Kâboutpoenae 22
1 Na hmaunawngha e maito hoehpawiteh tu kahmat e hah na hmu nahlangva laplap khen hanh.
When you see the calf of your brother or his sheep wandering in the way, you shall not overlook them; you shall by all means turn them back to your brother, and you shall restore them to him.
2 Na hmaunawngha ahlanae koe ao e hah na panue hoeh nakunghai na im vah na hrawi pouh han. Na hmaunawngha ni a tawng hoeh roukrak na im vah na hruek pouh han. Hathnukkhu, na hmaunawngha koe bout na poe han.
And if your brother do not come near you, and you do not know him, you shall bring it into your house within; and it shall be with you until your brother shall seek them, and you shall restore them to him.
3 La hai thoseh, hnicu hai thoseh, buetbuet touh a kahma e hah na hmawt pawiteh, laplap khen laipalah, hottelah na sak han.
Thus shall you do to his ass, and thus shall you do to his garment, and thus shall you do to every thing that your brother has lost; whatever shall have been lost by him, and you shall have found, you shall not have power to overlook.
4 Na hmaunawngha e maitotan nakunghai, la nakunghai lam dawk sut kamlet e na hmawt pawiteh, na kâhrawk takhai mahoeh. Na pathaw roeroe han.
You shall not see the ass of your brother, or his calf, fallen in the way: you shall not overlook them, you shall surely help him to raise them up.
5 Napui ni tongpa e khohna hah khohnat mahoeh. Hottelah ka khohnat e teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet.
The apparel of a man shall not be on a woman, neither shall a man put on a woman's dress; for every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
6 Lamthung teng thingkung dawk na ou, talai dawk na ou, tavacanaw hoi hoehpawiteh, a taduinaw khuehoi tavatabu na hmu teh, a manu ma ni awt boipawiteh, a canaw khuehoi a manu mek na lat mahoeh.
And if you should come upon a brood of birds before your face in the way or upon any tree, or upon the earth, young or eggs, and the mother be brooding on the young or the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the young ones.
7 Nang ni hnokahawi na coe teh na hringyung vang nahanelah, a canaw na la nakunghai, a manu ma teh na tha han.
You shall by all means let the mother go, but you shall take the young to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long.
8 Im katha na sak navah, lemphu hah na tumdum han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, tami buetbuet touh bawt payon pawiteh, nange im teh thipalawngnae im lah awm mahoeh.
If you should build a new house, then shall you make a parapet to your house; so you shall not bring blood-guiltiness upon your house, if one should in any wise fall from it.
9 Misur dawk kâvan hoeh e atimu na kahei mahoeh. Hottelah na kahei pawiteh, misur paw hoi atimu paw mek a rawk han.
You shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed, lest the fruit be devoted, and whatever seed you may sow, with the fruit of your vineyard.
10 Maito hoi la cungtalah laikawk na thawn sak mahoeh.
You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together.
11 Pahla hoi tumuen kacokalei e khohna na khohnat mahoeh.
You shall not wear a mingled [garment], woollen and linen together.
12 Na kâkayo e hni hah, arai pali touh dawk na yep han.
You shall make fringes on the four borders of your garments, with which soever you may be clothed.
13 Tami buet touh ni a yu a Paluen teh a ikhai hnukkhu a ma teh,
And if any one should take a wife, and dwell with her, and hate her,
14 kai ni hete napui teh ka yu lah ka la toe. Ka ikhai hnukkhu, ahni teh, kacuem e nahoeh tie ka panue telah ati teh, dudamnae lahoi a min mathout sak pawiteh,
and attach to her reproachful words, and bring against her an evil name, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her I found not her tokens of virginity:
15 hote napui e a manu hoi na pa ni, tanglakacuem lah a onae hah, kacuenaw koe kho longkha koe a thokhai awh han.
then the father and the mother of the damsel shall take and bring out the damsel's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city to the gate.
16 Hote napui e a na pa ni kacuenaw koe a dei hane teh, kai ni ka canu teh, hete tongpa koe a yu lah ka poe toe. Hatei, ahni ni a pahnawt.
