You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,

for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
3 Tueilaehkoi boeih tah ca boeh.
You must not eat any detestable thing.
4 Rhamsa dongah he vaito, tu dongkah boiva neh maae dongkah boiva,

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
7 Tedae canaih aka naih neh khomae aka rhak tih aka rhek khuiah he he ca uh boeh. Kalauk, saveh neh saphih he caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,
8 Ok he a khomae rhak dae caknaih a tal dongah nangmih ham rhalawt. A saa te ca uh boeh, a rhok te khaw ben uh boeh.
as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.
9 Tui dongah aka om boeih lamkah na caak uh koi lamtah, a pum dongah a phae neh a lip aka om boeih te na caak uh thai.
Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
10 A pum dongah a phae neh a lip aka om pawt boeih tah nangmih ham rhalawt, ca uh boeh.

20 Aka cuem vaa boeih te tah na caak uh thai.
But you may eat any clean bird.
21 Maehrhok boeih ke ca uh boeh. Na vongka khuiah aka om yinlai te pae lamtah ca mai saeh. Te pawt atah kholong taeng lam khaw yoi mai. Nang tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah pilnam cim la na om dongah boiva ca te a manu suktui dongah thong thil boeh.
You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22 Kum khat kum khat ah khohmuen lamkah aka thoeng na cangti a vueithaih boeih te parha pakhat la na duen rhoe na duen ni.
You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
23 Na cangpai, na misur thai, na situi parha pakhat khaw, na saelhung neh na boiva cacuek khaw, a ming phuk thil ham a tuek hmuen kah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na caak ni. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen te hnin takuem ah rhih ham na cang pueng eh.
And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 Tedae namah taeng lamloh longpuei sen tih amah ming phuk thil ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh a coelh hmuen te namah lamloh a hlavak dongah khuen hamla a coeng pawt oeh atah, BOEIPA na Pathen kah yoethen paek te tangka la khueh.
But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,
25 Te phoeiah tangka te namah kut dongah yom lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh hmuen la caeh puei.
then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
26 Te vaengah na hinglu loh a nai sarhui boeih dongkah ham tangka te hnonah. Saelhung khaw, boiva misur khaw, yu khaw na hinglu neh na hoe boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah ca lamtah namah neh na imkhuikho loh na kohoe sakuh.
Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.
27 Na vongka khuikah Levi khaw hnoo boeh. Anih te nang taengah khoyo neh rho a khueh moenih.
And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
28 Kum thum a thok kum kah na cangah parha pakhat boeih te na khuen vetih na vongka khuiah na tung ni.
At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.
29 Na khuiah khaw a taengah khoyo neh rho aka mueh tah Levi khaw, na vongka khuikah yinlai khaw, cadah neh nuhmai khaw, ha kun mai khaming. Te vaengah ca uh saeh lamtah cung uh saeh. Te daengah ni na kut dongkah bitat na saii boeih te na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang yoethen m'paek eh.
Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.
