Leviticus 21
1 AND the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for 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 for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
Hateiteh, kahnai poung e manu napa, canaw, hmaunawngha,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
Vâ ka tawn hoeh rae na tawncanu hanelah, khin thainae kâ a tawn.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Na tami khobawinaw hanelah kâkhinsak hanelah awm hoeh.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Vaihma teh lû hoi pâkhamuen ngaw mahoeh. Atak hai kâbouk mahoeh.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
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 a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto 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 sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctify 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 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall 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 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend 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 go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Ro koe cet hanh naseh. A manu hoi a na pa hanelah kathounghoehe lah awm hanh naseh.
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon 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 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Tanglakacuem duengdoeh a yu lah a la han.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own 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 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify 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 unto Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Aron koe bout na dei pouh hane teh,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach 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 whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Mitdawn, khokkhem, a hnawng ka uek e, a kutkhok hloi kasaw e taminaw,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
kut ka lawt e, a khok ka lawt e,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
Hnamkhun, rahnoum, mitmawm, raipha, ngavangrawca, yangmukhe e taminaw teh bawk mahoeh.
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh 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 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Kathounge vaiyei thoseh, kathoungpounge vaiyei thoseh, amae Cathut e vaiyei teh a ca han.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify 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 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Hottelah, Mosi ni Aron hoi capanaw, Isarel miphunnaw pueng koe patuen a dei pouh.
