Olrhaepnah 21
1 BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang kah a pang la m'paek khohmuen kah kohong ahaka yalh rhok te a hmuh dae anihte uloh a ngawn khaw a mingpha pawt atah,
If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath smitten him;
2 Namah kah patongrhoek neh na laitloek rhoekte cet uh saeh lamtah rhok taeng lamkah loh khopuei duela nueh uh saeh.
then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain.
3 Te vaengah rhok neha yoei la aka om khopuei kah khopuei patong rhoek loh saelhung khuikah hnamkunaka mawt pawt tih aka thotat pawh vaitola te lo uh saeh.
And it shall be, that the city which is nearest unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke.
4 Te phoeiah vaitola te khopuei patong rhoek loh a khuiaha thotat pawt tiha tawn pawh soklong puei la suntlak puei saeh. Te phoeiah vaito te soklong ah pahoi top uh saeh.
And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which may neither be plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.
5 Te vaengah amah kah bibi ham neh BOEIPA ming dongah yoethen aka pae ham BOEIPA na Pathenloh a coelh Levi koca khosoih rhoekte thoeih uh saeh lamtah tuituknah cungkuem neh nganbokyoknah cungkuemaka om te ol khueh thil uh saeh.
And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near — for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto Him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.
6 Rhok nehaka yoei khopuei kah patongrhoek boeih long khaw soklong kaha ah vaito te a kut silh thil uh saeh.
And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
7 Te phoeiah doo uh saeh lamtah, “Kaimih kut ah hlang thii he long rhoe la long pawt tih kaimih mik long khaw a hmuh moenih.
And they shall speak and say: 'Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
8 Aw BOEIPA na pilnam lana lat Israel he tholh han dawthpah. Ommongsitoe thiiloh na pilnam Israel lakli la coe sak boel lamtah hlang thii khui lamkah loh amih ham khaw dawth la om saeh,” ti uh saeh.
Forgive, O LORD, Thy people Israel, whom Thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood to remain in the midst of Thy people Israel.' And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9 Te dongah namah khui lamkah ommongsitoe thii te namahloh khoe lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh aha thuem la saii.
So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD.
10 Na thunkharhoek taengah caem lana caeh vaengah anihte BOEIPA na Pathenloh na kut dongah han tloeng tih tamna la na sol mai ni.
When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou carriest them away captive,
11 Te vaengah tamna khuikah huta suisak sakthen te na hmuh tihna vencoeng. Te dongahna yuu la lolaeh.
and seest among the captives a woman of goodly form, and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife;
12 Na im khui la khuen. Te phoeiah a lu te vo saeh lamtah a kuttin khaw saii saeh.
then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13 Na imkhui aha om vaengah a pum dongkah a tamna himbai te pit saeh lamtah khohnin hla khat khuiah a manu a napa te rhah dae saeh. Te phoeiah anih tena kun thil tihna yuunah vaengah namah yuu la om van ni.
and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month; and after that thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 Tedae anih tena ngaih pawt tihna tueih coeng atah amah hinglu la om van saeh lamtah tangka lana yoi rhoe na yoi mahpawh. Anih tena khah coeng dongahna kulup sut mai mahpawh.
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her.
15 Hlang pakhat te yuu panit omtih pakhat te alungnah dae pakhat te tah a hnoel. Te vaengaha lungnah a yuu long khaw, a hnoel long khaw anih ham caa sak pah rhoi tiha hnoel kaha capa te a caming la om mai ni.
If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated;
16 Tedae amah taengah aka om te a ca rhoi a pheang tue a pha atah a hnoel huta capa, a caming kah mikhmuh mai ah a lungnah huta kah a capa te a caming la coeng sak boel saeh.
then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born;
17 A hnoelkaha capa caming la hmat saeh lamtah amah taengkaha dang boeih dongah a thaham rhaepnit la pae saeh. A thahuem cuek he caminghamsum kah hamsum van ni.
but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the first-fruits of his strength, the right of the first-born is his.
18 Hlang pakhat taengah capa thinthah om tih a napa ol neh a manu ol te hnatun muehlaa koek mai ni. Anih tea toel rhoi dae te rhoi taengkahte hnatun pawh.
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not hearken to the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;
19 Anih te a manu neh a napaloh mawt saeh lamtahte hmuen vongka kah khopuei patongrhoek taengla khuen saeh.
then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 Te phoeiah a khopuei patongrhoek taengah, “Ka caa thinthah tih ka ola ngai muehlaa koek. Te dongah carhut yumii la om,” ti rhoi saeh.
and they shall say unto the elders of his city: 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he doth not hearken to our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.'
21 Te vaengah anihte khopuei tongpa boeihloh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. Na khui lamkah boethae khaw te tlam te na hnawt daengahni Israel pumloh a yaakuh vetiha rhih uh eh.
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
22 Hlang pakhat te tholhnah kongah dueknah ham laitloeknah om tiha duek vaengah thing donglana kuiok sak mai ni.
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree;
23 a rhokte thing dongah rhaeh sak boeh. Kuiok he Pathen kah rhunkhuennah la a om dongah amah khohnin van vaengah up rhoe uplaeh. Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang taengah rho la m'paek na khohmuen te poeih boeh.
his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is a reproach unto God; that thou defile not thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
