Numbers 19

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,

2 “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.

“Ndị a bụ ụkpụrụ dị nʼiwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha wetara gị nwa nne ehi na-acha uhie uhie nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nke ụdọ yoku na-agabeghị nʼolu ya.

3 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.

Nye ya Elieza onye nchụaja, ka ọ kpụrụ ya pụọ nʼazụ ogige, ebe otu onye ga-egbu ya mgbe ọ nọ na-ele ya anya.

4 Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.

Elieza bụ onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya na mkpịsịaka ya, fesa ya na ncherita ihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ugboro asaa.

5 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.

Mgbe ahụ, onye ọzọ ga-akpọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ mgbe Elieza nọkwa na-ele ya anya. Ọ ga-akpọ akpụkpọ ya, anụ ya, ọbara na mgbịrị afọ ya ọkụ.

6 The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer.

Onye nchụaja ga-ewere osisi sida, na osisi hisọp, na ogho uhie, tụba ha nʼetiti ebe ahụ a kpọrọ nwa nne ehi ahụ ọkụ.

7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.

Emesịa, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-asacha uwe niile o yi; sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-alọghachikwa azụ nʼime ogige ahụ ebe ọ ga-anọ dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.

8 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.

Onye ahụ kpọrọ nwa ehi ahụ ọkụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa ọnọdụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo anyasị.

9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering.

“Mgbe ahụ, onye nke dị ọcha, ga-ekpokọta ntụ ozu nwa nne ehi ahụ, wụnye ya nʼebe dị ọcha nʼazụ ogige ahụ. Ebe ahụ ka nzukọ Izrel ga-edebe ya maka ikporo wụnye na mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha. Ọ bụ maka nsacha pụọ na mmehie.

10 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.

Ma onye ahụ ga-ekpokọta ntụ nsure ọkụ nwa nne ehi ahụ aghaghị ịsa uwe ya niile, sakwaa ahụ ya, nọkwaa dịka onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi. Iwu a ga-adịgidere ndị Izrel na ndị ọbịa binyere ha site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.

11 “He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

“Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.

12 He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he does not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

Ha aghaghị iji mmiri e ji asachapụ adịghị ọcha saa ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-adị ọcha. Ma ọ bụrụ na ha asaghị ahụ ha nʼụbọchị nke atọ nakwa nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ha ga-anọgide bụrụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ọ bụladị mgbe ụbọchị asaa ahụ gafesịrị.

13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the LORD’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.

Onye ọbụla metụrụ ozu mmadụ aka ma ọ saghị ahụ ya dịka usoro a si dị, o merụọla ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewezuga onye dị otu a site nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ebe ọ bụ na a wụsaghị ya mmiri nsacha ahụ; ọ ga-anọgide bụrụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.

14 “This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

“Mgbe mmadụ nwụrụ nʼụlọ ikwu, ndị a ga-abụ iwu unu ga-eso. Ndị nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ mgbe ọ nwụrụ na onye ọbụla banyere nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, ga-abụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.

15 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.

Ihe ọbụla nke ghere oghe, nke na-enweghị ihe mkpuchi eriri e ji kechie elu ya, ga-abụ ihe na-adịghị ọcha.

16 “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

“Onye gara nʼọhịa metụ onye e gburu nʼagha aka, maọbụ onye nwụrụ nʼụzọ ọzọ dị iche, ma ọ bụkwanụ metụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ ili onye nwụrụ anwụ aka, ọ ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa.

17 “For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel.

“Ma banyere onye ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, kporo ntụ site nʼime aja mmehie ahụ a kpọrọ ọkụ, tinye ya nʼime ite, wụkwasị ya mmiri e si nʼiyi na-eru eru kute.

18 A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.

Mgbe ahụ, nwoke nke nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha ga-ewere ụfọdụ hisọp, denye ya na mmiri ahụ fesaa ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu ahụ, na ngwongwo niile e ji dozie ụlọ ahụ, na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ọ ga-efesakwa ya nʼahụ onye ọbụla metụrụ ọkpụkpụ, maọbụ onye e gburu egbu, maọbụ onye nwụrụ anwụ ma ọ bụkwanụ ili aka.

19 The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

Nwoke ahụ dị ọcha ga-efesakwa ndị ahụ rụrụ arụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa ka ọ ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha. Ndị ahụ a na-edo ọcha ga-asa uwe ha mmiri, saa ahụ ha, nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ ka ha ga-adị ọcha.

20 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.

Ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ahụ merụrụ onwe ha e doghị onwe ha ọcha, aghaghị iwepụ ha site nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel. Nʼihi na ha merụrụ ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị. E fesakwaghị ha mmiri nke ịdị ọcha nʼahụ, nke mere na ha adịghị ọcha.

21 It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.

Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide mgbe ebighị ebi. “Nwoke ahụ na-efesa mmiri ahụ e ji edo mmadụ ọcha, aghaghị ịsacha uwe ya niile. Onye ọbụla metụrụ mmiri nke ịdị ọcha ahụ aka, ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.

22 “Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”

Ihe ọbụla kwa onye na-adịghị ọcha metụrụ aka, ga-aghọ ihe na-adịghị ọcha, onye ọbụla metụkwara ya aka ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ruo nʼuhuruchi.”
