Bawknae 5
1 Tami buetbuet touh ni a hmu e hoi a panue e hno dawk, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao teh, a pathang e thoebonae a thai nahlangva, dei laipalah awm pawiteh, yonpennae teh ama ni a khang han.
[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
2 Tami buetbuet touh ni kathounghoehe sarang, saring, vonpui hoi kâva e saring kathoung hoeh e kadout e ro tek pawiteh yonpen lah ao han.
If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
3 Hot hnukkhu hoi, tami hanelah kathounghoehe, kakhin e lah kaawm e hno, a kâbet payon e hah bout a panue torei teh yon pen lah ao han.
If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
4 Tami buetbuet touh ni kahawi hno thoseh, kathout hno thoseh, sut pouk laipalah lawkkamnae a sak teh, thoe a bo. Hote lawkkamnae bout a kâpanue torei teh, yon pen lah ao han.
If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
5 Hetpatete yonpennae buet buet touh ao torei teh, Bangpatete nakunghai ama ni yonpâpho naseh.
If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
6 A sakpayon e yontha nahanlah tu thoseh, hmae thoseh, a napui ca buetbuet touh yon thueng nahanelah, Cathut koe a thokhai hnukkhu, vaihma ni hote tami hanelah yon thuengnae a sak pouh han.
And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.
7 Tuca tawn hoehpawiteh, a sak payonnae yontha nahanlah sathei buet touh hmai thueng nahanlah buet touh, bakhu kahni touh, hoeh pawiteh âbakhu kahni touh BAWIPA koe vaihma hmalah a thokhai han.
If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Vaihma ni yonthanae sathei hah hmaloe thuengnae a sak han. A lahuen a kapen vaiteh, a tâtueng han. A tak teh na sei mahoeh.
You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
9 Hote yon thuengnae sathei thi hah, khoungroe tapang dawk a kahei vaiteh, kacawie a thi teh, khoungroe kung koe a paca han. Hethateh, yon thuengnae doeh.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.
10 Apâhni e tava teh a lamthung patetlah hmai thuengnae patetlah thuengnae a sak han. Hottelah, Vaihma ni ahnie a sakpayon e yon hanlah yonthanae a sak pouh pawiteh, ahnie yon teh tha lah ao han.
The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
11 Bakhu kahni touh thoseh, âbakhu kahni touh thoseh, buetbuet touh coung thai hoehpawiteh, yon ka sak e tami ni yon thuengnae sathei yueng lah tavai ephah pung hra pung touh a thokhai han. Yon thuengnae lah ao dawkvah satui hoi frankinsen na awi mahoeh.
However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.
12 Vaihma koe na thokhai hnukkhu, vaihma ni tavai vai touh kasum a la vaiteh, BAWIPA koe hmai thuengnae hoi cungtalah khoungroe van hmai a sawi han. Hethateh, yon thuengnae lah ao.
You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
13 Hettelah, vaihma ni hote tami ni a sakpayon e yon hanelah yon thuengnae sak pawiteh ahnie yontha lah ao han. Kacawie teh tavai thuengnae patetlah vaihma hanelah ao han telah Mosi koe atipouh.
And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
14 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
15 Tami buetbuet touh ni phunglawk panuek laipalah BAWIPA hoi kâkuen e hno dawk payon pawiteh, hote payonnae hanlah yonthanae sathei tie tutan hmuen kathoung koe e patetlah ngun tangka a to vaiteh, BAWIPA koe a thokhai han.
“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
16 Hottelah, BAWIPA hoi kâkuen e hno dawk, a sakpayon e hanlah, panga touh dawk buet touh a thapsin vaiteh, vaihma koe a poe han. Vaihma ni hai yonthanae sathei lah kaawm e tu hoi hote tami hanelah yonthanae sak pouh pawiteh, ahnie yon teh tha lah ao han.
But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
17 Tami buetbuet touh ni BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e sakpayon pawiteh, a sak payonnae ama ni a panue hoeh nakunghai a sak hno teh ama ni a khang han.
If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
18 Yonnae ngaithoum nahanelah, kacueme tutan, vaihma koe a thokhai han. Phunglawk panuek laipalah, a sakpayon nakunghai, amahoima yonnae kâpanuek hoeh e tami hanelah vaihma ni yonthanae sak pouh pawiteh, ahnie yon teh tha lah ao han.
[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
19 Hettelah, BAWIPA ka taran niteh, kâ kaek katang e kâtapoe thuengnae doeh telah ati.
It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
