Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Speake vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron, and say vnto them, Let none be defiled by the dead among his people,
Cathut ni Mosi koe, nang ni Aron capa, vaihmanaw koe bout na dei pouh hane teh, na miphunnaw duenae dawk apihai na kâkhinsak awh mahoeh.
2 But by his kinseman that is neere vnto him: to wit, by his mother, or by his father, or by his sonne, or by his daughter, or by his brother,
Hateiteh, kahnai poung e manu napa, canaw, hmaunawngha,
3 Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
Vâ ka tawn hoeh rae na tawncanu hanelah, khin thainae kâ a tawn.
4 He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
Na tami khobawinaw hanelah kâkhinsak hanelah awm hoeh.
5 They shall not make balde partes vpon their head, nor shaue off the locks of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Vaihma teh lû hoi pâkhamuen ngaw mahoeh. Atak hai kâbouk mahoeh.
6 They shalbe holy vnto their God, and not pollute the name of their God: for the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God they doe offer: therefore they shalbe holie.
Ahni teh amamae Cathut hanelah a thoung han. Na Cathut e min mathout sak awh hanh. Cathut e canei a thueng awh dawkvah, a thoung han.
7 They shall not take to wife an whore, or one polluted, neither shall they marrie a woman diuorced from her husband: for such one is holy vnto his God.
Ahni teh kâyawt e napui, a nuencang kahawihoehe napui, vâ hoi kamphei e napui hoi na kâyuva mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihma teh Cathut hanelah kâthoung e lah ao.
8 Thou shalt sanctifie him therefore, for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy vnto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctifie you, am holy.
Vaihma teh na Cathut e vaiyei ka poe e lah ao dawkvah, amahoima kâthoung naseh. Nangmouh na kathoung sak e Kai BAWIPA teh kathoung dawkvah, ahni hai nangmouh hanlah kâthoung naseh.
9 If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
Vaihma e canu ni amae tak a kâyo teh amahoima min mathoenae sak pawiteh, a na pa min kamathout sak e lah ao. Ahni teh hmai hoi sawi lah ao han.
10 Also ye hie Priest among his brethren, (vpon whose head the anointing oyle was powred, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments) shall not vncouer his head, nor rent his clothes,
Hmaunawngha thung dawk vaihma kacue lah rawi teh, a lû dawk satui awi lah kaawm e teh, a khohna ravek hanh naseh. A lû dawk e lupawk rading hanh naseh.
11 Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
Ro koe cet hanh naseh. A manu hoi a na pa hanelah kathounghoehe lah awm hanh naseh.
12 Neither shall he goe out of the Sanctuarie, nor pollute the holy place of his God: for the crowne of the anoynting oyle of his God is vpon him: I am the Lord.
Hmuen kathoung koehoi tâcawt mahoeh. Amae Cathut e hmuen kathoung khin sak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amae Cathut ni rawinae satui ahni dawk ao toe. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.
13 Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
Tanglakacuem duengdoeh a yu lah a la han.
14 But a widowe, or a diuorced woman, or a polluted, or an harlot, these shall he not marrie, but shall take a maide of his owne people to wife:
Lahmai thoseh, Ma e napui thoseh, Min mathoe ka phawt e napui thoseh, kâyawt e napui thoseh, yu lah lat mahoeh. A miphun dawk e tanglakacuem dueng hah a la han.
15 Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
Amae capa hah a taminaw koe min mathout sak mahoeh. Kai Cathut teh ahnimanaw kathoung sak e doeh telah ati.
16 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Aron koe bout na dei pouh hane teh,
17 Speake vnto Aaron, and say, Whosoeuer of thy seede in their generations hath any blemishes, shall not prease to offer the bread of his God:
Na miphunnaw, catounnaw dawk yon ka tawn e tami teh vaiyei thueng hanelah tho hanh naseh.
18 For whosoeuer hath any blemish, shall not come neere: as a man blinde or lame, or that hath a flat nose, or that hath any misshapen member,
Mitdawn, khokkhem, a hnawng ka uek e, a kutkhok hloi kasaw e taminaw,
19 Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
kut ka lawt e, a khok ka lawt e,
20 Or is crooke backt, or bleare eyed, or hath a blemish in his eye, or be skiruie, or skabbed, or haue his stones broken.
Hnamkhun, rahnoum, mitmawm, raipha, ngavangrawca, yangmukhe e taminaw teh bawk mahoeh.
21 None of the seede of Aaron the Priest that hath a blemish, shall come neere to offer the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, hauing a blemish: he shall not prease to offer the bread of his God.
Vaihma Aron phun dawk e ka kuepcing hoeh e tami buet touh ni boehai hmaisawi thuengnae hah hnai mahoeh. Tak ka kuepcing hoeh e lah ao dawkvah, vaiyei poe hanelah hnai mahoeh.
22 The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
Kathounge vaiyei thoseh, kathoungpounge vaiyei thoseh, amae Cathut e vaiyei teh a ca han.
23 But he shall not goe in vnto the vaile, nor come neere the altar, because hee hath a blemish, least he pollute my Sanctuaries: for I am the Lord that sanctifie them.
Tak ka kuepcing hoeh dawkvah, hni yap e thung thoseh, thuengnae khoungroe thoseh, cet awh mahoeh. Telah hoehpawiteh, Kaie hmuen kathoung khin payon vaih. Kai BAWIPA ni hote hmuennaw teh kathoung sak toe ati.
24 Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
Hottelah, Mosi ni Aron hoi capanaw, Isarel miphunnaw pueng koe patuen a dei pouh.
