Thothuengnah 24
1 Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te uen lah. Te vaengah olive situi cil a sui te khuen saeh hmaiim dongah hmaivang te phat vang saeh.
“Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
3 Tekah hmaiim te tingtunnah dap khuikah olphong hniyan kah a voel ah Aaron loh ten saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khoyin lamkah mincang duela pai yoeyah saeh. Te te na cadilcahma rhoek taengah kumhal khosingla om saeh.
Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
4 Hmaiim rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh kah a cim hmaitung soah ten yoeyah saeh.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Vaidam te khaw lo lamtah vaidam laep parha hlai nit la kaeng saeh. Vaidam doh nit tah vaidam laep pakhat la rhip om saeh lamtah,
“Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
6 BOEIPA mikhmuh kah caboei cim soah than at dongah parhuk neh than nit la tloeng.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Tekah a than dongah hmueihtui cil te khueh bal lamtah vaidam te BOEIPA taengah kamhoeinah hmaihlutnah la om saeh.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Kumhal paipi vanbangla Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah vaidam te Sabbath hnin, Sabbath hnin ah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tloeng yoeyah saeh.
New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
9 Tekah vaidam te a Aaron neh anih koca rhoek kah a hut la a om dongah aka cim te a cim vanbangla hmuen cim ah dawk ca uh saeh. BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah khuiah tekah vaidam tah Aaron ham kumhal buhvae la om saeh,” a ti nah.
The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
10 Te vaengah Israelhoel nu kah a capa neh Egypt hlang kah a capa te Isreal ca rhoek taengah cet tih rhaehhmuen khuikah Israelhoel nu kah a capa neh Israel hlang te a hnueih uh rhoi.
There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
11 Te vaengah Israelhoel nu kah a capa loh ming a sal a pham tih a tap. Te dongah anih te Moses taengla a thak uh hatah a manu ming tah Dan koca khuikah Dibri nu Shelomith la pawk.
12 Te dongah a lungbuei loh BOEIPA olpaek te a puk duela anih te thongim ah a khoh uh.
So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
13 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Thae aka phoei te rhaehhmuen vongvoel la khuen uh. Aka ya boeih loh anih lu soah a kut tloeng uh saeh. Anih te rhaengpuei boeih loh dae uh saeh.
“[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
15 Isreal ca rhoek te khaw voek lamtah thui pah. Hlang khat khat long ni a Pathen te a tap atah a tholh te amah loh yook van saeh.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Te dongah BOEIPA ming aka toeh tah duek rhoe duek saeh. rhaengpuei boeih loh anih te dae rhoe dae uh. Yinlai khaw tolrhum mupoe khawBOEIPAming a toeh atah duek saeh.
So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
17 Hlang kah hinglu khat khat aka ngawn hlang khaw duek rhoe duek saeh.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Rhamsa kah hinglu aka ngawn long khaw hinglu te hinglu neh thuung saeh.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Hlang loh a imben te nganboh a paek atah a saii vanbangla amah taengah saii pah van saeh.
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 Rhuh tlawt ham rhuh tlawt, mik ham mik, no ham no van, hlang soah nganboh a paek vanbangla amah te pae van saeh.
If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
21 Rhamsa aka ngawn khaw a yueng thuung sak lamtah hlang aka ngawn tah duek saeh.
Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
22 Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah nangmih taengkah laitloeknah he pakhat la om saeh lamtah yinlai ham khaw, tolrhum mupoe ham khaw, pakhat la om saeh,” a ti nah.
That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
23 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek te Moses loh a voek. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh dongah thae aka phoei te rhaehhmuen vongvoel la a khuen uh tih lungto neh a dae uh.
Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
