1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah amih te tongpa khaw huta khaw thui pah. Hlangcoelh kah olcaeng dongah caeng ham neh BOEIPA taengah cue uh ham a rhaisang atah,
“Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,
3 Misurtui neh yu dong lamloh cue uh saeh lamtah misurtui a thuui neh yu a thuui khaw o boel saeh, misur thaihtui boeih tah o boel saeh lamtah misur he a thingsup khaw, a rhae khaw ca boel saeh.
they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 A rhuisam kah a tue khuiah tah misur misurtui neh a muu lamloh a saii boeih khaw, a kok pataeng khaw ca boel saeh.
The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.
5 A rhuisam dongkah olcaeng tue khuiah tah paihat loh anih lu te paan boel saeh. BOEIPA taengah a cue uh khohnin a cup hil a cim la om saeh lamtah a lu dongkah sammuei sam sai saeh.
They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.
6 BOEIPA ham a cue uh tue khuiah aka duek hinglu taengla mop boel saeh.
During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.
7 A napa ham neh a manu ham khaw, a pacaboeina ham neh a tanu ham khaw, amih dongah poeih uh boel saeh. Amih te a duek atah a Pathen kah rhuisam kongah anih lu dongah tla saeh.
Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.
8 A rhuisam kah khohnin khuiah tah anih te BOEIPA taengah cim saeh.
Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.
9 Aka duek khaw anih taengah bangrhuet la pahoi a duek atah a rhuisam lu a poeih coeng. Te dongah a lu te vo saeh lamtah a ciimnah khohnin dongkah a rhih hnin ah vo saeh.
However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.
10 A rhet nah hnin ah vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca phiknit mai khaw tingtunnah dap thohka kah khosoih taengla la khuen saeh.
On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
11 Khosoih loh phikat te boirhaem la, phikat te hmueihhlutnah la nawn saeh. A hinglu kah tholh kongah anih ham dawth pah saeh lamtah amah khhnin ah a lu te ciim pah saeh.
The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.
12 A rhuisam kah khohnin ah BOEIPA taengah cue uh saeh lamtah hmaithennah la tu kum khat ca te khuen saeh. Tedae lamhma khohnin kah bangla a rhuisam poeih ham cungku uh ve.
They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.
13 He he hlangcoelh kah olkhueng coeng ni. A rhuisam khohnin a cup khohnin ah anih te tingtunnah dap thohka la khuen saeh.
These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
14 Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah a nawnnah tah kum khat tu a tal pakhat a hmabuet te hmueihhlutnah la, boirhaem la tumanu kum khat ca a hmabut pumat, rhoepnah ham tutal a hmabuet pakhat khuen saeh.
There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.
15 Vaidamding kodawn pakhat te vaidam laep vaidam la situi neh nom saeh lamtah vaidamding vaidamrhawm khaw situi neh koelh saeh. Te phoeiah a khocang neh a tuisi la khuen saeh.
In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.
16 Te phoeiah khosoih loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khuen saeh lamtah anih kah boirhaem neh a hmueihhlutnah te saii pah saeh.
The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.
17 Tutal te BOEIPA taengah rhoepnah hmueih la vaidamding kodawn khat neh nawn saeh. Te phoeiah khosoih loh anih kah khocang neh a tuisi te saii pah saeh.
He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.
18 Tingtunnah dap thohka kah Hlangcoelh loh a rhuisam lu te vo saeh. Te phoeiah a rhuisam lu dongkah sam te lo saeh lamtah rhoepnah hmueih dang kah hmai dongah phum saeh.
Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.
19 Te phoeiah khosoih loh tutal kah a laeng a hmin neh kodawn dongkah vaidamding laep at, vaidamding dongkah vaidam rhawm pakhat te lo saeh. A rhuisam te a vok phoeiah tah hlangcoelh kut ah pae saeh.
Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.
20 Te rhoek te khosoih loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng hmueih la thueng saeh. Khosoih ham thueng hmueih kah a rhang neh khosaa kah a laeng te a cim phoeiah tah hlangcoelh loh misurtui khaw o mai saeh.
The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.
21 He tah BOEIPA taengah amah nawnnah la aka caeng hlangcoelh kah olkhueng ni. A kut loh a pha voel lamloh amah kah rhuisam dongah a olcaeng ol bangla a caeng coeng. Te dongah amah kah rhuisam olkhueng bangla saii saeh,” a ti.
These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”
22 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
23 “Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengah thui pah lamtah Israel ca rhoek te, 'Na yoethen uh tangloeng,’ ti nah.
“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:
24 “BOEIPA loh nang yoethen m'pae saeh lamtah nang n'dawndah saeh.
‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.
25 BOEIPA loh nang soah a maelhmai han sae sak saeh lamtah nang n'rhen saeh.
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
26 BOEIPA loh nang taengah a maelhmai han hoi saeh lamtah nang taengah ngaimongnah hang khueh saeh,’ ti nah.
May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’
27 Kai ming he Israel ca rhoek soah khueh uh pai saeh lamtah kai loh amih yoethen ka pae pai eh,” a ti nah.
Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”
