Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
Kai te khothoeng la aka mael poengben rhokso vongka longpuei la n'mael puei vaengah te te ana khai uh pueng.
2 Yahweh said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Vongka a khaih he ana om saeh. Ong boel saeh lamtah he lamloh hlang kun boel saeh. Israel Pathen BOEIPA he te lamloh a kun lalah a khaih uh dongah ana om saeh.
3 As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before Yahweh. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah buh aka ca aka ca ham khoboei, khoboei mah a khuiah ngol saeh. Vongka kah ngalha long kun saeh lamtah amah long ah cet saeh,” a ti.
4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house; so I fell on my face.
Te phoeiah im hmai kah tlangpuei vongka longpuei la kai n'khuen. Ka sawt vaengah BOEIPA im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tarha bae tih ka maelhmai neh ka bakop.
5 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of Yahweh’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw na lungbuei ah khueh lamtah na mik neh hmu laeh. Na hna neh ya laeh. A cungkuem dongah kai loh nang te BOEIPA im kah khosing boeih neh a olkhueng dongkah olkhueng cungkuem te kang uen coeng. Te dongah na lungbuei te a im vongrhai rhokso kah a thoengnah cungkuem taengah khueh laeh.
6 You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he, Israel imkhui boekoek taengah thui pah. Israel imkhui nang kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem te nangmih taengah temah laeh saeh.
7 in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
Lungbuei pumdul rhoek neh pumsa kah pumdul, kholong ca rhoek te ka rhokso ah om ham nang khuen uh. A tha neh a thii te ka buh la na nawn vaengah ka im te a poeih tih nangmih tueilaehkoi cungkuem loh ka paipi te a phae.
8 You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
Ka cimcaihnah loh a kuek te na ngaithuen uh pawt dongah ka rhokso dongkah ka kuek te aka ngaithuen la nangmih na khueh uh thae.
9 The Lord Yahweh says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lungbuei pumdul neh pumsa pumdul, kholong ca boeih tah Israel ca lakli kah kholong ca boeih khaw ka rhokso la mop boel saeh.
10 “‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
Te dongah Levi pataeng kai taeng lamloh a lakhla vaengah tah Israel loh kho a hmang. Kho a hmang vaengah kai taeng lamloh a mueirhol hnuk a vai uh dongah amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
Te daengah ni ka rhokso ah om uh vetih im vongka kah cawhkung la aka thotat neh im ah aka thotat la a om uh eh. Te rhoek loh pilnam ham hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te ngawn pah saeh. Te rhoek te amih bong ham amih mikhmuh ah pai saeh.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord Yahweh, “and they will bear their iniquity.
Amih loh a mueirhol hmai ah a thohtat uh khaw Israel imkhui ham tathaesainah hmuitoel la poeh uh. Te dongah ni ka kut he amih ka phuel thil. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh.
13 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
Kai taengah khosoih bi ham ka taengla ha mop uh boel saeh. Cimcaihnah khui lamakh cimcaihnah ni kai kah cimcaihnah cungkuem khuiah ha mop eh. Te dongah amamih kah mingthae neh amamih kah tueilaehkoi a saii uh te phuei uh saeh.
14 Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
Tedae amih te a thohtatnah cungkuem dongah ka im kah a kuek aka ngaithuen tih a khuiah a cungkuem aka saii la ka khueh ni.
15 “‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Tedae Zadok koca, Levi khosoih rhoek loh ka rhokso kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Te daengah ni amih Israel ca loh kai taeng lamkah kho a hmang vaengah kai aka bong la kai taengah ha mop uh vetih kai taengah maehtha neh thii nawn ham te ka mikhmuh ah a pai uh eh.

16 “They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
Amih ni ka rhokso la a kun uh eh. Te phoeiah amih ni kai aka bong ham ka caboei taengah ha mop uh vetih ka kuek te a ngaithuen uh eh.
17 “‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

18 They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.
Hlamik lukhuem te a lu dongah khuem uh saeh lamtah hlamik hnii te a cinghen ah na uh saeh. Himbai-bae la vah uh boel saeh.
19 When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
Amih poengben vongtung taengla aka cet loh poengben vongtung kah pilnam taengla a caeh atah a bibi vaengkah a himbai te pit uh saeh. Te te cimcaihnah imkhan ah khueh uh saeh lamtah himbai tloe bai uh saeh. Amih kah himbai lamloh pilnam khaw vik ciim uh pawt ve.
20 “‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
A lu khaw vo uh boel saeh lamtah sammuei khaw sen boel saeh. A lu te rhuep la rhuep uh saeh.
21 None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
Khosoih boeih long tah khuiben vongtung la a kun vaengah misurtui o uh boel saeh.
22 They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
Nuhmai neh vama khaw a yuu la lo uh boel saeh. Tedae Israel imkhui kah tiingan lamloh oila neh nuhmai khaw khosoih kah yurho la aka om tah lo uh saeh.
23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Ka pilnam te a laklo ah rhongingnah lamloh cimcaihnah te thuinuet uh. A laklo ah cuemcaih khui lamkah rhalawt hno te tueng uh saeh.
24 “‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
Tuituknah dongah khaw amih tah kai kah laitloeknah dongah pai uh saeh lamtah tiktamnah ham laitloek uh saeh. Laitloek long khaw ka olkhueng bangla laitloek uh saeh. Ka khoning cungkuem dongah khaw ka khosing te ngaithuen uh saeh lamtah ka Sabbath te ciim uh saeh.
25 “‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.

26 After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
Te dongah anih kah ciimnah te hnin rhih phoeiah ni anih ham a tae pah eh.
27 In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Hmuencim ah thohtat ham khuiben vongup kah hmuencim la a mop hnin ah a boirhaem te nawn saeh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
28 “‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
Te te amih taengah rho la om saeh. Ka he amih kah rho coeng ni. Te dongah Israel kah khohut te amih taengah pae boeh. Kai he amih kah khohut coeng ni.
29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Khocang, boirhaem neh hmaithennah te a caak uh vetih Israel khuiah yaehtaboeih boeih te amih ham om bitni.
30 The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.
