Bawknae 18
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 nang ni patuen na dei pouh hane teh, Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
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.
Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from before you.

Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you —

For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
