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 Pathen loh nang kah a pang la m'paek khohmuen kah kohong ah aka yalh rhok te a hmuh dae anih te u loh 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 patong rhoek neh na laitloek rhoek te 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 neh a yoei la aka om khopuei kah khopuei patong rhoek loh saelhung khuikah hnamkun aka 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 khuiah a thotat pawt tih a 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 Pathen loh a coelh Levi koca khosoih rhoek te thoeih uh saeh lamtah tuituknah cungkuem neh nganbokyoknah cungkuem aka 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 neh aka yoei khopuei kah patong rhoek boeih long khaw soklong kah a 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 la na lat Israel he tholh han dawth pah. Ommongsitoe thii loh 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 namah loh khoe lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a 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 thunkha rhoek taengah caem la na caeh vaengah anih te BOEIPA na Pathen loh 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 tih na ven coeng. Te dongah na yuu la lo laeh.
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 ah a 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 te na kun thil tih na 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 te na ngaih pawt tih na tueih coeng atah amah hinglu la om van saeh lamtah tangka la na yoi rhoe na yoi mahpawh. Anih te na khah coeng dongah na 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 om tih pakhat te a lungnah dae pakhat te tah a hnoel. Te vaengah a lungnah a yuu long khaw, a hnoel long khaw anih ham ca a sak pah rhoi tih a hnoel kah a 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 hnoel kah a capa caming la hmat saeh lamtah amah taengkah a 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 mueh la a koek mai ni. Anih te a toel rhoi dae te rhoi taengkah te 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 napa loh mawt saeh lamtah te hmuen vongka kah khopuei patong rhoek 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 patong rhoek taengah, “Ka ca a thinthah tih ka ol a ngai mueh la a 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 anih te khopuei tongpa boeih loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. Na khui lamkah boethae khaw te tlam te na hnawt daengah ni Israel pum loh a yaak uh vetih a 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 tih a duek vaengah thing dongla na 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 rhok te thing dongah rhaeh sak boeh. Kuiok he Pathen kah rhunkhuennah la a om dongah amah khohnin van vaengah up rhoe up laeh. Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek na khohmuen te poeih boeh.
