بَقَرَةً حَمْرَاءَ صَحِيحَةً لَا عَيْبَ فِيهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْلُ عَلَيْهَا نِيرٌ،

“This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.

٣ 3 فَتُعْطُونَهَا لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَتُخْرَجُ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَتُذْبَحُ قُدَّامَهُ.

Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.

٤ 4 وَيَأْخُذُ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ مِنْ دَمِهَا بِإِصْبِعِهِ وَيَنْضِحُ مِنْ دَمِهَا إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

٥ 5 وَتُحْرَقُ ٱلْبَقَرَةُ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. يُحْرَقُ جِلْدُهَا وَلَحْمُهَا وَدَمُهَا مَعَ فَرْثِهَا.

Then the cow must be burned as he watches All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.

٦ 6 وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ خَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَزُوفَا وَقِرْمِزًا وَيَطْرَحُهُنَّ فِي وَسَطِ حَرِيقِ ٱلْبَقَرَةِ،

The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَدْخُلُ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ. وَيَكُونُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain unclean until the evening.

٨ 8 وَٱلَّذِي أَحْرَقَهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ بِمَاءٍ وَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.

٩ 9 وَيَجْمَعُ رَجُلٌ طَاهِرٌ رَمَادَ ٱلْبَقَرَةِ وَيَضَعُهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي مَكَانٍ طَاهِرٍ، فَتَكُونُ لِجَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي حِفْظٍ، مَاءَ نَجَاسَةٍ. إِنَّهَا ذَبِيحَةُ خَطِيَّةٍ.

Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from sin.

١٠ 10 وَٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ رَمَادَ ٱلْبَقَرَةِ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ. فَتَكُونُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلْغَرِيبِ ٱلنَّازِلِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً.

The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.

١١ 11 «مَنْ مَسَّ مَيْتًا مَيْتَةَ إِنْسَانٍ مَّا، يَكُونُ نَجِسًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.

١٢ 12 يَتَطَهَّرُ بِهِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ يَكُونُ طَاهِرًا. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَطَهَّرْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ فَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ لَا يَكُونُ طَاهِرًا.

You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.

١٣ 13 كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ مَيْتًا مَيْتَةَ إِنْسَانٍ قَدْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَتَطَهَّرْ، يُنَجِّسُ مَسْكَنَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَتُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لِأَنَّ مَاءَ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ لَمْ يُرَشَّ عَلَيْهَا تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً. نَجَاسَتُهَا لَمْ تَزَلْ فِيهَا.

If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.

١٤ 14 «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ: إِذَا مَاتَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي خَيْمَةٍ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ دَخَلَ ٱلْخَيْمَةَ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.

١٦ 16 وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ قَتِيلًا بِٱلسَّيْفِ أَوْ مَيْتًا أَوْ عَظْمَ إِنْسَانٍ أَوْ قَبْرًا، يَكُونُ نَجِسًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.

١٨ 18 وَيَأْخُذُ رَجُلٌ طَاهِرٌ زُوفَا وَيَغْمِسُهَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ وَيَنْضِحُهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا هُنَاكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِي مَسَّ ٱلْعَظْمَ أَوِ ٱلْقَتِيلَ أَوِ ٱلْمَيْتَ أَوِ ٱلْقَبْرَ.
