Thothuengnah 5

1 Hinglu pakhat te tholh tih thaephoeinah ol a yaak. Te vaengah amah te laipai la a om dongah a hmuh tih a ming. Tedae a puen pawt atah anih kathaesainah te phuei saeh.

[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.

2 Hinglu pakhat loh rhalawt hno khaw, rhalawt mulhing rhok mai khaw cuem pawh rhamsa rhok mai khaw, rhalawt rhulcai rhok khat khat mai khaw buengrhuet a ben vaengah tah rhalawt la boe mai ni.

If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

3 Hlang kah a tihnai dongkah khaw, a tihnai boeih dongah khaw a ben mai atah te nen te poeih uh coeng. Te te a phah akhaw a ming akhaw anih boe saeh.

If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

4 Hinglu pakhat loh a cungkuem dongah thaehuet ham neh voelphoeng ham a hmuilai neh khungrhap la a toemngam mai ni. Hlang he olhlo neh a khungrhap coeng dongah te te a phah a khaw a ming akhaw te pakhat dongah anih boe saeh.

If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

5 Tedae he rhoek khuikah khat nen khaw a boe mai akhaw te kah a tholh te. loh phoe saeh.

If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.

6 Te vaengah a tholhnah neh a tholh bangla BOEIPA taengah a hmaithennah khuen saeh. Boirhaem la boiva khuikah tu a la mai khaw, maae la ca mai khaw om saeh. Te daengah ni a tholhnah dongah khosoih loh anih ham a dawth pa eh.

And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.

7 Tedae boiva kangna khaw a kut loh a na pawt atah a tholh bangla a hmaithennah te vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca phiknit mai khaw, pakhat te boirhaem la, pakhat te hmueihhlutnah la BOEIPA taengah khuen saeh.

If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].

8 Te phoeiah khosoih taengla khuen saeh lamtah boirhaem ham te nawn lamhma saeh. A lu te a rhawn lamloh paimaelh pah saeh lamtah boe boel saeh.

You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.

9 Te phoeiah boirhaem thii te hmueihtuk pangbueng dongah haeh saeh lamtah thii aka coih te boirhaem hmueihtuk kah khoengim taengah ci saeh.

Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.

10 Tedae a pabae te tah laitloeknah vanbangla hmueihhlutnah saii saeh. Te vaengah, a tholhnah neh a tholh dongah khosoih. loh anih ham dawth pah saeh lamtah anih te khodawkngai saeh.

The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.

11 Tedae vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca phiknit mai khaw a kut loh a na pawt oeh atah, a tholh bangla a boirhaem ham nawnnah te vaidam cangnoek parha khuen saeh. Te tah boirhaem la a om dongah a soah situi bueih boel saeh lamtah hmueihtui khaw tloeng thil boel saeh.

However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.

12 Te vaengah khosoih taengla khuen saeh lamtah kamhoeinah te khosoih loh a kut dongah a bae mawk la paco saeh. Te phoeiah boirhaem te BOEIPA hmueihtuk kah hmaihlutnah soah phum saeh.

You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.

13 Te daengah ni te khuikah pakhat nen khaw a tholh vanbangla a tholhnah dongah khosoih loh anih ham a dawth pah vetih anih te khodawk a ngai eh. Tedae khosaa bangla khosoih hamla om saeh.

And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”

14 BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

15 “Hinglu pakhat loh tholh tih BOEIPA taengah boekoeknah la boe a koek mai ni. Te vaengah hnokhueh neh kut khoom kawng dongah a imben taengah a basa atah, huencannah neh a imben te a hnaemtaek atah,

“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.

16 Hmuencim dongah lai a hmuh te a sah phoeiah panga neh thap saeh lamtah khosoih taengla thak saeh. Te daengah ni khosoih loh anih kah hmaithennah ham te tutal neh a dawth pah vetih anih te khodawk a ngai eh.

But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.

17 Hinglu pakhat loh BOEIPA olpaek khat khat khuikah saii pawt koi te pakhat khaw a saii tholh coeng dae a boe te khaw a ming pawt atah amah kathaesainah te phuei van saeh.

If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].

18 Te vaengah a phu aka ting boiva khuikah tutal a cuemthuek te khosoih taengah hmaithennah la khuen saeh. Te daengah ni anih. loh ming pawt tih tohtamaeh la a taengphael te khosoih loh anih ham a dawth pah vetih anih te khodawk a ngai eh.

[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.

19 He tah a boe, a boe vaengah BOEIPA taengkah a saii hmaithennah ni,” a ti nah.

It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
