Numbers 19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

2 “This is the ritual that the Lord has appointed for a victim. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you a red cow of full maturity, in which there is no blemish, and which has not carried a yoke.

Ko eni ʻae talatuku ʻoe fono ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ka nau ʻomi kiate koe ha pulu fefine mui kulokula taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele, pea teʻeki hoko ki ai ʻae haʻamonga:

3 And you shall deliver it to Eleazar the priest, who, having led it out beyond the camp, shall immolate it in the sight of all.

Pea te mou foaki ia kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ia ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao:

4 And dipping his finger in its blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times, opposite the door of the tabernacle.

Pea ko ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki te ne ʻave ʻae toto ʻi hono tuhu, ʻo ne luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ke liunga fitu:

5 And he shall burn it, while all are watching, delivering into the flame, not only its skin and flesh, but also the blood and dung.

Pea ʻe tutu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻae pulu fefine mui ʻi hono ʻao; te ne tutu hono kili mo hono kakano, mo hono toto, fakataha mo hono kinohaʻa:

6 Likewise, cedar wood, and hyssop, and twice-dyed scarlet he shall cast into the flame, by which the cow is consumed.

Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻakau ko e sita, mo e ʻisope, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, ʻo lī ia ki he loto afi ʻoku tutu ai ʻae pulu fefine.

7 And then finally, having washed his garments and his body, he shall enter into the camp, and he shall be deeply stained until evening.

Pea ʻe toki fō ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea te ne kaukauʻi hono sino ʻi he vai, pea te ne toki haʻu ki he ʻapitanga, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

8 Then he also who had burned it shall wash his garments and his body, and he shall be unclean until evening.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tutu ia ʻe fō ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻi he vai, pea ʻe kaukauʻi hono sino ʻi he vai, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

9 Then a clean man shall gather the ashes of the cow, and he shall pour them out beyond the camp, in a very pure place, so that they may be preserved for the multitude of the sons of Israel, and for the water of aspersion, because the cow was burned for sin.

Pea ʻe tānaki ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine, ʻo tuku ia ki he tuaʻā ʻapitanga, ʻi ha potu maʻa, pea ʻe tuku ia ki he kakai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e vai fakamavahe; ko e fakamaʻa ia ʻoe angahala.

10 And when he who had carried the ashes of the cow will have washed his garments, he shall be unclean until evening. The sons of Israel, and the newcomers who live among them, shall have this as a holy and perpetual right.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine ʻe fō ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, ka ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ko e fekau ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu ʻo lauikuonga.

11 Whoever touches the corpse of a man, and is, because of this, unclean for seven days,

Ko ia ʻoku ala ki ha sino mate ʻo ha tangata ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

12 shall be sprinkled from this water on the third and seventh days, and so shall he be cleansed. But if he was not sprinkled on the third day, he is not able to be cleansed on the seventh.

Pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaki ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ka ʻe toki maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho fitu: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamaʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻe ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻaho fitu.

13 Anyone who will have touched the dead body of a human life, and who has not been sprinkled with this mixture, pollutes the tabernacle of the Lord, and he shall perish out of Israel. For not having been sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his filth shall remain upon him.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ala ki he sino mate ʻo ha tangata mate, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa ia, ʻoku ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai luluku ʻaki ia ʻae vai fakamavahe, pea ʻe ʻuli ia, pea ʻoku kei ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene taʻemaʻa.

14 This is the law of a man who dies in a tent. All who enter into his tent, and all the vessels which are there, shall be polluted for seven days.

Ko e fono eni, ʻoka mate ha tangata ʻi ha fale fehikitaki: ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki he fale fehikitaki, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

15 The vessel that has no cover or binding over it shall be unclean.

Pea mo e ipu kotoa pē ʻoku ava pe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai hano tāpuni ke fakamaʻu, ʻe ʻuli ia.

16 If anyone in the field will have touched the corpse of a man, who was killed or who died on his own, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean for seven days.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ala ki ha taha, kuo taaʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe fonua, pe ha sino mate, pe ki ha hui ʻo ha tangata, pe ki ha faʻitoka, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

17 And they shall take some of the ashes from the burning and the sin offering, and they shall pour living waters over them into a vessel.

Pea tenau ʻave maʻana ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻae efu ʻoe pulu fefine kuo tutu, ko e meʻa fakamaʻa ia ʻoe angahala, pea tenau lilingi ʻae vaitafe ki ai ki ha ipu:

18 And into it a man who is clean shall dip hyssop, and he shall sprinkle from it the entire tent, and all its articles, and the men who were polluted by means of contact.

Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae ʻisope, ʻo ne fuʻifuʻi ki he vai, ʻo luluku ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki, pea mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo ia naʻe ala ki ha hui, pe ki ha taha kuo tāmateʻi, pe ki ha taha kuo mate, pe ki ha faʻitoka:

19 And so, in this manner, what is clean shall purify what is unclean, on the third and seventh days. And having been expiated on the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening.

Pea ʻe luluku ʻe he tangata ʻoku maʻa ʻae tangata ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mo hono ʻaho fitu, pea ko hono ʻaho fitu te ne fakamaʻa ai ia, ʻo fō hono ngaahi kofu, pea kaukauʻi ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe maʻa ia ʻi he efiafi.

20 If anyone has not been expiated by this ritual, his soul shall perish from the midst of the Church. For he has polluted the Sanctuary of the Lord, and he has not been sprinkled with purifying waters.

Ka ko e tangata ʻoku taʻemaʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamaʻa ia, ʻe tuʻusi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei he kakai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻe ia ʻae faletapu ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai luluku ʻaki ia ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavae; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia.

21 This precept shall be an everlasting ordinance. Likewise, the one who has sprinkled the waters shall wash his garments. All who will have touched the waters of expiation shall be unclean until evening.

Pea ko e fekau fai maʻuaipē ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko ia ʻoku ne luluku ʻaki ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavahe ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu; pea mo ia ʻoku ala ki he vai ʻoe fakamavahe ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

22 Whatever has been touched by something unclean will itself be made unclean. And the soul who touches any of these things shall become unclean until evening.”

Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ala ki ai ʻaia ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻe ʻuli ia; pea ko e tokotaha ʻoku ala ki ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
