Thothuengnah 21
1 BOEIPA. loh Moses te a voek tih, “Aaron koca khosoih te voek lamtah thui pah. Amih loh a hinglu te a pilnam taengah poeih boel saeh.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person 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,
except for his relation who [is] near to 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, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
4 Amah aka poeih ham a pilnam khuikah boei nen khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile 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 do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting 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 are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been 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 do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
8 Khosoih long tah na Pathen kah buh a nawn dongah amah te ciim uh saeh. Nangmih aka ciim BOEIPA kamah he ka cim dongah khosoih khaw nang taengah a cim la om saeh.
and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying you, [am] holy.
9 Khosoih tongpa kah a canu khaw a cuk a halh loh a poeih atah a napa ni a poeih. Te dongah anih te hmai neh hoeh uh saeh.
And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
10 A manuca khui 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 himbai te phen boel saeh.
And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
11 Aka duek hinglu boeih taengah khaw cet boel saeh. A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for 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.
nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
13 A yuu khaw a cuemnah neh lo saeh.
And he takes 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 cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,
15 Anih te BOEIPA kamah loh ka ciim coeng dongah a pilnam khuikah a tii a ngan long khaw poeih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
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.
“Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
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 no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
19 A pum dongah kut tlawt, kho tlawt aka om hlang te khaw,
or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
20 tingkhun khaw, merheh khaw, mik haeh khaw, phaikawk neh vinhna khaw, til hi khaw ha mop boel saeh.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
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 in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
22 A Pathen kah buh tah a cim uet ah cim tih aka cim van loh ca saeh.
Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
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 does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
24 Te dongah Moses. loh Aaron neh anih koca rhoek taengah, Israel ca boeih taengah a thui pah.
And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
