Milu Pareinae 6
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Isarel catounnaw koe dei pouh. Ahnimouh koe tongpa thoseh, napui thoseh BAWIPA koe ama Nazirite lawkkamnae la hanlah, a kâkapek teh a kâhmoun toteh,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
3 misur hoi yamu tek mahoeh. Misurtui hoi yamucang hai net mahoeh. Misurtui nei e hoi misurpaw katha e khumbei dawk vaw teh kamyai e hai cat mahoeh.
You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 A kâkapek nah yunglam pueng teh misurkung dawk hoi a mu thoseh, atui thoseh cat awh mahoeh.
You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
5 A kâkapeknae lawk a kam nah thung pueng teh, a lû ngaw mahoeh. BAWIPA hmalah a kâpeknae hnin a pha hoehroukrak teh kathounge lah ao han. Hottelah a sam a hlung vaiteh, a sai sak han.
‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
6 BAWIPA hanlah a kâkapeknae thung pueng teh, tami ro koe hnai mahoeh.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 A na pa thoseh, a manu thoseh, a hmaunawngha thoseh, a tawncanu thoseh, a duenae kong dawk hai kâkhinsak hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut hanlah a kâkapeknae a lû dawk ao.
Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
8 A kâkapek yunglam teh BAWIPA hanlah kathounge lah ao han.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Ateng vah, pouk laipalah tami koe dout pawiteh, a kâkapeknae a lû dawk khin sak pawiteh, a kamthoung nah hnin vah, a lû a ngaw vaiteh, a hnin sari hnin vah a pâkhamuen a ngaw han.
‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
10 A hnin taroe hnin vah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe e vaihma koe bakhu kahni touh thoseh, Âbakhu kahni touh thoseh a sin awh han.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Vaihma ni buet touh teh yon thueng nahanlah a poe vaiteh, alouke buet touh teh hmaisawi thueng nahan, tami kadout kecu dawk a sakpayon e dawk a yontha nahanlah a sak pouh han. Hot hnin vah a lû hah a thoung sak han.
‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
12 Hahoi kâtapoe thuengnae dawkvah kum touh ka pha e tuca a tan a thokhai vaiteh, kâkapeknae hnin teh BAWIPA koe vah a katha lah a tâcokhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâkapeknae hah a khin sak toung dawkvah, ahmaloe e teh banglah tho mahoeh toe.
The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
13 Hahoi Nazirite a kâkapeknae hnin a kuep toteh, a sak awh hane kâlawk doeh. Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe na ceikhai awh han.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Hahoi BAWIPA koe thuengnae hah a poe han. Tutan kacueme hmaisawi thuengnae koe buet touh, yon thueng nahanelah tulaca kacueme buet touh, roum thueng nahanelah, kacueme tutanca buet touh,
and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
15 tonphuenhoehe tavai hah a kanui e tavai satui hoi kanawk e tavai tueng buet touh satui hluk e tavai ka rapamca e a tabu buet touh, tavai thuengnae hoi lannae thueng hoi na poe awh han.
‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
16 Hahoi vaihma ni tavai hah BAWIPA hmalah a thokhai vaiteh, yon thuengnae hoi hmaisawi thuengnae hah a poe han.
‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
17 Hahoi tutan hah tonphuenhoehe tavai tabu dawk hoi roum thuengnae hah Bawipa koe a poe han. Vaihma ni tavai thuengnae, nei thuengnae hoi a poe sin han.
Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
18 Nazirite tami ni, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a sam hah a ngaw vaiteh, roum thuengnae a saknae koe hmai hoi a sawi han.
‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
19 Hahoi vaihma ni tutan e a loung a thawng e hoi tonphuenhoehe a tabu dawk a ta e vaiyei buet touh, tonphuenhoehe vaiyei ka rapam e phen buet touh, a la vaiteh, Nazirite niyah a kâhmounnae a sam koung a ngaw hnukkhu hoi a kut dawk a ta han.
‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
20 Hahoi vaihma ni kahek thuengnae dawkvah, BAWIPA hmalah a kahek han. Hetheh vaihma hmang lah kaawm han. Hetheh vaihma e ham lah kaawm han. Kahek e a takuep hoi a kahek e a phai teh a thoung han, hahoi teh Nazirite tami ni misur a nei thai han toe, telah a ti.
Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
21 Hetheh Nazirite lawkkam a kâhmounnae hoi poehno e BAWIPA koe lawkkamnae kasakkung e kâlawk lah ao. Hothloilah a ma kut hoi ka dam sak e pueng hah lawkkamnae a sak e patetlah a kâhmounnae kâlawk patetlah a sak roeroe han.;
‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
22 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Aron hoi a capanaw koevah, het patetlah Isarel catounnaw yawhawi na poe han, ahnimouh koe,
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe awh teh, na khenyawn awh naseh.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 BAWIPA ni a minhmai nangmouh koe kho lah a sei vaiteh, na pahren awh naseh.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 BAWIPA teh nangmouh koelah kangvawi seh, roumnae na poe awh han, telah dei pouh awh telah a dei.
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Hot patetlah sak e ni Isarel catounnaw koe ka min a kamnue sak awh han. Kai ni ahnimouh teh yawhawi ka poe han, telah a ti.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
