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

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
4 Kai kah laitloeknah he ngai uh lamtah ka khosing te vai ham ngaithuen uh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen Yahweh ni.
My judgments shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you:

And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.

Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the homeborn, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you:

(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is 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.

For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
