1Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
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.
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 blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke;
3Andke see preester Eleasarile; see viidagu väljapoole leeri ja tapetagu tema silma all!
3and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him.
4Siis preester Eleasar võtku oma sõrmega verd ja piserdagu verd kogudusetelgi esikülje poole seitse korda!
4And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times.
5Ja lehm põletatagu tema silma all; selle nahk, liha ja veri põletatagu koos sisikonnaga!
5And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.
6Ja preester võtku seedripuud, iisopit ja helepunast lõnga ja visaku need keset lehmapõletust!
6And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7Siis preester pesku oma riided ja loputagu oma ihu veega; seejärel ta võib tulla leeri; aga preester on õhtuni roojane!
7And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest 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!
8and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
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.
9And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
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!
10And he that hath gathered 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, an everlasting statute.
11Kes puudutab mõne inimese laipa, see on seitse päeva roojane.
11He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days.
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.
12He 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.
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!
13Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14Niisugune on seadus, kui inimene sureb telgis: igaüks, kes tuleb telki, ja igaüks, kes on telgis, on seitse päeva roojane.
14This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15Ja iga lahtine astja, mis ei ole pealt kinni seotud, on roojane.
15And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.
16Ja igaüks, kes väljal puudutab mõõgaga tapetut või muidu surnut, või inimese luud või hauda, on seitse päeva roojane.
16And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17Aga seesuguse roojase pärast võetagu põletatud patuohvri põrmu ja valatagu selle peale astjasse värsket vett!
17And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel;
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!
18and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave;
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!
19and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
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.
20And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean.
21See olgu neile igaveseks seaduseks! Ja kes piserdab puhastusvett, pesku oma riided, ja kes puudutab puhastusvett, on õhtuni roojane!
21And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22Ja kõik, mida puudutab roojane, saab roojaseks, ja inimene, kes puudutab teda, on õhtuni roojane.'
22And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
