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 have dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you, shall ye not do; and in their customs shall ye not walk.
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.
My ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.

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

Do not defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast 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 became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited out its inhabitants.
26 Nangmouh teh Kai ni ka dei e phunglamnaw hah na tarawi awh han.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you;
27 Hote ram ni hmaloe kaawm e miphunnaw a palo e patetlah bout na khin awh vaiteh, na palo awh hoeh nahanlah ram thung e tami thoseh, nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke miphunnaw thoseh, hot patet e panuettho e na sak awh mahoeh.
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
28 Hot patet e hno panuettho e saknae lahoi ahnimae ram teh a khin toe.
That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 Hot patet e hno panuettho e ka sak e tami teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, — even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Hatdawkvah, hmaloe a sak a e panuettho e singyoe, nangmouh ni dawn laihoi na kâkhinsak awh hoeh nahanelah, kâlawk tarawi awh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh telah ati.
Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.
