Leviticus 21
1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,
Cathut ni Mosi koe, nang ni Aron capa, vaihmanaw koe bout na dei pouh hane teh, na miphunnaw duenae dawk apihai na kâkhinsak awh mahoeh.
2 except for his relation who [is] near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
Hateiteh, kahnai poung e manu napa, canaw, hmaunawngha,
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.
Vâ ka tawn hoeh rae na tawncanu hanelah, khin thainae kâ a tawn.
4 'A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people — to pollute himself;
Na tami khobawinaw hanelah kâkhinsak hanelah awm hoeh.
5 they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;
Vaihma teh lû hoi pâkhamuen ngaw mahoeh. Atak hai kâbouk mahoeh.
6 they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
Ahni teh amamae Cathut hanelah a thoung han. Na Cathut e min mathout sak awh hanh. Cathut e canei a thueng awh dawkvah, a thoung han.
7 'A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;
Ahni teh kâyawt e napui, a nuencang kahawihoehe napui, vâ hoi kamphei e napui hoi na kâyuva mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihma teh Cathut hanelah kâthoung e lah ao.
8 and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.
Vaihma teh na Cathut e vaiyei ka poe e lah ao dawkvah, amahoima kâthoung naseh. Nangmouh na kathoung sak e Kai BAWIPA teh kathoung dawkvah, ahni hai nangmouh hanlah kâthoung naseh.
9 'And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring — her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.
Vaihma e canu ni amae tak a kâyo teh amahoima min mathoenae sak pawiteh, a na pa min kamathout sak e lah ao. Ahni teh hmai hoi sawi lah ao han.
10 'And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,
Hmaunawngha thung dawk vaihma kacue lah rawi teh, a lû dawk satui awi lah kaawm e teh, a khohna ravek hanh naseh. A lû dawk e lupawk rading hanh naseh.
11 nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;
Ro koe cet hanh naseh. A manu hoi a na pa hanelah kathounghoehe lah awm hanh naseh.
12 nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah.
Hmuen kathoung koehoi tâcawt mahoeh. Amae Cathut e hmuen kathoung khin sak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amae Cathut ni rawinae satui ahni dawk ao toe. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.
13 'And he taketh a wife in her virginity;
Tanglakacuem duengdoeh a yu lah a la han.
14 widow, or cast out, or polluted one — a harlot — these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,
Lahmai thoseh, Ma e napui thoseh, Min mathoe ka phawt e napui thoseh, kâyawt e napui thoseh, yu lah lat mahoeh. A miphun dawk e tanglakacuem dueng hah a la han.
15 and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.'
Amae capa hah a taminaw koe min mathout sak mahoeh. Kai Cathut teh ahnimanaw kathoung sak e doeh telah ati.
16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Aron koe bout na dei pouh hane teh,
17 'Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,
Na miphunnaw, catounnaw dawk yon ka tawn e tami teh vaiyei thueng hanelah tho hanh naseh.
18 for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near — a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,
Mitdawn, khokkhem, a hnawng ka uek e, a kutkhok hloi kasaw e taminaw,
19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
kut ka lawt e, a khok ka lawt e,
20 or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.
Hnamkhun, rahnoum, mitmawm, raipha, ngavangrawca, yangmukhe e taminaw teh bawk mahoeh.
21 'No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.
Vaihma Aron phun dawk e ka kuepcing hoeh e tami buet touh ni boehai hmaisawi thuengnae hah hnai mahoeh. Tak ka kuepcing hoeh e lah ao dawkvah, vaiyei poe hanelah hnai mahoeh.
22 'Bread of his God — of the most holy things, and of the holy things — he doth eat;
Kathounge vaiyei thoseh, kathoungpounge vaiyei thoseh, amae Cathut e vaiyei teh a ca han.
23 only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'
Tak ka kuepcing hoeh dawkvah, hni yap e thung thoseh, thuengnae khoungroe thoseh, cet awh mahoeh. Telah hoehpawiteh, Kaie hmuen kathoung khin payon vaih. Kai BAWIPA ni hote hmuennaw teh kathoung sak toe ati.
24 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
Hottelah, Mosi ni Aron hoi capanaw, Isarel miphunnaw pueng koe patuen a dei pouh.
