Levitikas 21

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khae ah, Aaron capa qaimanawk hanah, Qaima loe nangcae salak ih kadueh kami pongah amhnong han om ai, tiah thui paeh;

And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;

2 toe kadueh ih caanawk, angmah hoi anghnai kami, amno maw, ampa maw, a capa maw, a canu maw, angmah ih amnawk hanah maw,

But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,

3 to tih ai boeh loe tangla kacuem, angmah khaeah kaom angmah ih tanu maw, sava tawn ai a tanunawk loe ciimcai ai ah doeh oh thaih.

And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.

4 Toe angmah ih acaeng ukkung loe, angmah hoi angmah to amhnong han om ai.

The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.

5 Qaimanawk loe sam aah muilum han om ai; toektaboe mui doeh aah han om ai; ngan doeh a aah o han om ai.

They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.

6 Nihcae loe angmacae ih Sithaw khaeah ciimcai ah oh o moe, angmacae ih Sithaw hmin kasae a thuih o han om ai; Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sak moe, Sithaw khaeah buh hoi angbawnhaih a sak o pongah, nihcae loe ciimcai ah oh o han angaih.

Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.

7 Qaimanawk loe angmacae ih Sithaw khaeah ciim o pongah, takpum zaw nongpata, to tih ai boeh loe ciimcai ai nongpata, minawk mah pakhrak ih nongpata to zu ah lak han om ai.

A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.

8 Nangcae ih buh to Sithaw khaeah tathlang kami ah oh pongah, anih loe nangcae han ciimcai kami ah om tih; nangcae ciimsakkung, Kai Angraeng loe ciimcai pongah, nihcae to kaciim ah poek oh.

And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.

9 Qaima canu loe a takpum to zawh moe, angmah hoi angmah ciimcai ai ah sah nahaeloe, ampa to amhnongsak kami ah oh pongah, anih to hmai hoiah qoeng han oh.

And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.

10 Angmah ih nawkamya thungah saning coeh koek, lu nuiah situi bawh ih kami, qaima ih kahni angkhuk hanah caksak ih kami mah loe, a lu nui ih sam to pakhrah mak ai ueloe, a khukbuen doeh angkhring mak ai;

And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;

11 kadueh qok ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh mak ai, ampa hoi amno hanah doeh panuet thok ah oh han om ai.

Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.

12 Angmah Sithaw ih situi hoiah bawh moe, caksak boeh pongah, anih mah Sithaw ih hmuenciim to caehtaak han om ai, hmuenciim doeh amhnongsak han om ai; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.

And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.

13 Anih ih zu loe tangla kacuem ah oh han angaih.

And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.

14 Lamhmai maw, minawk mah pakhrak ih nongpata maw, to tih ai boeh loe tangzat zaw nongpata maw to zu ah lak han om ai; angmah acaeng thung ih tangla kacuem khue to zu ah lak han oh.

A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;

15 To tiah sakhaih rang hoiah angmah acaeng thung ih angzo han koi a caanawk loe ciimcai ah om o tih; Kai loe anih ciimsakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.

16 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

17 Aaron khaeah, Aangzo han koi na caanawk thungah coek koi kaom kami mah Sithaw khaeah buh tathlang han om ai, tiah thui paeh.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.

18 Mi kawbaktih doeh coek koi kaom kami, mikmaeng maw, to tih ai boeh loe khokkhaem maw, to tih ai boeh loe hnah kangphaek kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe ngan kamtlai kami maw,

For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,

19 to tih ai boeh loe khok angkhaek kami maw, ban angkhaek kami maw,

Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,

20 kaengkuu maw, to tih ai boeh loe kahnaem daek kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe mik akoep ai kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe phra man kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe ngan kamthak tawn kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe zangtii om ai kami loe, anih taengah caeh han om ai.

Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.

21 Qaima Aaron acaeng thungah takpum akoep ai kami loe, hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh han om ai; a takpum ah coek koi oh pongah, buh tathlang hanah angmah ih Angraeng khaeah caeh han om ai.

Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

22 Anih loe kaciim hoi kaciim koek, angmah Sithaw ih buh to caa thai tih.

The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.

23 Toe anih loe coek koi oh pongah, payang ih kahni thungah caeh mak ai ueloe, hmaicam ah doeh caeh mak ai; ka hmuenciim doeh amhnongsak han om ai; Kai loe nihcae ciimsakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.

24 To pongah Mosi mah hae lok hae, Aaron hoi a capanawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih khaeah thuih pae.

And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
