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,
accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the 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 young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.

Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.

They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 Hatei, tongpa ni a dei patetlah, awm boi, napui e tanglakacuem lah a onae patue thai hoeh pawiteh,
But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,

then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from among 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.
If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.

If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies 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.
then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
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 the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;
26 Hatei, hote napui hah bangtelah hai na tet mahoeh.
but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;
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.
for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
28 Tongpa buet touh ni hâ hoeh rah e tanglakacuem hah a hmu teh a man teh, ipkhai pawiteh,
If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are 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.
then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
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.
