¹Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu in Aronu, rekoč:

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.

²To je naredba zakona, ki ga je zapovedal GOSPOD, govoreč: Govóri sinovom Izraelovim, naj ti pripeljejo rdečo junico, popolnoma zdravo, na kateri ni hibe in ki še ni nosila jarma;

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:

³in izročite jo Eleazarju duhovniku, in on jo pelji ven za šatorišče, kjer naj jo zakoljejo pred njim.

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.

⁴Nato naj vzame Eleazar duhovnik njene krvi s prstom svojim in škropi ž njeno krvjo ravno proti shodnemu šatoru sedemkrat.

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

⁵In ukaže sežgati junico sebi pred očmi; njeno kožo, njeno meso in njeno kri ž njenim blatom vred naj sežgó.

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

⁶In duhovnik vzemi cedrovega lesa in izopa in karmezinove volne in vrzi to v plamen, ki požira junico.

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.

⁷In duhovnik naj si opere oblačila in si izkoplje v vodi telo in potem pride v tabor; in bode nečist do večera.

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

⁸In tisti, ki jo je sežgal, naj si opere oblačila ter izkoplje telo v vodi, in bodi nečist do večera.

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.

⁹In čist mož, naj pobere pepel junice in ga izsuje zunaj šatorišča na čist kraj, in naj se shrani občini sinov Izraelovih za vodo očiščevanja; daritev za greh je.

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.

¹⁰Tisti pa, ki je pobral junice pepel, naj si opere oblačila, in bode nečist do večera. To bodi sinovom Izraelovim in tujcu, ki biva med njimi, večna postava.

¹¹“He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:

¹¹Kdor se dotakne mrliča, trupla kateregakoli človeka, bodi nečist sedem dni.

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.

¹²Ta naj se s tisto vodo očisti greha tretji in sedmi dan, in bode čist; ako se ne očisti tretji in sedmi dan, ne bode čist.

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.

¹³Kdorkoli se dotakne trupla mrtvega človeka, pa se ne mara očistiti greha, onečisti s tem prebivališče GOSPODOVO; taka duša bodi iztrebljena iz Izraela, ker ni bil poškropljen z vodo očiščevanja: nečist bode, nečistota njegova ostane na njem.

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.

¹⁴To je postava, kadar umrje človek v šatoru: kdorkoli pride v šator in kdorkoli je v šatoru, bodi nečist sedem dni.

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

¹⁵In vsaka odprta posoda, ki nima privezanega pokrova, je nečista.

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.

¹⁶Tudi kdor se na polju dotakne z mečem ubitega ali mrtveca ali kosti človeške ali groba, bode nečist sedem dni.

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:

¹⁷In za nečistega naj se vzame pepela tiste sežgane junice za greh in se nanj v posodo vlije tekoča voda;

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:

¹⁸In čist mož vzemi izopa in ga omoči v vodi ter poškropi ž njo šator in vse posode in vse osebe, ki so bile v njem, tudi njega, ki se je dotaknil kosti ali ubitega ali mrtveca ali groba.

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.

¹⁹Čisti mož naj poškropi nečistega tretji in sedmi dan in ga očisti greha dan sedmi, in opere naj si oblačila in se izkoplje v vodi, in bode čist zvečer.

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.

²⁰Kdor pa je nečist in se ne mara očistiti greha, tega duša bodi iztrebljena izmed zbora, zakaj onečistil je svetišče GOSPODOVO in z vodo očiščevanja ni bil poškropljen, nečist je.

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.

²¹In to jim bodi večna postava; kdor pa je škropil z vodo očiščevanja, naj si opere oblačila, in kdor se dotakne vode očiščevanja, bodi nečist do večera.In vse, česar se dotakne nečisti, bode nečisto, in kdorkoli se njega dotakne, bode nečist do večera.

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

²²In vse, česar se dotakne nečisti, bode nečisto, in kdorkoli se njega dotakne, bode nečist do večera.
