Thothuengnah 12
1 BOEIPA. loh Moses te a voek tih,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Huta he vawn tih capa a cun atah pumom tue vaengah a poeih uh bangla hnin rhih khuiah poeih uh.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
3 Tedae hnin rhet vaengah camoe kah yahhmui saa te rhet pah saeh.
The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
4 Te phoeiah ciimnah thii dongah khohnin sawmthum hnin thum khosa saeh. A caihcilnah khohnin a cum hlan atah aka cim boeih te ben boel saeh lamtah rhokso lam khaw cet boel saeh.
Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
5 Tedae huta a cun atah pumom vaengkah bangla yalh khat khuiah poeih uh la om saeh. Te dongah ciimnah thii dongah khohnin sawmrhuk hnin rhuk khosa saeh.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
6 A caihcilnah khohnin a cup vaengah atah capa canu kah hmueihhlutnah ham tu kum khat ca neh boirhaem la vahui ca neh vahu mai khaw tingtunnah dap thohka kah khosoih taengla khuen saeh.
‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
7 Te phoeiah anih ham te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nawn pah saeh lamtah dawth pah saeh. Te daengah ni anih kah pumthim thii te a caihcil eh. He tah huta tongpa aka cun ham olkhueng ni.
The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
8 Tedae a kut. loh boiva kangna khaw a hmuh pawt atah vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca phiknit mai khaw hmueihhlutnah ham pakhat, boirhaem ham pakhat te khuen saeh. Te daengah ni anih ham te khosoih loh a dawth pah vetih a caihcil eh?,” a ti nah.
If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
