Thothuengnah 18
1 Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai tah BOEIPA na Pathen ni.
Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
3 Egypt kho ah na om uh vaengkah bibi bangla saii uh boeh. Te phoeiah kai loh nangmih kam pha sak Kanaan kho kah khoboe bangla om uh boel lamtah amih kah khosing te awt uh boeh.
You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
4 Kai kah laitloeknah he ngai uh lamtah ka khosing te vai ham ngaithuen uh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen Yahweh ni.
But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
5 Te dongah kai kah khosing aka ngaithuen tih ka laitloeknah aka ngai hlang te tah tekah khosing dongah hing van ni. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
6 Hlang la aka om hlang long tah amah kah a pum a saa boeih te ayah hliphen ham paan boel saeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
8 Na pa yuu kah a yah, na pa kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh.
And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
9 Na ngannu, na pa kah a ngannu, na nu kah a tanu kah a yah khaw, im kah pacaboeina neh kholong kah pacaboeina yah khaw hliphen boeh.
You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
10 Na capa canu neh na canu canu kah a yah khaw namah kah a yah la a om boeiloeih dongah amih kah a yah te hliphen boeh.
You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
11 Na pa yuu canu kah a yah khaw, na pa kah pacaboeina, na ngannu kah a yah khaw hliphen boeh.
Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
15 Na langa kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh. Na ca yuu kah a yah khaw hliphen pah boeh.
Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
16 Na manuca yuu kah a yah, na manuca kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh.
You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
17 Na yuu neh a canu, a capa canu neh a canu canu kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh. Na thii na saa kah a yah hliphen pah ham lo boeh. Te bang te khonuen rhamtat ni.
You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
18 Na yuu amah a hing lalah a yah hliphen pah ham neh daengdaeh ham a tanu te lo boeh.
And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
19 Te phoeiah huta te a ti a hnai neh pumom tue vaengah a yah hliphen pah ham paan boeh.
And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 tongpa puei khaw huta thingkong bangla yalh puei boeh. Te ta tueilaehkoi ni.
You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
23 Rhamsa khat khat neh aka poeih uh ham khaw na tamtah khueh boeh. Huta long khaw rhamsa neh pitpom tih, anih kui hamla duen boel saeh.
And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
24 He boeih nen he poeih uh boeh. Namtom rhoek khaw he boeih nen he a poeih uh dongah ni nangmih mikhmuh ah ka haek.
Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
25 Khohmuen pataeng a poeih uh dongah amah kathaesainah te ka cawh pah tih, khohmuen kah khosa rhoek khaw a lok thil.
And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
26 Tedae nangmih loh ka khosing neh ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen uh. Te dongah te bang tueilaehkoi boeih te tolrhum mupoe long khaw, nangmih taengah aka bakuep yinlai long khaw saii boel saeh.
So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
27 Nangmih mikhmuh kah tolrhum hlang rhoek loh he rhoek kah tueilaehkoi boeih he a saii uh dongah khohmuen khaw a poeih uh.
(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )
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.
So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there 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 all those who do any of these disgusting things will 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.
So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
