¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

¹Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

²`This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;

²'See on Seaduse määrus, mille Issand on andnud, öeldes: Ütle Iisraeli lastele, et nad tooksid sulle ühe punase veatu lehma, kellel ei ole kehalist viga, kelle peale veel ei ole iket pandud.

³and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.

³Andke see preester Eleasarile; see viidagu väljapoole leeri ja tapetagu tema silma all!

⁴`And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;

⁴Siis preester Eleasar võtku oma sõrmega verd ja piserdagu verd kogudusetelgi esikülje poole seitse korda!

⁵and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;

⁵Ja lehm põletatagu tema silma all; selle nahk, liha ja veri põletatagu koos sisikonnaga!

⁶and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;

⁶Ja preester võtku seedripuud, iisopit ja helepunast lõnga ja visaku need keset lehmapõletust!

⁷and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;

⁷Siis preester pesku oma riided ja loputagu oma ihu veega; seejärel ta võib tulla leeri; aga preester on õhtuni roojane!

⁸and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.

⁸Ka see, kes selle põletas, pesku oma riided veega ja loputagu oma ihu veega, ja ta on õhtuni roojane!

⁹`And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];

⁹Aga üks puhas mees koristagu kokku lehma tuhk ja pangu see väljapoole leeri ühte puhtasse paika; seda säilitatagu Iisraeli laste kogudusele puhastusvee jaoks! See on patuohver.

¹⁰and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.

¹⁰Ja kes lehma tuha kokku koristab, pesku oma riided, ja ta on õhtuni roojane. See olgu igaveseks seaduseks Iisraeli lastele ja võõrale, kes elab nende keskel!

¹¹`He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;

¹¹Kes puudutab mõne inimese laipa, see on seitse päeva roojane.

¹²he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.

¹²Ta puhastagu ennast kolmandal ja seitsmendal päeval, siis ta saab puhtaks; aga kui ta kolmandal ja seitsmendal päeval ennast ei puhasta, siis ta ei saa puhtaks.

¹³Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.

¹³Igaüks, kes puudutab surnut, mõnda surnud inimest, aga ei puhasta ennast, see roojastab Issanda eluaset ja see hing tuleb hävitada Iisraelist, sest tema peale ei ole piserdatud puhastusvett: ta on roojane, tema roojasus on üha ta peal!

¹⁴`This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;

¹⁴Niisugune on seadus, kui inimene sureb telgis: igaüks, kes tuleb telki, ja igaüks, kes on telgis, on seitse päeva roojane.

¹⁵and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.

¹⁵Ja iga lahtine astja, mis ei ole pealt kinni seotud, on roojane.

¹⁶`And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;

¹⁶Ja igaüks, kes väljal puudutab mõõgaga tapetut või muidu surnut, või inimese luud või hauda, on seitse päeva roojane.

¹⁷and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;

¹⁷Aga seesuguse roojase pärast võetagu põletatud patuohvri põrmu ja valatagu selle peale astjasse värsket vett!

¹⁸and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.

¹⁸Siis võtku üks puhas mees iisopit ja kastku vette ning piserdagu telgi ja kõigi riistade peale, samuti inimeste peale, kes seal olid, ja selle peale, kes puudutas luud või tapetut või muidu surnut või hauda!

¹⁹`And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.

¹⁹Ja see puhas piserdagu kolmandal ja seitsmendal päeval seda roojast ja puhastagu teda seitsmendal päeval; aga see roojane pesku oma riided ja loputagu ennast veega, siis ta saab õhtul puhtaks!

²⁰`And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.

²⁰Aga mees, kes saab roojaseks ega puhasta ennast, tuleb hävitada koguduse seast, sest ta on roojastanud Issanda pühamut; tema peale ei ole piserdatud puhastusvett, ta on roojane.

²¹`And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,

²¹See olgu neile igaveseks seaduseks! Ja kes piserdab puhastusvett, pesku oma riided, ja kes puudutab puhastusvett, on õhtuni roojane!

²²and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.`

²²Ja kõik, mida puudutab roojane, saab roojaseks, ja inimene, kes puudutab teda, on õhtuni roojane.'
