He that is wounded or mutilated in his secrets, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
4 Egypt lamkah na lo vaengkah longpueng ah tui neh buh neh nang n'doeuh pawt dongah ol te ana om coeng. Te vaengah nang thaephoei thil ham Aramnaharaim Pethor lamkah Beor capa Balaam tea paangcoeng.
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth from Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Tedae Balaam ol hnatun hamte BOEIPA na Pathenloh a huem moenih. BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang n'lungnah dongah BOEIPA na Pathenloh rhunkhuennah te nang ham yoethennah laa maelh.
Nevertheless, the LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam: but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

Thou shalt not seek their peace, nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
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.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for he [is] thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.

The children that are begotten by them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

When the host goeth forth against thy enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10 Khoyin kah tamtah lamloh cuemcaih la aka om pawh hlangni na khuiaha om atah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la cet saeh lamtah lambong lakli la kun boel saeh.
If there shall be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth to him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 Tedae ana om saeh lamtah hlaema pha vaengah tui neh sil saeh. Khomika tlak vaengah rhaehhmuen khui la kun saeh.
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp [again].
12 Rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah namah hama hmuen pakhat om saeh lamtah tekah vongvoel hmuen lam ni yunpham na thak eh.
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 Te vaengah hlingcongte namah ham na kutpom la om saeh. Poeng la na ngol van vaengah te nente too lamtahna mael vaengah na natcaeh te vuei.
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon: and it shall be when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig with it, and shalt turn back, and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 Nangaka huul ham neh na thunkharhoekkhaw na mikhmuh ahaka tloeng ham BOEIPA na Pathenloh na lambong lakli laa 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 thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he may see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 A boei taeng lamloh nang taenglaaka huuluh sal te a boei taengla koep pae boeh.
Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant who hath escaped from his master to thee:
16 Na khui kah hmuen pakhat la namah taengah khosa saeh. Tete na vongka pakhat aha coelhcoeng. Anih tea then la khueh lamtah amah khaw vuelvaek boeh.
He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 Israel iola rhoek khui lamloh hlanghalh om boel saeh lamtah Israel cakhui lamkah long khaw hlanghalh om boel saeh.
There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Olcaeng khat khat dongah pumyoih paang neh ui phu he BOEIPA na Pathen im la khuen boeh. Te rhoite BOEIPA na Pathenkaha tueilaehkoi ni.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination to the LORD thy God.
19 Hno cungkuem dongah a casaina bawn vaengah tangkakaha casai khaw, caakkaha casai khaw na manuca taengah tah bawn boeh.
Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest:
20 Kholong taengahna bawn mai cakhaw na manuca taengah tah bawn boeh. Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathenloh pang hamla na kun thil khohmuen ah na kut thuengnah boeih dongah nangte yoethen m'paek eh.
To a stranger thou mayest lend upon interest; but to thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21 BOEIPA na Pathen taengah olcaeng neh na caeng coeng atahna paek hamte uelh boeh. Namah te BOEIPA na Pathen loh n'cae n'cae vetih namah soah tholhnah la om ve.
When thou shalt vow a vow to the LORD thy God, thou shalt not defer to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22 Tedae caeng ham tena rhael atah na soah tholhnah khaw om van mahpawh.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 Na hmuilai lamkah aka thoengte ngaithuen lamtah na ka neh kothoh la na thuitih BOEIPA na Pathen taengahna caeng bangla saii.
That which is uttered by thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a free-will-offering, according as thou hast vowed to the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24 Na hui kah misurdum lana kun mai ni. Te vaengah misurte na hah hil na hingluloh ca mai saeh. Tedae na hnopai khuila sang boeh.
When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest satisfy thy appetite with grapes at thy own pleasure; but thou shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.
25 Na hui kah canghli lana caeh vaengah na kut neh cangvueina yun mai cakhaw na hui kah canghli ah vin thueng boeh.
When thou comest into the standing-corn of thy neighbor, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand: but thou shalt not move a sickle to thy neighbor's standing-corn.
