Olrhaepnah 14
1 Nangmih tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah koca rhoek ni. Aka duek ham na saa hlap pah boeh. Na mik rhoi laklo te lungawng la khueh boeh.
You are the people of Yahweh your God. Do not cut yourselves, nor shave any part of your face for 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 nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, more than all peoples that are on the surface of the earth.
3 Tueilaehkoi boeih tah ca boeh.
You must not eat any abominable thing.
4 Rhamsa dongah he vaito, tu dongkah boiva neh maae dongkah boiva,
These are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 rhangrhaeh kirhang neh sayuk, sathai, sayaa, cuung neh tlang kah tu te ca uh.
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, and ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 Khomae aka rhak rhamsa boeih khuiah khaw a khomae rhoi laklo kah a khorhaek aka rhak tih caknaih aka naih rhamsa khuikah te mah ca uh.
You may eat any animals that parts the hoof, that is, that has the 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.
Nevertheless, you must not eat some animals that chew the cud or that have the hoof divided in two: the camel, the rabbit, and the rock badger; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are 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 is unclean to you as well because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud; he is unclean to you. Do not eat pig meat, and do 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.
Of these things that are in water you may eat: whatever has fins and scales;
10 A pum dongah a phae neh a lip aka om pawt boeih tah nangmih ham rhalawt, ca uh boeh.
but whatever has no fins and scales you must not eat; they are unclean to you.
11 Vaa boeih khuiah aka caih te na caak uh thai.
All clean birds you may eat.
12 Tedae atha, langta neh thamuk,
But these are the birds that you must not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
13 khangkham, maisi, neh valae kah a hui boeih,
the red kite and black kite, any kind of falcon.
14 vangak boeih neh anih hui boeih,
You must not eat any kind of raven,
15 tuirhuk, vanu, kirhoeng, khangkhoe, mutlo neh anih hui boeih,
and the ostrich, and the night hawk, the sea gull, any kind of hawk,
16 thathawt, saelbu, abuu,
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17 khosoek saelbu, tamcu, tuiliim,
the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant.
18 bungrho, kaikoi neh anih hui boeih, thongpanai neh pumphak te ca uh boeh.
You must not eat the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 Vaa bangla aka om rhulcai boeih khaw nangmih ham rhalawt. Te te ca uh boeh.
All winged, swarming things are unclean to you; they must not be eaten.
20 Aka cuem vaa boeih te tah na caak uh thai.
You may eat all clean flying things.
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 must not eat of anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the foreigner who is within your towns, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God. You must not boil 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 surely tithe all the yield of your seed, that which comes out from the field year after year.
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.
You must eat before Yahweh your God, in the place that he will choose as his sanctuary, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock; that you may learn to always honor Yahweh your God.
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.
If the journey is too long for you so that you are not able to carry it, because the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary is too far from you, then, when Yahweh God blesses you,
25 Te phoeiah tangka te namah kut dongah yom lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh hmuen la caeh puei.
you will convert the offering into money, tie up the money in your hand, and go to the place that Yahweh 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 sak uh.
There you will spend the money for whatever you desire: for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever you desire; you will eat there before Yahweh your God, and you will rejoice, you and your household.
27 Na vongka khuikah Levi khaw hnoo boeh. Anih te nang taengah khoyo neh rho a khueh moenih.
The Levite who is within your gates—do not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with 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 you will present all the tithe of your produce in the same year, and you will store 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.
and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates, will come and eat and be satisfied. Do this so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand that you do.
