Bawknae 20

1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Isarel miphunnaw koe bout na dei pouh hane teh,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Isarel taminaw thoseh, Isarelnaw koe kho ka sak e alouke miphunnaw thoseh, amae canaw Molek koe, ka poe e tami teh thei roeroe han. Khocanaw ni talung hoi a dei awh han.

You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.

3 Kaie hmuen kathoung kakhin sak niteh, Ka min kathoung kamathout sak niteh, amae canaw Molek koe ka poe e tami teh, Kai ni mithmaithung sin vaiteh, a miphun dawk hoi ka takhoe han.

And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

4 Amae canaw Molek koe ka poe e tami hah, khocanaw ni nout laipalah thet awh hoeh pawiteh,

And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

5 Hottelah kaawm e tami hoi a imthungkhunaw hah, Kai ni mithmaithung sin vaiteh, ahni hai thoseh, ahni hoi cungtalah Molek koe, ka kâyawtnaw hai thoseh, ahnimae miphun dawk hoi ka takhoe han.

then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

6 Lam ka phen ni teh kahrai khueyue koe kamlang e taminaw hoi camkathoumnaw koe kâyawt e naw hah, mithmaithung sin vaiteh, a miphun dawk hoi ka takhoe han.

And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from amongst its people.

7 Nangmae BAWIPA KAI Cathut teh kathoung dawkvah nangmouh hai kâthoung sak awh nateh, kathoung lah awm awh.

And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

8 Kaie ka phunglamnaw hah na tarawi awh han. Kai teh BAWIPA, nangmouh na kathoung sak e BAWIPA doeh.

And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.

9 Apipatethai a manu, hoi a na pa thoe ka bo e tami pueng teh, thei roeroe lah ao han. A manu hoi a na pa thoe a bo dawkvah, a thi phu teh amae lû dawk a bo han.

Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.

10 Ayâ yu yonkhai pawiteh, ka uicuk e napui hoi tongpa hah mek thei lah ao han.

Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 Apihai a na pa e yu yonkhai pawiteh, a na pa kaya sak e lah ao dawkvah, hote napui hoi tongpa mek thei lah ao han. Ahnimae thi phu teh amae lû dawk a bo han.

And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

12 Apihai amae langa ipkhai pawiteh, ahnimouh roi panuettho e hno hah a sak dawkvah, mek thei lah ao han.

And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.

13 Apihai napui ikhai e patetlah tongpa reira ipkhai pawiteh, ahnimouh roi teh panuettho e hno a sak roi dawkvah, mek thei lah ao han. Ahnimouh roi e thi phu teh amamouh roi dawk a bo han.

And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.

14 Apihai a manu hoi canu a yu lah mek lat pawiteh, Hot teh, kahawihoehe hno doeh. Nangmouh koevah kahawihoehe hno ao hoeh nahanelah, ahnimanaw teh hmai na sawi awh han.

Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity amongst you.

15 Apihai saring ipkhai pawiteh, ahni teh thei lah ao han. Hote saring hai thei lah ao han.

And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.

And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

18 Tongpa ni kampheng lahun e napui ipkhai pawiteh, thi palawng hanlah a lungkuep roi dawkvah, ahnimouh roi teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from amongst their generation.

19 Na mani hoi na manta na ipkhai mahoeh. Hottelah, kâhnai e imthung hoi ka ipawm e tami teh amamae yonnae a khang han.

And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.

20 Tongpa ni a na pa e hmaunawngha yu ipkhai pawiteh, a na pa e hmaunawngha hoi dueng kâkuen e a ikhai dawkvah, ahnimouh teh amae yon phu teh amae lû dawk a bo han. Carôe laihoi a due han.

Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.

And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgements; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

23 Nangmae hmalah ka takhoe e miphunnaw e singyoe hah na tarawi awh mahoeh. Ahnimanaw ni hot patet e hno a sak awh dawkvah ka panuet.

And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:

24 Ahnimae ram lah kaawm e sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram hah, nangmouh ni râw lah na coe awh hanelah, Kai ni khoeroe na poe awh han telah Kai ni kâ na poe awh toe. Kai teh alouke miphunnaw hoi nangmouh na kapek e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o.

and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

25 Hatdawkvah, kathounge moi, kathounghoehe moi, kathounge tava, kathounghoehe tavanaw hah na kapek han. Kai ni kapek e patetlah Kathounghoehe moi, tava, talai dawk a von hoi kâva e saring buetbuet touh lahoi namahoima kâkhinsak awh hanh.

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

26 Kai Cathut, kathoung dawkvah nangmouh na panki teh Jentelnaw hoi na kapek dawkvah, Kai hanelah na kâthoung awh han.

And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.

And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
