Leviticus 10
1 [Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
Aaron ca rhoi Nadab neh Abihu loh amah amah baelphaih te a loh rhoi tih hmai soah a tloeng rhoi. Te phoeiah bo-ul te a khueh thil rhoi tih hmai hloeh neh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a khueh rhoi. Te te amih rhoi taengah a uen dae moenih.
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
Te vaengah BOEIPA hmai lamkah hmai ha thoeng tih amih rhoi te a hlawp dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah duek rhoi.
3 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
Te dongah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “BOEIPA loh, ‘Kai neh aka yoei taengah ka ciim uh vetih pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah ka thangpom uh ni,’ a ti te a thui coeng he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Aaron khaw kuemsuem sut.
4 Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron kah a napa noe Uzziel ca rhoi Mishael neh Elizaphan te a khue tih, “Halo rhoi lah. Na manuca rhoi he hmuencim hmai lamloh rhaehhmuen vongvoel la kawt uh,” a ti nah.
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Te dongah Moses kah olpaek vanbangla halo uh tih amih rhoi te a angkidung dongah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la a koh uh.
6 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron, a ca rhoi Eleazar neh Ithamar taengah, “Na lu te lim uh boeh, na himbai khaw phen uh boeh. Te daengah ni a thintoek ah rhaengpuei pum loh na duek uh pawt eh. Tedae Israel imkhui boeih ah BOEIPA loh hmai neh a hoeh na manuca rhoek te tah rhah uh mai saeh.
7 But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
Te dongah tingtunnah dap thohka lamkah moe uh boeh. Na soah BOEIPA kah koelhnah situi dongah na duek uh ve,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses kah olthui bangla a saii uh.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
BOEIPA loh Aaron te a voek tih,
9 “You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
“Namah neh namah taengkah na ca rhoek loh tingtunnah dap khuila na kun uh vaengah misurtui khaw, yu khaw o boeh. Te daengah ni na cadilcahma ham khaw kumhal khosing vanbangla na duek uh pawt eh.
10 You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
Cimcaihnah laklo neh rhongingnah laklo ah, rhalawt laklo neh aka cil laklo ah paekboe ham om,” a ti nah.
11 And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
Israel ca rhoek thuinuet ham oltlueh cungkuem te khaw BOEIPA loh amih ham Moses kut ah a thui pah.
12 Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
Te dongah Moses loh Aaron, Eleazar neh Ithamar koca aka sueng rhoek te, “BOEIPA hmaihlutnah dong lamkah khocang aka coih te lo uh. Tedae te tah a cim kah a cim dongah hmueihtuk taengah vaidamding la ca uh.
13 Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
Kai ng'uen van coeng dongah BOEIPA hmaihlutnah khui lamkah khocang te namah kah buhvae neh namah koca rhoek kah buhvae la hmuen cim ah ca uh.
14 But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
Tedae Israel ca rhoek kah rhoepnah hmueih khuiah thueng hmueih kah a rhang neh khosaa kah a laeng tah namah kah maehvae neh, na ca rhoek kah maehvae coeng ni. Na capa rhoek, na canu rhoek neh namah kah hmuen saelh ah ca uh.
15 The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
Khosaa kah a laeng neh thueng hmueih kah a rhang khaw, maehtha hmaihlutnah khaw, BOEIPA mikhmuh kah thueng hmueih la thueng ham khuen uh. BOEIPA kah a uen vanbangla namah ham neh na ca rhoek ham kumhal ah maehvae la om saeh,” a ti nah.
16 When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
Te phoeiah boirhaem maae te Moses loh a tlap a tlap hatah vawl ana hai pa uh. Te dongah Aaron koca rhoek khuiah aka sueng Eleazar neh Ithamar taengah a thintoek tih,
17 “Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
“A cim kah a cim boirhaem he balae tih hmuencim hmuen ah na caak uh pawh? He khaw rhaengpuei kah thaesainah aka phuei tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih kah tholh aka dawth hamla nangmih taengah m'paek dae.
18 Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
A thii te hmuencim la a khuen moenih ko he. Kang uen bangla hmuencim ah ca khaw ca uh yap mai saw,” a ti nah.
19 Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
Te vaengah Aaron loh Moses taengah, “Tihnin ah a boirhaem neh hmueihhlutnah te khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a nawn uh coeng dae tahae kah bangla kai taengah thoeng coeng he. Tihnin ah boirhaem he ka ca koinih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah then aya?” a ti nah.
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Tedae Moses loh a yaak vaengah a mikhmuh ah a thuem sak.
