民數記 19

耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：

yē hé huá xiǎo yù mó xī 、 yà lún shuō ：

The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

「耶和華命定律法中的一條律例乃是這樣說：你要吩咐以色列人，把一隻沒有殘疾、未曾負軛、純紅的母牛牽到你這裏來，

「 yē hé huá mìng dìng lǜ fǎ zhōng de yì tiáo lǜ lì nǎi shì zhè yàng shuō ： nǐ yào fēn fù yǐ sè liè rén ， bǎ yì zhī méi yǒu cán jí 、 wèi céng fù è 、 chún hóng de mǔ niú qiān dào nǐ zhè lǐ lái ，

“This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.

交給祭司以利亞撒；他必牽到營外，人就把牛宰在他面前。

jiāo gěi jì sī yǐ lì yà sā ； tā bì qiān dào yíng wài ， rén jiù bǎ niú zǎi zài tā miàn qián 。

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

祭司以利亞撒要用指頭蘸這牛的血，向會幕前面彈七次。

jì sī yǐ lì yà sā yào yòng zhǐ tou zhàn zhè niú de xuè ， xiàng huì mù qián miàn tán qī cì 。

Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.

人要在他眼前把這母牛焚燒；牛的皮、肉、血、糞都要焚燒。

rén yào zài tā yǎn qián bǎ zhè mǔ niú fén shāo ； niú de pí 、 ròu 、 xuè 、 fèn dōu yào fén shāo 。

One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.

祭司要把香柏木、牛膝草、朱紅色線都丟在燒牛的火中。

jì sī yào bǎ xiāng bǎi mù 、 niú xī cǎo 、 zhū hóng sè xiàn dōu diū zài shāo niú de huǒ zhōng 。

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

祭司必不潔淨到晚上，要洗衣服，用水洗身，然後可以進營。

jì sī bì bù jié jìng dào wǎn shàng ， yào xǐ yī fu ， yòng shuǐ xǐ shēn ， rán hòu kě yǐ jìn yíng 。

Then 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.

燒牛的人必不潔淨到晚上，也要洗衣服，用水洗身。

shāo niú de rén bì bù jié jìng dào wǎn shàng ， yě yào xǐ yī fu ， yòng shuǐ xǐ shēn 。

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

必有一個潔淨的人收起母牛的灰，存在營外潔淨的地方，為以色列會眾調做除污穢的水。這本是除罪的。

bì yǒu yí gè jié jìng de rén shōu qǐ mǔ niú de huī ， cún zài yíng wài jié jìng de dì fāng ， wèi yǐ sè liè huì zhòng tiáo zuò chú wū huì de shuǐ 。 zhè běn shì chú zuì de 。

“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 use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering.

收起母牛灰的人必不潔淨到晚上，要洗衣服。這要給以色列人和寄居在他們中間的外人作為永遠的定例。」

shōu qǐ mǔ niú huī de rén bì bù jié jìng dào wǎn shàng ， yào xǐ yī fu 。 zhè yào gěi yǐ sè liè rén hé jì jū zài tā men zhōng jiān de wài rén zuò wéi yǒng yuǎn de dìng lì 。」

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

「摸了人死屍的，就必七天不潔淨。

「 mō le rén sǐ shī de ， jiù bì qī tiān bù jié jìng 。

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

那人到第三天要用這除污穢的水潔淨自己，第七天就潔淨了。他若在第三天不潔淨自己，第七天就不潔淨了。

nà rén dào dì sān tiān yào yòng zhè chú wū huì de shuǐ jié jìng zì jǐ ， dì qī tiān jiù jié jìng le 。 tā ruò zài dì sān tiān bù jié jìng zì jǐ ， dì qī tiān jiù bù jié jìng le 。

He 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.

凡摸了人死屍、不潔淨自己的，就玷污了耶和華的帳幕，這人必從以色列中剪除；因為那除污穢的水沒有灑在他身上，他就為不潔淨，污穢還在他身上。

fán mō le rén sǐ shī 、 bù jié jìng zì jǐ de ， jiù diàn wū le yē hé huá de zhàng mù ， zhè rén bì cóng yǐ sè liè zhōng jiǎn chú ； yīn wèi nà chú wū huì de shuǐ méi yǒu sǎ zài tā shēn shàng ， tā jiù wèi bù jié jìng ， wū huì hái zài tā shēn shàng 。

Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles the LORD’s tabernacle; 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.

