Leviticus 23
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 “Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. BOEIPA kah khoning te hoe uh lamtah ka khoning vaengah a cim tingtunnah te khuehuh.
3 “You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
Hnin rhuk khuiah bi saii uh saeh. Hnin rhih dongah koiyaeh Sabbath la om saeh lamtah a cim tingtunnah om saeh. BOEIPA kah Sabbath vaengah na tolrhum tom ah bitat khat khaw saii uh boeh.
4 “There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
Amah khoning vaengah tahae kah BOEIPA khotue he doek uh lamtah a cim tingtunnah khuehuh.
5 [The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
Hla lamhma dongkah hlasae hnin hlai li hlaem ah BOEIPA kah Yoom om ni.
6 The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
Hlasae hnin hlai nga dongah BOEIPA kah vaidamding khotue om saeh lamtah hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca uh.
7 On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
A cuek khohnin dongah nangmih ham a cim tingtunnah om saeh lamtah thohtatnah bitat boeih tah saii boeh.
8 On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
Hnin rhih khuiah BOEIPA taengla hmaihlutnah nawn uh. A hnin rhih dongah a cim tingtunnah om saeh lamtah thohtatnah bitat boeih te tah saii uh boeh,” a ti nah.
9 Yahweh also told Moses/me
Te phoeiah Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
10 to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai loh nangmih taengah kam paek khohmuen la na kun uh tih cang na ah uh atah na cangah cuek kah canghmuei te khosoih taengla thak uh.
11 On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
Canghmuei te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng saeh. Nangmih taengah kolonah ham khosoih loh Sabbath vuen ah thueng saeh.
12 That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
Canghmuei na thueng uh hnin vaengah tu kum khat ca te BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah ham a cuemthuek la nawn uh.
13 You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
Situi neh a thoek khocang vaidam doh nit te BOEIPA ham hmaihlutnah hmuehmuei botui la om saeh. Tuisi ham misurtui bunang pali khueh saeh.
14 Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
Na Pathen kah nawnnah a khohnin tuung na pha hlan atah vaidam khaw, vairhum khaw, cangthai khaw ca uh boeh. Na tolrhum boeih kah na cadilcahma ham kumhal khosing la om saeh.
15 “Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
Thueng hmueih la canghuei na khuen tue phoeikah Sabbath vuen lamkah te tae lamtah Sabbath voeirhih a cum due om sak.
16 on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
Sabbath voei rhih na tae vuen kah hnin sawmnga vaengah khocang cangthai te BOEIPA taengla nawn uh.
17 From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
Na tolrhum lamkah thueng hmueih vaidam hluem nit, tolrhu neh a thong vaidam doh nit te BOEIPA ham thaihcuek la khuen uh.
18 Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
Te vaengah vaidam hluem rhih, tu kum khat aka lo ca a cuemthuek neh, saelhung khuikah vaito ca pakhat, tutal panit te khuen lamtah BOEIPA taengkah hmueihhlutnah ham om saeh. Amih kah khocang neh tuisi te khaw BOEIPA ham hmuehmuei botui hmaihlutnah la om saeh.
19 Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
Te phoeiah boirhaem ham maae tal pakhat neh rhoepnah hmueih ham tu kum khat ca pumnit te nawn uh.
20 The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
Thaihcuek buh te thueng hmueih la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khosoih loh thueng saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengkah a cim tuca panit te tah khosoih ham la om saeh.
21 On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
Tekah khohnin tuung dongah a cim tingtunnah om ham hoe uh lamtah namahmih kah thohtatnah bitat boeih te tah saii uh boeh. He tah Na tolrhum boeih kah na cadilcahma ham kumhal khosing la om saeh.
22 “When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
Na khohmuen kah cang na ah uh vaengah khaw na khohmuen te hmangrhong kaep due khap uh boeh. Cang na ah uh vaengah khaw na cang mo te boeih yoep uh boeh. Mangdaeng neh yinlai ham hnoo pauh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni,” a ti nah.
