Leviticus 17
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh has commanded:
“Aaron, anih koca rhoek neh Israel ca rhoek boeih te voek lamtah thui ham koi tah, BOEIPA kah a uen bangla olka he amih taengah thui pah.
3 If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
Israel imkhui lamkah hlang khat khat loh vaito mai khaw, tuca mai khaw, maae mai khaw rhaehhmuen ah a ngawn tih rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah khaw a ngawn mai ni.
4 If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my people.
Te vaengah BOEIPA dungtlungim hmai kah BOEIPA taengah nawnnah la nawn ham tingtunnah dap thohka ah khuen boel saeh. Tekah hlang te thii aka long sak la poek saeh. Thii a long sak coeng dongah tekah hlang te a pilnam khui lamkah hnawt saeh.
5 That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
Kohong khaepdan ah a nawn hmueih te khaw Israel ca rhoek loh hang khuen ngawn saeh. Te vaengah tingtunnah dap thohka kah BOEIPA taeng neh khosoih taengah khuen uh saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengah rhoepnah hmueih la nawn uh saeh.
6 [After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
Te vaengah thii te tingtunnah dap thohka kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk dongah khosoih loh haeh saeh. Te phoeiah maehtha te BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui la phum saeh.
7 You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
Tedae amih loh a taengah a cukhalh puei uh maae taengah amamih kah hmueih koep nawn uh boel saeh. He tah amamih ham neh a cadilcahma ham khaw kumhal khosing la om saeh.
8 “And tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other sacrifice,
Te phoeiah Israel imkhui kah hlang boeih neh amih lakli kah aka bakuep tih hmueihhlutnah hmueih aka nawn yinlai khaw thui pah.
9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
BOEIPA taengah nawn ham kangna khaw tingtunnah dap thohka la a khuen pawt atah tekah hlang te a pilnam lamkah hnawt saeh.
10 ‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Israel imkhui lamkah hlang khat khat long khaw, amih lakli kah aka bakuep yinlai lamkah long khaw thii khat khat ni a caak atah ka hmai ka khueh thil ni. Thii aka ca hinglu te pilnam khui lamloh ka hnawt ni.
11 That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
Ba dongah tikoinih pumsa kah hinglu he thii dongah om. Te dongah nangmih kah hinglu ham hmueihtuk soah na dawth uh vaengah hinglu thii la dawth ham ni kai loh nangmih taengah kam paek.
12 That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also not eat blood.
Te dongah, 'Israel ca rhoek nangmih lamkah hinglu boeih loh thii ca uh boel lamtah, nangmih lakli kah aka bakuep yinlai long khaw thii te ca boel saeh,’ ka ti.
13 ‘Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood with dirt.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah hlang khat khat long mai khaw, amih lakli kah aka bakuep yinlai long mai mulhing saa neh vaa te a yuep tih a caak oeh atah a thii te ci saeh lamtah laipi neh vuei saeh.
14 This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
Pumsa boeih kah hinglu tah a thii dongah om tih a thii khaw a hinglu dongah om. Te dongah, 'Pumsa khat khat kah a thii tah ca uh boeh. Pumsa boeih kah hinglu a thii aka ca boeih tah hnawt saeh,’ tila Israel ca rhoek taengah ka thui.
15 ‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
Te phoeiah tolrhum mupoe neh yinlai khuikah hinglu boeih loh maehrhok neh saha te a caak atah a himbai te suk saeh lamtah tui hlu saeh. Kholaeh due aka poeih uh la om saeh lamtah caihcil saeh.
16 If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
Tedae himbai te suk pawt tih a pum te a silh pawt atah amah kathaesainah te amah loh phuei van saeh,” a ti nah.
