Deuteronomy 21
1 If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
Na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawk ah toep han nangcae khae paek ih prae thung ih ahmuen maeto ah angsong sut kami qok to oh, toe anih loe mi mah maw hum, tito panoek o ai nahaeloe,
2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
kacoehtanawk hoi lokcaekkungnawk to caeh o ueloe, qok ohhaih ahmuen hoiah kazoi koek vangpuinawk loe nasetto maw angthla, tito tah oh.
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
To pacoengah qok hoi anghnai koek vangpui ih kacoehtanawk mah, toksah vai ai laikok atokhaih thing ruet vai ai maitaw tala to la o ueloe,
4 bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
lawk sak han vat vai ai, aanmu doeh patii vai ai azawn ah maitaw tala to caeh haih pacoengah, to ahmuen ah maitaw tala ih tahnong to aat o tih;
5 And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
na Angraeng Sithaw ih tok kasah, Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah tahamhoihaih paek hanah qoih ih, Levi acaeng qaimanawk angzo o ueloe, lokpunghaih hoi humhaih nuiah lok to takroek o tih:
6 Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,
qok ohhaih ahmuen hoi anghnai koek vangpui thung ih kacoehtanawk loe, to azawn ih vacong ah tahnong aah o ih maitaw tala nuiah ban to amsae o tih,
7 and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
hae athii loe kaicae ih ban hoiah long ai; mik hoiah doeh ka hnu o ai.
8 Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
Aw Angraeng, na krang ih Israel kaminawk hae tahmen ah; zaehaih tawn ai kami ih athii tho lu lakhaih loe nangmah ih Israel kaminawk nuiah krahsak hmah, tiah thui o tih. To tiah sah nahaeloe kami athii palonghaih to tahmen tih.
9 So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Angraeng mikhnuk ah kamsoem hmuen to na sak o pongah, zaehaih tawn ai kami ih athii palonghaih hoiah na ciim o tih.
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
Misatuk han na caeh naah, na Angraeng mah nangcae ban ah misanawk to ang paek, nihcae to tamna ah na naeh,
11 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
misong ah na naeh ih nongpatanawk thungah kranghoih parai nongpata maeto oh, anih to na khit parai nahaeloe, zu ah na lak thaih;
12 then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
to nongpata to na im ah caeh haih ah loe a sam to aat paeh, a banpacinnawk doeh aat paeh loe,
13 and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
misong ah na naeh nathuem ih khukbuennawk to khring pae boih ah, na im ah omsak ah loe, khrahto thung amno hoi ampa dawnhaih palungsae dip pacoengah, a taengah caeh ah; nang loe anih ih sava ah om ah, anih doeh na zu ah om tih.
14 And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
To pacoengah anih to na koeh ai nahaeloe, angmah koeh ah caehsak ah; toe anih to azat na paek boeh pongah, phoisa hoi zaw hmah loe, misong baktiah doeh suem hmah.
15 If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,
Kami maeto mah zu hnetto tawnh; zu maeto loe palung moe, kalah maeto loe a hnukma; a palung ih zu doeh a hnukma ih zu doeh caa sak hoi hmaek; a hnukma ih zu mah anih hanah capa to sah pae hmaloe nahaeloe,
16 when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
to kami mah a tawnh ih qawk to a caa hnik khaeah pazet naah, a hnukma ih zu mah sak pae ih calu han paek koi qawk to, a palung kue ih zu mah sak pae ih capa hanah paek lat mak ai;
17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
a hnukma ih zu mah sak ih capa loe calu ni, tiah panoek moe, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih thung hoiah anih to alet hnetto paek han oh; to capa loe ampa thacak tangsuekhaih ah oh pongah, calu angdoethaih ahmuen loe anih ih qawk ah oh.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,
Kami maeto loe amno hoi ampa lok tahngai ai, lokaek thaih capa maeto tawnh; amno hoi ampa mah a capa thuitaek naah, lok tahngai ai nahaeloe,
19 his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
amno hoi ampa mah anih to naeh ueloe, kacoehtanawk ohhaih vangpui thungah caeh hoi haih tih;
20 and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
vangpui thungah kaom kacoehtanawk khaeah, Hae ka capa loe palungthah parai moe, lok tahngai ai; ka thuih hoi ih lok doeh tahngai ai; anih loe caak amoeh moe, mu paquih thaih kami ah oh, tiah thui pae hoi tih.
21 Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
To naah to vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk boih mah anih to duek khoek to thlung hoiah va o tih; to tiah kasae hmuen to nangcae salak hoiah takhoe oh; to tiah ni Israel kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, zii o tih.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
Kami maeto loe duek han krah zaehaih to a sak, anih loe hum han oh boeh pongah, thing nuiah bang hoiah hum nahaeloe,
23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
kadueh qok to aqum puek thing nuiah suek han om ai, duekhaih niah aphum roep han oh; (mi kawbaktih doeh thing pongah angbang kami loe, Sithaw tangoenghaih tongh kami ah oh); na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawk ah paek ih prae to, nam hnong o sak han ai ah to tiah sak han oh.
