1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a khue tih tingtunnah dap lamkah a voek vaengah,
And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 “Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Nangmih khuikah hlang loh BOEIPA taengah nawnnah a khuen vaengah rhamsa, saelhung, boiva khui lamkah khaw namamih kah nawnnah la khuen.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep,
3 Nawnnah ham hmueihhlutnah te saelhung mai koinih a tal aka cuem te tingtunnah dap thohka ah nawn saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kolonah ham nawn saeh.
If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:
4 Te vaengah hmueihhlutnah kah a lu soah a kut tloeng saeh lamtah anih ham a dawth te doe saeh.
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.
5 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah saelhung ca te ngawn saeh lamtah khosoih Aaron ca rhoek loh a thii te khuen saeh. Te vaengah thii te tingtunnah dap thohka kah hmueihtuk so neh a kaepvai ah haeh uh saeh.
And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord, and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 Hmueihhlutnah te hlaai saeh lamtah maehpoel la tloek saeh.
And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces,
7 Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh hmueihtuk ah hmai toih uh saeh lamtah hmai soah thing hueng uh saeh.
And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:
8 Maehpoel, a lu, neh a tha te hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai soah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh tloeng uh saeh.
And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver,
9 A kotak neh a kho te tui neh sil saeh lamtah khosoih loh BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah, hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk ah boeih phum saeh.
The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.
10 Tedae anih kah nawnnah te boiva khui lamkah koinih hmueihhlutnah ham tah tu khaw, maae tal aka cuem te khuen saeh.
And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:
11 Tekah te BOEIPA mikhmuh kah hmueihtuk kaep kah tlangpuei ben ah ngawn saeh lamtah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh a thii te hmueihtuk so neh a kaepvai ah haeh uh saeh.
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:
12 A pum te maehpoel la tloek saeh lamtah a lu neh a tha te khosoih loh hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai dongah tloeng saeh.
And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:
13 Tedae a kotak neh a kho rhoek te tui neh sil saeh. Te phoeiah khosoih loh khuen saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk ah boeih phum saeh.
But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.
14 BOEIPA taengah anih kah nawnnah ham hmueihhlutnah te vaa khui lamkah koinih vahu mai khaw, vahui ca mai khaw amah kah nawnnah ham khuen saeh.
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,
15 Te vaengah khosoih loh hmueihtuk la khuen saeh. A lu te a paimaelh pah phoeiah hmueihtuk ah phum saeh. A thii te hmueihtuk pangbueng dongah ci saeh.
The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar.
16 Tedae a tukpoe neh a dii te poelh saeh lamtah hmueihtuk khothoeng kah maehhloi hmuen ah voei saeh.
But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be poured out,
17 Vaa te a phae let pah saeh lamtah boe boel saeh. Te phoeiah khosoih loh BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai dongah phum saeh.”
And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
