Deuteronomy 19
1 And when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives thee, [even] the land, and ye shall inherit them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk kaawm e miphunnaw hah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a pahma teh, ahnimae kho, ahnimae im dawk na o toteh,
2 thou shalt separate for thyself three cities in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee.
BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e hote ram thung kaawm e khopui kathum touh na hmoun han.
3 Take a survey of thy way, and thou shalt divide the coasts of thy land, which the Lord thy God apportions to thee, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
Tami ka thet payon e pueng hote khopui dawk a yawng thai awh nahan, na BAWIPA Cathut ni nama hanlah na poe e ram hah, kathum touh lah na kapek vaiteh, lamthung hai koung na rasoun han.
4 And this shall be the ordinance of the manslayer, who shall flee thither, and shall live, whosoever shall have smitten his neighbour ignorantly, whereas he hated him not in times past.
Tami ka thet payon e ni a hring hlout nahanelah, hote kho dawk a yawng nahane hateh hettelah doeh.
5 And whosoever shall enter with his neighbour into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the axe should be violently shaken, and the axe head falling off from the handle should light on his neighbour, and he should die, he shall flee to one of these cities, and live.
Thing tâtueng hanelah a hui hoi kahrawng reirei a cei roi teh thing a tâtueng roi navah, cakâ pawk a kârakhing teh a hui a cusin teh a due dawkvah, tami ka thet hoi a kâvan. Hatei, hmuhmanae awm laipalah, a hui hah pouk laipalah a thei payon dawkvah, hote kho buetbuet touh dawk a yawng vaiteh, a hringnae a hlout han.
6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue after the slayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and slay him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he hated him not in time past.
Hottelah hoehpawiteh, moipathung han ka ngai e ni hote tami hah pâlei vaiteh, lamhla dawkvah rekpatawt vaiteh a thei payon han doeh. Hottelah thei kawi nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni a hui hah hmuhmanae a tawn hoeh dawkvah, thei hane kawi lah kamcu mahoeh.
7 Therefore I charge thee, saying, Thou shalt separate for thy self three cities.
Hatdawkvah, kho kathum touh na hmoun han telah kâ a poe.
8 And if the Lord shall enlarge thy borders, as he sware to thy fathers, and the Lord shall give to thee all the land which he said he would give to thy fathers;
Sahnin kai ni lawk na thui awh e hete kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh teh, BAWIPA Cathut lungpatawnae lahoi a lamthung dawk pou na dawn awh pawiteh,
9 if thou shalt hearken to do all these commands, which I charge thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways continually; thou shalt add for thyself yet three cities to these three.
na BAWIPA Cathut ni na mintoenaw koe poe hanelah lawk a kam e ram kaawm e pueng hah na poe vaiteh, na mintoenaw koe lawk a kam e patetlah na ram hah kaw sak pawiteh,
10 So innocent blood shall not be spilt in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, and there shall not be in thee one guilty of blood.
na BAWIPA Cathut ni nama hanlah na poe e ram dawkvah, kadout kawi hoeh e ni a due teh, tami thei yonnae na kut dawk a pha hoeh nahanelah, ka dei tangcoung e khopui kathum touh hloilah, alouke khopui kathum touh bout na hmoun han.
11 But if there should be in thee a man hating his neighbour, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him, that he die, and he should flee to one of these cities,
Hatei, a hui hah a hmuhma teh, thei hanelah a pahluem teh a thei dawkvah, hote khopui dawk ka yawng ni teh hawvah ka phat nakunghai,
12 then shall the elders of his city send, and take him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall die.
kacuenaw ni tami a patoun awh vaiteh, hote tami hah bout a hrawi awh vaiteh, moi ka pathung hane kut dawk a poe awh han.
13 Thine eye shall not spare him; so shalt thou purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with thee.
Ahnimouh na lungma mahoeh. Na hlout nahanelah, tami thei yonnae hah Isarelnaw koehoi na takhoe han.
14 Thou shalt not move the landmarks of thy neighbour, which thy fathers set in the inheritance, in which thou hast obtained a share in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni nama hanlah na poe e ram dawk, râw lah na coe e talai dawkvah, ayan mintoenaw ni a ung tangcoung e na imri e lawrilung hah tahruet hanh.
15 One witness shall not stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
Tami ni a sakpayon e yon hah lawkceng torei teh, kapanuekkhaikung buet touh dueng pawiteh hote lawk teh cak mahoeh. Kapanuekkhaikung kahni kathum touh awm pawiteh, hote e lawk pueng teh a cak han.
16 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
Kahmanhoeh e kapanuekkhaikung buet touh ni, ayânaw koelah kahmanhoeh e kapanuekkhaikung lah kangdout pawiteh,
17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.
ka kâtoe roi e roi teh BAWIPA hmalah thoseh, hatnae tueng dawk vaihma, lawkcengkungnaw hmalah thoseh a tho awh teh,
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;
lawkcengkungnaw ni kamcengcalah a pacei navah, hote kapanuekkhaikung ni a hui koe lahoi, kahmanhoeh lah kampangkhai pawiteh,
19 then shall ye do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and thou shalt remove the evil from yourselves.
a hui koe ka sak han telah a pouk e patetlah ahni dawk na sak han. Nangmouh koehoi yonnae hah hottelahoi na takhoe awh han.
20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Alouknaw ni hai hote kamthang hah thai awh vaiteh, hot patet e yon hah bout sak laipalah ao awh han.
21 Thine eye shall not spare him: [thou shalt exact] life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Na lungma mahoeh. Hringnae hanelah hringnae, mit hanelah mit, hâ hanelah hâ, kut hanelah kut, khok hanelah khok na pathung awh han.
