Nambar 15

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

The Lord told Moses,

2 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Kang paek ih prae thungah na kun o naah,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.

3 Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sah oh; maitaw maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu to Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ah paek oh; maitaw doeh, tuu doeh Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih hmuen ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe angbawnhaih maw, to tiah ai boeh loe tathlang ih hmuen ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe lokkamhaih sak han ih maw, to tih ai boeh loe aimah koehah paek ih hmuen tathlanghaih maw, poihsakhaih ah tathlang ih hmuen ah maw sah oh:

When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,

4 mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng khaeah hmuen paekhaih sin kami loe, cang paekhaih sak naah situi hint palito thungah maeto hoi atok ih takaw dip ephah hato thungah maeto paek han oh;

then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

5 tuucaa hoi angbawnhaih sah nahaeloe, naek han koi hmuen hoi misurtui hint palito thungah maeto paek han oh.

Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.

6 Tuu tae maeto hoi angbawnhaih sah nahaeloe, cang ephah hato thungah hnetto, situi hint thumto thungah hint maeto hoi atok ih takaw dip to paek han oh,

When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

7 Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah hmuen tathlang nahaeloe, naek koi paek naah misurtui hint thumto thungah maeto paek han oh.

along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.

8 Angraeng khaeah maitaw tae hoi angbawnhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe hmuen paekhaih, to tih ai boeh loe lokkamhaih sak han angbawnhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe angdaeh angbawnhaih maw sak naah,

When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9 maitaw tae hoi nawnto situi hint ahap hoi atok tangcae ih takaw dip ephah hato thungah thumto sin ah.

then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

10 Naek hanah misurtui hint ahap to sin ah. To tiah hmai hoi sak ih angbawnhaih loe Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuihoih ah oh.

Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.

11 Maitaw tae maeto, to tih ai boeh loe tuu tae maeto, to tih ai boeh loe tuucaa maeto, to tih ai boeh loe maeh caa maeto hoi angbawnhaih sak naah to tiah sak han oh.

This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.

12 Kapop maw, tamsi maw, sak na timhaih nuiah pakoep ah loe, maeto boih hanah to tiah sah ah.

This is what you need to do for each one, however many.

13 Prae thung tapen kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih sin han hmai hoi angbawnhaih sak naah, to tiah sak han oh.

Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.

14 Nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe mi kawbaktih doeh, hmuihoih ah paek han Angraeng khaeah hmai hoi angbawnhaih sak naah, nangcae mah sak ih baktih toengah a sak o toeng han oh.

This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.

15 Hing thung na caanawk mah pazui o poe hanah paek ih atawk loe, nangcae amkhueng kaminawk hoi nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk hanah doeh maeto ah ni oh; nangcae Angraeng hmaa ah oh baktih toengah, angvin doeh om toeng tih.

The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.

16 Nangcae hoi nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk hanah, daan maeto hoi atawk maeto ah omsak ah, tiah a naa.

The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”

17 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

Then the Lord told Moses,

18 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Kang hoih o han ih prae thungah na kun o naah,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you

19 to prae thung ih takaw na caak o naah doeh, Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to sah oh.

and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.

20 Na daengh tangsuek ih takaw dip hoi sak ih takaw hoi na tit tangsuek ih cang to paek ah.

You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

21 Na caanawk mah hmaloe koek daengh ih takaw to Angraeng khaeah paek o han oh.

For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.

22 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok na pazui o ai moe,

Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—

23 Angraeng mah Mosi patohhaih rang hoiah ang thuih ih lok to na pazui o ai nahaeloe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih ni hoi kamtong angzo han koi caanawk dung khoek to,

everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—

24 amkhueng kaminawk mah panoek ai ah, poek ai pui hoi zaehaih sah moeng nahaeloe, rangpuinawk mah Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih angbawnhaih sak hanah, a sak o zong ih atawk baktih toengah, saning kanawk maitaw caa to cang hoi nawnto paek o ueloe, zae angbawnhaih sak hanah maeh caa to paek o tih.

and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.

25 Qaima mah kaminawk boih hanah zae angbawnhaih to sah pae tih, to naah nihcae mah poek ai pui hoiah a sak o moeng ih zaehaih to tahmen pae tih; Angraeng khaeah hmai hoi angbawnhaih, poek ai pui hoi sak ih zae angbawnhaih sak hanah hmuen to sin o han oh.

In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

26 To tiah sah o nahaeloe, Israel kaminawk hoi nihcae salakah kaom angvinnawk boih mah, poek ai pui hoi sak o moeng ih zaehaih to loihsak tih.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.

27 Toe kami maeto mah poek ai pui hoiah zaehaih sah moeng nahaeloe, zae angbawnhaih ah saningto kaom, maeh tala maeto a sin han oh.

In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28 Poek ai pui hoi Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih sah kami hanah, qaima mah zae angbawnhaih to sah pae tih; to naah anih zaehaih to loisak tih.

The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.

29 Poek ai pui hoi zaehaih sak o naah, Israel kami hoi nihcae salakah kaom angvin hanah doeh, daan maeto khue tawnh han oh.

You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

30 Toe prae thung tapen Israel kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin maw, zithaih tawn ai ah zaehaih to sah nganga nahaeloe, Angraeng khingyahaih tawn ai pongah, to kami to acaeng thung hoiah pahnawt han oh.

But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.

31 Anih loe Angraeng ih lok to patoek moe, anih ih lok to aek pongah, to kami to pahnawt sut han oh; anih loe sakpazaehaih atho to hnu tih, tiah a naa.

They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”

32 Israel kaminawk praezaek ah oh o naah, Sabbath niah thing aek kami maeto a hnuk o.

During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.

33 Thing aek kami hnukungnawk mah anih to Mosi, Aaron hoi Israel kaminawk boih hmaa ah hoih o.

The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.

34 Thing aek kami to kawbang maw lokcaek han tito amtueng ai vop pongah, anih to imthung ah paung o.

They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.

35 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, To kami loe duek han oh; anih to ataihaih tasa bangah kaminawk boih mah thlung hoiah va o mat tih, tiah a naa.

The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”

36 To pongah acaeng kaminawk mah anih to ataihaih imthung hoi tasa bangah zaeh o moe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, duek khoek to thlung hoiah vah o.

So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.

37 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

Sometime later the Lord told Moses,

38 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; angzo han koi caa nawktanawk khoek to, khukbuen atom nuiah rong kahing hoi bangh hanah, apawk to soi ah;

“Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.

39 to apawknawk to na hnuk o naah, palung thung hoiah na poek o ih baktih toengah caeh moe, mik hoiah na hnuk o ih hmuen hnukah na patom pacoengah, na caeh o pazae han ai ah, Angraeng mah thuih ih loknawk to pakuem o poe ah loe sah oh;

When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.

40 to naah kang paek o ih loknawk to pazui boih hanah na panoek o ueloe, na Sithaw khaeah ciimcai hanah kamhoe ah na om tih.

In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God.

41 Kai loe na Sithaw ah oh hanah, Izip prae thung hoi nangcae zaehoikung, na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh tiah, a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

I am the Lord your God!”
