Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
2 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Kang paek ih prae thungah na kun o naah,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,

you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].

When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.

When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.

‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
7 Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah hmuen tathlang nahaeloe, naek koi paek naah misurtui hint thumto thungah maeto paek han oh.
And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
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,
‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
9 maitaw tae hoi nawnto situi hint ahap hoi atok tangcae ih takaw dip ephah hato thungah thumto sin ah.
When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters 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.
Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.

Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
12 Kapop maw, tamsi maw, sak na timhaih nuiah pakoep ah loe, maeto boih hanah to tiah sah ah.
You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
13 Prae thung tapen kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih sin han hmai hoi angbawnhaih sak naah, to tiah sak han oh.
‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
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.
If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
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.
I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
16 Nangcae hoi nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk hanah, daan maeto hoi atawk maeto ah omsak ah, tiah a naa.
You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
17 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Kang hoih o han ih prae thungah na kun o naah,
“Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
19 to prae thung ih takaw na caak o naah doeh, Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to sah oh.
and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
20 Na daengh tangsuek ih takaw dip hoi sak ih takaw hoi na tit tangsuek ih cang to paek ah.
[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
21 Na caanawk mah hmaloe koek daengh ih takaw to Angraeng khaeah paek o han oh.
Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
22 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok na pazui o ai moe,
“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
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,
There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
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.
If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
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.
[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
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.
You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
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.
If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
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 offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person 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 Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
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 those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
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 despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
32 Israel kaminawk praezaek ah oh o naah, Sabbath niah thing aek kami maeto a hnuk o.
One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
33 Thing aek kami hnukungnawk mah anih to Mosi, Aaron hoi Israel kaminawk boih hmaa ah hoih o.
Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
34 Thing aek kami to kawbang maw lokcaek han tito amtueng ai vop pongah, anih to imthung ah paung o.
They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] 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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at 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 killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
37 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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 this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
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 the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
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.
Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
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.
Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
