And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 nang ni patuen na dei pouh hane teh, Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o.
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
3 Nangmouh ni ouk na onae Izip ram e nuencang thoseh, nangmouh na kâen khai nahane ram Kanaan ram e a nuencang thoseh, nangmouh ni na tarawi awh mahoeh. Ahnimae lamthung hai na dawn awh mahoeh.
You shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you lived: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, you shall not do; and you shall not walk in their ordinances.
4 Kai ni kâ na poe e patetlah na tarawi awh vaiteh, Kaie ka phunglam dawk na hring awh han. Kai teh nangmae Cathut Jehovah lah ka o.
You shall observe my judgements, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.

So you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.

No man shall draw near to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
7 Nange na pa hoi kâkuen e na manu na ipkhai mahoeh. Na manu lah ao dawkvah na yonkhai mahoeh.

The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety.
18 Na yu a hring navah, runae na poe hoeh nahanlah a nawngha na lat mahoeh.

And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
23 Panuetkatho e hno doeh. Ma kâkhinsaknae doeh. Saring na ka ipkhai mahoeh. Napui hai thoseh, saring hoi na ip sak mahoeh. Panuetkatho e lah ao.
Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.

Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25 Ahnimae ram hai a khin. A khin kecu dawk Kai ni ka toun awh teh hote ram ni amae canaw a palo awh han.
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26 Nangmouh teh Kai ni ka dei e phunglamnaw hah na tarawi awh han.
And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:

(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
28 Hot patet e hno panuettho e saknae lahoi ahnimae ram teh a khin toe.
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29 Hot patet e hno panuettho e ka sak e tami teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.
For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from amongst their people.

And you shall keep mine ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
