Bawknae 1

1 BAWIPA ni Mosi a kaw teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk hoi a pato.

Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:

2 Nang ni Isarel miphunnaw koe na dei pouh hane lawk teh, nangmouh thung dawk tami buetbuet touh ni BAWIPA koe hno poe hanelah ngai pawiteh, saring, tu, hmae hoi maito a sin han.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:

3 Maito hah hmaisawi thuengnae lah a sak han ngai pawiteh, kacueme a na tongpa na thokhai vaiteh, Cathut lungyouk nahanlah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe na poe han.

if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.

4 Thueng e maito lû dawk amae kut a toung vaiteh, ahnie yontha nahanlah a dâw han.

And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.

5 BAWIPA hmalah hote maito a thei awh hnukkhu, Aron e capanaw ni a thi hah a sin awh vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang teng sathei thuengnae khoungroe van petkâtue lah thi a kahei han.

And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

6 Thuengnae ka sak e tami ni saring e pho a hlip vaiteh, thoukthouk a tâtueng han.

And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,

7 Aron e capa vaihmanaw ni sathei thuengnae khoungroe van, thing a paruen hnukkhu hmai a patawi vaiteh,

and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.

8 Thing van vah a lû, athaw hoi a takpatinaw na ta han.

And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,

9 A khok hoi a ruenthinnaw hah tui hoi hmaloe na pâsu han. Vaihma ni hote sathei abuemlahoi khoungroe van hmai hoi a sawi han. Hetteh, hmai hoi sathei thuengnae doeh. BAWIPA koe hmuitui hanlah hmai hoi thuengnae lah ao.

the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.

10 Tu, hmae hah hmaisawi thuengnae lah sak han na ngai pawiteh, kacueme a na tongpa na thokhai vaiteh,

But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 BAWIPA hmalah khoungroe atunglah na thei hnukkhu, Aron e capa, vaihmanaw ni a thi hah khoungroe petkâtue lah a kahei han.

And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.

12 Thuengnae ka sak e tami ni thoukthouk a tâtueng han. A lû hoi a moi hah a pâkhueng vaiteh vaihma ni khoungroe van e thing van a ta han.

And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.

13 A khok hoi a ruenthinnaw hah tui hoi hmaloe a pâsu han. Vaihma ni abuemlahoi a sin vaiteh khoungroe van hmai a sawi han. Hetteh, BAWIPA koe hmaisawi hmuitui thuengnae lah ao.

Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.

14 BAWIPA koe tava hoi hmaisawi thuengnae sak hanlah na ngai pawiteh, bakhu thoseh, âbakhu thoseh, na thokhai vaiteh na poe han.

But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,

15 Vaihma ni khoungroe koe a thokhai hnukkhu, a lahuen a kapen vaiteh khoungroe van hmai a sawi han. A thi teh khoungroe teng a pacâ han.

the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.

16 A yoncapo hoi a cuekcaduen dawk e rawcanaw hah na la hnukkhu hraba tanae hmuen, khoungroe hmalah a tâkhawng han.

Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.

17 A rathei khuehoi tava a sei vaiteh vaihma ni khoungroe van e thing van hmai a sawi han. Hetteh, BAWIPA koe hmaisawi hmuitui thuengnae lah ao.

And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
