< Leviticus 23 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2 “Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
Israel kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng ih poih ninawk, Kai ih hae poih ninawk loe, kaciim amkhuenghaih niah oh, tiah taphong ah.
3 “You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
Ni tarukto thung toksah oh; toe ni sarihto ni loe anghakhaih Sabbath niah oh, kaciim amkhuenghaih niah oh pongah, tih tok doeh sah o hmah; na oh o haih ahmuen boih loe Angraeng ih Sabbath niah oh.
4 “There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
Atue phak naah nangcae mah taphong han ih, kaciim amkhuenghaih hoi Angraeng ih poih ninawk loe,
5 [The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
khrah tangsuek, ni hatlai palito na ni, duembang loe Angraeng loihhaih niah oh.
6 The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
To ih akhrah hatlai pangato haih ni loe, taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoiah Angraeng khaeah sak ih poih ah oh; ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa oh.
7 On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
Ni hmaloe koek ah toksah ai, kaciim amkhuenghaih to sah oh.
8 On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
Ni sarihto thung Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sah oh; sarihto ni loe kaciim amkhuenghaih niah oh pongah, toksah o hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
9 Yahweh also told Moses/me
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
10 to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; kang paek ih prae thungah na kun o moe, cang na aah o naah, na aah o tangsuek ih cangqui to qaima khaeah sin oh.
11 On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
Na paek ih hmuen to talawk hanah, qaima mah cangqui to Angraeng hmaa ah ahaek tih, qaima mah Sabbath ni pacoeng, khawnbang ah ahaek tih.
12 That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
Cangqui to ahaek moe, na paekhaih niah, coek koi kaom ai saningto kaom tuucaa hoiah Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih to sah oh.
13 You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
Cang hoi angbawnhaih sak naah, situi hoi atok tangcae kahoih takaw dip ephah hato thungah hnetto, Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah paek hanah, hmai angbawnhaih to sah ah; naek koi paek hanah misurtui hint palito thungah maeto paek ah.
14 Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
Na Sithaw khaeah paekhaih ni pha ai karoek to, takaw maw, to tih ai boeh loe haek ih cang maw, to tih ai boeh loe aan kahingnawk to caa o hmah; hae loe na oh o haih ahmuen kruek ah, angzo han koi na caanawk khaeah dungzan ah paek ih lok ah oh.
15 “Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
Ahaek moe, paek koi cangqui sinhaih ni, Sabbath ni pacoeng, khawnbang ni hoi kamtong, Sabbath ni sarihto kroek ah.
16 on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
Sabbath ni pacoeng, khawnbang hoi kamtong, ni qui pangato kroek pacoengah, Angraeng khaeah cang kangtha to paek ah.
17 From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
Angraeng hanah athai tangsuek thingthai, taeh hoi abaeh ih kahoih takaw ephah hato thungah hnetto, ahaek moe, paek koi takaw kae hnetto ah sah ah loe, nangmacae im hoiah sin oh.
18 Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
To takaw hoi nawnto coek koi kaom ai, saningto kaom tuucaa sarihto, saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto, tuu tae hnetto paek oh; Angraeng khaeah paek hanah hmai hoi thlaek ih hmuihoih, takaw angbawnhaih hoi naek koi angbawnhaih loe, Angraeng hmaa ah sak ih hmai angbawnhaih ah oh.
19 Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
To pacoengah zae angbawnhaih sak hanah maeh caa maeto, angdaeh angbawnhaih sak hanah, saningto kaom, tuucaa hnetto paek ah.
20 The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
Qaima mah Angraeng hmaa ah tuucaa hnetto, athai tangsuek thingthai hoi sak ih takaw hoi nawnto ahaek ueloe, ahaek angbawnhaih to sah tih; to tiah paek ih hmuen loe qaima han, Angraeng hmaa ah kaciim hmuen paekhaih ah oh.
21 On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
To na niah karai tok to sah o hmah, kaciim amkhuenghaih ni, tiah taphong oh; na oh o haih ahmuen kruekah, hae loe angzo han koi na caanawk hanah, dungzan ah paek ih lok ah oh.
