Leviticus 21
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
BOEIPA. loh Moses te a voek tih, “Aaron koca khosoih te voek lamtah thui pah. Amihloh a hinglu te a pilnam taengah poeih boel saeh.
2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
amah pumsa, amah huiko rhep ham, a manu ham, a napa ham, a capa ham, a canu ham, a manuca ham,
3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
a ngannu a va om pawttih anih dongah oila la aka hangdang ham atah poeih uh mai saeh.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Amah aka poeih ham a pilnam khuikah boei nen khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
5 “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
A lu te lungawng la kuet rhoe kuet uh boel saeh. A baengpae neh a baengki khaw vo uh boel saeh. A pumsa te a boenah neh boe uh boel saeh.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
A Pathen ham a cim la om uh saeh lamtah a Pathen mingte poeih uh boel saeh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah, Pathen kah buh aka nawn amih khaw a cim la om uh saeh.
7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
Pumyoi neh huta rhongte lo uh boel saeh. A va aka ma huta khaw lo uh boel saeh. Te dongah a Pathen ham a cim la om saeh.
8 Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
Khosoih long tah na Pathen kah buh a nawn dongah amahte ciim uh saeh. Nangmih aka ciim BOEIPA kamah he ka cim dongah khosoih khaw nang taengah a cim la om saeh.
9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
Khosoih tongpa kah a canu khaw a cuk a halh loh a poeih atah a napa ni a poeih. Te dongah anihte hmai neh hoeh uh saeh.
10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
A manucakhui lamkah a lu dongah koelhnah situi a suep pah tih himbai bai ham a kut a tloeng thil khosoih a ham long tah a lu dongkah lupong te dul boel saeh lamtah a himbaite phen boel saeh.
11 He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
Aka duek hinglu boeih taengah khaw cet boel saeh. A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw poeih uh boel saeh.
12 He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
Rhokso lamkah khaw nong boel saeh. Anih soah a Pathen kah koelhnah situi rhuisam a om coeng dongah a Pathen kah rhokso te poeih boel saeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
A yuu khaw a cuemnah neh lo saeh.
14 He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
Nuhmai, vama, pumyoi hlang rhong khaw lo boel saeh. A pilnam khuikah oila bueng te a yuu la lo saeh.
15 He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
Anihte BOEIPA kamah loh ka ciim coeng dongah a pilnam khuikah a tii a ngan long khaw poeih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA. loh Moses a voek tih,
17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
“Aaron te voek lamtah a cadilcahma ham khaw, 'Na tii na ngan taengah rhip thui pah,’ ti nah. U khaw a pum dongah a lolhmaih a om atah a Pathen kah buh aka nawn ham ha moe boel saeh.
18 For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
A pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om hlang boeih, mikdael neh aka khaem khaw, a sa aka vawt neh a sa aka hoei hlang khaw,
19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
A pum dongah kut tlawt, kho tlawt aka om hlang te khaw,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
tingkhun khaw, merheh khaw, mik haeh khaw, phaikawk neh vinhna khaw, til hi khaw ha mop boel saeh.
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Khosoih Aaron tiingan khuikah hlang khat khat te a pum dongah a lolh a maih atah BOEIPA kah hmaihlutnah nawn ham ha mop boel saeh. A Pathen kah buh te nawn ham ha mop boel saeh.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
A Pathen kah buh tah a cim uet ah cim tih aka cim van loh ca saeh.
23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
Te dongah a pum dongah a lolh a maih aka om loh hniyan khuila kun boel saeh lamtah hmueihtuk taengla mop boel saeh. Te daengah ni ka rhokso te a poeih pawt eh. Amihte BOEIPA kamah long ni ka ciim,” a ti nah.
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Te dongah Moses. loh Aaron neh anih kocarhoek taengah, Israel ca boeih taengah a thui pah.
