Deuteronomy 25
1 Kami hnik loe lok angaek hoi moe, lokcaekkung mah nihnik to lokcaek naah, katoeng kami to loihsak ah loe, kasae kami to danpaek ah,
If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court to be judged, so that the innocent may be acquitted and the guilty condemned.
2 kasae kami to boh han krah nahaeloe, lokcaekkung mah anih to a hmaa ah anghnusak ueloe, a zaehaih kating ah bop tih.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
3 Toe qui palito pong kamthlai ah boh han om ai; kamthlai ah bop nahaeloe, nam nawkamya loe nangcae mikhnuk ah zae kami ah om tih.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
4 Cang atit naah maitaw to tahmawh moem pae caeng hmah.
Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
5 Nawkamya thung ih kami maeto loe caa sah ai ah dueh ving nahaeloe, anih ih zu loe kalah kami khaeah sava sak han om ai; a sava ih amnawk mah anih to zu haih ueloe, a zu khaeah amya mah sak han koi hmuen to koepsak tih.
When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.
6 Israel thung hoiah anghmat han ai ah, a sak hmaloe ih capa nongpa loe kadueh amya ih ahmin to palawk han oh.
The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
7 Toe amya ih zu to zu haih han koeh ai nahaeloe, amya ih zu mah vangpui thung ih kacoehtanawk khaeah caeh ueloe, Ka sava ih amnawk loe Israel kaminawk salakah amya ih ahmin ohsak poe han koeh ai; ka nuiah amya ih toksak han koeh ai, tiah thui tih.
But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
8 To naah vangpui thung ih kacoehtanawk mah anih to kawk o ueloe, anih khaeah lokthui pae o tih; toe to kami mah, Kam ya ih zu lak han ka koeh ai, tiah thui khruek nahaeloe,
Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
9 amya ih zu loe kacoehtanawk hmaa ah anih khaeah caeh ueloe, a khokpanai to khring pae tih, a mikhmai ah tamtui hoi pathoih ueloe, amya ih imthong sak han koeh ai kami loe, hae tiah sak han oh, tiah anih han thui pae tih.
his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
10 To kami loe khokpanai khring pae ih acaeng, tiah Israel kaminawk salakah thui o tih.
And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
11 Nongpa hnetto angpan hoi naah, nongpa maeto ih zu loe bop kami ban thung hoiah a sava loihsak hanah angzoh moe, a sava kabop nongpa ih tangzat to patawn pae caeng nahaeloe,
If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12 to nongpata ih ban to takroek pae pat han oh; anih to tahmen hmah.
you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
13 Kangvan ai hmuen zit tahhaih kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh, pasah thungah nawnto pacaeng hmah.
You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14 Hmuen tahhaih kalen maw, kathoeng maw, hnetto na im ah suem hmaek hmah.
You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
15 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang paek ih prae thungah na hing lung sawk thai hanah, kakoep moe, katoeng hmuen zit tahhaih to patoh ah.
You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16 To tiah amsoem ai hmuen sah kami hoi katoeng ai ah toksah kami loe, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah panuet thoh.
For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
17 Izip prae hoi nang zoh o naah, loklam ah Amalek kaminawk mah na nuiah sak o ih hmuennawk to pahnet o hmah,
Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
18 nangcae tha na zok o sut moe, patang na khang o, Amalek kaminawk loe Sithaw zithaih tawn o ai pongah, loklam ah nangcae to angang moe, nangcae hnukbang kaminawk hoi thacak ai kaminawk to hum o.
how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
19 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah qawk ah paek ih, prae taengah kaom na misanawk boih ban thung hoiah pahlong moe, anghakhaih ang paek o naah, pahnet ving hanah, Amalek kaminawk to van tlim hoiah amrosak boih han oh; na pahnet han om ai.
When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