22 “When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
Na prae thung ih cang na aah o naah, lawk taki ah kaom cangnawk to aat o boih hmah, cangqui doeh anghmat ai ah akhui o boih hmah; kamtang hoi angvinnawk hanah caeh o taak ah; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
23 Yahweh also told Moses/me
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
24 to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; Khrah sarihto haih, ni hmaloe koek loe, Sabbath ni, mongkah uenghaih ni hoi kaciim amkhuenghaih niah suem oh.
25 All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
Karai tok to sah o hmah; toe Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sah oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
27 “You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
Khrah sarihto haih, ni hato naah loe, nangcae han zae angbawnhaih ni, kaciim amkhuenghaih niah oh; nangmah hoi nangmah to poek kamtang ah om ah loe, Angraeng hmaa ah hmai angbawnhaih to sah ah.
28 You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
Na Angraeng na Sithaw hmaa ah, na zae angbawnhaih niah oh pongah, to na niah toksah hmah.
29 You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
To na niah angmah hoi angmah poekhaih kamtang ah om ai kami loe, angmah ih acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.
30 I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
To na niah toksah kami loe, kai mah angmah ih acaeng thung hoiah ka pahnawt han.
31 You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
To na niah loe kawbaktih tok doeh sah hmah; na oh o haih ahmuen kruekah, hae loe angzo han koi na caanawk hanah, dungzan ah paek ih lok ah oh.
32 That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
To na ni loe anghakhaih Sabbath ni, nangmah hoi nangmah patangkhanghaih niah oh; to khrah ni takawtto haih, duembang hoi kamtong khawnbang aduem khoek to Sababth ni to zaa ah, tiah a naa.
33 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
34 “Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; Khrah sarihto haih, ni hatlai pangato hoi kamtong, ni sarihto thung loe Angraeng ih kahni im poih sakhaih niah om tih.
35 On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
Ni tangsuek loe kaciim amkhuenghaih niah oh pongah, karai tok to sah hmah.
36 On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
Ni sarihto thung Angraeng khaeah hmai hoi angbawnhaih to sah oh loe, ni tazetto naah kaciim amkhuenghaih to sah oh; Angraeng khaeah hmai hoi angbawnhaih to sah oh; to loe lensawk amkhuenghaih ah oh pongah, karai tok to sah o hmah.
37 “[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
Hae loe Angraeng ih poih niah oh moe, Angraeng khaeah hmai hoi sak ih angbawnhaih, hmai hoi angbawnhaih, cang hoi angbawnhaih, moi hoi angbawnhaih, naek koi hmuen hoi angbawnhaihnawk to na sak o hanah, kaciim amkhuenghaih ah taphong oh;
38 (Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
to pacoengah Angraeng ih Sabbath ni, tangqum paekhaih ni, lokkamhaih baktiah hmuen paekhaih ni, aimah palung angthawk baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah hmuen paekhaih niah oh.
39 “[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
Lawk thung ih thingthai qumponawk na pakhrik o pacoeng, khrah sarihto haih, ni hatlai pangato naah, ni sarihto thung Angraeng khaeah poih to sah oh; hmaloe koek ni loe Sabbath niah om ueloe, ni tazetto doeh Sabbath niah om tih.
40 But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
Ni hmaloe koek ah kahoih thingthai, thaankung tanghangnawk, kabuk thing tanghangnawk, tui taengah amzam akungnawk to la oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah, ni sarihto thung anghoe oh.
41 You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
Saning kruek ni sarihto thung Angraeng ih poih nito sah oh. Hae loe angzo han koi na caanawk khaeah, dungzan ah paek ih lok ah oh; to poih to ni sarihto naah sah oh.
42 During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
Nangcae loe ni sarihto thung im tetta pongah om oh; Israel prae thungah tapen kaminawk boih loe impoem ta thungah na oh o han oh;
43 That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
to naah ni kai mah Izip prae thung hoiah Israel kaminawk ka zaeh naah, impoem ta thungah ka ohsak, tito na caanawk mah panoek o tih; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
44 So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
To pongah Mosi mah, Angraeng mah thuih ih poih ninawk to Israel kaminawk khaeah taphong pae.
