< Olrhaepnah 23 >
1 A boengha dongah aka hi khaw, yang ngun khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah kun boel saeh.
No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2 Halhca khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah kun boel saeh. A khong parha due khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah anih te kun boel saeh.
No one of illegitimate birth shall enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD.
3 Ammoni neh Moab khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah kun boel saeh. Amih te a khong parha due khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah a kum a hal kun boel saeh.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of the LORD forever:
4 Egypt lamkah na lo vaengkah longpueng ah tui neh buh neh nang n'doe uh pawt dongah ol te ana om coeng. Te vaengah nang thaephoei thil ham Aramnaharaim Pethor lamkah Beor capa Balaam te a paang coeng.
because they did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram Naharaim, to curse you.
5 Tedae Balaam ol hnatun ham te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a huem moenih. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'lungnah dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh rhunkhuennah te nang ham yoethennah la a maelh.
Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 Amih kah ngaimongnah neh a hnothen te na hing tue khuiah kumhal duela na tlap mahpawh.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 Edom he tuei boeh, anih tah na manuca ni. A kho ah yinlai la na om coeng dae Egypt loh nang n'tuei moenih.
You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Anih kah ca a sak te a khong thum due khaw BOEIPA kah hlangping taengah kun uh van saeh.
The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD.
9 Na thunkha taengah lambong la na khoong mai cakhaw a thae hno boeih te tah tuem.
When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
10 Khoyin kah tamtah lamloh cuemcaih la aka om pawh hlang ni na khuiah a om atah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la cet saeh lamtah lambong lakli la kun boel saeh.
If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp:
11 Tedae ana om saeh lamtah hlaem a pha vaengah tui neh sil saeh. Khomik a tlak vaengah rhaehhmuen khui la kun saeh.
but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 Rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah namah ham a hmuen pakhat om saeh lamtah tekah vongvoel hmuen lam ni yunpham na thak eh.
You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go outside there;
13 Te vaengah hlingcong te namah ham na kutpom la om saeh. Poeng la na ngol van vaengah te nen te too lamtah na mael vaengah na natcaeh te vuei.
and you shall have a spade among your tools; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn and cover that which comes from you:
14 Nang aka huul ham neh na thunkha rhoek khaw na mikhmuh ah aka tloeng ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh na lambong lakli la a pongpa oeh dongah na rhaehhmuen khaw a cimcaih la om saeh lamtah yah hno he na khuiah hmu boel saeh. Nang taeng lamloh vik mangthong ve.
for the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
15 A boei taeng lamloh nang taengla aka huul uh sal te a boei taengla koep pae boeh.
You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:
16 Na khui kah hmuen pakhat la namah taengah khosa saeh. Te te na vongka pakhat ah a coelh coeng. Anih te a then la khueh lamtah amah khaw vuelvaek boeh.
he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.
17 Israel iola rhoek khui lamloh hlanghalh om boel saeh lamtah Israel ca khui lamkah long khaw hlanghalh om boel saeh.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sacred male prostitute of the children of Israel.
18 Olcaeng khat khat dongah pumyoih paang neh ui phu he BOEIPA na Pathen im la khuen boeh. Te rhoi te BOEIPA na Pathen kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
19 Hno cungkuem dongah a casai na bawn vaengah tangka kah a casai khaw, caak kah a casai khaw na manuca taengah tah bawn boeh.
You shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:
20 Kholong taengah na bawn mai cakhaw na manuca taengah tah bawn boeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh pang hamla na kun thil khohmuen ah na kut thuengnah boeih dongah nang te yoethen m'paek eh.
to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
21 BOEIPA na Pathen taengah olcaeng neh na caeng coeng atah na paek ham te uelh boeh. Namah te BOEIPA na Pathen loh n'cae n'cae vetih namah soah tholhnah la om ve.
When you shall vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Tedae caeng ham te na rhael atah na soah tholhnah khaw om van mahpawh.
But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23 Na hmuilai lamkah aka thoeng te ngaithuen lamtah na ka neh kothoh la na thui tih BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na caeng bangla saii.
That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to the LORD your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised with your mouth.
24 Na hui kah misurdum la na kun mai ni. Te vaengah misur te na hah hil na hinglu loh ca mai saeh. Tedae na hnopai khuila sang boeh.
When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.
25 Na hui kah canghli la na caeh vaengah na kut neh cangvuei na yun mai cakhaw na hui kah canghli ah vin thueng boeh.
When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
