Leviticus 17

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded:

Aaron hoi a capanawk, Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih;

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

kawbaktih Israel kami mah doeh maitaw maeto, to tih ai boeh loe tuucaa maeto, to tih ai boeh loe maeh to angmacae ohhaih im ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe tasa bangah maw boh moe,

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

Angraeng ih kahni im hmaa ih, amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, Angraeng khaeah paek han sin ai nahaeloe, to kami to athii longsak kami ah net moe, angmah ih acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.

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

Israel kaminawk loe taw ah a sak o ih angbawnhaih to, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im hmaa, Angraeng hmaa ah, qaima khaeah sin o tih; to hmuen to Angraeng khaeah angdaeh angbawnhaih ahmuen ah paek o tih.

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

Qaima mah athii to amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaom, hmaicam nuiah haeh ueloe, Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah athawk to hmai pakhaem tih.

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

Nihcae mah angmacae hoi a takpum zawhhaih, taqawk khaeah angbawnhaih sah o mak ai boeh. Hae loe nihcae hoi a caanawk khoek to pazui han paek ih dungzan ah kaom zaehhoihhaih daan ah oh.

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

Nihcae khae ih, Mi kawbaktih Israel kami doeh, nihcae khaeah kaom angvinnawk doeh, hmai angbawnhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe paek han ih hmuen maw a sin o naah,

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

amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, Angraeng khaeah sin o ai nahaeloe, to kami to angmah ih acaeng thung hoi pahnawt oh, tiah thui paeh.

10 “‘Any man of the house of Israel, 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.

Israel imthung takoh mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nihcae salakah kaom angvinnawk mah maw, athii to caa o nahaeloe, athii caa kami to mikhmai ka set thuih moe, angmah ih acaeng thung hoiah pahnawt sut han.

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood. 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.

Taksa hinghaih loe athii thungah oh; na sak o ih zaehaih to tahmen moe, na hing o thai hanah, to athii to hmaicam nuiah ka paek boeh; hae loe kami hing hanah zae angbawnhaih athii ah oh.

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

To pongah Israel kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae thung ih mi kawbaktih doeh athii to caa o hmah; nangcae salakah kaom angvin mah doeh athii to caak han om ai, tiah ka thuih boeh.

13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, 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.

Israel kami mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae salakah kaom angvin mah maw, moi zoep naah moi maw, tavaa maw naeh nahaeloe, athii pathok moe, athii to maiphu hoi aphum pacoengah ni, caak han oh.

14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “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.”

Athii loe taksa boih hinghaih ah oh; to pongah, Nangcae loe kawbaktih moi thii doeh caa o hmah, tiah Israel kaminawk khaeah ka thuih boeh; taksa boih hinghaih loe athii ah oh pongah, athii caa kami loe, pahnawt sut ah om tih.

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

Angmah koeh kadueh moi, moi kasan mah kaek ih moi caa kami, prae thung ih kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe angvin doeh, a khukbuen to pasuk moe, tui amhluk han oh; anih loe duembang khoek to ciim mak ai; tui amhluk pacoengah ni ciim vop tih.

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

Toe a khukbuen to pasuk ai moe, tui doeh amhluh ai nahaeloe, to kami loe a zaehaih tho to hnu tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
