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,
BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang kah a pang la m'paek khohmuen kah kohong ahaka yalh rhok te a hmuh dae anihte uloh a ngawn khaw a mingpha pawt atah,
2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
Namah kah patongrhoek neh na laitloek rhoekte cet uh saeh lamtah rhok taeng lamkah loh khopuei duela nueh uh saeh.
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
Te vaengah rhok neha yoei la aka om khopuei kah khopuei patong rhoek loh saelhung khuikah hnamkunaka mawt pawt tih aka thotat pawh vaitola te lo uh saeh.
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.
Te phoeiah vaitola te khopuei patong rhoek loh a khuiaha thotat pawt tiha tawn pawh soklong puei la suntlak puei saeh. Te phoeiah vaito te soklong ah pahoi top uh saeh.
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.
Te vaengah amah kah bibi ham neh BOEIPA ming dongah yoethen aka pae ham BOEIPA na Pathenloh a coelh Levi koca khosoih rhoekte thoeih uh saeh lamtah tuituknah cungkuem neh nganbokyoknah cungkuemaka om te ol khueh thil uh saeh.
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,
Rhok nehaka yoei khopuei kah patongrhoek boeih long khaw soklong kaha ah vaito te a kut silh thil uh saeh.
7 and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
Te phoeiah doo uh saeh lamtah, “Kaimih kut ah hlang thii he long rhoe la long pawt tih kaimih mik long khaw a hmuh moenih.
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 BOEIPA na pilnam lana lat Israel he tholh han dawthpah. Ommongsitoe thiiloh na pilnam Israel lakli la coe sak boel lamtah hlang thii khui lamkah loh amih ham khaw dawth la om saeh,” ti uh saeh.
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.
Te dongah namah khui lamkah ommongsitoe thii te namahloh khoe lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh aha thuem la saii.
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
Na thunkharhoek taengah caem lana caeh vaengah anihte BOEIPA na Pathenloh na kut dongah han tloeng tih tamna la na sol mai ni.
11 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
Te vaengah tamna khuikah huta suisak sakthen te na hmuh tihna vencoeng. Te dongahna yuu la lolaeh.
12 then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
Na im khui la khuen. Te phoeiah a lu te vo saeh lamtah a kuttin khaw saii saeh.
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.
Na imkhui aha om vaengah a pum dongkah a tamna himbai te pit saeh lamtah khohnin hla khat khuiah a manu a napa te rhah dae saeh. Te phoeiah anih tena kun thil tihna yuunah vaengah namah yuu la om van ni.
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.
Tedae anih tena ngaih pawt tihna tueih coeng atah amah hinglu la om van saeh lamtah tangka lana yoi rhoe na yoi mahpawh. Anih tena khah coeng dongahna kulup sut mai mahpawh.
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,
Hlang pakhat te yuu panit omtih pakhat te alungnah dae pakhat te tah a hnoel. Te vaengaha lungnah a yuu long khaw, a hnoel long khaw anih ham caa sak pah rhoi tiha hnoel kaha capa te a caming la om mai ni.
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.
Tedae amah taengah aka om te a ca rhoi a pheang tue a pha atah a hnoel huta capa, a caming kah mikhmuh mai ah a lungnah huta kah a capa te a caming la coeng sak boel saeh.
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 hnoelkaha capa caming la hmat saeh lamtah amah taengkaha dang boeih dongah a thaham rhaepnit la pae saeh. A thahuem cuek he caminghamsum kah hamsum van ni.
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,
Hlang pakhat taengah capa thinthah om tih a napa ol neh a manu ol te hnatun muehlaa koek mai ni. Anih tea toel rhoi dae te rhoi taengkahte hnatun pawh.
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,
Anih te a manu neh a napaloh mawt saeh lamtahte hmuen vongka kah khopuei patongrhoek taengla khuen saeh.
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.”
Te phoeiah a khopuei patongrhoek taengah, “Ka caa thinthah tih ka ola ngai muehlaa koek. Te dongah carhut yumii la om,” ti rhoi saeh.
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.
Te vaengah anihte khopuei tongpa boeihloh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. Na khui lamkah boethae khaw te tlam te na hnawt daengahni Israel pumloh a yaakuh vetiha rhih uh eh.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
Hlang pakhat te tholhnah kongah dueknah ham laitloeknah om tiha duek vaengah thing donglana kuiok sak mai ni.
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.
a rhokte thing dongah rhaeh sak boeh. Kuiok he Pathen kah rhunkhuennah la a om dongah amah khohnin van vaengah up rhoe uplaeh. Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang taengah rho la m'paek na khohmuen te poeih boeh.
