Lampahnah 19

1 BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengaha thui pah tih,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

2 “BOEIPA kah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he Israel ca taengah voek lamtah thui pah. Nang taengla vaito linga hmabuet hang khuen uh saeh. Tete a soaha lolhmaih om boel saeh lamtah a soah hnamkun khuen boel saeh.

This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

3 Te te khosoih Eleazar taengah pae saeh. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen kah vongvoel la khuen saeh lamtah a mikhmuh ah ngawn saeh.

And all of you shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

4 Te kah thii te khosoih Eleazar loh a kutdawn dongah naek saeh. Te phoeiah te kah a thii te tingtunnah dap hmai ah voei rhih haeh saeh.

And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

5 Te phoeiah vaito te a mikhmuh ah hoeh saeh. A pho neh a saa khaw, a thii khaw, a aek khaw hoeh thil saeh.

And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

6 Te phoeiah khosoih loh lamphai thing, pumpiding neh hlampai a lingdik te lo saeh lamtah vaito kah ungkhang khui la pup saeh.

And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

7 Te phoeiah khosoih loh a himbai te suk saeh lamtah a pum khaw tui neh sil saeh. Te phoeiah rhaehhmuen la kun cakhaw khosoih te kholaeh due poeih uhla om saeh.

Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.

8 Te te aka hoeh long khaw a himbai te tui neh suk saeh. A pum te tui neh a silh ah pataeng hlaem due aka poeih uhla om saeh.

And he that burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

9 Te phoeiah hlang cuem loh vaito hloi te kol saeh lamtah rhaehhmuen vongvoel kah hmuen cuem ah khueh saeh. Te boirhaem tah Israel ca rhaengpuei ham khaw pumom tui dongkah tuemkoi la om saeh.

And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

10 Vaito hloi aka kol tah a himbai a suk phoeiah khaw hlaem due aka poeih uh la om saeh. Te dongah Israel ca ham neh amih khui ah aka bakuep yinlai ham khaw kumhal kah khosing la om saeh.

And he that gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourns among them, for a statute for ever.

11 Duek rhok aka ben hlang kah hinglu boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah aka poeih uhla om saeh.

He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

12 A hnin thum dongah anihte amah cilpoe uh saeh lamtah a hnin rhih dongah caihcil saeh. A hnin thum dongaha cilpoe pawt ataha hnin rhih dongah khaw caihcil mahpawh.

He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 Hlang hinglu aka duek te aka ben boeih tah duek tiha cilpoe pawt atah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim te a poeih. Te dongah tekah hinglu te Israel lamloh khoe saeh. Pumom tui te a pum dongah a haeh pawt dongah a soah a tihnai kap pueng tih rhalawt.

Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 He tah dap ah hlang a duek vaengkah kah olkhueng ni. Tekah dap la aka mop boeih neh dap khuikah boeih tah hnin rhih poeih uh ni.

This is the law, when a man dies in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15 A soah amhuep amtlaeng aka om pawt tih aka ah hnopai boeih te khaw rhalawt la om.

And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

16 Diklai hman kah cunghang neh aka duek kah rhok khaw, hlang rhuh khaw, phuel khaw aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih poeih uh ni.

And whosoever touches one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 Hlang rhalawt ham tah boirhaem kah ungkhang laipi te loh pah lamtah am khuiah tui hing bueih thil saeh.

And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

18 Hlang cuem loh pumpiding a loh tih tui ah a nuem phoeiah tah dap dongah khaw, hnopai boeih dongah khaw, te kah aka om hinglu boeih, te aka ben soah, a rhuh soah khaw, duek rhok soah khaw, phuel ah khaw haeh saeh.

And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

19 Te phoeiah a hnin thum dong neh hnin rhih dongah tah hlang cuem loh hlang rhalawt soah haeh saeh. A hnin rhih dongah tah anih te cilpoe saeh. Te vaengah a himbai suk saeh lamtah tui hlu saeh, hlaem vaengah tah caihcil bitni.

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

20 Poeih uh tih aka cilpoe uh pawt hlang tah BOEIPA kah rhokso a poeih dongah hlangping khui lamloha hinglu hnawt pah saeh. Pumom tui te anih soaha haeh pawt dongah anihte rhalawt.

But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

21 Amih ham kumhal kah khosing la om coeng tih pumom tui aka haeh tah a himbai suk uh saeh. Te dongah pumom tui aka ben khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni.

And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

22 A soah rhalawt loh a ben boeih khaw poeih uh. Te te aka ben hinglu khaw hlaem duela poeih uh ni,” a ti nah.

And whatsoever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until even.
