Leviticus 17

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

2 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord has commanded, saying:

Aaron hoi a capanawk, Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih;

3 Any man at all of the house of Israel, if he will have killed an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

kawbaktih Israel kami mah doeh maitaw maeto, to tih ai boeh loe tuucaa maeto, to tih ai boeh loe maeh to angmacae ohhaih im ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe tasa bangah maw boh moe,

4 and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle, he shall be guilty of blood. It is just as if he had shed blood; so then, he shall perish from the midst of his people.

Angraeng ih kahni im hmaa ih, amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, Angraeng khaeah paek han sin ai nahaeloe, to kami to athii longsak kami ah net moe, angmah ih acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.

5 Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

Israel kaminawk loe taw ah a sak o ih angbawnhaih to, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im hmaa, Angraeng hmaa ah, qaima khaeah sin o tih; to hmuen to Angraeng khaeah angdaeh angbawnhaih ahmuen ah paek o tih.

6 And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall burn the fat as a sweet odor to the Lord.

Qaima mah athii to amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaom, hmaicam nuiah haeh ueloe, Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah athawk to hmai pakhaem tih.

7 And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

Nihcae mah angmacae hoi a takpum zawhhaih, taqawk khaeah angbawnhaih sah o mak ai boeh. Hae loe nihcae hoi a caanawk khoek to pazui han paek ih dungzan ah kaom zaehhoihhaih daan ah oh.

8 And you shall say to them: The man of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn with you, who offers a holocaust or a victim,

Nihcae khae ih, Mi kawbaktih Israel kami doeh, nihcae khaeah kaom angvinnawk doeh, hmai angbawnhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe paek han ih hmuen maw a sin o naah,

9 and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be offered to the Lord, shall pass away from his people.

amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, Angraeng khaeah sin o ai nahaeloe, to kami to angmah ih acaeng thung hoi pahnawt oh, tiah thui paeh.

10 Any man at all of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn among them, if he has eaten blood, I will harden my face against his soul, and I will drive him from his people.

Israel imthung takoh mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nihcae salakah kaom angvinnawk mah maw, athii to caa o nahaeloe, athii caa kami to mikhmai ka set thuih moe, angmah ih acaeng thung hoiah pahnawt sut han.

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you, so that you may atone with it upon the altar for your souls, and so that the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

Taksa hinghaih loe athii thungah oh; na sak o ih zaehaih to tahmen moe, na hing o thai hanah, to athii to hmaicam nuiah ka paek boeh; hae loe kami hing hanah zae angbawnhaih athii ah oh.

12 For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel: No soul among you shall eat blood, nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

To pongah Israel kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae thung ih mi kawbaktih doeh athii to caa o hmah; nangcae salakah kaom angvin mah doeh athii to caak han om ai, tiah ka thuih boeh.

13 Any man at all from the sons of Israel, or from the newcomers who sojourn with you, whether by hunting or bird-catching, if he seizes a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood and cover the earth with it.

Israel kami mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae salakah kaom angvin mah maw, moi zoep naah moi maw, tavaa maw naeh nahaeloe, athii pathok moe, athii to maiphu hoi aphum pacoengah ni, caak han oh.

14 For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore, I said to the sons of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

Athii loe taksa boih hinghaih ah oh; to pongah, Nangcae loe kawbaktih moi thii doeh caa o hmah, tiah Israel kaminawk khaeah ka thuih boeh; taksa boih hinghaih loe athii ah oh pongah, athii caa kami loe, pahnawt sut ah om tih.

15 The soul who eats what has died on its own, or what has been caught by a beast, whether he is native born or a newcomer, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and he shall be contaminated until evening. And by this means he shall be made clean.

Angmah koeh kadueh moi, moi kasan mah kaek ih moi caa kami, prae thung ih kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin doeh, a khukbuen to pasuk moe, tui amhluk han oh; anih loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; tui amhluk pacoengah ni ciim vop tih.

16 But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.

Toe a khukbuen to pasuk ai moe, tui doeh amhluh ai nahaeloe, to kami loe a zaehaih tho to hnu tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
