1 Pakai, Pathen in napeh'u nachennau gamsunga chu thise khat tou auma, ahivanga hiche thise chu koitha pen ham ti, aki hedoh thei lou aum a,
Someone may be found murdered, lying in a field in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own, and nobody knows who killed them.
2 hitobang dinmun chu aum khah tah a ahileh, na upateu leh vaihom natong chengse chu hung diu, nakhopiu leh akim vel'a khopi chengse chu phatah atetoh soh kei diu ahi.
Your elders and judges must come and measure the distance from the body to the surrounding towns.
3 Hitia chu abol diu thise tohpa umna akona chu, khopi akinaipi pen chu mo kichan ding ahi. Bong ala khat lou natong kha loulai hichu agakai diu ahi.
Then the elders of the town that's found to be nearest to the body shall take a cow that has never been put under a yoke or used for work.
4 Hiche mochanga khopi sung mite chun, bongla chu phaicham lah khat a ahin kai diu, hiche phaicham chu lou natohnaa kimang khalou hi ding, phaicham muna chu bongla gol chu angong chang aheboh diu ahi.
Take the cow to a valley that has a stream running through it and whose ground has never been plowed or sown. Break the cow's neck there beside the stream.
5 Chuteng Levi thempuho abonchauva ama sang lama hung masa diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in amaho chu akin natong dinga alhen dohsa ahin, Levi thempu ho thusah bang banga kinopmona leh kinah boutam jouse aboncha thu chaina um ding ahi.
The Levitical priests must be there too, because the Lord your God has chosen them to serve him and to give blessings in his name, and to decide on legal disputes and cases of assault.
6 Thisepa umna toh kinaina muna bongla kithana muna chu, khopi sunga upa ho jousen twiya akhut akisop cheh diu ahi.
Then all the elders of the town nearest the body are to wash their hands in the stream over the dead cow, saying,
7 Hichu amaho dinga hettohsahnaa pang ding, “Keiho khut a kona hiche thise hi thisan kiso ahipoi, thisan kiso pet jeng jong kamu hih hel uve,” tia seina diu ahi.
“We had nothing to do with this murder, and we didn't see who did it.
8 O Pakai, nangman nahuh dohsa nami Israel mite hi ngaidam tan, hiche themmona thisan kisona ho jal'in nami Israelte chunga lethuhna neihih helin, thisan kiso jal'a amaho chunga lethuhna achan nalou dinga, taona anei peh teitei diu ahi.
Lord, please forgive your people Israel who you rescued, and do not hold them guilty of shedding of innocent blood In this way the guilt for shedding blood will be forgiven.”
9 Hitia chu nangman jong mona beihela thisen kiso na chung changa kona Pakai, mitmua adih a natohna chu nabol tenguleh suhtheng najong nanei diu ahi.
This is how you are to remove from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the Lord's sight.
10 Namel mateu toh gal kisat dinga nakon doh tenguleh Pakai, Pathen in na melmateu chu nangho henga ahinpeh doh khah tah’a ahileh, nangman jong amaho chu gal hinga nahin kai ding ahi.
When you go to war with your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you in defeat, and you capture them,
11 Chule hiche gal hing lah’a kona chu numei melhoitah nakimu doh’uva ahileh, nangmhon jong hiche numei chu naji diuva na kipui jeng theiyu ahi.
you may see that one of them is a beautiful woman who you like and want to marry.
12 Chuteng hiche numei chu nangho inlama nahin puidiu, asam jouse natan peh diu chule atin jouse jong natan mui peh diu ahi.
Take her home and have her shave her head, cut her nails,
13 Hiche numei nu jong chun soh kivonna chu akoiya, nangho insunga chu cheng jing ding lhani jen anu leh apa pul adou ding ahi. Hitia chu nangho jong numeinu henga na galut diu, nangho jong ama dia ajipa nahi thei diu, nupa naum thei diu ahi.
and get rid of the clothes she was wearing when she was captured. After she has lived in your home and has finished her month of mourning for her father and mother, you may sleep with her and marry her, and she shall be your wife.
14 Amanu chunga hi lungkim louna naneiyuva ahileh, nang hon jong amanu chu achena nom chana nasol jeng theiyu ahi. sum leh paiya jong najoh doh thei lou diu chule soh ki bolna bang banga jong nabol louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu nanghon amanu hi na luppi sau ahitai.
However, if you are not happy with her, you must let her leave and go wherever she wants. You are not allowed to sell her for money or treat her like a slave, because you have brought shame on her.
15 Koitobang pasal khat chun numei ji ni akop a, khatnu adeiya khatnu vang chu adeimo joh’a, ahivanga anigel lhona cha ahin lhon tah a, adeimo nu chun cha pasal ahin khat tah a ahileh,
If a man has two wives, one he loves and one he doesn't, and both have sons by him, but the firstborn son is from the wife he doesn't love,
16 ajipa chun kho nunga achapate thil leh lo ahin hoppeh nikho tengleh, adeimo johnu chapa sanga chu adeinu chapa chu gel khohna aneiya langnei na jong anei thei lou ding, apeng masa chu apeng masa bang bang abol thou thou ding ahi.
when the time comes for the man to decide what each son will inherit from him, he must not prefer the son of wife he loves and treat him as the firstborn instead of the son of the wife he doesn't love.
17 Adeimo johnu chapa chu achapa lah a atah pen ahi tia aphon doh ding, anei agou jouse lah’a chan nia tam joa apeh ding ahi. Ajeh chu ama dia chapa masapen ahin, mi-upa chan ding chu achansah thou thou ding ahi.
No. He is to recognize the firstborn, the son of the wife he doesn't love through the usual custom of giving him a double portion of all that he owns. The firstborn son is the firstfruits of his father's strength, and so the rights of the firstborn are his.
18 Chapa khat touvin Pakai thungai lou chule anu, apa thujong ngai louva doumah jenga achona ahileh,
If someone has a obstinate and rebellious son who doesn't obey his parents and doesn't obey them even when he's punished,
19 Hiche chapa chu anu leh apan jong khopi kelkot lama, thutan vaihom ho henga ahin puilut jeng lhon ding ahi.
his parents must take him to the town elders, to the court in his hometown,
20 Chuteng anu leh apan jong hiche ka chapa hi doumah jeng aboldoh tan chule kathu lhon jong angai hih hel in, milop tah le phatseh a jukhamnaa hinkho mang jeng ahitai, ati lhon ding ahi.
and tell them, “Our son is obstinate and rebellious, He doesn't obey us. He's a worthless drunk!”
21 Chutengleh hitobang miphalou chu khopi sunga cheng mipi ho chun songa aselih jeng diu ahi. Hiche hi Israel pum pin amu soh kei uva, kichaa umdiu ahi.
Then all the men of his home town will stone him to death. You must eliminate the evil from among you, and every Israelite will hear about it and be afraid.
22 Mihem khat touvin thina chan gotna pehna thei chonset a alhah khah tah a, amapa chu tha teitei ding ahi tah leh, ama chu thing chunga kona na khai lih jeng theiyu ahi.
If someone commits a crime punishable by death, and the person is executed by hanging on a tree,
23 Amavang hiche na khai lihpau chu khovah chana na khai den thei lou diu, nakho vahsah ngei ngeiyuva ahileh nang hon Pakai, Pathen in nagoulo dinga napeh nau gamsung nasuh boh'u ahitan, hijeh achu nakho vahsah louhel diu ahi.
don't leave the body hanging there overnight. Make sure you bury the body the same day, because anyone who is hung is under God's curse. Don't defile the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
