Ezekiel 44
1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.
Hathnukkhu hmuen kathounge hmuen, kanîtholah kangvawi e takhang koelah na ceikhai teh, haw e takhang teh ka kâtaren e lah ao.
2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.
BAWIPA ni hete takhang teh taren e lah ao vaiteh, paawng mahoeh, apihai kâen awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut a kâen toung dawkvah, taren e lah ao han.
3 Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”
Bawi teh bawi lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah a canei hanelah hote tho koe a tahung han. Bawi teh vaikhap koehoi a kâen tâco han telah a ti.
4 Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.
Hahoi atunglah kangvawi e takhang bawkim e hmalah, na ceikhai. Ka khet nah khenhaw! BAWIPA e im teh BAWIPA a bawilennae hoi akawi teh, pakhup lah ka tabo.
5 The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.
BAWIPA ni tami capa BAWIPA e im dawk kâlawk hoi phunglam pueng ka dei e hah thaihaw! imthung kâennae tho hoi takhang e hmuen koehoi tâconae thonaw pueng hah ka hawi lah pâkuemh.
6 Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Taran ka thaw e Isarel imthung koevah, hettelah na dei han, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Oe! nangmouh Isarel imthungnaw, na khinnae bout na thap sin hanelah, miphun alouke, lungthin hoi takthai lahoi vuensom ka a hoeh e,
7 In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.
Kaie vaiyei, satui, thinaw na poe awh navah, hmuen kathoung kaie im roeroe khin sak hanelah na kâen awh teh, ka lawkkamnae na ek awh e dawkvah, panuet na thonae pueng hah pâpout e lah awm lawi na seh.
8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’
Kathounge kaie hno hah na ring awh hoeh, hete miphun alouknaw heh, kaie hmuen kathoung dawkvah nangmae yueng lah karingkung lah na hruek awh.
9 This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ram louk e apihai lungthin hoi takthai hoi vuensom ka a hoeh e Isarelnaw dawk e ram alouke tami pueng teh, kaie hmuen kathoung dawk kâen mahoeh.
10 Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.
Levih miphun, Isarel meikaphawk pâlei hoi a kâva awh lahun nah, kai koehoi kahlatpoung lah ka cet tangcoung naw ni a payonnae hah a phu awh han.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.
Hateiteh, kai hmuen kathoung dawk thaw katawkkung lah ao awh vaiteh, im longkhanaw hah a ring awh vaiteh, impui thung vah thaw a tawk awh han, taminaw hanelah hmaisawi thuengnae hoi sathei a poe awh vaiteh, thaw a tawk pouh awh hanelah a hmalah a kangdue awh han.
12 Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
Amamae meikaphawk hmalah thaw a tawk pouh awh teh, Isarel imthung hanelah payonnae thung vah rawpnae doeh. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh taranlahoi ka kut ka dâw teh, a payonae a phu awh roeroe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.
Hottelah kai koe vaihma thaw a tawk hanelah, na hnai awh mahoeh. Kathounge kaie hno hoi kathounghoehe kaie hnonaw rek na hnai thai awh mahoeh. Yeiraiponae hoi panuettho e hno a sak awh e hah a phu awh han.
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
Hat nakunghai, hote thaw tawk sak hanelah kaawm e pueng tawk hanelah, bawkim ka khenyawnkung lah thaw ka poe han.
15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.
Hateiteh, vaihma Levih miphun Zadok capa, kai koehoi Isarelnaw lam a phen awh nah, kaie hmuen kathoung karingkungnaw hah teh, ka thaw a tawk awh hanelah rek na hnai awh han, a thithaw poe hanelah, ka hmalah a kangdue awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
Hmuen kathoung dawk a kâen awh han, kai hane thaw tawk hanelah, kaie caboi a hnai awh han, kaie thaw katawkkung lah ao awh han.
17 When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.
Ahnimouh ni a thung patuen e thongma dawk e takhang koehoi a kâen awh navah, loukloukkaang e hoi sak e angkidung hah a khohna awh han. Athung e thongma thung thaw a tawk awh navah, tumuen angki khohnat awh mahoeh.
18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
A lû dawk lukkarei luhuem a huem awh vaiteh, a keng dawk lukkarei hnadung a hna awh han. Lahuntui ka tâcawt sak e banghai khohnat awh mahoeh.
19 When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
Taminaw a onae koe thongma koe lah a tâco toteh, thaw a tawk nah a khohna e hah a rading awh vaiteh, kathounge rakhannaw dawk a hruek awh vaiteh, alouke a khohna awh han, kathounge khohna hoi taminaw thoung sak mahoeh.
20 They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.
Ahnimae sam luengpalueng lah ngaw mahoeh, kasawpoung lah hlung awh mahoeh, a ngaw awh han.
21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.
Vaihma ni athung patuen e rakhan dawk a kâen toteh, misurtui net mahoeh.
22 And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.
Lahmainunaw hoi kâpaluen awh mahoeh, a vâ ni amae napui hoi kâpaluen mahoeh, Isarel miphun tanglakacuem hoi vaihma ni a due takhai e lahmai hoi a kâpaluen awh han.
23 They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.
Kaie ka taminaw hah kathounge hoi kathounghoehe a kapek thai awh teh panue sak hanelah na cangkhai awh han.
24 In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.
Kamcannae ao nah lawkceng awh han, kai ni lawkceng e boiboe lah a ceng awh han, kaie pawi hnin thapa tangkuem dawk phunglawk hoi kâlawk a tarawi awh han, kaie sabbath hai a ya awh han.
25 A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,
Ma hoi ma kâkhinsak nahanelah, tami ro hah hnai awh mahoeh, a manu, a napa, a canu, a capa, a hmaunawngha tongpa, a tawncanu a vâ ka sak hoeh rae naw hane teh a kâkhinsak thai han.
26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.
Hahoi a kamthoung hnukkhu hnin sari touh ao han.
27 And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.
A thoungnae hmuen koe thaw a tawk hanelah, athung patuen lae thongma a thoungnae hmuen koelah a kâen hnin vah, yonthanae sathei a thueng han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
Râw lah coe han e talai banghai tawn awh mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, a coe awh e teh kai doeh toe. Isarel dawk ham banghai na poe awh mahoeh, a coe awh e teh kai doeh toe.
29 They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.
Thueng e vaiyei hoi, yon thuengnae sathei, kâtapoe thuengnae sathei hah a ca awh han, Isarelnaw koe lawkkam e thueng e hnonaw pueng ahnimae râw lah ao han.
30 The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.
Aluepaw kahawipoungnaw hoi, thueng e naw thung dawk kahawipoungnaw hah vaihmanaw ni a coe awh han, ahni ni nange im dawk, yawhawinae a pha sak nahanelah, tavai ahmaloe kanawk e hah vaihma koevah na poe awh han.
31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
Tava hai thoseh, moithang hai thoseh amahmawk kadout e, sarang ni a kei e ro hah vaihmanaw ni cat mahoeh.
