And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.

2 Tedae anih im lamloh coe tih a caeh van coeng atah hlang tloe hut la om coeng.

And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;

3 A va pabae long khaw a hnoel bal atah yuuhlak ca te daek pah tih a kut dongah tloeng pah phoeiah a im lamloh tueih cakhaw, amah yuu la anih aka lo a va pabae loh duek mai cakhaw,

and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;

the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.

5 A thai la yuu aka lo hlang loh caempuei taengah nuen boel lamtah a pum dongah bitat pakhat khaw phuei boel saeh. Kum khat tah amah im ah ommongsitoe la om saeh lamtah a yuu a loh te a kohoe puei saeh.

And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

6 Kuelhsum neh leng khaw laikoi boeh, teka te a hinglu ni na laikoi.

You shall not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.

And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.

If your neighbour owe you a debt, any debt whatever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
