< 民数記 19 >

1 ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまはく
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 ヱホバが命ずるところの律の例は是のごとし云くイスラエルの子孫に告て赤牝牛の全くして疵なく未だ軛を負しこと有ざる者を汝の許に牽きたらしめ
This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
3 汝ら之を祭司エレアザルに交すべし彼はまたこれを營の外に牽いだして自己の眼の前にこれを宰らしむべし
And all of you shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
4 而して祭司エレアザルこれが血を其指につけ集會の幕屋の表にむかひてその血を七次灑ぎ
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5 やがてその牝牛を自己の眼の前に燒しむべしその皮その肉その血およびその糞をみな燒べし
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6 その時祭司香柏と牛膝草と紅の絲をとりて之をその燒る牝牛の中に投いるべし
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7 かくて祭司はその衣服を浣ひ水にてその身を滌ぎて然る後營に入べし祭司の身は晩まで汚るるなり
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 even.
8 また之を燒たる者も水にその衣服を浣ひ水にその身を滌ぐべし彼も晩まで汚るるなり
And he that burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9 斯て身の潔き人一人その牝牛の灰をかき斂めてこれを營の外の清淨處に蓄へ置べし是イスラエルの子孫の會衆のために備へおきて汚穢を潔る水を作るべき者にして罪を潔むる物に當るなり
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
10 その牝牛の灰をかき斂めたる者はその衣服を浣ふべしその身は晩まで汚るるなりイスラエルの子孫とその中に寄寓る他國の人とは永くこれを例とすべきなり
And he that gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourns among them, for a statute for ever.
11 人の死屍に捫る者は七日の間汚る
He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 第三日と第七日にこの灰水を以て身を潔むべし然せば潔くならん然ど若し第三日と第七日に身を潔むることを爲ざれば潔くならじ
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 凡そ死人の屍に捫りて身を潔むることを爲ざる者はヱホバの幕屋を汚すなればイスラエルより斷るべし汚穢を潔むる水をその身に灑ざるによりて潔くならずその汚穢なほ身にあるなり
Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 天幕に人の死ることある時に應用ふる律は是なり即ち凡てその天幕に入る者凡てその天幕にある物は七日の間汚るべし
This is the law, when a man dies in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 凡そ蓋を取はなして蓋はざりし所の器皿はみな汚る
And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 凡そ刀劍にて殺されたる者または死屍または人の骨または墓等に野の表にて捫る者はみな七日の間汚るべし
And whosoever touches one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 汚れたる者ある時はかの罪を潔むる者たる燒る牝牛の灰をとりて器に入れ活水を之に加ふべし
And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18 而して身の潔き人一人牛膝草を執てその水にひたし之をその天幕と諸の器皿および其處に居あはせたる人々に灑ぐべくまたは骨あるひは殺されし者あるひは死たる者あるひは墓などに捫れる者に灑ぐべし
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19 即ち身の潔き人第三日と第七日にその汚れたる者に之を灑ぐべし而して第七日にはその人みづから身を潔むることを爲しその衣服をあらひ水に身を滌ぐべし然せば晩におよびて潔くなるべし
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 然ど汚れて身を潔ることを爲ざる人はヱホバの聖所を汚すが故にその身は會衆の中より絶るべし汚穢を潔むる水を身に灑がざるによりてその人は潔くならざるなり
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 彼等また永くこれを例とすべし即ち汚穢を潔むる水を人に灑げる者はその衣服を浣ふべしまた汚穢を潔むる水に捫れる者も晩まで汚るべし
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 凡て汚れたる人の捫れる者は汚るべしまた之に捫る人も晩まで汚るべし
And whatsoever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even.
