1Tuin, nou siampute aw, hiai thupiak noua ding ahi.
1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2Ka min pahtawi dinga, na ngaihkhiak kei ua, lungtanga na koih uleh, huchiin na tunguah hamsia ka hongtungsak dinga, na vualjawlnate uh ka hamsiat khum ding, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, ahi, lungtanga na koih louh jiak un, ka hamsiat khinta hi.
2If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3Ngai un, nou jiakin na chi tuh ka sal dinga, na mai uah ek ka theh thang dinga, na kithoihna ek ngei uh; huchiin huai toh lak mangin na om ding uh.
3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4Huan, hiai thupiak, Levi toh ka thukhun a om theihna dingin, na kiang uah ka honsawlta chih na thei ding uh, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.
4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
5Hinna leh lungmuanna ka thukhun amah toh a om hi, a kihtak theihna dingin a kiangah a maute ka peta a, kei a honkihta a, ka min a zahtak mahmah hi.
5My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
6Thudik dan a kam sungah a oma, diktatlouhna a mukha a kimu kei hi; lungmuannaleh tannaah ka thu a juia, gitlouhnaa kipanin tampi a kihei mang sak hi.
6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7Siampu mukten theihna a kem un, a kamah dan thu a zong ding uh ahi hima; amah lah sepaihte TOUPA sawltak ahi ngala.
7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8Himahleh lampi akipana pialsakin na om ua; tampi danah na kisui puk sak uh; Levi thukhun na suseta uhi, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.
8But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9Huaijiakin, ka lampite na zuih louh dungjuiun, dana mite deihsak tuam na neih jawk jiakun, ken leng mipite tengteng maah zahpihhuai leh daiin ka hon bawlta hi.
9Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10I vek un pa khat i neikei ua hia? Pathian khatin honsiam ka hia? bangdia lepchiah taka mi chihin a unau siatna dinga hih i hi ua, i pipute uh thukhun hihninin?
10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11Judain lepchiahtak in a hihtaa, Israel ah leh Jerusalem ah kihhuai hihin a om hi, Judain Pathian munsiangthou a it, a hihnintaa, theihlouh pathian tanu a kitenpihta ngala,
11Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
12TOUPAN hiai thil hihpa, sinsakpa leh sinsaka ompa, Jakob puanin akipan leh, sepaihte TOUPA laka thillat lanpa a sat khe ding hi.
12The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
13Huan, hiai na hih nawn uh; TOUPA maitam khitui, kah leh thumnain na khuh ua, thillat a limsak nawn louha, na khut ua kipana deihsakna toh san leng a san nawn louh tan phain.
13And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14Hinapi in lah, Bangdingin? a chi ua. Na tuailai ji, lepchiahtaka na bawl, na kithuahpihnu hiin, na thukhun ji hinapiin, amah leh nang kikalah TOUPA theihpihpa a hihkhit tak jiakin.
14Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15Pathianin nih tuh sa khatin honbawl kei mo? Khatin na kha honbawlsakin, a hingsak kei mo? Bangachia khat? pathianlimsak chi a zong ahi. Huaijiakin hih kei uhen.
15And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16Koih mang ka ut louh jiakin, TOUPA Israel Pathianin a chi, hiamgamnaa a puansilh khuh amah mipa, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; huaijiakin, lepchiahtaka hihlou dingin, na kha thu uah pilvang un.Na thu un TOUPA na hihgimta uh, koiah ka honhihgim ua eita? na chi lai ua, Michih gilou hih TOUPA mitmuhin a hoiha, huan huaite ah amah a kipak hi, na chihna uah, ahihkeileh vaihawmna Pathian kaw om ahia? na chihna uah
16For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17Na thu un TOUPA na hihgimta uh, koiah ka honhihgim ua eita? na chi lai ua, Michih gilou hih TOUPA mitmuhin a hoiha, huan huaite ah amah a kipak hi, na chihna uah, ahihkeileh vaihawmna Pathian kaw om ahia? na chihna uah
17Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
