“Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.
2 BOEIPA na Pathen kah pilnam cim la na om uh dongah diklai hman kah pilnam boeih khuiah pilnam lungthen bangla amah hut la om ham ni BOEIPA loh nang n'coelh.
For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth.
3 Tueilaehkoi boeih tah ca boeh.
You shall not eat the things that are unclean.
4 Rhamsa dongah he vaito, tu dongkah boiva neh maae dongkah boiva,
These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5 rhangrhaeh kirhang neh sayuk, sathai, sayaa, cuung neh tlang kah tu te ca uh.
the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.

Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.
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 those which chew over again, but do not have a divided hoof, you must not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the hyrax. Since these chew the cud, but do not have a divided the hoof, they shall be unclean to 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.
The pig also, since it has a divided hoof, but does not chew over again, shall be unclean. Their flesh shall not be eaten, and you shall not touch their carcasses.
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.

But whatever has died of itself, you shall not eat from it. Give it to the sojourner, who is within your gates, so that he may eat, or sell it to him. For you are the holy people of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of his mother.
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.
Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.
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 shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.
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 when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it,
25 Te phoeiah tangka te namah kut dongah yom lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh hmuen la caeh puei.
you shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord 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.
And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: you and your household.
27 Na vongka khuikah Levi khaw hnoo boeh. Anih te nang taengah khoyo neh rho a khueh moenih.
As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.
28 Kum thum a thok kum kah na cangah parha pakhat boeih te na khuen vetih na vongka khuiah na tung ni.
In the third year, you shall separate another tenth part of all the things which spring forth for you at that time, and you shall store it 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.
And the Levite, who has no other portion or possession with you, and the sojourner as well as the orphan and the widow who are within your gates, shall approach and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands which you shall do.”
