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

¹Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

²This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke.

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 shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

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

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

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

⁵And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

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

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

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

⁷Then 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.

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

⁸And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

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

⁹And 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 for impurity: it is a sin-offering.

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 that gathereth 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 sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

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!

¹¹He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:

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

¹²the same shall purify himself therewith 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.

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.

¹³Whosoever toucheth a dead person, the body of a man that hath died, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet 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!

¹⁴This is the law when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the tent, shall be 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 bound upon it, is unclean.

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

¹⁶And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

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

¹⁷And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

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

¹⁸and 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 the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the 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!

¹⁹and 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 him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

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!

²⁰But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water for impurity hath not been 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.

²¹And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water for impurity shall be unclean until even.

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

²²And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

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