< Olrhaepnah 25 >
1 Hlang rhoi laklo ah tuituknah a om atah laitloeknah la thoeih rhoi saeh lamtah amih rhoi ham laitloek pa uh saeh. Te vaengah aka dueng te tang sak uh saeh lamtah aka halang te boe sak uh saeh.
'When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh unto the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrong-doer,
2 Aka halang tah a boh ca hamla om ni. Te vaengah aka halang te lai aka tloek loh bakop sak saeh lamtah a halangnah tarhing neh a ting la a mikhmuh ah taam saeh.
then it hath come to pass, if the wrong-doer is to be smitten, that the judge hath caused him to fall down, and [one] hath smitten him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrong-doing, by number;
3 Anih te voei sawmli lakah a pueh la taam boeh. A pueh la na taam tih hmasoe yet koinih na manuca te na mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng la om ve.
forty [times] he doth smite him — he is not adding, lest, he is adding to smite him above these — many stripes, and thy brother is lightly esteemed in thine eyes.
4 Vaito khaw cang a til vaengah a ka poi pah boeh.
'Thou dost not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
5 Manuca thikat la om uh tih amih khuikah pakhat te ca a om mueh la a duek atah aka duek kah a yuu te imlang kah kholong hlang loh lo boel saeh. Anih te a vahoi rhoek loh kun thil saeh. Amah yuu la lo saeh lamtah yucanah saeh.
'When brethren dwell together, and one of them hath died, and hath no son, the wife of the dead is not without to a strange man; her husband's brother doth go in unto her, and hath taken her to him for a wife, and doth perform the duty of her husband's brother;
6 Te vaengah caming a cun loh a manuca aka duek ming te thoh pah saeh. Te daengah ni anih ming khaw Israel khui lamloh a hmata pawt eh.
and it hath been, the first-born which she beareth doth rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
7 Tekah hlang loh a maya yuu te loh ham a ngaih pawt atah a maya yuu khaw vongka khuikah patong rhoek taengah puen saeh lamtah, “Israel khuiah a manuca ming thoh pah ham neh kai yucanah ham a aal tih kai yucanah ham a huem moenih,” ti nah saeh.
'And if the man doth not delight to take his brother's wife, then hath his brother's wife gone up to the gate, unto the elders, and said, My husband's brother is refusing to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he hath not been willing to perform the duty of my husband's brother;
8 Te phoeiah khopuei patong rhoek loh anih te khue uh saeh lamtah amah te dawt uh saeh. Tedae ning mangkhak tih, “Anih loh ham ka ngaih moenih,” a ti atah,
and the elders of his city have called for him, and spoken unto him, and he hath stood and said, I have no desire to take her;
9 a maya yuu khaw patong rhoek kah mikhmuh ah anih taengla thoeih saeh lamtah a kho dongkah khokhom te dul pah saeh. A maelhmai te a timthoeih pah phoeiah doo saeh lamtah, “A manuca kah im aka thoh pawt hlang te he tlam he saii pah kangna saeh,” ti nah saeh.
'Then hath his brother's wife drawn nigh unto him, before the eyes of the elders, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who doth not build up the house of his brother;
10 Te dongah anih ming te Israel khuikah khokhom aka dul imkhui la khue uh saeh.
and his name hath been called in Israel — The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
11 Hlang rhoek te hlang pakhat neh a manuca khaw rhenten hnuei uh thae mai ni. Te vaengah a hlang te anih aka ngawn kut lamloh huul hamla pakhat yuu te ha pawk mai ni. Te vaengah a yuu loh a kut a yueng tih a yah te a thoh atah.
'When men strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one hath drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his smiter, and hath put forth her hand, and laid hold on his secrets,
12 a kut te tloek pah lamtah na mik long khaw rhen boel saeh.
then thou hast cut off her hand, thine eye doth not spare.
13 Na sungsa khuikah aka om lungcang pakhat neh pakhat te khaw a yit a len om boel saeh.
'Thou hast not in thy bag a stone and a stone, a great and a small.
14 Na im khuikah na cangnoek te khaw cangnoek a yit a len om boel saeh.
Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.
15 Na coilung te a rhuemtuet neh a duengnah om saeh lamtah na cangnoek khaw a rhoeh khoeng neh a thuem balh la om saeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek khohmuen ah na hinglung a vang eh.
Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;
16 Te dumlai aka vai neh aka saii boeih tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these things, any one doing iniquity.
17 Egypt lamkah na lo tih longpueng ah Amalek loh nang soah a saii te poek lah.
'Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt,
18 Longpuei ah nang m'mah tih nang lamkah lamhnuk boeih te nang hnukah a tloek. Na buhmueh rhathih neh na bonghnaek vaengah Pathen khaw a rhih moenih.
that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
19 Tedae nang taengah rho la pang sak ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh m'paek khohmuen kaepvai kah na thunkha rhoek boeih kut lamkah te BOEIPA na Pathen loh n'khoem bitni. Te vaengah Amalek poekkoepnah te vaan hmui lamloh khoe ham hnilh boeh.
And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God's giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget.
