< Deuteronomy 14 >

1 You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
Nangmouh teh, BAWIPA Cathut e ca lah na o awh. Kadoutnaw hanelah na tak na kâbouk mahoeh. Na mitmuen hai na ngaw mahoeh.
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.
Nangmouh teh BAWIPA Cathut hanelah kathounge miphun lah na o awh. BAWIPA ni talai van dawk kaawm e miphun pueng hlakvah, ama ni tawn e miphun lah na o awh nahanelah nangmouh na rawi awh toe.
3 You must not eat any detestable thing.
Panuetkatho e na cat mahoeh.
4 These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
Na ca hane saringnaw teh, maito, tu, hmae,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

6 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
khoksamen samka ni teh a thepkaai e pueng teh na ca thai awh.
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,
Hatei, a thepkaai niteh, a khoksamen ka samka e naw thung dawk na ca hoeh hane naw teh, kalauk, saveh, cahi, naw heh athepai eiteh, a khoksamen a samka hoeh dawkvah kakhin e lah ao.
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.
Vok teh a khoksamen a samka eiteh, athepai hoeh dawkvah, nangmouh hanelah a khin. a moi na cat awh mahoeh. A ro hai na tek awh mahoeh.
9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
Tui dawk kaawm e naw thung dawk hetnaw heh na ca awh han. A pathuet hoi a lakep kaawm pueng na ca thai awh.
10 but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
A pathuet hoi a lakep kaawm hoeh e pueng na cat awh mahoeh, nangmouh hanelah a khin.
11 You may eat any clean bird,
Kathounge tava aphunphun na ca thai awh.
12 but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
Na ca hoeh hane tavanaw teh, langta, tuilangta, mataw,
13 the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,

19 All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
a rathei a tawn ei, kâva e saring pueng teh nangmouh hanelah a thoung hoeh dawkvah, na cat awh mahoeh.
20 But you may eat any clean bird.
Kathounge tava pueng na ca thai awh.
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.
A mahmawk kadout e moi na cat mahoeh. Na tengonaw ni a ca hanelah na poe han. Hoehpawiteh, ramlouk e tami longkha thung kaawmnaw koe na yo han. Nangmouh teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hanelah kathounge miphun lah na o awh. Hmaeca hah a manu e sanutui hoi mek na thawng mahoeh.
22 You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
Kum tangkuem na law dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng pung hra pung touh na kapek awh han.
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.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a min ao nahanelah a rawi e hmuen koe cakang, misurtui, satui hoi tuhu, maitohu naw dawk e camin pung hra pung touh hah a hmalah na ca awh han.
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,
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe awh torei teh, a min ao nahanelah a rawi e hmuen teh, ekvoi ahla dawkvah, pung hra pung touh na phawt thai awh hoeh pawiteh,
25 then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
hote hno hah na yo vaiteh, tangka na sin vaiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe na cei vaiteh,
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.
ca han na ngai e patetlah maito, tu, misurtui, yamu tie ca han na ngai e pueng hah na ran vaiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, na imthung abuemlahoi na ca awh vaiteh, kanawm lah na o awh han.
27 And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Hatei, nangmae longkha thung kaawm e Levih miphunnaw teh, a ham awm hoeh, râw hai ao hoeh dawkvah, na hnoun awh mahoeh.
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.
A kum thum dawk na hmu awh e pueng hah pung hra pung touh na tâcokhai awh vaiteh, khothung longkha vah na pâkueng awh han.
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.
Nangmouh koe kaawm e ham kaawm hoeh e, râw kaawm hoeh e Levihnaw koe kaawm van e Jentelnaw, naranaw, na longkha thung kaawm e lahmainaw a tho awh vaiteh, a ca awh han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na sak e pueng dawk yawhawi na poe awh han.
