Thempu Dan 17

1 Pakaiyin, Mose henga hiti hin aseipeh in,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

2 Aaron le achapte chule Israel chate jouse henga aseipeh ding in, bannei chan dan hochu athupeh in ahi.

“Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them: ‘This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined,

3 Israel telah a koi hijong leh, Pakai, Pathen chenna ponbuh kot phung tailouva; Pakai adia kilhaina bong, kelngoi chule kelcha that pen pen in danthu apalkeh ahi.

Whatever man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

4 Ama chun thisan asotah jeh a, Pathen miteh lah a kona kisimtha lou ding ahi.

and has not brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Adonai before Adonai’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

5 Hiche thupeh in adeisah pen chu, gammang tollah a kithat gancha jouse chu, Pakai angsunga ahin kailut diuva thupeh ahi. Kotbul lama thempupa henga ahinkai lut diu, kiloikhomna thilto dia kithat ding ahi.

This is to the end that the children of Israel [God prevails] may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Adonai, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Adonai.

6 Thisan chu thempu pan ki khop khomna ponbuh kot phung maicham kimvel jousea athe thang ding, Pakaiya dia sathao hochu gimnamtuiya agovam ding ahi.

The priest shall sprinkle the blood on Adonai’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Adonai.

7 Israel chaten Pathen ajoulhep nauva kelcha limsemthu, doihou dinga gammang lah a gancha atha kitlou diu ahi. Hiche dan thupeh hi Israelten akhang akhanga ajui diu ahi.

They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a regulation forever to them throughout their generations.’

8 Israel mite hihen amaho lah a cheng gamchom mi hijong leh pumgo thilto ahi.

“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

9 Kikhop khomna ponbuh kotphung tailouva Pathen adia kilhaina sem jouse, Pathen mite holah a kona kisim thalou ding ahi.

and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Adonai; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 Israel hihen gamchom mi hijong leh, thisan lhoh lha theng louva sa toh neh tha aum le, hichu Pakai, Pathen toh kidou ahin, amite lah akona simtha lou ding ahi.

“‘Any man of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

11 Ganhing jouse hinna hi thisan akon ahi, hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin mi jouse chonset suhmang ahitheina dinga, hichu maicham phunga asun lhah dinga thupeh ahi.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

12 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Israel chate le alah uva cheng gamchom miho jaonaa, sa chu thisan jaonaa neh lou dia athupeh ahi.

Therefore I have said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”

13 Israel mi hihen, gamchom mi alah uva cheng hi jong leh, gamlah a saham vacha ham, houtoh kitoh a atheng, hiche ho that pen pen chu thisanso ahitan, hichu leiset avuh khu ding ahi.

“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

14 Ganhing hinna kiti hi thisan ahin, hibanga chu sa kiti phot Israel chaten thisan jaonaa nehlou dia Pakai thupeh ahi, koi hileh anetha chu amite lah a kona pampeiya um ding ahi.

For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

15 Israel mi hihen gamchom mi hijong leh, gan thikam ahilouleh, sa hang ham in atha nekha aum le avon jouse akisop theng ding, ama jong kisil lha ding, nilhum keiya atheng louva um ding ahi.

“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.

16 Hichu abol tah louva ahileh, themmo chang ding ahi.

But if he does not wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
