except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
3 a ngannu a va om pawt tih anih dongah oila la aka hangdang ham atah poeih uh mai saeh.
and for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.

He shall not make himself unclean [who is] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.

They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 A Pathen ham a cim la om uh saeh lamtah a Pathen ming te poeih uh boel saeh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah, Pathen kah buh aka nawn amih khaw a cim la om uh saeh.
They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.
7 Pumyoi neh huta rhong te 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 shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.

And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.

And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.
11 Aka duek hinglu boeih taengah khaw cet boel saeh. A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Nuhmai, vama, pumyoi hlang rhong khaw lo boel saeh. A pilnam khuikah oila bueng te a yuu la lo saeh.
A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present 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 whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,
19 A pum dongah kut tlawt, kho tlawt aka om hlang te khaw,
or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

or hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.

No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.
22 A Pathen kah buh tah a cim uet ah cim tih aka cim van loh ca saeh.
The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;
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. Amih te BOEIPA kamah long ni ka ciim,” a ti nah.
only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
24 Te dongah Moses. loh Aaron neh anih koca rhoek taengah, Israel ca boeih taengah a thui pah.
And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
