Olrhaepnah 22
1 Na manuca kah vaito khaw, a tu khaw a tloeng tena hmuh vaengah thuh pah boeh. Na manuca taengah thak rhoe la thak.
If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.
2 Te dongah nang te na manuca neh na yoei pawt tih anih te na ming pawt atah namah im khui la khuen lamtah na manuca loh han tlap tih anih taenglana bal hil namah taengah om saeh.
If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him.
3 Te vanbangla a laak khaw saii pah lamtah a himbai khaw saiipah. Te phoeiah na manuca kah hnohma boeih khawte tlamte saiipah. Anih taengkahaka hma tena hmuh atah om vapsa hamla ngaih boeh.
Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.
4 Na manuca kah laak khaw, a vaito khaw long aha cungku tena hmuh lalah te lamkahte thuhuh boeh. Anih te thoh rhoela thoh puei.
If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.
5 Tongpa kah hnopaite huta pum dongla om boel saeh lamtah huta himbaite tongpaloh bai boel saeh. Te tla aka saii boeihte BOEIPA na Pathenkaha tueilaehkoi ni.
It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.
6 Na mikhmuh kah long taengah thing boeih dongah khaw, diklai dongah vaa bu khaw, vapuel neha duei khaw a tong mai ni. Tedae vapuel so neha duei soahaka oia manu khaw a manu te a ca neh lo boeh.
If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:
7 Vapuel te namah hamna lo mai cakhawa manu tah hlah rhoe hlah. Te daengahni namah ham khaw then vetihna hinglunga vang eh.
See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.
8 Im thaina sak atah na imphu ah longkhawnna saii ni. Te daengahni te lamkahaka cungkuloh cungku cakhaw na imphu kah hlang thiina yook pawt eh.
If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.
9 Na misuraka coomte tue boeh. Cangtiina tuhkaha thaihhmin neh misur thaih te na poeih ve.
Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.
10 Vaito neh laak te hmaih bok boeh.
Do not do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.
11 Tumul neh hlamika yaepte hmaih bai boeh.
Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen together.
12 Na himbai dongkah a hmoi pali dongah namah loh sihno bang lamtah bai.
On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.
13 Hlang pakhat loh yuua loh tiha kun thil coeng daea hmuhuet dongah,
If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,
14 a olka, a khoboe khaw a yuu taengah a tloe la vik a khueh mai ni. Te phoeiah anih te ming thae phueih sak ham a ngaih tih, “Hekah huta he ka loh tih a taengla ka kun vaengah anih hea cuemnah ka hmuh moenih,” a ti thai.
And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:
15 Te vaengah hula te hula amah kah a napa neh a manuloh lo saeh. Te phoeiah hula te hula kah cuemnah neh khopuei vongka kah patongrhoek taengah thak saeh.
Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:
16 Te vaengah hulakaha napaloh patongrhoek taengah, “Hekah hlang taengaha yuu la ka canu ka paek dae vik a hnoel.
And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;
17 Te dongaha khoboe neh ola saii tih, “Na canu tea cuemnah ka hmu pawh,” a ti tarha. Tedae ka canukaha cuemnah tah he pawn ni,” ti saeh lamtah khopuei patongrhoek kah mikhmuh ah himbaite phaih uh saeh.
And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.
18 Te vaengah tekah hlang te khopuei patong rhoek loh lo uh saeh lamtah toel uh saeh.
Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;
19 Anih loh Israel oila te ming thaea phueih sak dongah tangka yakhat neh sah sak uh saeh lamtah hulakaha napa te pae uh saeh. Te daengah anih yuu la om vetih a hing tue khuiah anihte tueih hamlaa noeng pawt eh.
They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
20 Tedae olka he oltak la omtih hula kah hulaa cuemnah te a hmuhuh pawt mai ni.
But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,
21 Te vaengah hula te a napa im kah thohka taengla khuen uh saeh. Te phoeiah anihte khopuei kah tongpa rhoek loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. A napa imkaha cukhalh neh Israel khuiah boethae halanga saii. Te dongah boethae na khui lamloh khoe.
Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.
22 Valoh a yuunah tangtae huta te tongpaloh a yalh puei vaengaha uum atah hlang yuu taengahaka yalh tongpa khaw huta khaw a boktlap la duek saeh. Te dongah boethae tah Israelkhui lamloh khoe.
If a man is taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away the evil from Israel.
23 Hula tanu oilate tongpa hama bae pah coeng dae khopuei khuikah tongpa pakhat loh a hmuh tiha yalh puei mai ni.
If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;
24 Te vaengah amih rhoi te khopuei vongka la khuenuh. Tekah dumlai dongah hula tanu long khaw khopuei khuiah pang kangna boel saeh. Tongpa khaw a huikaha yuu te dumlai laa puei dongah lungto neh daeuh lamtah duek saeh. Te dongah boethae tah na khui lamloh khoeuh.
Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.
25 Hlang loh a bae tangtae hula te tongpa pakhat loh kohong aha uum mai ni. Te vaengah tongpaloh anih tea paco tiha yalh puei atah anihaka yalh puei tongpa amah bueng mah dawk duek saeh.
But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;
26 Tedae hula taengah tah dumlai saii boeh. A duek ham tueng tholhnah khaw hula taengahaom moenih. Tongpaloh a huia tlai thil tih a hinglua ngawn pah vanbangla tahae kah dumlai he khaw om van.
Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:
27 A bae tangtae hula tanute kohong aha uumtih tekah hulaloh a pang thil lalah anih tea rhun moenih.
For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.
28 A bae hlan hula, tanu, oilate tongpaloh a uum tiha tuuk mai ni. Te vaengah aniha yalh pueia uumuh mai ni.
If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;
29 Te vaengah hulakaha napa te hulaaka yalh puei tongpaloh tangka sawmnga neh sah saeh. Tedae anih te a puei coeng dongah anih yuu la om saeh. Amah tue khuiah tah anihte hlak hamla a coeng moenih.
Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.
30 Tongpaloh a napakaha yuu te rhawt boel saeh lamtah a napakaha mul khaw nawn pah boel saeh.
A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.
