Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath smitten 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 then thine elders and thy judges shall go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain;
Namah kah patongrhoek neh na laitloek rhoekte cet uh saeh lamtah rhok taeng lamkah loh khopuei duela nueh uh saeh.
3 and the city that is nearest unto him that is slain, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer that hath not been wrought with, that hath not drawn in the yoke;
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 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto an ever-flowing watercourse, which is not tilled, nor is it sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the watercourse;
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 near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to do service unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall be every controversy and every stroke.
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 And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto him that is slain, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck is broken in the watercourse,
Rhok nehaka yoei khopuei kah patongrhoek boeih long khaw soklong kaha ah vaito te a kut silh thil uh saeh.
7 and shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen 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 Forgive thy people Israel, whom thou, Jehovah, hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel; and the blood shall be expiated for them.
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 shalt thou put away innocent blood from thy midst, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
Te dongah namah khui lamkah ommongsitoe thii te namahloh khoe lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh aha thuem la saii.
10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou hast taken captives of them,
Na thunkharhoek taengah caem lana caeh vaengah anihte BOEIPA na Pathenloh na kut dongah han tloeng tih tamna la na sol mai ni.
11 and thou seest among the captives a woman of beautiful form, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wife;
Te vaengah tamna khuikah huta suisak sakthen te na hmuh tihna vencoeng. Te dongahna yuu la lolaeh.
12 then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
Na im khui la khuen. Te phoeiah a lu te vo saeh lamtah a kuttin khaw saii saeh.
13 and she shall put the clothes of her captivity from off her, and shall abide in thy house, and bewail her father and mother a full month, and afterwards thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy 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 it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go according to her desire; but thou shalt in no wise sell her for money; thou shalt not treat her as a slave, because thou hast humbled 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 have two wives, one beloved, and one hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and the firstborn son be hers that was hated;
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 then it shall be, in the day that he maketh his sons to inherit what he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
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 but he shall acknowledge as firstborn the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that is found with him; for he is the firstfruits of his vigour: the right of the firstborn is his.
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 have an unmanageable and rebellious son, who hearkeneth not unto the voice of his father, nor unto the voice of his mother, and they have chastened him, but he hearkeneth not unto them;
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 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
Anih te a manu neh a napaloh mawt saeh lamtahte hmuen vongka kah khopuei patongrhoek taengla khuen saeh.
20 and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is unmanageable and rebellious, he hearkeneth not unto our voice; he is a profligate 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 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. And thou shalt put evil away from thy midst; and all Israel shall hear and fear.
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 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou have hanged him on a tree,
Hlang pakhat te tholhnah kongah dueknah ham laitloeknah om tiha duek vaengah thing donglana kuiok sak mai ni.
23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged is a curse of God); and thou shalt not defile thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for 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.
