Deuteronomy 14
1 You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
Nangho Pakai, na Pathen a mong nahinau photchetna ding in, nachalsam kalval uva navotol louhel diu ahi. Hichu athiho lunghempina ahi.
2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
Pakai, na Pathen diuva nangho atheng nahi tauve, leiset chunga nam jouse lah a goulu pena nalhen doh’u ahitai.
3 You must not eat any detestable thing.
Chule gancha boh kiti phot naneh thei lou diu ahi.
4 These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
Hichengse vang hi naneh thei diu ahi: bongchal, kelngoi, kelcha,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
sajuh, pelkai, sakhi, gam kel, chule molchunga kelngoi jaona neneh thei diu ahi.
6 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
Nanghon a-an lhai umho naneh thei diu ahi.
7 But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,
Hinlah a-an lhai umlou sa vang chu naneh lou diu ahi. Hichu sangong sang, talep, bui amaho cheng hin an-lhai aneiyun ahinlah a-ihdoh pouvin ahi. Hijeh achu hiche gancha hohi nangho dinga atheng lou ahi.
8 as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.
Chule vohcha jong naneh lou diu ahi. Anlhai aneiyin hinlah a-ihdoh poi, hijeh achu nangho dia atheng lou ahiye. Hiche gancha hose hi neh jong naneh thei lou diu chule tohjong natoh khah lou diu ahi.
9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
Twikhanglen'a cheng ganhing lah a, aling nei naneh thei diu ahi.
10 but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
Hijeh chun twikhanglen'a um alingnei naneh diu, hinlah aling nei lou kitiphot vang naneh lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu hichengse hi nangho dia atheng lou ahi.
11 You may eat any clean bird,
Chule nanghon chungleng vacha namkim naneh thei diu ahi.
12 but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
Hinlah vacha hichengse hi naneh thei lou diu ahi: muthang chule mubong naneh lou diu,
13 the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,
chule Muvom, muthi, sumbupi,
14 any kind of raven,
va-ah leh ama tobang va dang jouse,
15 the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

16 the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
sumbupi nou, sumbupi len, sumbu changlit,
17 the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
muthibong, sumbu changlit, sumbupi, Egypt mite muthi,
18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.
bah chule adang phabep jaona naneh lou diu ahi.
19 All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
Tollham a ganhing vahle jouse hi naneh lou diu ahi, ajeh chu atheng lou ahi.
20 But you may eat any clean bird.
Hinlah vacha lhanei atheng kitiphot chu naneh diu ahi.
21 You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Ganthikam kiti naneh louhel diu ahi. Nakhopi sunguva kholjin miho naneh sah thei diu ahilouleh na hetkhah lou mikoma najoh thei diu ahi. Amavang nanghon naneh thei louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen diuva atheng nahiuve. Chule nanghon kelchanou chu kelchapi noituiya nahon lou diu ahi.
22 You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
Gasoh lah a somakhat ding nakoi doh diu gasoh jouse lah a, somakhat kumseh le na katdoh diu ahi.
23 And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
Hiche somakhat chu Pathen houna muna nahin choi diu Pakai, Pathen in amin dopsang nadinga alhenna muna chu nahin choi diu, hichu Pakai angsunga naneh diu ahi.
24 But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,
Pakai, na Pathen uvin phatthei nahin boh tenguleh mun gam lha tah hijongleh lousohga tamtah nalo diu, chuteng hoilai muna kon hijongleh somakhat nahin choi diu ahi.
25 then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
Amun chu agamlhat behseh a ahileh, hiche gasoh chu najoh diu najohna manu vang chu Pakai, na Pathen'u houna muna chu nalhut diu ahi.
26 Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.
Nahung lhun tenguleh, nanghon nadeichan nasumuva nakichoh diu bongchal, kelngoi, kelcha, lengpitwi chule adang donthei nachoh jeng theiyu ahi. Chuteng nangho leh nainsung mi teuvin Pakai ansunga an-najon khom diu ahi.
27 And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Chule nalah uva Levi mite nahebol jing diu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho chenna ding nei louva um ahiuve.
28 At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.
Kumthum lhinsih leh somakhat achombeh a nahin choi diu, hichu khopi toh kinaichaa nakhol khom diu,
29 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.
hichu Levi mite napeh diu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho gam nei louva khosa ahiuvin, hichu amahon aneh uva lungkim sela umdiu ahit. Chutile Pakai, na Pathen uvin phatthei naboh diu ahi.
