Deuteronomy 17
1 “You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Hno thae he BOEIPA na Pathen kah tueilaehkoi ni. A pum dongah a lolhmaih khat khat aka om vaito neh tu te BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na nawn mahpawh.
2 When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,
A paipi a poe tih BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah thae aka saii huta tongpa loh BOEIPA na Pathen kah m'paek na vongka khui boeih kah namah taengah a pongpa te a hmuh bal oeh atah,
3 so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,
pathen tloe taengah thothueng ham neh khomik taengah, hla taengah, vaan caempuei khat khat taengah aka bakop ham kang uen moenih.
4 and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being done in Israel:
Nang taengkah a thui te na yaak vaengah tuektuek cae lamtah tueilaehkoi hno he Israel khui lamkah loh a saii te oltak la a sikim atah,
5 you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.
huta khaw tongpa khaw rhen khuen. Na vongka khuiah khoboe thae aka saii tah huta khaw tongpa khaw lungto neh dae lamtah duek uh kangna saeh.
6 By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.
Aka duek tueng khaw laipai pakhat kah a ka dongkah neh duek tarha pawt vetih laipai panit pathum ka dongkah ol a om daengah ni a duek eh.
7 First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.
Anih duek sak ham vaengah lamhma la laipai rhoek loh kut hlah thil saeh. A hnuk la pilnam pum loh kut hlah saeh lamtah na khui lamkah boethae te hnawt.
8 If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.
Laitloeknah dongah olka te nang ham rhaisang tih na vongka khuikah tuituknah olka a om vaengah thii hamla thii, dumlai hamla dumlai, nganboh hamla nganboh van a ti coeng atah thoo lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh nah hmuen la cet.
9 And you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.
Te phoeiah Levi khosoih rhoek neh amah khohnin kah laitloek la aka om te paan lamtah dawtlet. Te phoeiah nang ham laitloeknah dumlai te han thui uh saeh.
10 And you shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,
BOEIPA kah a coelh nah hmuen ah nang ham a thui uh olka tarhing te tah saii. Te dongah nang n'thuinuet boeih vanbangla saii ham ngaithuen.
11 in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.
Nang ham han thuinuet uh olkhueng neh nang taengah han thui uh laitloeknah a tarhing ah saii lamtah nang hamla a thui uh olka te khaw banvoei bantang la phaelh boeh.
12 But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take away the evil from Israel.
Hlang he althanah neh aka saii, na Pathen BOEIPA taengah thotat ham neh laitloek ham aka pai khosoih ol aka hnatun pawt tah, te hlang te duek saeh lamtah Israel lamkah boethae te khoe pah.
13 And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.
Te daengah ni pilnam boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih koep a lokhak uh pawt eh.
14 When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek khohmuen te na kun tih na pang phoeikah kho na sak vaengah, “Ka kaepvai kah namtom rhoek bangla kamah soah manghai ka khueh van ni,” na ti oeh atah,
15 you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah a coelh na manuca khui kah te tah namah soah manghai la na khueh rhoe la na khueh ni. Namah sokah aka manghai la hlang na tuek vaengah kholong hlang tah namah soah na khueh ham coeng thai mahpawh. Anih te na manuca moenih.
16 And when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same way.
Tekah manghai loh marhang khaw amah ham ping sak boel saeh. Marhang aka ping sak ham khaw pilnam te Egypt la na balkhong sak mahpawh. Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh nang taegah, “Tekah longpuei ah koep balkhong ham na khoep mahpawh,” a ti tih a thui.
17 He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights of silver and gold.
A yuu khaw yet boel saehlamtah a thinko phaelh boel saeh. Tangka neh sui khaw amah ham muep kuk boel saeh.
18 Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.
A ram kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol ham a om vaengah Levi khosoih rhoek taengkah cabu dongah aka om olkhueng te cabu a toeng dongah amah ham koep daek saeh.
19 And he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.
Te phoeiah cabu te amah taengah om saeh lamtah a hing tue khui boeih ah amah ham tae saeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA a Pathen a rhih khaw, olkhueng olka boeih a ngaithuen ham neh he rhoek kah oltlueh a vai ham khaw a cang eh.
20 And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over Israel.”
A manuca te a thin pom thil boel saeh lamtah olpaek te banvoei bantang la phaelh boel saeh. Te daengah ni Israel lakli kah amah ram ah amah neh a ca rhoek loh a hinglung a vang eh.
