Kâboutpoenae 25
1 Tami reira kâyue pawiteh, lawkcengim vah a cei awh vaiteh, lawkcengkung ni ahnimanaw hah lawk a ceng han. Kalan e tami hah yon hloutsak nahanelah thoseh, ka yon e teh sungsak nahanelah thoseh lawk na ceng han.
If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
2 Ka yon e hah hem kamcu pawiteh, lawkcengkung ni a hmalah ao sak vaiteh, a yon hoi kamcu lah nâyittouh tie hoi a hem han.
and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.
3 Hatei, avai 40 hlak kapap lah na hem mahoeh. Hot hlak kapap lah na hem pawiteh, na hmaunawngha teh na hmalah yeirai a phu han doeh.
He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.
4 Cangkatin lahun e maito hah a pahni moum pouh hanh.
You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Reirei kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw thung dawkvah, buetbuet touh ni ca sak laipalah dout pawiteh, hote napui teh alouke tamikathan hoi kâyuva mahoeh. A vâ e nawngha ni a paluen vaiteh, a yu lah awm khai naseh.
If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 Isarel miphun dawk hmau min a kahma hoeh nahanelah, camin teh, kadout e na pa kacue e min a phu han.
It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
7 A nawngha ni a hmau e yu hah la hane ngai hoehpawiteh, napui ni kacuenaw onae koe, kho longkha koe a cei vaiteh, ka vâ e nawngha ni, a hmau e min hah Isarel miphun thung caksak hanelah ngai hoeh. A sak hane kawi hai sak hane ngai hoeh telah dei pawiteh,
If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."
8 khothung vah kacuenaw ni ahni hah a kaw awh vaiteh, a pacei awh han. Ahni ni hai hote napui hah ka lat ngai hoeh telah muentakuen lah awm pawiteh,
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";
9 a hmau e yu ni kacuenaw e hmalah, ahni koe rek a cei vaiteh, ahnie khokkhawm hah a rading pouh vaiteh, a minhmai dawk a tamthawi pouh vaiteh, hmau e im kangdue sak hanlah ka ngai e tami koe hettelah ti hanelah ao telah a dei pouh awh han.
then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."
10 A hnukkhu vah, ahni hah khokkhawm rading e miphun telah kaw lah ao han.
His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
11 Tami reira a kâyue awh navah, buet touh e a yu ni amae vâ kabawp han a ngai dawkvah, alouke tongpa e minro hah sawn pouh boipawiteh,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;
12 hote napui e kut hah tâtueng pouh han. Na pahren mahoeh.
then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
13 Na yawngya dawk kalen e khinglung, kathounge khinglung tie kâvan hoeh e khinglung na awm sak mahoeh.
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 Nama im vah khingnae kalen kathoung na awm sak mahoeh.
You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk na hringyung a vang nahanelah, kahman e khinglung, kahman e yawcu dueng hah na hno han.
You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16 Dei tangcoung e hno ka sak e tami pueng hoi kamsoum hoeh lah ka sak tami pueng teh, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet.
For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
17 Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâco teh kahlawng na cei toteh,
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
18 na tha a baw teh na tawn lahun nah, na hnukkâbangnaw, a thakayounnaw hah Amaleknaw ni lamthung dawkvah a thei awh e hai thoseh, Cathut hah a taki awh hoeh e hai thoseh, pouk la a.
how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
19 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni râw lah na poe e ram dawk, na tengpam kaawm e taran pueng e kut dawk hoi na hlout sak teh yawhawi na poe toteh, Amaleknaw heh pouknae ao hoeh nahanelah, kalvan rahim vah na raphoe awh han. Hot hah na pahnim mahoeh.
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
