Olrhaepnah 14
1 Nangmih tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah koca rhoek ni. Aka duek ham na saa hlap pah boeh. Na mik rhoi laklo te lungawng la khueh boeh.
You are the children of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 BOEIPA na Pathen kah pilnam cim la na om uh dongah diklai hman kah pilnam boeih khuiah pilnam lungthen bangla amah hut la om ham ni BOEIPA loh nang n'coelh.
For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 Tueilaehkoi boeih tah ca boeh.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Rhamsa dongah he vaito, tu dongkah boiva neh maae dongkah boiva,
These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 rhangrhaeh kirhang neh sayuk, sathai, sayaa, cuung neh tlang kah tu te ca uh.
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Khomae aka rhak rhamsa boeih khuiah khaw a khomae rhoi laklo kah a khorhaek aka rhak tih caknaih aka naih rhamsa khuikah te mah ca uh.
Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
7 Tedae canaih aka naih neh khomae aka rhak tih aka rhek khuiah he he ca uh boeh. Kalauk, saveh neh saphih he caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, they are unclean to you.
8 Ok he a khomae rhak dae caknaih a tal dongah nangmih ham rhalawt. A saa te ca uh boeh, a rhok te khaw ben uh boeh.
The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses.
9 Tui dongah aka om boeih lamkah na caak uh koi lamtah, a pum dongah a phae neh a lip aka om boeih te na caak uh thai.
These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat whatever has fins and scales.
10 A pum dongah a phae neh a lip aka om pawt boeih tah nangmih ham rhalawt, ca uh boeh.
You shall not eat whatever doesn’t have fins and scales. It is unclean to you.
11 Vaa boeih khuiah aka caih te na caak uh thai.
Of all clean birds you may eat.

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,

the red kite, the falcon, the kite of any kind,

18 bungrho, kaikoi neh anih hui boeih, thongpanai neh pumphak te ca uh boeh.
the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 Vaa bangla aka om rhulcai boeih khaw nangmih ham rhalawt. Te te ca uh boeh.
All winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
20 Aka cuem vaa boeih te tah na caak uh thai.
Of all clean birds you may eat.
21 Maehrhok boeih ke ca uh boeh. Na vongka khuiah aka om yinlai te pae lamtah ca mai saeh. Te pawt atah kholong taeng lam khaw yoi mai. Nang tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah pilnam cim la na om dongah boiva ca te a manu suktui dongah thong thil boeh.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22 Kum khat kum khat ah khohmuen lamkah aka thoeng na cangti a vueithaih boeih te parha pakhat la na duen rhoe na duen ni.
You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out of the field year by year.
23 Na cangpai, na misur thai, na situi parha pakhat khaw, na saelhung neh na boiva cacuek khaw, a ming phuk thil ham a tuek hmuen kah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na caak ni. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen te hnin takuem ah rhih ham na cang pueng eh.
You shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he chooses to cause his name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 Tedae namah taeng lamloh longpuei sen tih amah ming phuk thil ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh a coelh hmuen te namah lamloh a hlavak dongah khuen hamla a coeng pawt oeh atah, BOEIPA na Pathen kah yoethen paek te tangka la khueh.
If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there is too far from you, when the LORD your God blesses you,
25 Te phoeiah tangka te namah kut dongah yom lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh hmuen la caeh puei.
then you shall turn it into money, bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose.
26 Te vaengah na hinglu loh a nai sarhui boeih dongkah ham tangka te hnonah. Saelhung khaw, boiva misur khaw, yu khaw na hinglu neh na hoe boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah ca lamtah namah neh na imkhuikho loh na kohoe sakuh.
You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires: for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. You shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27 Na vongka khuikah Levi khaw hnoo boeh. Anih te nang taengah khoyo neh rho a khueh moenih.
You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
28 Kum thum a thok kum kah na cangah parha pakhat boeih te na khuen vetih na vongka khuiah na tung ni.
At the end of every three years you shall bring all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall store it within your gates.
29 Na khuiah khaw a taengah khoyo neh rho aka mueh tah Levi khaw, na vongka khuikah yinlai khaw, cadah neh nuhmai khaw, ha kun mai khaming. Te vaengah ca uh saeh lamtah cung uh saeh. Te daengah ni na kut dongkah bitat na saii boeih te na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang yoethen m'paek eh.
The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living among you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
