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 by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks 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.
YHWH said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for YHWH, the God of Israel, has 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.
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before YHWH; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the 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 he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and look, the glory of YHWH filled the house of YHWH: and I fell on 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.
YHWH said to me, "Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of YHWH, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit 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,
You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, 'Thus says YHWH: you 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 you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and you have broken my covenant, to add to 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.
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty 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 says YHWH, 'No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are 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.
But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall 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 oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to 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 to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says YHWH, 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.
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; 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.
Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it.
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 Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says YHWH:
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 to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
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.
"'It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while 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 turbans on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes 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.
When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they 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 allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 Vaihma ni athung patuen e rakhan dawk a kâen toteh, misurtui net mahoeh.
Neither shall any of the priests 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 who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 Kaie ka taminaw hah kathounge hoi kathounghoehe a kapek thai awh teh panue sak hanelah na cangkhai awh han.
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, 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.
"'In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall make my Sabbaths holy.
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.
"'They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Hahoi a kamthoung hnukkhu hnin sari touh ao han.
After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to 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.
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says YHWH.
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.
"'They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you 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 meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted 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.
The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest: you shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your 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 anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