And the father of the damsel shall say to the elders, I gave this my daughter to this man for a wife;
17 Khen haw, nange canu teh kacuem e nahoeh ati teh, dudamnae lahoi a min a mathoe sak. Hatei, hetnaw teh ka canu tanglakacuem lah a onae doeh, telah a dei han. Ahnimouh ni kacuenaw e hmalah hni hah a kadai awh han.
and now he has hated her, and attaches reproachful words to her, saying, I have not found tokens of virginity with your daughter; and these [are] the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall unfold the garment before the elders of the city.
18 Hathnukkhu, kacuenaw ni hote tongpa hah a hem awh vaiteh a yue awh han.
And the elders of that city shall take that man, and shall chastise him,
19 Ahnimouh ni ahni hah shekel 100 touh a rawng sak awh vaiteh, napui e a na pa hah a poe awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw e tanglakacuem koe min mathoenae hah a sak dawk doeh. Hote napui teh ahnie a yu lah ao han. A due hoeh roukrak hote napui hoi kampek mahoeh.
and shall fine him a hundred shekels, and shall give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he has brought forth an evil name against a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife: he shall never be able to put her away.
20 Hatei, tongpa ni a dei patetlah, awm boi, napui e tanglakacuem lah a onae patue thai hoeh pawiteh,
But if this report be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel;
21 khothung e tongpanaw ni hote napui hah a na pa im takhang koe a tâco khai awh vaiteh, talung hoi ka dout lah a dei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa im vah tak a kâyo e lahoi Isarelnaw koe min mathoenae a kamnue sak toe. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh thung hoi yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
then shall they bring out the damsel to the doors of her father's house, and shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; because she has wrought folly amongst the children of Israel, to defile the house of her father by whoring: so you shall remove the evil one from amongst you.
22 Tongpa buet touh teh, a vâ ka tawn e napui buet touh hoi a i roi e hah hmawt pawiteh, napui koe ka ip e tongpa hoi hote napui mek thei han. Hottelah Isarelnaw thung hoi yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, you shall kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you remove the wicked one out of Israel.
23 Tanglakacuem hah tongpa ni a hâ hnukkhu, alouke tongpa ni a kho thung vah a hmu teh, ipkhai pawiteh,
And if there be a young damsel espoused to a man, and a man should have found her in the city and have lain with her;
24 hote napui ni kho thungvah a hram hoeh dawk thoseh, tongpa hai a imri e a yu thama lahoi a ikhai dawk thoseh, nangmouh ni ahni maroi hah kho longkha koe na ceikhai awh vaiteh, talung hoi kadout lah na dei awh han. Hottelah hoi nangmouh thung hoi yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
you shall bring them both out to the gate of their city, and they shall be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the damsel, because she cried not in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbour's spouse: so shall you remove the evil one from yourselves.
25 Tongpa buet touh ni tongpa buet touh hoi sut kâhâ tangcoung e napui hah a hmu teh, a man teh hote napui hah ipkhai pawiteh, hote napui ka ipkhai e tongpa dueng hah na thei han.
But if a man find in the field a damsel that is betrothed, and he should force her and lie with her, you shall kill the man that lay with her only.
26 Hatei, hote napui hah bangtelah hai na tet mahoeh.
And the damsel has not [committed] a sin worthy of death; as if a man should rise up against his neighbour, and kill him, so [is] this thing;
27 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tongpa ni hote napui hah kahrawngum a hmu teh, a hâ tangcoung e napui ni a hram eiteh, ahni kabawm hanelah apihai ao hoeh dawkvah, hote lai teh tami reira kâthei e hoi a kâvan.
because he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to help her.
28 Tongpa buet touh ni hâ hoeh rah e tanglakacuem hah a hmu teh a man teh, ipkhai pawiteh,
And if any one should find a young virgin who has not been betrothed, and should force [her] and lie with her, and be found,
29 ahni ka ipkhai e tongpa teh shekel 50 touh napui e a na pa koe a poe vaiteh, hote napui teh, hote tongpa e yu lah ao han. Ahni ni hote napui hah thama lahoi a ikhai dawk doeh. Ahni ni hote napui hah a hringyung thung kapek mahoeh.
the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the damsel fifty silver didrachmas, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he shall never be able to put her away.
30 Apinihai na pa e yu hah lat pouh mahoeh. A na pa e hni hawng pouh mahoeh.
A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
