Leviticus 16
1 After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
Aron e capa roi ni BAWIPA hmalah thuengnae a sak teh a due roi hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a dei pouh e teh,
2 He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
Na hmau Aron ni a due hoeh nahanelah, hmuen kathoung dawk thingkong van, lungmanae tungkhung hmalah nâtuek hai kâen sak hanh. Kai teh thingkong van, lungmanae tungkhung hmalah tâmai dawk hoi ka kamnue han.
3 “When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
Aron ni lukkarei hmuen kathoung thung bangtelah hoi maw a kâen han tetpawiteh, yon thueng nahanelah, a kum kanaw e maitotan buet touh, hmaisawi thueng nahanelah tutan buet touh a thokhai han.
4 Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
Kathounge lukkarei angki hoi hna a khohna vaiteh lukkarei taisawm a kâyeng han. Lukkarei lupawk hai a pawk han. Hote khohnanaw teh a thoung dawkvah, tui a kamhluk hnukkhu a khohna han.
5 The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
Isarel miphun tamimaya naw koe e, yon thueng nahanelah hmaeca kahni touh, hmaisawi thueng nahanelah tu buet touh a la han.
6 “Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
Aron ni amae yon thueng nahanelah maito a thueng vaiteh, ama hoi a imthungkhunaw hanelah yonthanae a sak han.
7 Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Hmae kahni touh hai a thokhai vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe, Cathut hmalah a poe han.
8 He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
Aron ni hmae kahni touh hane kong dawk cungpam a rayu han. Buet touh e Cathut hanelah a rayu vaiteh, bout touh e teh kahrawngum tha hanelah a rayu han.
9 Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
Cathut e cungpam lah a rayu e hmae teh Aron ni a la vaiteh yon thueng nahanelah a thueng han.
10 Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
Tha hanelah cungpam a rayu e hmae teh a hring lahoi Cathut hmalah a poe vaiteh, a lathueng yonthanae a sak hnukkhu, kahrawngum a nganae koe a tha han.
11 “Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
Aron ni amae yon thueng nahanelah maito a thokhai hnukkhu, ama hoi a imthungkhunaw hanelah yonthanae a sak vaiteh, amae yon thuengnae maito a thei han.
12 Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
Cathut hmalah khoungroe hmaisaan hoi kakawi e tongben buet touh a la vaiteh, kanui lah phawm e hmuitui kutvang touh hoi, lukkarei yap e athunglah kâenkhai han.
13 There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
Aron ni duenae dawk hoi a hlout nahanelah hmuitui e hmaikhu ni lawkpanuesaknae thingkong khuem hmuitui sak hanelah BAWIPA hmalah hmuitui van a phuen han.
14 Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
Maito thi youn touh a la vaiteh, Kanîtholah thingkong khuem van a kutdawn hoi a kahei han. Thingkong khuem a hmalah hai vai sari touh a kutdawn hoi a kahei han.
15 [“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
Hathnukkhu, taminaw hanelah yon thuengnae hmae a thei vaiteh, a thi hah lukkarei yap e athunglah a kâenkhai hnukkhu, maito thi a kahei e patetlah thingkong khuem van thoseh, a hmalah hai thoseh, a kahei han.
16 By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
Isarel miphunnaw e thounghoehnae yon dawk thoseh, kâtapoenae yon pueng dawk thoseh, hmuen kathoung hanelah yonthanae a sak han. Hottelah, Isarel miphunnaw thounghoehnaw yon thung kaawm e naw kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hanelah a sak han.
17 When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
Hmuen kathoung koe yonthanae sak hanelah, a kâen nah, ama hanelah a imthungnaw hanelah, Isarel miphun abuemlah hanelah, yonthanae a sak teh, a tâco hoehroukrak kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thung apihai awm mahoeh.
18 “Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
BAWIPA hmalah khoungroe koe bout a tâco vaiteh, yonthanae a sak hanelah, maito thi, hmae thi, a la vaiteh khoungroe kinaw dawk a hlun han.
19 Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
Thuengnae khoungroe van hai hote thi hah a kutdawn hoi vai sari touh a kahei vaiteh, Isarel miphunnaw e thounghoehnae a thoung sak han.
20 “When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
Hottelah, hmuen kathoung hanelah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hanelah, khoungroe hanelah, yonthanae a sak hnukkhu, hmae a hring lah a thokhai han.
21 He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
Aron ni kahring e hmae lû van a kut kahni touh hoi a toung vaiteh, Isarel miphunnaw e yonnae naw hoi a sakpayonnae pueng yonpâpho vaiteh, hmae lû van a toung pouh hnukkhu, a rawi e tami buet touh ni kahrawngum a ceikhai han.
22 [It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
Ahnimae yonnae pueng tami ohoehnae hmuen koe ka cetkhai e hote hmae hah kahrawngum a tha han.
23 “When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
Aron ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thung bout a kâen vaiteh, hmuen kathoung koe apasuek a kâen navah, a kho e loukloukkaang e khohna a kho e hah a rading vaiteh, hmuen kathoung koe a ta han.
24 Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
Hmuen kathoung koe tui a kamhluk vaiteh amae khohna a khohna hnukkhu, bout a tâco vaiteh, Ama hoi taminaw hanelah hmaisawi thuengnae sathei hah a thueng vaiteh, Ama hoi ayânaw hanelah yonthanae a sak han.
25 He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
Yon thuengnae sathei thaw teh khoungroe van vah hmai a sawi han.
26 “The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
Kahrawngum hmae ka tha e tami hai amae khohna a pâsu vaiteh tui a kamhluk hnukkhu, a onae rim dawk bout a kâen han.
27 The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
Yon thuengnae maito hoi yon thuengnae hmae thi yonthanae sak hanelah hmuen kathoung koe kâenkhai e hah rim alawilah a ceikhai han. A pho, a moi, hoi a ei hah hmaisawi han.
28 The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
Hmai ka sawi e tami hai amae khohna a pâsu vaiteh, tui a kamhluk han. Hathnukkhu, roenae rim koe a cei han.
29 “On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
Nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hane phung teh Isarelnaw thoseh, nangmouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw thoseh, Asari e thapa, hnin hra hnin vah, thaw na tawk awh mahoeh. Na kâhat awh han.
30 On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hmalah nangmanaw yonnae pueng dawk hoi na thoung awh nahanelah, hote hnin dawk vaihma ni nangmouh na thoung a nahanelah yonthanae a sak han.
31 That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
Hote hnin teh nangmouh na kâhat nahanelah sabbath hnin lah ao dawkvah duem na kâhat awh han.
32 In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
A na pa e yueng lah vaihma thaw ka tawk hanelah, apasueke vaihma kut dawk hoi satui awi lah kaawm e tami ni yonthanae a sak han. Hote vaihma teh kathounge lukkarei khohna a khohna han.
33 and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
Hmuen kathoung hanelah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hanelah, khoungroe hanelah, vaihmanaw hanelah, tami pueng hanelah yonthanae a sak han.
34 This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
Hete phung teh Isarel miphunnaw ni a yonnae kaawm pueng dawk, kum touh dawk vai touh, yonthanae sak hanelah, nangmouh ni pou na tarawi a hanelah, kâpoe e lah ao telah Cathut ni Mosi koe lawkthui e patetlah Aron ni a sak.