「人死在帳棚裏的條例乃是這樣：凡進那帳棚的，和一切在帳棚裏的，都必七天不潔淨。

「 rén sǐ zài zhàng péng lǐ de tiáo lì nǎi shì zhè yàng ： fán jìn nà zhàng péng de ， hé yí qiè zài zhàng péng lǐ de ， dōu bì qī tiān bù jié jìng 。

“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.

凡敞口的器皿，就是沒有紮上蓋的，也是不潔淨。

fán chǎng kǒu de qì mǐn ， jiù shì méi yǒu zhā shàng gài de ， yě shì bù jié jìng 。

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

無論何人在田野裏摸了被刀殺的，或是屍首，或是人的骨頭，或是墳墓，就要七天不潔淨。

wú lùn hé rén zài tián yě lǐ mō le bèi dāo shā de ， huò shì shī shǒu ， huò shì rén de gǔ tou ， huò shì fén mù ， jiù yào qī tiān bù jié jìng 。

“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.

要為這不潔淨的人拿些燒成的除罪灰放在器皿裏，倒上活水。

yào wèi zhè bù jié jìng de rén ná xiē shāo chéng de chú zuì huī fàng zài qì mǐn lǐ ， dǎo shàng huó shuǐ 。

“For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel.

必當有一個潔淨的人拿牛膝草蘸在這水中，把水灑在帳棚上，和一切器皿並帳棚內的眾人身上，又灑在摸了骨頭，或摸了被殺的，或摸了自死的，或摸了墳墓的那人身上。

bì dāng yǒu yí gè jié jìng de rén ná niú xī cǎo zhàn zài zhè shuǐ zhōng ， bǎ shuǐ sǎ zài zhàng péng shàng ， hé yí qiè qì mǐn bìng zhàng péng nèi de zhòng rén shēn shàng ， yòu sǎ zài mō le gǔ tou ， huò mō le bèi shā de ， huò mō le zì sǐ de ， huò mō le fén mù de nà rén shēn shàng 。

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

第三天和第七天，潔淨的人要灑水在不潔淨的人身上，第七天就使他成為潔淨。那人要洗衣服，用水洗澡，到晚上就潔淨了。

dì sān tiān hé dì qī tiān ， jié jìng de rén yào sǎ shuǐ zài bù jié jìng de rén shēn shàng ， dì qī tiān jiù shǐ tā chéng wéi jié jìng 。 nà rén yào xǐ yī fu ， yòng shuǐ xǐ zǎo ， dào wǎn shàng jiù jié jìng le 。

The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

「但那污穢而不潔淨自己的，要將他從會中剪除，因為他玷污了耶和華的聖所。除污穢的水沒有灑在他身上，他是不潔淨的。

「 dàn nà wū huì ér bù jié jìng zì jǐ de ， yào jiāng tā cóng huì zhōng jiǎn chú ， yīn wèi tā diàn wū le yē hé huá de shèng suǒ 。 chú wū huì de shuǐ méi yǒu sǎ zài tā shēn shàng ， tā shì bù jié jìng de 。

But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.

這要給你們作為永遠的定例。並且那灑除污穢水的人要洗衣服。凡摸除污穢水的，必不潔淨到晚上。

zhè yào gěi nǐ men zuò wéi yǒng yuǎn de dìng lì 。 bìng qiě nà sǎ chú wū huì shuǐ de rén yào xǐ yī fu 。 fán mō chú wū huì shuǐ de ， bì bù jié jìng dào wǎn shàng 。

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

不潔淨人所摸的一切物就不潔淨；摸了這物的人必不潔淨到晚上。」

bù jié jìng rén suǒ mō de yí qiè wù jiù bù jié jìng ； mō le zhè wù de rén bì bù jié jìng dào wǎn shàng 。」

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