Ezekiel 44
1 Hathnukkhu hmuen kathounge hmuen, kanîtholah kangvawi e takhang koelah na ceikhai teh, haw e takhang teh ka kâtaren e lah ao.
THEN he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 BAWIPA ni hete takhang teh taren e lah ao vaiteh, paawng mahoeh, apihai kâen awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut a kâen toung dawkvah, taren e lah ao han.
Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 Bawi teh bawi lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah a canei hanelah hote tho koe a tahung han. Bawi teh vaikhap koehoi a kâen tâco han telah a ti.
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Hahoi atunglah kangvawi e takhang bawkim e hmalah, na ceikhai. Ka khet nah khenhaw! BAWIPA e im teh BAWIPA a bawilennae hoi akawi teh, pakhup lah ka tabo.
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
5 BAWIPA ni tami capa BAWIPA e im dawk kâlawk hoi phunglam pueng ka dei e hah thaihaw! imthung kâennae tho hoi takhang e hmuen koehoi tâconae thonaw pueng hah ka hawi lah pâkuemh.
And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 Taran ka thaw e Isarel imthung koevah, hettelah na dei han, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Oe! nangmouh Isarel imthungnaw, na khinnae bout na thap sin hanelah, miphun alouke, lungthin hoi takthai lahoi vuensom ka a hoeh e,
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 Kaie vaiyei, satui, thinaw na poe awh navah, hmuen kathoung kaie im roeroe khin sak hanelah na kâen awh teh, ka lawkkamnae na ek awh e dawkvah, panuet na thonae pueng hah pâpout e lah awm lawi na seh.
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 Kathounge kaie hno hah na ring awh hoeh, hete miphun alouknaw heh, kaie hmuen kathoung dawkvah nangmae yueng lah karingkung lah na hruek awh.
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ram louk e apihai lungthin hoi takthai hoi vuensom ka a hoeh e Isarelnaw dawk e ram alouke tami pueng teh, kaie hmuen kathoung dawk kâen mahoeh.
Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 Levih miphun, Isarel meikaphawk pâlei hoi a kâva awh lahun nah, kai koehoi kahlatpoung lah ka cet tangcoung naw ni a payonnae hah a phu awh han.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Hateiteh, kai hmuen kathoung dawk thaw katawkkung lah ao awh vaiteh, im longkhanaw hah a ring awh vaiteh, impui thung vah thaw a tawk awh han, taminaw hanelah hmaisawi thuengnae hoi sathei a poe awh vaiteh, thaw a tawk pouh awh hanelah a hmalah a kangdue awh han.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Amamae meikaphawk hmalah thaw a tawk pouh awh teh, Isarel imthung hanelah payonnae thung vah rawpnae doeh. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh taranlahoi ka kut ka dâw teh, a payonae a phu awh roeroe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Hottelah kai koe vaihma thaw a tawk hanelah, na hnai awh mahoeh. Kathounge kaie hno hoi kathounghoehe kaie hnonaw rek na hnai thai awh mahoeh. Yeiraiponae hoi panuettho e hno a sak awh e hah a phu awh han.
And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Hat nakunghai, hote thaw tawk sak hanelah kaawm e pueng tawk hanelah, bawkim ka khenyawnkung lah thaw ka poe han.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 Hateiteh, vaihma Levih miphun Zadok capa, kai koehoi Isarelnaw lam a phen awh nah, kaie hmuen kathoung karingkungnaw hah teh, ka thaw a tawk awh hanelah rek na hnai awh han, a thithaw poe hanelah, ka hmalah a kangdue awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
16 Hmuen kathoung dawk a kâen awh han, kai hane thaw tawk hanelah, kaie caboi a hnai awh han, kaie thaw katawkkung lah ao awh han.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 Ahnimouh ni a thung patuen e thongma dawk e takhang koehoi a kâen awh navah, loukloukkaang e hoi sak e angkidung hah a khohna awh han. Athung e thongma thung thaw a tawk awh navah, tumuen angki khohnat awh mahoeh.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 A lû dawk lukkarei luhuem a huem awh vaiteh, a keng dawk lukkarei hnadung a hna awh han. Lahuntui ka tâcawt sak e banghai khohnat awh mahoeh.
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 Taminaw a onae koe thongma koe lah a tâco toteh, thaw a tawk nah a khohna e hah a rading awh vaiteh, kathounge rakhannaw dawk a hruek awh vaiteh, alouke a khohna awh han, kathounge khohna hoi taminaw thoung sak mahoeh.
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Ahnimae sam luengpalueng lah ngaw mahoeh, kasawpoung lah hlung awh mahoeh, a ngaw awh han.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Vaihma ni athung patuen e rakhan dawk a kâen toteh, misurtui net mahoeh.
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Lahmainunaw hoi kâpaluen awh mahoeh, a vâ ni amae napui hoi kâpaluen mahoeh, Isarel miphun tanglakacuem hoi vaihma ni a due takhai e lahmai hoi a kâpaluen awh han.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 Kaie ka taminaw hah kathounge hoi kathounghoehe a kapek thai awh teh panue sak hanelah na cangkhai awh han.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Kamcannae ao nah lawkceng awh han, kai ni lawkceng e boiboe lah a ceng awh han, kaie pawi hnin thapa tangkuem dawk phunglawk hoi kâlawk a tarawi awh han, kaie sabbath hai a ya awh han.
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 Ma hoi ma kâkhinsak nahanelah, tami ro hah hnai awh mahoeh, a manu, a napa, a canu, a capa, a hmaunawngha tongpa, a tawncanu a vâ ka sak hoeh rae naw hane teh a kâkhinsak thai han.
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Hahoi a kamthoung hnukkhu hnin sari touh ao han.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 A thoungnae hmuen koe thaw a tawk hanelah, athung patuen lae thongma a thoungnae hmuen koelah a kâen hnin vah, yonthanae sathei a thueng han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God.
28 Râw lah coe han e talai banghai tawn awh mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, a coe awh e teh kai doeh toe. Isarel dawk ham banghai na poe awh mahoeh, a coe awh e teh kai doeh toe.
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 Thueng e vaiyei hoi, yon thuengnae sathei, kâtapoe thuengnae sathei hah a ca awh han, Isarelnaw koe lawkkam e thueng e hnonaw pueng ahnimae râw lah ao han.
They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Aluepaw kahawipoungnaw hoi, thueng e naw thung dawk kahawipoungnaw hah vaihmanaw ni a coe awh han, ahni ni nange im dawk, yawhawinae a pha sak nahanelah, tavai ahmaloe kanawk e hah vaihma koevah na poe awh han.
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 Tava hai thoseh, moithang hai thoseh amahmawk kadout e, sarang ni a kei e ro hah vaihmanaw ni cat mahoeh.
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
