Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God an ox or sheep wherein is a defect, or anything bad; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Maito thoseh, tu thoseh, toun kaawm e, kakuep hoeh e hoi na BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae na sak mahoeh. Hot patetlah e thuengnae BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet e lah ao.
2 If there be found in thy midst in any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth what is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e khonaw dawkvah,
3 and goeth and serveth other gods, and boweth down to them, either to the sun or to the moon, or to the whole host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
kanî, thapa, kalvan hno tie patetnaw, kai ni ka pasoung hoeh e alouke cathutnaw koe na cei awh teh, na bawk awh teh, na BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam na tapuet awh teh, a hmalah yonnae ka sakpayon e napui tongpa ao telah,
4 and it be told thee, and thou hearest of it; then thou shalt make thorough inquiry, and if it be truth [and] the thing be certain, that this abomination hath been wrought in Israel,
nang ni kamthang na thai teh akung na khei navah, Isarel miphun dawk hot patetlah e panuettho e hah sakpayon katang pawiteh,
5 thou shalt bring forth that man or that woman, who committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, the man or the woman, and shalt stone them with stones, that they die.
hote yonnae ka sak e napui tongpa hah kho longkha koe na ceikhai awh vaiteh, talung hoi na dei awh vaiteh na thei awh han.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death: he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
Lawkpanuesaknae kapanuekkhaikung kahni touh kathum touh awm pawiteh, due kamcu e tami teh na thei awh katang han. Lawkpanuesaknae kapanuekkhaikung buet touh dueng awm pawiteh, thet mahoeh.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
Hote tami hah thei hanelah kapanuekkhaikungnaw ni hmaloe a kut a pho awh hnukkhu, tami pueng ni kut a pho awh han. Hottelah na sak awh pawiteh, nangmouh koehoi yonnae teh takhoe lah ao han.
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, matters of controversy within thy gates, then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which Jehovah thy God will choose.
Na khothung vah tami kâtheinae, kâyuenae, kâhemnae naw hah nang hanlah lawkcengnae ru poung pawiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe na cei awh vaiteh,
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment;
hatnae tueng dawkvah, lawkcengkung thaw ka tawk e, vaihma, Levihnaw e hmalah lawkceng lah ao awh han. Ahnimouh ni hai lawkcengnae hah a pathang awh han.
10 and thou shalt do according to the tenor of the word, which they of that place which Jehovah will choose shall declare unto thee; and thou shalt take heed to do according to all that they instruct thee:
BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe kaawm e naw ni a dei e patetlah nang ni na sak han. Ahnimouh ni na cangkhai e patetlah na sak nahanelah na kâhruetcuet han.
11 according to the sentence of the law which they shall declare unto thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the word which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, or the left.
Ahnimouh ni na cangkhai e lawkcengnae hoi a dei awh e lawk tâtueng e patetlah na sak han. Ahnimouh ni na patue e cangkhainae dawk hoi avoilah aranglah na phen mahoeh.
12 And the man that shall act presumptuously, and not hearken unto the priest that standeth to serve there before Jehovah thy God, or unto the judge, that man shall die; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel.
BAWIPA Cathut hmalah thaw ka tawk e vaihmabawi, lawkcengkungnaw e lawk ngâi laipalah, tarankahawi lah ka sak e teh thei hanlah ao. Hottelah hoi, Isarelnaw thung hoi hot patet e yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and no more act presumptuously.
Hote kamthang hah tami pueng ni a thai awh toteh, a taki awh vaiteh, hottelah taranhawi laihoi bout sak awh mahoeh toe.
14 When thou comest unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are about me;
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk na pha teh, hawvah kho na sak toteh, ka tengpam vah kaawm e Jentelnaw patetlah siangpahrang buetbuet touh tawn awh sei na tetpawiteh,
15 thou shalt only set him king over thee whom Jehovah thy God will choose: from among thy brethren shalt thou set a king over thee; thou mayest not set a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e na hmaunawngha reirei duengdoeh siangpahrang lah na tawm a han. Na hmaunawngha lah kaawm hoeh e Jentelnaw hah siangpahrang lah na tawm awh mahoeh.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people to Egypt, to multiply horses; for Jehovah hath said unto you, Ye shall not return again any more that way.
Hote siangpahrang teh ama hanelah marang moikapap paca mahoeh. Marang moikapap a tawn nahanelah Izip ram tami ban sak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote lamthung koe bout na ban mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Ahnie a lungthin a rawp hoeh nahanelah, yu moikapap lat mahoeh. Suingun hai moikapap pâkhueng mahoeh.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests, the Levites;
Hettelah ao han. A uknaeram bawitungkhung dawk a tahung toteh, Levih tami, vaihma bawinaw ni a tarawi awh e kâlawk hah cauk lah ama hanelah a thut han.
19 and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Hote cauk teh ama koe ao vaiteh, hnintangkuem a touk han. Hottelah tetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut hah a taki nahanelah thoseh, hete kâlawknaw pueng a kuem nahanelah thoseh, a tarawi nahanelah thoseh, a kamtu thai han.
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
Ama e a lungthin hah a hmaunawnghanaw lathueng kâtawm thai hoeh. Kâlawk dawk hoi avoilah aranglah kamlang thai hoeh. Hottelah tetpawiteh, a ram thung Isarelnaw rahak vah, ama hoi a canaw teh a hring a saw awh han.
