Thempu Dan 21
1 Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin aseipeh in, keiman kathupeh chengse hi Aaron chapate thempuho jah a seipeh tan. “Thempu koi hileh aheng akom thivuina kina, panga kisuboh thei lou ding ahi.”
The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens:
2 Inko khat akinaipi hichu anu ham, apa ham, achanu ham chule asopipa ham ahikhah louleh,
But only for his kin, such as are near in blood, that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also,
3 Asopinu chu nungah laileh atheng hinalai ahileh, hichenu chu ajipa um nailou ahin, amadia jong insungkhat a umnalai ahin, asopinu chunga vang hi athilong aop a kisuhboh thei ahi.
And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband:
4 Pasal khat mipa dinmun ahinunga amite lah a kisuh boh louhel ding, amale ama jeng jong kisunoh phah lou ding ahi.
But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
5 Amahon aluchang-u akihotol thei loudiu, abeng mul jeng ujong akivo chai lou diu, chule atahsa jeng ujong timaha umthei lou ding ahi.
Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
6 Abonchauva Pathen adia atheng hidiu, a Pathen pau min asuh thang louhel diu ahi, ajeh chu amaho hin a Pathen pau nehdia changlhah thilto jouse Pakai lama ahinto doh jio ahin, hijeh achu amaho hi athenga umdiu ahi.
They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name: for they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God, and therefore they shall be holy.
7 Numei aki johsa kiti jong akichen pithei lou diu, ajipa khat in adalhahsa numei jong chu akichenpi thei louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu hiche thempu chu a Pathen pa dia atheng ahi.
They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
8 Nangman ama chu thensona nanei peh a, ajeh chu amapan na Pathen adia changlhah atodohji ahin, amajong nangdia atheng ahin, hiche jouse chunga hin nangho thensoa pang Pakai keima hi, atheng jing kahi.
And offer the leaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy, because I also am holy, the Lord, who sanctify them.
9 Chule thempupa chanu chu akijoh a apan khah a ama le ama akisuh boh khah tah leh, hiche nu chun apa jeng jong asuhboh ahitan, hitia chon numei kiti phot chu meiya govam hel ding ahi.
If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom, and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
10 Chule asopi holah a thempu chungnung penpa, angaiya alua kinu thaotwi kinusa, vontheng ngena kivon dinga thenso nachang khat chun, asam alhaiya putda henlang, aponsil jong akehlai aumsah lou ding ahi.
The high priest, that is to say, the priest, is the greatest among his brethren. upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who hath been vested with the holy vestments, shall not uncover his head, he shall not rend his garments:
11 Apa hihen anu hijongleh mithi long anailut a, ama le ama kisuboh thei louhel ding ahi.
Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled:
12 Muntheng lai chu adalhah'a hiche muntheng chu asuhboh thei louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu amahi a Pathen akona thensona thaotwi akinu chu achunga akipoh le ahitan, keima Pakai chu kahi.
Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord, because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13 Chule amapan jong aji ding nu chu, nungah theng ahiphat a akipui ding ahi.
He shall take a virgin unto his wife:
14 Meithai hihen akidasa hijong leh, chule akisubohsa numei hihen akijohsa hijong leh, amaho tobang chu thempu pan ji dinga akipui thei louhel ding, amaji ding chu amite lah a kon mong mong nungah thengset akipui ding ahi.
But a widow or one that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of his own people:
15 Hichu abol teng amite lah a chu ama chate jeng jong asuhboh tah lou ding, ajeh chu amapa thensoa pang chu keima Pakai kahi, ati.
He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
16 Chule Pakaiyin Mose hengah thu aseiyin, hiti hin bolin, ati.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Aaron jah a seipeh tan, nason na chilhah teho chu akhang akhang uva, abonchauva atahsa chunga losapna nei jouse a Pathen dinga changlhah tohdoh dia hungsung lha thei lou ding ahiuve.
Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
18 Koi hileh tahsaa losapna nei chu, amitcho hihen, a elbai hihen, anah jom hihen atumpoh hijong leh,
Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
19 Mi koi hileh akeng phang ham ahilouleh, akhut kisuh boh ahikhah a,
If his foot, or if his hand be broken,
20 Chule atingbong ham adung nem amitkho mulou, tiphah natna ham, atibol lha jeng ham atilchang kisuh keh aum leh,
If he be crookbacked, or blear eyed, or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture:
21 Aaron chapate lah a kona hitobang atibukim lou puma, Pakai dia pumgo thilto tohdoh a pangthei louhel diu ahi, amapa tahsa chu aboh nei ahitan, hijeh achu a Pathen dia changlhah tohdoh a hungsung lhate hi louhel ding ahi.
Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish, he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
22 Ama chun a Pathen dia changlhah kitoh doh chu aneh thei ding, thil thengho chule atheng pen thil dang ho jong chu aneh thei ding ahinai,
He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that are offered in the sanctuary,
23 Ahinlah pondal phung hung lut a maicham phung jeng jong ajotpa louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu atibah kimlou ahitan, keima muntheng penchu asuhboh louhel ding ahi. Thempu jouse sutheng chu keima bou kahi, ati.
Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar, because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
24 Hicheng jouse hi abonchan, Mose’n Aaron ahin Aaron chapate jouse jah a anathupeh tan ahi.
Moses therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
