NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “ Ista est religio legis, quam constituit Dominus. Praecipe filiis Israel, ut adducant ad te vaccam rufam aetatis integrae, in qua nulla sit macula, nec portaverit iugum.	2 “This is the ritual that the Lord has appointed for a victim. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you a red cow of full maturity, in which there is no blemish, and which has not carried a yoke.
3 Tradetisque eam Eleazaro sacerdoti, quae educta extra castra mactabitur in conspectu eius;	3 And you shall deliver it to Eleazar the priest, who, having led it out beyond the camp, shall immolate it in the sight of all.
4 et tinguens digitum in sanguine eius asperget contra fores tabernaculi conventus septem vicibus,	4 And dipping his finger in its blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times, opposite the door of the tabernacle.
5 combureturque in conspectu eius, tam pelle et carnibus eius quam sanguine et fimo flammae traditis.	5 And he shall burn it, while all are watching, delivering into the flame, not only its skin and flesh, but also the blood and dung.
6 Lignum quoque cedrinum et hyssopum coccumque sacerdos mittet in flammam, quae vaccam vorat.	6 Likewise, cedar wood, and hyssop, and twice-dyed scarlet he shall cast into the flame, by which the cow is consumed.
7 Et tunc demum, lotis vestibus et corpore suo, ingredietur in castra commaculatusque erit usque ad vesperum.	7 And then finally, having washed his garments and his body, he shall enter into the camp, and he shall be deeply stained until evening.
8 Sed et ille, qui combusserit eam, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.	8 Then he also who had burned it shall wash his garments and his body, and he shall be unclean until evening.
9 Colliget autem vir mundus cineres vaccae et effundet eos extra castra in loco purissimo, ut sint congregationi filiorum Israel in custodiam pro aqua aspersionis.	9 Then a clean man shall gather the ashes of the cow, and he shall pour them out beyond the camp, in a very pure place, so that they may be preserved for the multitude of the sons of Israel, and for the water of aspersion, because the cow was burned for sin.
10 Cumque laverit, qui vaccae portaverat cineres, vestimenta sua, immundus erit usque ad vesperum. Habebunt hoc filii Israel et advenae, qui habitant inter eos, sanctum iure perpetuo.	10 And when he who had carried the ashes of the cow will have washed his garments, he shall be unclean until evening. The sons of Israel, and the newcomers who live among them, shall have this as a holy and perpetual right.
11 Qui tetigerit cadaver hominis et propter hoc septem diebus fuerit immundus,	11 Whoever touches the corpse of a man, and is, because of this, unclean for seven days,
12 aspergetur ex hac aqua die tertio et septimo et sic mundabitur. Si die tertio aspersus non fuerit, septimo non erit mundus.	12 shall be sprinkled from this water on the third and seventh days, and so shall he be cleansed. But if he was not sprinkled on the third day, he is not able to be cleansed on the seventh.
13 Omnis, qui tetigerit humanae animae morticinum et aspersus hac commixtione non fuerit, polluet habitaculum Domini et peribit ex Israel, quia aqua expiationis non est aspersus: immundus erit, et manebit spurcitia eius super eum.	13 Anyone who will have touched the dead body of a human life, and who has not been sprinkled with this mixture, pollutes the tabernacle of the Lord, and he shall perish out of Israel. For not having been sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his filth shall remain upon him.
14 Ista est lex hominis, qui moritur in tabernaculo: omnes, qui ingrediuntur tentorium illius, et universa vasa, quae ibi sunt, polluta erunt septem diebus.	14 This is the law of a man who dies in a tent. All who enter into his tent, and all the vessels which are there, shall be polluted for seven days.
15 Vas, quod non habuerit operculum nec ligaturam desuper, immundum erit.	15 The vessel that has no cover or binding over it shall be unclean.
16 Si quis in agro tetigerit cadaver hominis gladio occisi aut per se mortui sive os illius vel sepulcrum, immundus erit septem diebus.	16 If anyone in the field will have touched the corpse of a man, who was killed or who died on his own, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean for seven days.
17 Tollentque de cineribus combustionis peccati et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas;	17 And they shall take some of the ashes from the burning and the sin offering, and they shall pour living waters over them into a vessel.
18 in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hyssopum, asperget ex eo omne tentorium et cunctam supellectilem et homines, qui ibi fuerint, et super eum, qui tetigerit ossa vel occisum hominem aut per se mortuum aut sepultum.	18 And into it a man who is clean shall dip hyssop, and he shall sprinkle from it the entire tent, and all its articles, and the men who were polluted by means of contact.
19 Atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit immundum tertio et septimo die; expiatusque die septimo lavabit et se et vestimenta sua et mundus erit ad vesperum.	19 And so, in this manner, what is clean shall purify what is unclean, on the third and seventh days. And have been expiated on the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening.
20 Si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus, peribit anima illius de medio ecclesiae, quia sanctuarium Domini polluit et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus; immundus est.	20 If anyone has not been expiated by this ritual, his soul shall perish from the midst of the Church. For he has polluted the Sanctuary of the Lord, and he has not been sprinkled with purifying waters.
21 Erit vobis praeceptum legitimum sempiternum. Ipse quoque, qui aspergit aqua lustrali, lavabit vestimenta sua; omnis, qui tetigerit aquas expiationis, immundus erit usque ad vesperum.	21 This precept shall be an everlasting ordinance. Likewise, the one who has sprinkled the waters shall wash his garments. All who will have touched the waters of expiation shall be unclean until evening.
22 Quidquid tetigerit immundus, immundum erit, et anima, quae horum quippiam tetigerit, immunda erit usque ad vesperum ”.	22 Whatever has been touched by something unclean will itself be made unclean. And the soul who touches any of these things shall become unclean until evening.”
