¹Huan mun siangthou kongpi ponung jaw, suah lama ngaah a honpi kik nawna, khak a nahi a.

¹Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.

²Huan TOUPAN ka kiangah, Hiai kongpi a kikhak thek dinga, a kihong kei dinga, kuamah a lut samkei ding uh; TOUPA, Israel Pathian a honglut khit jiakin; a kikhak thek dinga hi.

²Yahweh said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.

³Lal bel TOUPA maa an ne dingin huailaiah a tu phet dinga; sumtawng kongkhak ah a lut dinga, huaimah ah a pawt nawn ding, a chi a.

³As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

⁴Huan mal lam nga kongpi ah inpi intual ah a honpi a; huan, ka ena ngaidih, TOUPA in TOUPA thupinain a dim vek mai maha; huan khupbohin ka pukta hi.

⁴Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh: and I fell on my face.

⁵Huan TOUPAN ka kiang ah, Mihing tapa, TOUPA in zatdan leh a dan tengteng na kianga ka gen tungtang ah na bil doh inla, na mit suan inla, na lungsim ah chiamteh hoih dih: a inpi lut dan te, a mun siangthou a kipan pawtdante, na lungsim ah hoihtakin chiamteh in.

⁵Yahweh said to me, Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yahweh, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.

⁶Huan helhat, Israel inkote ngei kiangah hichiin na gen ding ahi: TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Aw, nou Israel inkote aw, na kihhuaina tengteng uh behlap dinga pautuam mi,

⁶You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

⁷lungtang leh sa zeksum louh, ka tanghoute, thaute na lat lai ua ka mun siangthou, ka in mahmah hihbuah dinga na pilutua, ka thukhun a na tatlek uh, na kihhuaina tengtengte uh na tawpta heh.

⁷in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.

⁸Huan ka thil siangthoute nou na kem kei ua, hiai pautuam mite ka mun siangthou ah nou sik a kemmiin na sep zota uh.

⁸You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.

⁹TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Pautuam mi kuamah, lungtang leh sa zeksumlouh, Israel tate lak a pautuam mi himhim ka mun siangthou ah a lut ding uh a hikei.

⁹Thus says the Lord Yahweh, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.

¹⁰Levi chi, Israelte milim delha a vak mang lai ua kei akipana gamla pia paisaten bel a thulimlouhna uh a po ding uh.

¹⁰But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

¹¹Ka mun siangthou ah nasemmiin a pang ding ua; inpi kongkhakte a ngak ding ua; inpi sung ah na a sem ding uh: halmang kithoihnate, mipi a dia kithoihnate a gou ding ua; mipi nasep sak ding in a ma uah a ding ding uh.

¹¹Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

¹²A milimte uh maah a na uh a sep sak dingua; Israelte inkote a din thulimlouhnaa pukna a hih sek nak jiak un a tunguah ka khut ka lik dinga; a thulimlouhna uh a po ngei ding uh, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹²Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity.

¹³Huchiin ka kiang ah siampu nasem dingin a hon naih ngeikei ding ua; ka thil siangthoute, thil siangthoupente a hong naih ngei samkei ding uh; a zahlakna uh leh a thil kihhuai hih sate uh a po zo ding uh.

¹³They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

¹⁴A inpi kemmite dingin ka bawl dinga, nasepna tengteng leh hih ding om peuhmahte hih dingin.

¹⁴Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done therein.

¹⁵Siampu Levi chi, Zadok ta, keia kipana Israel tate a vak mang lai ua ka mun siangthou kemmiten bel ka nasem dingin a hong naih phet ding uh; thau leh sisan lan dingin ka maah a ding ding uh, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁵But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yahweh:

¹⁶Ka mun siangthou ah a lut ding ua, na honsep sak ding in ka dohkan a honnaih ding ua, kei honkemmiin a pang ding uh.

¹⁶they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.

¹⁷Huan, huang sungnungjaw kongpitea a lut un puannaktual malngatin a kithuam ding ua, huang sungnungjaw leh in sung lama na a sep sung un samul puan a silh ding uh ahi kei hi.

¹⁷It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

¹⁹When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.

²⁰A lute uh a met giau ding uh ahi keia; a sam uh leng a hawi sau ding uh ahi sam kei; a met lel ding uh ahi.

²⁰Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.

²¹Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

²²Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

²³Ka mite thil siangthou leh siangthoulou kibatlouhdan a hilh ding uh ahi; thil siang leh siang lou a khentuam sak ding uhi.

²⁶After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.

²⁷Huang sungnungjawa mun siangthoua nasem dinga mun siangthoua a lut niin khelh jiaka kithoihna amah adingin a lan ding ahi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

²⁷In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the Lord Yahweh.

²⁸Goutan bangmah a neikei ding ua; a goutan uh tuh keimah ka hi ding. Israel ah tan bangmah na pe ding uh ahi kei, a tan uh keimah ka hi.

²⁸They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
