And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 Namah manuca, na pa conghol Levi koca khaw, namah taengla lo. Nang taengah naep uh saeh lamtah namah neh namah taengkah na ca rhoek te olphong dap hmai la na om uh vaengah nang te m'bong uh saeh.

And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.

3 Nang kah hutnah neh dap pum kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Tedae hmuencim kah hnopai taeng neh hmueihtuk taengah mop uh boel saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw nangmih taengah a duek uh pawt eh.

And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

4 Nang taengah naep uh saeh lamtah dap khuikah thohtatnah cungkuem dongah tingtunnah dap kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Tedae kholong tah nangmih taengla ha mop uh boel saeh.

And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

5 Hmuencim kah a kuek neh hmueihtuk kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh. Te daengah ni thinhulnah he Israel ca rhoek soah koep a om pawt eh.

And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

6 Kai loh na manuca Levi te Israel ca khui lamloh ka loh coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham nangmih te kutdoe la BOEIPA taengah m'paek coeng.

And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

7 Tedae namah neh na taengkah na ca rhoek tah hmueihtuk kah olka boeih neh hniyan khui lamkah te nangmih kah khosoihbi la ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kutdoe la khosoihbi kam paek kah thohtatnah dongah thotat uh. Tedae kholong aka mop te tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office [unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

8 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Kai loh ka khosaa hut he nang taengah kam paek coeng ne, Israel ca rhoek kah hnocim boeih khui lamloh nang taengah koelhnah la, na ca taengah kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

9 Amih kah nawnnah boeih dongah hmai khui lamkah a cim, cim khaw nang ham om bitni. Amih kah khocang cungkuem lamkah neh a boirhaem cungkuem lamkah khaw, a hmaithennah cungkuem lakmah khaw, kai taengla a cim a cim ham mael uh te nang ham neh na ca rhoek ham ni.

This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10 Te te a cim, cim la ca. Tongpa boeih loh te te ca saeh lamtah nang taengah a cim la om saeh.

In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

11 He khaw nang ham ni. Israel ca rhoek te thueng hmueih cungkuem khui lamloh amih kah kutdoe khosaa hoep pah. Te te nang taeng neh na capa rhoek taengah khaw, namah taengkah na canu rhoek taengah khaw kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek coeng. Na imkhui kah aka cim boeih loh te te ca saeh.

And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

12 BOEIPA taengah situi tha boeih neh misur thai hangcil boeih, a thaihcuek cangpai a paek uh te nang taengah kam paek.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

13 BOEIPA taengla a khuen a khohmuen kah thaihcuek boeih te nang ham om bitni. Na imkhui kah aka cim boeih loh te te ca saeh.

[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat [of] it.

14 Israel khuikah yaehtaboeih boeih he nang ham ni.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

15 Pumsa cungkuem bung lamkah cacuek boeih, hlang khaw, rhamsa khaw, BOEIPA ham a khuen uh te nang ham ni. Tedae hlang kah caming te tah lat rhoe lat lamtah, rhalawt rhamsa kah cacuek khaw lat kuekluek.

Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

16 A lat koi te hla khat a kuep ca vaengah namah loh a phu vanbangla cak shekel panga neh lat. Hmuencim kah shekel ah tah te te gerah kul lo.

And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs.

17 Vaito cacuek, tuca cacuek neh maae cacuek tah lat boeh. Te rhoek kah a thii cim te hmueihtuk dongah haeh lamtah a tha te BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah hmuehmuei botui la phum.

But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

18 A saa te nang ham thueng hmueih kah a rhang banghui la om tih bantang laeng khaw nang ham ni.

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

19 BOEIPA taengah Israel ca rhoek kah a paek, a cim khosaa boeih te nang ham neh na capa rhoek ham khaw namah taengkah na canu rhoek ham khaw kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek coeng. Te te nang ham neh namah taengkah na tiingan ham khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kumhal lungkaeh paipi la om,” a ti nah.

All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

20 BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Amih kah khohmuen neh m'phaeng pawt vetih nang ham khoyo amih lakli ah om mahpawh. Kai tah Israel ca khui ah nang kah khoyo neh nang kah rho la ka om.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 Israel kah parha pakhat boeih he Levi koca rhoek ham ka paek coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah aka thotat amih ham a thothuengnah kah a yueng a tlang rho la ka paek.

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22 Tholhnah aka phuei ham rhung neh aka duek ham rhung tah, Israel ca rhoek loh tingtunnah dap la koep mop uh boel saeh.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 Tedae tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah he Levi amah mah thothueng saeh lamtah na cadilcahma kah kumhal khosing la te rhoek loh amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh. Israel ca lakli ah rho phaeng uh boel saeh.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24 Israel ca rhoek kah parha pakhat, BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a pom te Levi taengah rho la ka paek. Te dongah ni amih te Israel ca lakli ah rho a phaeng pawt ham ka thui,” a ti nah.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

26 “Levi te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Israel ca taeng lamkah parha pakhat te doe pah, te te amih taeng lamloh nangmih taengah namamih kah rho la kam paek. Te dongah parha pakhat khui lamkah parha pakhat te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh.

Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.

27 Nangmih kah khosaa te nangmih ham canghlom khui lamkah cangpai bangla, va-am lamkah thaihhmin bangla nawt saeh.

And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

28 Nangmih khaw Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah na dang na parha pakhat boeih lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh. Te khui lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Aaron taengah pae uh.

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Nangmih kah kutdoe cungkuem khui lamkah khaw, a rhokso kah a tha cungkuem lamkah khaw BOEIPA kah khosaa la boeih tloeng uh.

Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out of it.

30 Te dongah amih te thui pah. Te lamkah a a kuel tha la na tloeng uh khaw Levi ham tah cangtilhmuen kah cangthaih neh va-am kah a thaih la a nawt bitni.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 Te te na hmuen takuem neh na imkhui ah ca uh. Te te tingtunnah dap ah nangmih kah thothuengnah a yueng a tlang la nangmih kah thapang ni.

And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32 Te khui lamkah a tha te na tloeng uh vaengah tholhnah la na phuei uh mahpawh. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah hmuencim te na poeih uh pawt daengah ni na duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.

And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
