1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Aaron hoi a capanawk loe Israel kaminawk mah paek o ih kaciim hmuennawk hoi kamhoe ah oh o han oh; kai khaeah paek o ih kaciim hmuennawk hoiah ka hmin to amhnong o sak han om ai, tiah thui paeh; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
3 Angzo han koi caanawk boih thung ih, ciimcai ai kami mah, Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah ciimcai ah paek o ih kaciim hmuen taengah caeh nahaeloe, to kami to Ka hmaa hoi kamhoe ah suem oh; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
“Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
4 Aaron ih caanawk thungah ngansae man kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmaa thung hoiah ahnai tacawt kami maw om nahaeloe, ciimcai ai karoek to anih loe, kaciim ah paek ih hmuennawk to caa mak ai. Mi kawbaktih doeh ciimcai ai qok sui kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe tangzat tui pathok nongpa maw,
“If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
5 to tih ai boeh loe ciimcai ai long ah kavak hmuen maeto sui kami maw, kami maeto mah ciimcai ai ah ohsak ih kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaciim ai hmuen maeto mah akap thuih ih kami loe ciimcai ai kami ah oh boeh.
or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
6 To baktih ciimcai ai hmuen sui kami loe, duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; tui amhluh ai ah loe anih mah kaciim ah paek ih hmuennawk to caa mak ai.
Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
7 Anih loe niduem naah ni ciim vop tih, kaciim ah paek ih hmuen loe nihcae ih buh ah oh pongah, ciim pacoengah ni kaciim ah paek ih hmuen to caa o thai vop tih.
After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
8 Angmah koeh ah kadueh moi hoi moisan mah kaek ih moi to caa hmah; a takpum amhnong hanah to baktih moi to caak han om ai; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
9 Qaimanawk loe amhnong o moe, angmacae zaehaih pongah, a duek o han ai ah, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui o han oh; Kai loe nihcae ciimsakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh.
“The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
10 Prae kalah kami loe kaciim ah paek ih hmuen to caa mak ai; qaima im ah katoem angvin maw, to tih ai boeh loe anih mah tlai ih kami mah doeh kaciim ah paek ih hmuen to caa mak ai.
“Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
11 Toe qaima mah angmah ih phoisa hoi qan ih kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ih imthung ah tapen kami loe, buh to caa thai tih.
But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
12 Qaima canu to minawk kalah khaeah sava sah nahaeloe, kaciim ah paek ih hmuen to caa thai mak ai.
If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
13 Toe qaima canu loe lamhmai maw, to tih ai boeh loe sava hoi ampraek ving moe, caa sah ai ah ampa im ah amlaem let pacoengah, tangla nathuem ih baktih toengah ampa im ah om nahaeloe, ampa ih buh to caa thai tih; toe minawk kalah mah loe caa thai mak ai.
But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
14 Panoek ai ah kaciim ah paek ih hmuen to caa moeng kami loe, a caak moeng ih hmuen hoi nawnto ah pangato thungah maeto thap moe, qaima khaeah paek han angaih.
“If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
15 Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah paek o ih, kaciim hmuen to qaima mah amhnongsak han om ai;
When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
16 to tiah paek ih kaciim hmuen to caak moeng pongah, anih nuiah zaehaih kraksak han om ai; Kai loe nihcae ciimsakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
17 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 Aaron hoi a capanawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Israel imthung takoh thung hoi tacawt kami mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe Israel kaminawk salakah kaom prae kalah kami mah maw, lokkamhaih sak ih baktiah hmuen tathlanghaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe angmah koeh ah sak ih hmuen tathlanghaih maw, Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ah sak naah;
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
19 talawk thai koiah kaom coek koi kaom ai, maitaw tae maw, tuu hoi maeh maw paek han oh.
it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
20 Toe coek koi kaom hmuen to paek hmah; to baktih hmuen loe talawk thai koi hmuen ah om ai;
Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
21 lokkamhaih baktiah paek ih hmuen, angmah palung angthawk baktiah paek ih hmuen ah, maitaw tae maw, tuu maw Angraeng khaeah na paek nahaeloe, anih mah talawk thai hanah, coek koi kaom ai, kakoep to paek ah.
[Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
22 Kawbaktih hmuen doeh mikmaeng, to tih ai boeh loe ahuh angkhaek, to tih ai boeh loe khokkhaem, khokban akoep ai, to tih ai boeh loe ahlut hoi ahnai kaom hmuen hoiah Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to sah hmah; Angraeng han hmaicam pongah hmai angbawnhaih to sah hmah;
Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
23 na palung angthawkhaih hoi paek ih hmuen ah loe, coek koi kaom maitaw maw, tuu maw na paek thaih; toe lokkamhaih baktiah hmuen tathlanghaih sak naah loe coek koi kaom hmuen to talawk thai mak ai.
You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
24 Ngan kabawk, to tih ai boeh loe ahmaa kaom, to tih ai boeh loe ahuh angkhaek, to tih ai boeh loe aahhaih ahmaa kaom moi to Angraeng han paek hmah; na prae thungah to baktih moi tathlanghaih to sah hmah.
You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
25 To baktih moi to prae kalah kami mah Angraeng khaeah paek langlacadoeh, akoep ai moe, coek koi doeh oh pongah, talawk thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
26 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw, to tih ai boeh loe maeh to tapen naah, ni sarihto thung amno khaeah omsak ah; ni tazetto pacoengah loe Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sak thai boeh.
“When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
28 Maitaw maw, tuu maw, nito thungah a caa hoi nawnto bop hmaek hmah.
Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
29 Angraeng khaeah anghoehaih hmuen to na paek o naah, na palung angthawkhaih baktih toengah paek oh.
“Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
30 Na paek niah moi to caa o boih ah; khawnbang khoek to suem o hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
31 To pongah ka paek ih lok hae pakuem ah loe pazui ah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
“Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
32 Kaciim Kai ih ahmin to amhnong o sak hmah; Kai loe Ka ciim, tiah Israel kaminawk mah poek o han oh; Kai loe nangcae ciimsakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh,
do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
33 nangcae ih Sithaw ah Ka oh hanah, Izip prae thung hoi nangcae zaehoikung ah ka oh; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
