गन्ती 19
1 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
2 “परमप्रभुले दिनु भएको आज्ञाहरूबाट बनिएको नियम यही हो। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन कि तिनीहरूले एउटा एकदमै निष्खोट र कहीं दाग नभएको कहिले पनि नजोतिएको रातो गाई ल्याऊन। अनि त्यो गाईले कहिल्यै हलो नजोतेको हुनुपर्छ।
3 तिमीहरूले त्यो गाई एलाजारलाई दिनुपर्छ र उसले त्यस गाईलाई छाउनी बाहिर ल्याउँछ। यो उसको अघि मारिनु पर्छ।
4 त्यसपछि एलाजारले उसको औंलाले केही रगत भेट हुने पालको अघिल्तिर सात पल्ट छर्कनु पर्छ।
5 तब उसको सामुन्ने त्यो गाई जलाउनु पर्छ। यसको छाला, मासु, रगत आन्द्रा-भुँडी सबै जलाउनु पर्छ।
6 पूजाहारीले देवदारू काठ, हिसप र केही रातो धागो ल्याएर गाई जल्दै गरेको आगोमा फ्याँक्नु पर्छ।
7 त्यसपछि पूजाहारीले आफ्नो लाउने लुगा धोएर नुहाई धुवाई गरी छाउनीमा जानुपर्छ। तर त्यो पूजाहारी साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहन्छ।
8 त्यो गाई पोल्नेले पनि आफ्नो लुगाहरू धोएर नुहाउनु पर्छ, अनि त्यो पनि साँझसम्म अशुद्ध भईरहन्छ।
9 “केही शुद्ध मानिसले जलाएको कोरेलीको खरानी बटुलेर छाउनी देखि बाहिर विधिपूर्वक शुद्ध पारिएको ठाँउमा राख्नु पर्छ। खरानी इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई सफा गर्नका निम्ति पानीसित राखेका थियो। यो पापबलि हो।
10 “त्यो खरानी बटुल्ने व्यक्तिले पनि आफ्नो लुगा-फाटा धोएर साँझ सम्म अशुद्ध रहोस्।“इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तथा तिनीहरूको माझमा बस्ने कुनै पनि विदेशीको निम्ति यो अन्तको नियम हो।
11 एकजना व्यक्ति जसले मुर्दा छुन्छ त्यो सात दिन सम्म अशुद्ध रहन्छ।
12 तेस्रो दिनमा त्यो व्यक्तिले आफैंलाई त्यही पानीले शुद्ध पार्ने छ र सातौं दिनमा उ शुद्ध हुनेछ। तर यदि व्यक्तिहरू तिनीहरू आफैं तेस्रो दिनमा शुद्ध भएन भने, तब सातौं दिनमा पनि शुद्ध हुनेछैन।
13 यदि कुनै व्यक्तिले मुर्दा छुन्छ र आफैलाई फेरि शुद्ध पार्दैन, त्यसले परमप्रभुको पवित्र पाललाई अशुद्ध पार्छ। यसकारण व्यक्ति इस्राएलबाट काटिदिनेछ। जस्तो पवित्र पानी तिनीहरू माथि छर्केको थिएन यसकारण उसको शरीर अशुद्ध रहन्छ।
14 “यदि कुनै मानिस पाल भित्र मरे भने त्यसको नियम यो हो प्रत्येक जो पाल भित्र बस्ने प्रवेश गर्ने र त्यहाँ प्रत्येक नै अशुद्ध हुनेछ र तिनीहरू सात दिन सम्म अशुद्ध रहन्छन्।
15 अनि ढकनी बिनाको प्रत्येक भाँडा अथवा बयम अशुद्ध हुन्छ।
16 यदि कसैले खुल्ला मैदानमाथि लडीरहेको मृत शरीरलाई छुन्छ वा लडाँईमा मारिएको कुनै मुर्दा छुन्छ वा मनुष्यको हड्डी चिहानलाई छुन्छ भने, उनी सात दिनसम्म अशुद्ध रहनेछ।
17 “त्यो अशुद्ध मानिसको निम्ति जलाइएको गाईको खरानी एउटा भाँडामा हाल र त्यसमा बग्दै गरेको पानी यसमा हाल्नु पर्छ।
18 कुनै शुद्ध मानिसले त्यस पानीमा हिसप चोपेर भाँडाहरू र मानिसहरू माथि छर्किनु पर्छ। अनि कसैले हड्डी अथवा चिहान अथवा एउटा मृत शरीर अथवा एउटा युद्धमा मरेको शरीरलाई छोएर अशुद्ध बनाउँछ। भने, त्यो पानी ऊ माथि छर्कनु पर्छ।
19 “त्यस शुद्ध मानिसले अशुद्ध भएको मानिसमाथि तेस्रो र सातौं दिन छर्किनु पर्छ। यस प्रकार उसले अशुद्ध मानिसहरूलाई सातौं दिनमा शुद्ध बनाउँछ। त्यो अशुद्ध मानिसले लुगा धोओस अनि पानीमा नुहाओस् र साँझ सम्म अशुद्ध रहन्छ।
20 “यदि एक जना मानिस जो अशुद्ध भएकहाँ अनि ऊ आफैं शुद्ध हुँदैन भने त्यस व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो समुदायबाट बहिष्कार गरियोस् किनभने त्यसले परमप्रभुको पवित्र स्थान अशुद्ध पार्यो। शुद्धीकरणको पानी ऊ माथि छर्किएन यसकारण त्यो व्यक्ति अशुद्ध रह्यो।
21 तिनीहरूको निम्ति यो नियम अनन्त रूपले लागु भइरहन्छ। जो व्यक्तिले शुद्धीकारणको पानी छर्किन्छ उसले आफ्नो लुगा-फाटा धुनु पर्छ अनि जुन व्यक्तिले शुद्धीकारणको पानी छुन्छ त्यो व्यक्ति साँझ सम्म अशुद्ध भइरहन्छ।
22 प्रत्येक कुरा त्यो व्यक्तिले छोए अशुद्ध रहन्छ अनि कुनै व्यक्ति जसले त्यसलाई छुन्छ त्यो साँझ सम्म अशुद्ध रहन्छ।”
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord 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:
3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7 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 even.
8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9 And 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 of separation: it is a purification for sin.
10 And 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.
11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 He 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.
13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18 And 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 a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19 And 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 himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
