Numbers 19
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron hah a pato teh,
2 “I am now giving to you another regulation. Tell the Israeli people to bring to you one reddish-brown cow that has no defects. It must be an animal that (has never been/no one has ever) used for plowing ground.
hethateh, BAWIPA kâlawk poe e phunglam kâlawk doeh. Isarel catounnaw hah maitola ka paling e kacuem e a laphu thueng pouh hoeh e, thokhai hanlah dei pouh.
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
Rapan hloilah ceikhai vaiteh, a hmalah thei thai nahanlah vaihma Eleazar koevah na poe han.
4 He must dip one of his fingers in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times [on the ground] near the Sacred Tent.
Vaihma Eleazar ni a kutcarei hoi thipaling youn touh a la vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah, vai sari touh paloupalou a kathek han.
5 Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
Hottelah maitola teh a pho, a moi, a thi hoi a ei hai a mithmu vah hmaisawi han.
6 Eliezer then must take a stick of cedar wood, a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop, and some scarlet/red yarn, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning.
Vaihma ni sidar thing hoi dingsala hoi langsan a la vaiteh, maitola hmaisawinae koe a tâkhawng han.
7 “Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After doing that, he may return to the camp. But he will be unfit for doing any sacred work until that evening.
Vaihma ni a khohna a pâsu vaiteh, tui a kamhluk han. Hahoi roenae hmuen koe a cei han, tangmin totouh vaihma teh a khin han.
8 The man who burns the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be unacceptable to me until that evening.
Hmai kasawikung ni hai amae khohna a pâsu vaiteh tui a kamhluk han, tangmin totouh a khin han.
9 “Then someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a (sacred place/place that is acceptable to me) outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to [use when they] mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.
Kathounge ni maitola hraba hah a kawn vai teh, rapan hloilah thoungnae hmuen koe a ta vaiteh, Isarel catounnaw, tamimaya hanlah kamthoungnae tui dawk a hno han, hethateh yon thung hoi thoungnae doeh.
10 The man who gathers up the ashes of the cow must [also] wash his clothes, and he [also] will be unfit to do any more sacred work until that evening. That is a regulation that will never be changed. It must be obeyed by you Israeli people and by any foreigners who live among you.
Hahoi maitola hraba kakawnkung teh, a khohna a pâsu vaiteh, tangmin totouh a khin han. Hethateh Isarel catounnaw hoi ahnimouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw hanlah a yungyoe phunglam lah ao han.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Bangpatetlae tami ro nakunghai katekkung teh hnin sari touh thung a khin han rah.
12 On the third day and on the seventh day [after touching a corpse], in order to become acceptable to me again, [they must have sprinkled on them] some of that water for removing the guilt of their sin. If they do not do that on both of those days, they will continue to be unacceptable to me.
Hahoi tami teh hnin thum hnin vah hraba hoi a kamthoung vaiteh, hnin sari hnin vah a thoung han. Apâthum hnin kamthoung hoehpawiteh, asari hnin totouh a khin han.
13 All those who touch a corpse, and do not perform in the correct way the ritual to become acceptable to me again, defile Yahweh’s Sacred Tent. They will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people. The water to remove the guilt of sin was not sprinkled on them, so they continue to be unacceptable to me.
Tami bangpatet ni hai Bangpatete tami ro hai a tek awh teh kamthoung awh hoehpawiteh, BAWIPA lukkareiim kakhinsakkung lah ao teh, hote tami teh Isarel taminaw thung dawk hoi hnoun e lah ao han. Kamthoungnae tui ahnimouh koe kathek sin lah ao hoeh dawkvah, a khin han. A khinnae hah ahnimouh koe ao rah.
14 “There is another ritual that must be performed when someone dies inside a tent. All those who were inside that tent when that person died or who enter that tent will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Tami buet touh lukkareiim dawk dout pawiteh, hetheh kâlawk lah ao han. Lukkareiim dawk kâen e pueng teh lukkareiim dawk kaawm e pueng hnin sari touh thung a khin han.
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
Hahoi hlaam a khuem kâkhuem hoeh e puenghai a khin han.
16 If someone who is out in a field touches the corpse of someone who was murdered, or who died from natural causes, or if someone touches a bone from some human or touches a grave, that person will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Hahoi tami bangpatet ni law vah, tahloi hoi a thei awh e thoseh, ao navah kadout e ro thoseh, tami kadout e hru thoseh, tangkom dawk thoseh, tek pawiteh hnin sari touh a khin han.
17 “For someone like that to become acceptable to me again, some of the ashes from [the cow] that was burned must be taken and put in a jar. Then some fresh water must be poured over the ashes.
Hahoi kathoung hoeh naw hanlah, yon thoung nahanlah hmaisawi e, maitola hraba teh a la vaiteh, amamae tongben dawk, ka lawng e tui a ta awh han.
18 Then someone who is still acceptable to me must take a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop and dip it into the water. Then that person must sprinkle some of the water on the tent where that person died, on the things that are in the tent, and on the people who were in the tent. He must also sprinkle some of that water on any person who touched a human bone or who touched a person who died, or who touched a grave.
Hahoi kathounge ni dingsala a la vaiteh, tui dawk a padung han. Hahoi lukkareiim hlaamnaw pueng hai haw e kaawmnaw pueng hraba thoseh, ka tek e pueng teh be a kahei sin han.
19 On the third day and on the seventh day after that, the person who is acceptable to me must sprinkle some of that water on those who have become unacceptable to me. On the seventh day, the people who are performing that ritual to become acceptable to me again must wash their clothes and bathe. If they do that, on that evening they will become acceptable to me again.
Hahoi kathounge naw ni apâthum hnin hoi asari hnin vah kathoung hoeh pueng a kahei sin han, a khohna a pâsu hoi tui a kamhluk vaiteh tangmin lah teh a thoung han.
20 “If those who have become unacceptable to me do not become acceptable to me again by doing this, they will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people, because they have defiled my Sacred Tent. They did not sprinkle on themselves the water that removes the guilt of their sins, so they remain unacceptable to me.
Hatei kakhin e ka kamthoung hoeh e niteh, BAWIPA e hmuen kathoung a khin sak dawkvah, hote tami teh kamkhueng e tamihu thung hoi takhoe e lah ao han. Kamthoungnae tui hah ahni koe kahei sin lah ao hoeh dawkvah, kakhin e lah ao.
21 That is a law for the Israeli people that will never be changed. Those who sprinkle that water on themselves must then wash their clothes. And anyone who touches that water which removes guilt for sins will remain unacceptable to God until that evening.
Hetheh ahnimouh han a yungyoe phunglam lah ao han. Kamthoungnae tui kahei sin e pueng ni a khohna a pâsu han, hahoi a kamthoungnae tui kateknaw pueng teh tangmin totouh a khin han.
22 “If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
Kathounghoehe naw ni a tek e pueng teh kakhin e lah awm toung vaiteh, hot hno kateknaw pueng teh, tangmin totouh a khin han, telah a ti.
