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.
If there be a controversy between men, and they call upon the judges: they shall give the prize of justice to him whom they perceive to be just: and him whom they find to be wicked, they shall condemn of wickedness.
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.
And if they see that the offender be worthy of stripes: they shall lay him down, and shall cause him to be beaten before them. According to the measure of the sin shall the measure also of the stripes be:
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.
Yet so, that they exceed not the number of forty: lest thy brother depart shamefully torn before thy eyes.
4 Vaito khaw cang a til vaengah a ka poi pah boeh.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out thy corn on the floor.
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 dieth without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry to another: but his brother shall take her, and raise up seed for his 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 the first son he shall have of her he shall call by his name, that his name be not abolished 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.
But if he will not take his brother’s wife, who by law belongeth to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and call upon the ancients, and say: My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up his brother’s name in Israel: and will not take me to wife.
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 they shall cause him to be sent for forthwith, and shall ask him. If he answer: I will not take her to wife:
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.
The woman shall come to him before the ancients, and shall take off his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and say: So shall it be done to the man that will not build up his brother’s house:
10 Te dongah anih ming te Israel khuikah khokhom aka dul imkhui la khue uh saeh.
And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of the unshod.
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.
If two men have words together, and one begin to fight against the other, and the other’s wife willing to deliver her husband out of the hand of the stronger, shall put forth her hand, and take him by the secrets,
12 a kut te tloek pah lamtah na mik long khaw rhen boel saeh.
Thou shalt cut off her hand, neither shalt thou be moved with any pity in her regard.
13 Na sungsa khuikah aka om lungcang pakhat neh pakhat te khaw a yit a len om boel saeh.
Thou shalt not have divers weights in thy bag, a greater and a less:
14 Na im khuikah na cangnoek te khaw cangnoek a yit a len om boel saeh.
Neither shall there be in thy house a greater bushel and a less.
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 shalt have a just and a true weight, and thy bushel shall be equal and true: that thou mayest live a long time upon the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
16 Te dumlai aka vai neh aka saii boeih tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
For the Lord thy God abhorreth him that doth these things, and he hateth all injustice.
17 Egypt lamkah na lo tih longpueng ah Amalek loh nang soah a saii te poek lah.
Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when thou camest out of 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.
How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not 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.
Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou forget it not.