23 Yahweh also told Moses/me
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
24 to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Hla hlarhih khuikah lamhmacuek hla te nangmih ham a cim tingtunnah tamlung poekkoepnah koiyaeh om saeh.
25 All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
Te vaengah thohtatnah bitat boeih tah saii uh boel lamtah BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah nawn ni,” a ti nah.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek.
27 “You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
“A hla rha khuikah a hla rhih dongah khaw nangmih ham a cim tingtunnah neh dawthnah hnin te om saeh. Te vaengah na hinglu te phaep uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah nawn uh.
28 You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
Na Pathen BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah nangmih kah te dawth ham dawthnah khohnin la a om dongah tekah khohnin tuung ah bitat pakhat khaw saii uh boeh.
29 You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
Tekah khohnin tuung dongah a pum aka phaep pawt hlanghing boeih tah a pilnam lamkah khoe van saeh.
30 I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
Tekah khohnin tuung dongah bitat khat khat te hlanghing khat khat loh saii mai ngawn saeh. Tedae tekah hlanghing te a pilnam khui lamkah ka milh sak ni.
31 You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
Bitat pakhat khaw na saii uh pawt ham te na tolrhum boeih kah na cadilcahma rhoek ham kumhal khosing la om saeh.
32 That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
Nangmih kah koiyaeh Sabbath ah te na hinglu phaep uh. Hla ko dongkah hlaem ah tah hlaem lamloh hlaem hil na Sabbath yaeh uh,” a ti nah.
33 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
34 “Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Hla rhih dongkah hnin hlai nga dongah pohlip khotue te BOEIPA ham hnin rhih khuiah om saeh.
35 On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
Khohnin lamhmacuek, a cim tingtunnah vaengah thohtatnah bitat boeih tah saii uh boeh.
36 On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
Hnin rhih khuiah BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah nawn uh. Hnin rhet te nangmih kah a cim tingtunnah la om saeh. Pahong vaengah khaw BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah nawn uh lamtah thohtatnah bitat boeih te saii uh boeh.
37 “[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
BOEIPA kah khoning rhoek te a cim tingtunnah la hoe uh. Tekah khohnin vaengah a khohnin loh a kuek te tah hmueihhlutnah khaw, khocang hmueih neh tuisi khaw BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah la khuen uh.
38 (Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
BOEIPA kah Sabbath khaw amah vaengah, nangmih kah kutdoe khaw amah vaengah, na olcaeng boeih khaw amah vaengah, na kothoh boeih khaw amah vaengah BOEIPA taengla pae uh.
39 “[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
Hla rhih phoeikah hnin hlai nga dongah khohmuen kah a vuei a thaih te khoem uh bal lamtah BOEIPA kah khotue te hnin rhih lam uh. A cuek khohnin dongah koiyaeh om vetih a rhet khohnin dongah khaw koiyaeh om bal ni.
40 But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
A cuek khohnin dongah rhuepomnah thing thaih neh rhophoe bom, thing bu thing hlaeng, soklong tuirhi te namamih ham lo uh. Na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnin rhih khui na kohoe sakuh.
41 You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
Kum khat ah hnin rhih tah BOEIPA ham khotue na lam uh ham te na cadilcahma taengah kumhal khosing la omsaeh lamtah hla rhih dongah lam uh.
42 During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
Dungtlungim ah hnin rhih khosa uh. Israel khuikah mupoe boeih longtah dungtlungim khuiah khosa saeh.
43 That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
Te daengah ni kamah loh Egypt kho lamkah Israel ca rhoek ka mawt vaengah dungtlungim ah ka om sak te na cadilcahma loh a ming eh. Kai tah na Pathen BOEIPA ni,” a ti nah.
44 So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah khoning te Israel ca rhoek ham Moses loh a thui pah.
