Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.

Do not defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast out before you:
25 Khohmuen pataeng a poeih uh dongah amah kah thaesainah te ka cawh pah tih, khohmuen kah khosa rhoek khaw a lok thil.
And the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited out its inhabitants.

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you;

(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
28 Te dongah nangmih mikhmuh kah namtom a tha bangla na khohmuen na poeih uh van tih nangmih khaw khohmuen loh n'tha boel saeh.
That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 U hlang khaw he rhoek kah tueilaehkoi hno khat khat a saii atah aka saii hlanghing boeih te pilnam lamkah hnawt saeh.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, — even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Te dongah nangmih mikhmuh kah tueilaehkoi khosing aka saii rhoek te vai pawt ham kamah loh ka kuek te ngaithuen uh. Te daengah ni amih taengah pum te na poeih uh pawt eh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni,” a ti nah.
Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.
