Leviticus 3

1 [“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.

Maito hoi roum thuengnae sak hanlah na ngai pawiteh, kacueme atan nakunghai ala nakunghai buetbuet touh BAWIPA koe na sin han.

2 You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

Maito lû van amae kut a toung vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang teng a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capa vaihmanaw ni khoungroe petkâtue lah a thi a kahei awh han.

3 From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—

A ruen ka ramuk e athaw, a ruen hoi kâkuen e athaw, patuen dawk kaawm e kuen kahni touh dawk e athaw,

4 the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

kuen hoi cungtalah thin van kaawm e maimaranaw hah, roum thuengnae sathei thung e la vaiteh, BAWIPA koe hmai hoi thueng hanelah poe hnukkhu,

5 Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

Aron e a capanaw ni khoungroe van ta e sathei hoi cungtalah hmai a sawi a han. Hetteh, BAWIPA koe hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae lah ao.

6 If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.

BAWIPA koe tu hoi hmae hah roum thuengnae sak han na ngai pawiteh, toun kaawm hoeh e atan nakunghai ala nakunghai buetbuet touh na sin han.

7 If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].

Tuca thuengnae lah sak han na ngai pawiteh BAWIPA hmalah na poe hnukkhu,

8 Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.

Tu e a lû van amae kut a toung vaiteh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capanaw ni thuengnae khoungroe van a thi petkâtue lah a kahei han.

9 You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—

Atak dawk e athaw, a kenghru tâtueng e, a moi abuemlah, a ruen ka ramuk e athaw, a ruen dawk e athaw,

10 the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

Patuen dawk kaawm e kuen kahni touh dawk e athaw, kuen hoi thin dawk e maimaranaw, roumnae sathei dawk e na la vaiteh BAWIPA koe thuengnae na sak hnukkhu,

11 One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh].

Vaihma ni khoungroe van hmai a sawi han. BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae sak e rawca katuilah ao.

12 ‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.

Hmae hoi thuengnae sak han na ngai pawiteh BAWIPA hmalah a thokhai han.

13 You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

Hmae lû dawk a kut toung vaiteh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah a thei hnukkhu, Aron e capanaw ni khoungroe petkâtue lah a thi hah a kahei han.

14 From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,

A ruen ka ramuk e athaw, a ruen dawk e athaw,

15 the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

Patuen dawk kaawm e kuen kahni touh hoi cungtalah athin dawk e maimaranaw, ama ni thuengnae dawk e a la vaiteh, BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae sak hanlah a poe hnukkhu,

16 The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat [of the animals that are sacrificed] belongs to Yahweh.

Vaihma ni khoungroe van hmai a sawi han. Hmuitui hanlah hmaisawi thuengnae lah ao. Athaw kaawm e pueng teh BAWIPA e lah doeh ao.

17 ‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”
