Numbers 19 Free Bible Version

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
1 Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés y á Aarón, diciendo:
2 “This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.
2 Esta es la ordenanza de la ley que Jehová ha prescrito, diciendo: Di á los hijos de Israel que te traigan una vaca bermeja, perfecta, en la cual no haya falta, sobre la cual no se haya puesto yugo:
3 Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.
3 Y la daréis á Eleazar el sacerdote, y él la sacará fuera del campo, y harála degollar en su presencia.
4 Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
4 Y tomará Eleazar el sacerdote de su sangre con su dedo, y rociará hacia la delantera del tabernáculo del testimonio con la sangre de ella siete veces;
5 Then the cow must be burned as he watches. All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.
5 Y hará quemar la vaca ante sus ojos: su cuero y su carne y su sangre, con su estiércol, hará quemar.
6 The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.
6 Luego tomará el sacerdote palo de cedro, é hisopo, y escarlata, y lo echará en medio del fuego en que arde la vaca.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain unclean until the evening.
7 El sacerdote lavará luego sus vestidos, lavará también su carne con agua, y después entrará en el real; y será inmundo el sacerdote hasta la tarde.
8 The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.
8 Asimismo el que la quemó, lavará sus vestidos en agua, también lavará en agua su carne, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
9 Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from sin.
9 Y un hombre limpio recogerá las cenizas de la vaca, y las pondrá fuera del campo en lugar limpio, y las guardará la congregación de los hijos de Israel para el agua de separación: es una expiación.
10 The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.
10 Y el que recogió las cenizas de la vaca, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde: y será á los hijos de Israel, y al extranjero que peregrina entre ellos, por estatuto perpetuo.
11 If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.
11 El que tocare muerto de cualquiera persona humana, siete días será inmundo:
12 You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.
12 Este se purificará al tercer día con aquesta [agua], y al séptimo día será limpio; y si al tercer día no se purificare, no será limpio al séptimo día.
13 If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself, you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.
13 Cualquiera que tocare en muerto, en persona de hombre que estuviere muerto, y no se purificare, el tabernáculo de Jehová contaminó; y aquella persona será cortada de Israel: por cuanto el agua de la separación no fué rociada sobre él, inmundo será; y su inmundicia será sobre él.
14 The following regulation applies when a person dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
14 Esta es la ley para cuando alguno muriere en la tienda: cualquiera que entrare en la tienda y todo el que estuviere en ella, será inmundo siete días.
15 Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.
15 Y todo vaso abierto, sobre el cual no hubiere tapadera bien ajustada, será inmundo.
16 If you're out in the open and you touch someone who has been killed by the sword or who has died naturally, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, then you'll be unclean for seven days.
16 Y cualquiera que tocare en muerto á cuchillo sobre la haz del campo, ó en muerto, ó en hueso humano, ó en sepulcro, siete días será inmundo.
17 This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.
17 Y para el inmundo tomarán de la ceniza de la quemada vaca de la expiación, y echarán sobre ella agua viva en un vaso:
18 A man who is clean shall take some hyssop and dip it in the water. Then sprinkle the tent and everything inside it, and everybody who was there. He would also need to sprinkle you if you touched a bone, or a grave, or someone who has died or has been killed.
18 Y un hombre limpio tomará hisopo, y mojarálo en el agua, y rociará sobre la tienda, y sobre todos los muebles, y sobre las personas que allí estuvieren, y sobre aquel que hubiere tocado el hueso, ó el matado, ó el muerto, ó el sepulcro:
19 The man who is clean is to sprinkle you both on the third day and on the seventh day. After you are purified on the seventh day, you must wash your clothes and yourself in water, and that evening you'll be clean.
19 Y el limpio rociará sobre el inmundo al tercero y al séptimo día: y cuando lo habrá purificado al día séptimo, él lavará luego sus vestidos, y á sí mismo se lavará con agua, y será limpio á la tarde.
20 But if you don't purify yourself, you will be expelled from the Israelites, because you have made the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean. The water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and you remain unclean.
20 Y el que fuere inmundo, y no se purificare, la tal persona será cortada de entre la congregación, por cuanto contaminó el tabernáculo de Jehová: no fué rociada sobre él el agua de separación: es inmundo.
21 This is a permanent rule for everyone. The man who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will be unclean until the evening.
21 Y les será por estatuto perpetuo: también el que rociare el agua de la separación lavará sus vestidos; y el que tocare el agua de la separación, será inmundo hasta la tarde.
22 Anything the unclean person touches will be unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.”
22 Y todo lo que el inmundo tocare, será inmundo: y la persona que lo tocare, será inmunda hasta la tarde.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In the law every one who toucheth a dead body was considered impure, but these are not dead.
