Thothuengnah 21
1 BOEIPA. loh Moses te a voek tih, “Aaron koca khosoih te voek lamtah thui pah. Amihloh a hinglu te a pilnam taengah poeih boel saeh.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;
2 amah pumsa, amah huiko rhep ham, a manu ham, a napa ham, a capa ham, a canu ham, a manuca ham,
But only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his daughter, and his brother;
3 a ngannu a va om pawttih anih dongah oila la aka hangdang ham atah poeih uh mai saeh.
And for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no husband, he may make himself unclean.
4 Amah aka poeih ham a pilnam khuikah boei nen khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.
5 A lu te lungawng la kuet rhoe kuet uh boel saeh. A baengpae neh a baengki khaw vo uh boel saeh. A pumsa te a boenah neh boe uh boel saeh.
They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.
6 A Pathen ham a cim la om uh saeh lamtah a Pathen mingte poeih uh boel saeh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah, Pathen kah buh aka nawn amih khaw a cim la om uh saeh.
Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.
7 Pumyoi neh huta rhongte lo uh boel saeh. A va aka ma huta khaw lo uh boel saeh. Te dongah a Pathen ham a cim la om saeh.
They may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by her husband: for the priest is holy to his God.
8 Khosoih long tah na Pathen kah buh a nawn dongah amahte ciim uh saeh. Nangmih aka ciim BOEIPA kamah he ka cim dongah khosoih khaw nang taengah a cim la om saeh.
And he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered; he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am holy.
9 Khosoih tongpa kah a canu khaw a cuk a halh loh a poeih atah a napa ni a poeih. Te dongah anihte hmai neh hoeh uh saeh.
And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.
10 A manucakhui lamkah a lu dongah koelhnah situi a suep pah tih himbai bai ham a kut a tloeng thil khosoih a ham long tah a lu dongkah lupong te dul boel saeh lamtah a himbaite phen boel saeh.
And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.
11 Aka duek hinglu boeih taengah khaw cet boel saeh. A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;
12 Rhokso lamkah khaw nong boel saeh. Anih soah a Pathen kah koelhnah situi rhuisam a om coeng dongah a Pathen kah rhokso te poeih boel saeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.
13 A yuu khaw a cuemnah neh lo saeh.
And let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man.
14 Nuhmai, vama, pumyoi hlang rhong khaw lo boel saeh. A pilnam khuikah oila bueng te a yuu la lo saeh.
A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people.
15 Anihte BOEIPA kamah loh ka ciim coeng dongah a pilnam khuikah a tii a ngan long khaw poeih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.
16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,
And the Lord said to Moses,
17 “Aaron te voek lamtah a cadilcahma ham khaw, 'Na tii na ngan taengah rhip thui pah,’ ti nah. U khaw a pum dongah a lolhmaih a om atah a Pathen kah buh aka nawn ham ha moe boel saeh.
Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.
18 A pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om hlang boeih, mikdael neh aka khaem khaw, a sa aka vawt neh a sa aka hoei hlang khaw,
For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,
19 A pum dongah kut tlawt, kho tlawt aka om hlang te khaw,
Or a man with broken feet or hands,
20 tingkhun khaw, merheh khaw, mik haeh khaw, phaikawk neh vinhna khaw, til hi khaw ha mop boel saeh.
Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;
21 Khosoih Aaron tiingan khuikah hlang khat khat te a pum dongah a lolh a maih atah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah nawn ham ha mop boel saeh. A Pathen kah buh te nawn ham ha mop boel saeh.
No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.
22 A Pathen kah buh tah a cim uet ah cim tih aka cim van loh ca saeh.
He may take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy;
23 Te dongah a pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om loh hniyan khuila kun boel saeh lamtah hmueihtuk taengla mop boel saeh. Te daengah ni ka rhokso te a poeih pawt eh. Amihte BOEIPA kamah long ni ka ciim,” a ti nah.
But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.
24 Te dongah Moses. loh Aaron neh anih kocarhoek taengah, Israel ca boeih taengah a thui pah.
These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.
