¹Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

¹Yahweh 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.

²“This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded: Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and which was never yoked.

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

³You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face:

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

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.

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

⁵One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her 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 it 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!

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 evening.

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

⁸He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.

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.

⁹“A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of 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.

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!

¹⁰He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.

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

¹¹“He who touches the dead body of any 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.

¹²the same shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn’t purify 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 touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.

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

¹⁴“This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

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

¹⁵Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.

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

¹⁶“Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a 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!

¹⁷“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:

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 person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, 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 person shall sprinkle on 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 evening.

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.

²⁰But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh: the water for impurity has 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!

²¹It shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.

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

²²“Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”
