Leviticus 21
1 The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih, “Aaron koca khosoih te voek lamtah thui pah. Amih loh a hinglu te a pilnam taengah poeih boel saeh.
2 But only for his kin, such as are near in blood, that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also,
amah pumsa, amah huiko rhep ham, a manu ham, a napa ham, a capa ham, a canu ham, a manuca ham,
3 And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband:
a ngannu a va om pawt tih anih dongah oila la aka hangdang ham atah poeih uh mai saeh.
4 But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
Amah aka poeih ham a pilnam khuikah boei nen khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
5 Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
A lu te lungawng la kuet rhoe kuet uh boel saeh. A baengpae neh a baengki khaw vo uh boel saeh. A pumsa te a boenah neh boe uh boel saeh.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name: for they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God, and therefore they shall be holy.
A Pathen ham a cim la om uh saeh lamtah a Pathen ming te poeih uh boel saeh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah, Pathen kah buh aka nawn amih khaw a cim la om uh saeh.
7 They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
Pumyoi neh huta rhong te lo uh boel saeh. A va aka ma huta khaw lo uh boel saeh. Te dongah a Pathen ham a cim la om saeh.
8 And offer the leaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy, because I also am holy, the Lord, who sanctify them.
Khosoih long tah na Pathen kah buh a nawn dongah amah te ciim uh saeh. Nangmih aka ciim BOEIPA kamah he ka cim dongah khosoih khaw nang taengah a cim la om saeh.
9 If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom, and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
Khosoih tongpa kah a canu khaw a cuk a halh loh a poeih atah a napa ni a poeih. Te dongah anih te hmai neh hoeh uh saeh.
10 The high priest, that is to say, the priest, is the greatest among his brethren. upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who hath been vested with the holy vestments, shall not uncover his head, he shall not rend his garments:
A manuca khui lamkah a lu dongah koelhnah situi a suep pah tih himbai bai ham a kut a tloeng thil khosoih a ham long tah a lu dongkah lupong te dul boel saeh lamtah a himbai te phen boel saeh.
11 Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled:
Aka duek hinglu boeih taengah khaw cet boel saeh. A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
12 Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord, because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
Rhokso lamkah khaw nong boel saeh. Anih soah a Pathen kah koelhnah situi rhuisam a om coeng dongah a Pathen kah rhokso te poeih boel saeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
13 He shall take a virgin unto his wife:
A yuu khaw a cuemnah neh lo saeh.
14 But a widow or one that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of his own people:
Nuhmai, vama, pumyoi hlang rhong khaw lo boel saeh. A pilnam khuikah oila bueng te a yuu la lo saeh.
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
Anih te BOEIPA kamah loh ka ciim coeng dongah a pilnam khuikah a tii a ngan long khaw poeih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses a voek tih,
17 Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
“Aaron te voek lamtah a cadilcahma ham khaw, 'Na tii na ngan taengah rhip thui pah,’ ti nah. U khaw a pum dongah a lolhmaih a om atah a Pathen kah buh aka nawn ham ha moe boel saeh.
18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
A pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om hlang boeih, mikdael neh aka khaem khaw, a sa aka vawt neh a sa aka hoei hlang khaw,
19 If his foot, or if his hand be broken,
A pum dongah kut tlawt, kho tlawt aka om hlang te khaw,
20 If he be crookbacked, or blear eyed, or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture:
tingkhun khaw, merheh khaw, mik haeh khaw, phaikawk neh vinhna khaw, til hi khaw ha mop boel saeh.
21 Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish, he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
Khosoih Aaron tiingan khuikah hlang khat khat te a pum dongah a lolh a maih atah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah nawn ham ha mop boel saeh. A Pathen kah buh te nawn ham ha mop boel saeh.
22 He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that are offered in the sanctuary,
A Pathen kah buh tah a cim uet ah cim tih aka cim van loh ca saeh.
23 Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar, because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
Te dongah a pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om loh hniyan khuila kun boel saeh lamtah hmueihtuk taengla mop boel saeh. Te daengah ni ka rhokso te a poeih pawt eh. Amih te BOEIPA kamah long ni ka ciim,” a ti nah.
24 Moses therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
Te dongah Moses loh Aaron neh anih koca rhoek taengah, Israel ca boeih taengah a thui pah.
