< Leviticus 1 >

1 While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a khue tih tingtunnah dap lamkah a voek vaengah,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Nangmih khuikah hlang loh BOEIPA taengah nawnnah a khuen vaengah rhamsa, saelhung, boiva khui lamkah khaw namamih kah nawnnah la khuen.
3 ‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
Nawnnah ham hmueihhlutnah te saelhung mai koinih a tal aka cuem te tingtunnah dap thohka ah nawn saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kolonah ham nawn saeh.
4 You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
Te vaengah hmueihhlutnah kah a lu soah a kut tloeng saeh lamtah anih ham a dawth te doe saeh.
5 You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah saelhung ca te ngawn saeh lamtah khosoih Aaron ca rhoek loh a thii te khuen saeh. Te vaengah thii te tingtunnah dap thohka kah hmueihtuk so neh a kaepvai ah haeh uh saeh.
6 You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
Hmueihhlutnah te hlaai saeh lamtah maehpoel la tloek saeh.
7 Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh hmueihtuk ah hmai toih uh saeh lamtah hmai soah thing hueng uh saeh.
8 Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
Maehpoel, a lu, neh a tha te hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai soah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh tloeng uh saeh.
9 Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
A kotak neh a kho te tui neh sil saeh lamtah khosoih loh BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah, hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk ah boeih phum saeh.
10 ‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
Tedae anih kah nawnnah te boiva khui lamkah koinih hmueihhlutnah ham tah tu khaw, maae tal aka cuem te khuen saeh.
11 You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
Tekah te BOEIPA mikhmuh kah hmueihtuk kaep kah tlangpuei ben ah ngawn saeh lamtah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh a thii te hmueihtuk so neh a kaepvai ah haeh uh saeh.
12 You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
A pum te maehpoel la tloek saeh lamtah a lu neh a tha te khosoih loh hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai dongah tloeng saeh.
13 Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Tedae a kotak neh a kho rhoek te tui neh sil saeh. Te phoeiah khosoih loh khuen saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk ah boeih phum saeh.
14 ‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
BOEIPA taengah anih kah nawnnah ham hmueihhlutnah te vaa khui lamkah koinih vahu mai khaw, vahui ca mai khaw amah kah nawnnah ham khuen saeh.
15 The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
Te vaengah khosoih loh hmueihtuk la khuen saeh. A lu te a paimaelh pah phoeiah hmueihtuk ah phum saeh. A thii te hmueihtuk pangbueng dongah ci saeh.
16 Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
Tedae a tukpoe neh a dii te poelh saeh lamtah hmueihtuk khothoeng kah maehhloi hmuen ah voei saeh.
17 Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
Vaa te a phae let pah saeh lamtah boe boel saeh. Te phoeiah khosoih loh BOEIPA taengah hmuehmuei botui hmueihhlutnah hmaihlutnah la hmueihtuk sokah thing toih hmai dongah phum saeh.”
