1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Nang ni Isarel miphun, rangpuinaw koe bout na dei pouh hane teh, nangmae BAWIPA, Kai teh kathounge patetlah nangmouh hai thoung van awh.
“Speak to all the assembly of the people of Israel and say to them, 'You must be holy, for I Yahweh your God am holy.
3 Tami pueng ni na manu hoi na pa na bari awh han. Kaie sabbath hnin hai na ya awh han. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
Everyone must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.

Do not turn to worthless idols, nor make for yourselves gods out of metal. I am Yahweh your God.

When you offer a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you must offer it that you may be accepted.
6 Thuengnae hnin hoi atangtho hnin dawk na ca awh han. Cawi pawiteh, a tawkkahnin teh hmai na sawi awh han.
It must be eaten the same day you offer it, or on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it must be burned up with fire.
7 Tawkkahnin dawk yitca nakunghai na cat awh pawiteh, panuettho e lah ao. Lungyouk lah awm mahoeh.
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is unclean meat; it must not be accepted,
8 Ka cat e tami teh BAWIPA thoungnae a khinsak dawkvah, a yonnae phu teh ama ni a khang han. Hote tami teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.
and everyone who eats it must carry his own guilt because he has defiled what is holy to Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from his people.

Then the priest will make atonement for him with the ram for the guilt offering before Yahweh, for the sin that he has committed. Then the sin which he has committed will be forgiven.

When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you must regard the fruit they produce as forbidden to be eaten. The fruit must be forbidden to you for three years. It must not be eaten.
