Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “No.”
13 Chuin Haggai in adong in, “Mihem khat mithi long atohkhat jeh'a dan dungjuiya aboh a um chun hiche neh le chah ho chu tongkha taleh, abohsah ding hitam?” Chuin thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Henge abohsah ahitai,” atiuve.
And Haggai says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”

From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been twenty.
17 Keiman nalouma jouseu ka motlhah sah’in, nget kaneh sah’in chuleh gelchang kalhah sah’in natohgau muchi chivo jouse kasumang in ahi. Hiche jouse nungin jong, ka henga nahung kile nom hih laiyuve, tin Pakai in aseiye.”
