Bawknae 3
1 Maito hoi roum thuengnae sak hanlah na ngai pawiteh, kacueme atan nakunghai ala nakunghai buetbuet touh BAWIPA koe na sin han.
[“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.
2 Maito lû van amae kut a toung vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang teng a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capa vaihmanaw ni khoungroe petkâtue lah a thi a kahei awh han.
You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
3 A ruen ka ramuk e athaw, a ruen hoi kâkuen e athaw, patuen dawk kaawm e kuen kahni touh dawk e athaw,
From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—
4 kuen hoi cungtalah thin van kaawm e maimaranaw hah, roum thuengnae sathei thung e la vaiteh, BAWIPA koe hmai hoi thueng hanelah poe hnukkhu,
the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
5 Aron e a capanaw ni khoungroe van ta e sathei hoi cungtalah hmai a sawi a han. Hetteh, BAWIPA koe hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae lah ao.
Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
6 BAWIPA koe tu hoi hmae hah roum thuengnae sak han na ngai pawiteh, toun kaawm hoeh e atan nakunghai ala nakunghai buetbuet touh na sin han.
If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.
7 Tuca thuengnae lah sak han na ngai pawiteh BAWIPA hmalah na poe hnukkhu,
If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].
8 Tu e a lû van amae kut a toung vaiteh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capanaw ni thuengnae khoungroe van a thi petkâtue lah a kahei han.
Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.
9 Atak dawk e athaw, a kenghru tâtueng e, a moi abuemlah, a ruen ka ramuk e athaw, a ruen dawk e athaw,
You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—
10 Patuen dawk kaawm e kuen kahni touh dawk e athaw, kuen hoi thin dawk e maimaranaw, roumnae sathei dawk e na la vaiteh BAWIPA koe thuengnae na sak hnukkhu,
the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.
13 Hmae lû dawk a kut toung vaiteh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capanaw ni khoungroe petkâtue lah a thi hah a kahei han.

‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”
