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;
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for 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,
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for 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 for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Toe angmah ih acaeng ukkung loe, angmah hoi angmah to amhnong han om ai.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
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 shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
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.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall 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.
“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to 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.
Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, 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.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
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;
“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 kadueh qok ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh mak ai, ampa hoi amno hanah doeh panuet thok ah oh han om ai.
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
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.
He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor 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.
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
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.
He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a 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.
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
16 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
The LORD spoke to 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.
“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may 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 whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 to tih ai boeh loe khok angkhaek kami maw, ban angkhaek kami maw,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured 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 hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
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.
No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Anih loe kaciim hoi kaciim koek, angmah Sithaw ih buh to caa thai tih.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
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.
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
24 To pongah Mosi mah hae lok hae, Aaron hoi a capanawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih khaeah thuih pae.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
