Deuteronomy 14
1 Nangcae loe na Angraeng Sithaw ih caa ah na oh o; kadueh kami hanah, ngan to aat hmah loe, na mik salak ih hma sam doeh aat hmah.
Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 Nangcae loe na Angraeng Sithaw han ciimcai kami ah na oh o; long kaminawk boih thungah, Angraeng mah angmah ih kami ah suek hanah, nangcae to qoih boeh.
For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth.
3 Panuet thok hmuen kawbaktih doeh caa hmah.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 Na caak han ih moinawk loe maitaw, tuu hoi maeh,
These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 Tasuk, tasuk kalen, sakhi, sathar, taw ih maeh, saza hoi mae nui ih tuunawk,
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 moi thungah a khokpadae hnetto kangbawk, rawkcak pathok thaih moinawk to caa oh.
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
7 Rawkcak loe pathok thaih, toe khokpadae kangbawk moi thungah, kaengkuu hrang, saveh hoi kanghmong thlungkhaw thungah kaom moinawk to caa o hmah; to moinawk loe rawkcak pathok o thaih, toe a khok hnetto angbawk ai pongah, nangcae hanah ciim ai.
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean unto you.
8 Ok loe a khok hnetto angbawk, toe rawkcak pathok ai pongah, nangcae han ciim ai; a moi to caa o hmah, kadueh qok doeh sui o hmah.
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
9 Tui thungah kaom moinawk boih thungah, pakhraeh hoi ahlip kaom tanganawk to caa oh.
These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 Toe pakhraeh hoi ahlip kaom ai tanganawk to loe caa o hmah; nangcae han ciim ai.
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean unto you.
11 Kaciim tavaanawk to na caak o boih thaih.
[Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 Toe tahmu, tahmu prawn, moi caa kamnum tahmu prawnnawk,
But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 tahmu, masih hoi tahmu congcanawk boih,
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 pangaah tavaanawk boih,
And every raven after his kind,
15 bukbuh, tahnongsawk tui tavaa, aqum ah tavaa kacop thaih tahmunawk,
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 kathoeng hoi kalen bukbuh tavaa boih, tahnongsawk tui tavaanawk,
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 praezaek ih bukbuh, tanga kacaa tahmu, tahnong ah rawkcak patunghaih kaom tavaanawk,
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 tahmawh sawk tui tavaa, akhok sawk moe, tahnong angkawn tavaa hoi pungpihnawk to caa o hmah.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Pakhraeh kaom, kavak hinghaih tawn hmuennawk loe nangcae han ciim ai pongah caa o hmah.
And every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Toe kaciim tavaanawk boih to caa oh.
[But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
21 Nangcae loe na Angraeng Sithaw han ciimcai kami ah na oh o pongah, kadueh qok to caa o hmah; na vangpui thungah kaom angvin caak hanah paek oh; to tih ai boeh loe kalah kaminawk khaeah zaw oh; maeh caa loe amno ih tahnutui hoiah nawnto thong o hmah.
Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
22 Na lawk thung hoi saning kruek tacawt thingthai qumponawk to, hato thungah maeto paek oh.
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 Hato thungah maeto paek ih cang, misrutui hoi situi, tapen tangsuek maitawnawk hoi tuucaanawk to, angmah ih ahmin ohsak hanah, a qoih ih ahmuen ah na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah caa oh; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw to dungzan ah zit hanah nam tuk o thai tih.
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
24 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek naah, Angraeng angmah ih ahmin to suek hanah, qoih ih ahmuen loe angthla parai pongah, hato thungah maeto na sin o thai ai nahaeloe,
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25 hato thungah maeto paek ih hmuen to phoisa hoiah zaw oh; phoisa to sin oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah qoih ih ahmuen ah caeh oh;
Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
26 to phoisa hoiah na koeh ih hmuen to qan ah; na caak koeh ih maitaw maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu caa, to tih ai boeh loe misurtui maw, to tih ai boeh loe kalah naek koi tui maw, to tih ai boeh loe na koeh ih hmuen to na qan pacoengah, nangmacae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah, nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih nawnto caa oh loe, kanawm ah om oh.
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 Na vangpui thungah kaom Levinawk loe, nangcae salakah taham tawn o ai moe, qawk doeh toep o ai pongah, nihcae to pahnawt o sut hmah.
And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 Saning thumto boeng pacoengah, saning kruek na sin o ih hato thungah maeto loe, nangmacae ih vangpui thungah suem oh;
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy gates:
29 to naah nangcae salakah taham katawn ai, qawk doeh toep ai Levinawk, angvinnawk, na vangpui thungah kaom ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk angzo o ueloe, zok kamhah ah caa o tih; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na ban hoiah sak ih hmuennawk boih ah tahamhoihaih paek tih.
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
