Numbers 19
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
2 This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded, saying, —Speak unto the sons of Israel—That they bring unto thee a red heifer, without defect wherein is no blemish, and whereupon hath come no yoke.
Ista est religio victimæ, quam constituit Dominus. Præcipe filiis Israel, ut adducant ad te vaccam rufam ætatis integræ, in qua nulla sit macula, nec portaverit iugum:
3 Then shall ye give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall take her forth unto the outside of the camp, and she shall be slain before him;
tradetisque eam Eleazaro sacerdoti. qui eductam extra castram, immolabit in conspectu omnium:
4 and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, —and shall sprinkle towards the front of the tent of meeting: of her blood, seven times;
et tingens digitum in sanguine eius, asperget contra fores tabernaculi septem vicibus,
5 and the heifer shall be burned up before his eyes, —her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung shall be burned up.
comburetque eam cunctis videntibus, tam pelle et carnibus eius quam sanguine et fimo flammæ traditis.
6 Then shall the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and crimson, —and cast into the midst of the burning up of the heifer.
Lignum quoque cedrinum, et hyssopum, coccumque bis tinctum sacerdos mittet in flammam, quæ vaccam vorat.
7 And the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards come into the camp, —but the priest shall be unclean until the evening,
Et tunc demum, lotis vestibus et corpore suo, ingredietur in castra, commaculatusque erit usque ad vesperum.
8 And, he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, —and be unclean until the evening,
Sed et ille, qui combusserit eam, lavabit vestimenta sua, et corpus, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
9 Then shall a man that is clean gather up the ashes of the heifer, and put them by, outside the camp, in a clean place, —so shall they be for the assembly of the sons of Israel to keep for water of separation it is a taking away of sin.
Colliget autem vir mundus cineres vaccæ, et effundet eos extra castra in loco purissimo, ut sint multitudini filiorum Israel in custodiam, et in aquam aspersionis: quia pro peccato vacca combusta est.
10 Then shall he that gathered up the ashes wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —so shall it be for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst by a statute age-abiding.
Cumque laverit qui vaccæ portaverat cineres, vestimenta sua, immundus erit usque ad vesperum. Habebunt hoc filii Israel et advenæ, qui habitant inter eos, sanctum iure perpetuo.
11 He that toucheth the dead, even any human person, shall be unclean seven days.
Qui tetigerit cadaver hominis, et propter hoc septem diebus fuerit immundus:
12 He, shall cleanse himself from sin therewith on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he be clean, —but if he cleanse not himself from sin on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he not be clean,
aspergetur ex hac aqua die tertio et septimo, et sic mundabitur. Si die tertio aspersus non fuerit, septimo non poterit emundari.
13 Whosoever toucheth the dead the person of the human being that dieth and doth not cleanse himself from sin, the habitation of Yahweh, hath he made unclean; that person therefore shall be cut off out of Israel, —because, the water of separation, was not dashed upon him, unclean, shall he be, his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Omnis qui tetigerit humanæ animæ morticinum, et aspersus hac commistione non fuerit, polluet tabernaculum Domini, et peribit ex Israel: quia aqua expiationis non est aspersus, immundus erit, et manebit spurcitia eius super eum.
14 This, is the law—When, a human being, shall die in a tent, every one who goeth into the tent and every one who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days.
Ista est lex hominis qui moritur in tabernaculo: Omnes qui ingrediuntur tentorium illius, et universa vasa quæ ibi sunt, polluta erunt septem diebus.
15 And, in the case of every open vessel, on which no cover is fastened, unclean, it is.
Vas, quod non habuerit operculum, nec ligaturam desuper, immundum erit.
16 And, whosoever toucheth on the face of the field, one slain with a sword, or one who hath died, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Si quis in agro tetigerit cadaver occisi hominis, aut per se mortui, sive os illius, vel sepulchrum, immundus erit septem diebus.
17 And they shall take, for him that is unclean, of the ashes of the burning of the sin-bearer, —and living water shall be put thereon in a vessel,
Tollentque de cineribus combustionis atque peccati, et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas.
18 Then shall a man that is clean take hyssop, and dip in the water, and sprinkle upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons who were there, —and upon him that touched the bone or him who had been slain, or him who had died of himself or the grave;
in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hyssopum, asperget ex eo omne tentorium, et cunctam supellectilem, et homines huiuscemodi contagione pollutos:
19 and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean, on the third day, and on the seventh day, —so shall he cleanse himself from sin, on the seventh day, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water and be clean in the evening.
atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit immundum tertio et septimo die. expiatusque die septimo, lavabit et se et vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
20 But in the case of the man who shall be unclean and shall not cleanse himself from sin, that person shall be cut off, out of the midst of the convocation, —for, the sanctuary of Yahweh, hath he made unclean, the water of separation, hath not been dashed upon him unclean, he is.
Si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus, peribit anima illius de medio Ecclesiæ: quia sanctuarium Domini polluit, et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus.
21 So shall it be unto them for statute age-abiding, —and, he that sprinkleth the water of separation, shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening;
erit hoc præceptum legitimum sempiternum. Ipse quoque qui aspergit aquas, lavabit vestimenta sua: Omnis qui tetigerit aquas expiationis, immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
22 and, whatsoever the unclean person toucheth, shall be unclean, —and the person who toucheth it shall be unclean until the evening.
Quidquid tetigerit immundus, immundum faciet: et anima, quæ horum quippiam tetigerit, immunda erit usque ad vesperum.
