Bawknae 17

1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Nang ni Aron hoi a capa, Isarel miphunnaw koe bout na dei pouh han e teh,

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Tell them what Yahweh has commanded:

3 Isarel miphun dawk e tami buetbuet touh ni tu, hmae maito hah rim thung a thei nakunghai thoseh, rim alawilah a thei nakunghai thoseh,

'Any man from Israel who kills an ox, lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, in order to sacrifice it—

4 Cathut e lukkareiim hmalah, Cathut koe thuengnae sak hanelah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe thokhai hoehpawiteh, hote tami teh hringnae a thei dawk a yon telah pouk han. Thi ka palawng e hote tami teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.

if he does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a sacrifice to Yahweh before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man must be cut off from among his people.

5 Isarel miphunnaw ni kahrawng um vah thueng e satheinaw hah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang hmalah, Cathut koe vaihma hmalah a thokhai vaiteh, roum thuengnae a sak han.

The purpose of this command is so that the people of Israel will bring their sacrifices to Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest to be sacrificed as fellowship offerings to Yahweh, instead of offering sacrifices in an open field.

6 Vaihma ni hote sathei thi hah tamimaya kamkhuengnae takhang teng e khoungroe van a kahei vaiteh, athaw hai Cathut koe hmuitui hanlah hmai a sawi han.

The priest will sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting; he will burn the fat for it to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.

7 Ahnimouh ni apasueke a kâyo awh e patetlah hmalah kahraituilinaw koe thuengnae bout sak awh mahoeh. Hete kâlawk teh ahnimae miphun catounnaw ditouh a tarawi hane kâlawk lah ao.

The people must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat idols, for which they act as prostitutes. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their people's generations.'

8 Isarel miphun thoseh, nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke miphun thoseh, hmaisawi thuengnae hoehpawiteh, alouke sathei buetbuet touh, a thueng navah,

You must say to them, 'Any man of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice

9 BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak han navah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a thokhai hoehpawiteh, hote tami teh a miphun dawk hoi na takhoe awh han telah ahnimouh koe na dei pouh awh han.

and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting in order to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man must be cut off from his people.

10 Isarel miphunnaw na hoehpawiteh, nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke miphunnaw, buetbuet touh ni thi cat pawiteh, hote tami teh kai ni ka maithoe vaiteh a miphun dawk hoi ka takhoe han.

If any person of the house of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes blood and I will cut him off from among his people.

11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tak hringnae teh thi dawk doeh ao. Nangmae na sak e yontha nahanelah, hote thi hah nang koe thuengnae khoungroe van ka poe toe. Tami e yon katha thai e teh thi doeh.

For the life of an animal is in its blood. I have given its blood to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, because it is the blood that makes atonement, for it is the blood that atones for the life.

12 Hatdawkvah, nangmouh dawk apihai thi na cat awh mahoeh. Nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke miphunnaw hai thi cat awh mahoeh telah Isarel miphunnaw koe Kai ni kâ ka poe.

Therefore I said to the people of Israel that no one among you must eat blood, neither may any foreigner who lives among you eat blood.

13 Isarel miphunnaw hoehpawiteh nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke miphunnaw buetbuet touh ni a hrampa teh ca hanelah moithang tava man pawiteh, thi a palawng vaiteh talai hoi a paten han.

Anyone of the people of Israel, or any of the foreigners who live among them, who hunts and kills an animal or bird that may be eaten, that person must pour out its blood and cover the blood with earth.

14 Thi teh moithang pueng e hringnae lah ao. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh ni moithang buetbuet touh e thi na cat awh mahoeh telah Isarel miphunnaw koe kâ ka poe. Moithangnaw pueng ni a hringnae teh thi dawk ao dawkvah, thi ka cat e tami teh takhoe roeroe lah ao han.

For the life of each creature is its blood. That is why I said to the people of Israel, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every living creature is its blood. Whoever eats it must be cut off.”

15 Amahmawk kadout e saring, sarang ni a kei e caha ka cat e, mae miphun, alouke miphun thoseh, amae khohna a pâsu vaiteh tui a kamhluk han. Tangmin totouh kathounghoehe lah ao.

Every person who eats an animal that has died or that has been torn by wild animals, whether that person is native born or a foreigner living among you, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until the evening. Then he will be clean.

16 Khohna pâsu hoeh, tui hai kamhluk hoehpawiteh amae a yonnae ama ni a khang han telah BAWIPA ni ati.

But if he does not wash his clothes or bathe his body, then he must carry his guilt.'”
