< 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,
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni coe hanelah na poe e ram dawk kahrawng vah, tami ni a thei e ro na hmu teh kathetkung na panuek hoehpawiteh,
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;
kacuenaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw a tho awh vaiteh, ro hoi a tengpam e khonaw hah a hnai ahla e a bangnue awh han.
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;
Ro hoi kahnai poung e kho dawk e kacuenaw ni hno boihoeh rae maitola a hrawi awh han.
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;
Hote kacuenaw ni, hote maitola hah, thawn hoeh rae, cati kahei hoeh rae, pou kalawng e palang koe a hrawi awh vaiteh, hote hmuen koe palang vah maitola e lahuen a tâtueng pouh awh han.
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.
Levih miphun vaihmanaw ni a thosin awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a thaw tawk hane hoi BAWIPA e min yawhawi poe sak hanelah, ahnimanaw hah BAWIPA ni a rawi toe. Ahnimae pahni dawk hoi, kâyuenae pueng hoi kutkhok payonnae pueng teh pâbaw e lah ao han.
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,
Ro hoi kahnai poung e kho dawk e kacuenaw pueng ni, palang vah a lahuen tâtueng pouh tangcoung e maito van a kut a pâsu awh han.
7 and shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
Hathnukkhu ahnimouh ni a dei awh hane teh, kaimae kut ni hete a thi palawng hoeh, kaimouh ni kahmawt awh hoeh. Oe BAWIPA, na rawi teh na rungngang e na tami Isarelnaw yontha pouh haw. A yonnae kaawm hoeh e tami e a thi palawngnae yon hah na tami Isarelnaw koe bawt sak hanh loe. Thi palawngnae yon teh tha pouh loe, telah a dei awh han.
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.
Oe! BAWIPA na ratang e na tami Isarelnaw hah pahren haw. Due kamcu hoeh e tami theinae yon teh na tami Isarelnaw koe phat sak hanh loe telah na dei han. Hottelah na tet pawiteh, tami theinae yontha lah ao han.
9 So shalt thou put away innocent blood from thy midst, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
Hottelah nang ni BAWIPA hma lah hawinae na sak navah, due kamcu hoeh e thi teh a takhoe han.
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,
Nang ni taran na tuk teh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na kut dawk na poe teh na man torei teh,
11 and thou seest among the captives a woman of beautiful form, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wife;
na man e taminaw hah a meikahawi e napui hah na hmu teh yu lah la hane na ngai pawiteh,
12 then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
nama im na kaw vaiteh, ahni ni a lû a ngaw vaiteh, a kutpatin a raimen vaiteh,
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 mannae khohna a rading vaiteh, thapa yung touh thung a manu na pa rabui laihoi na im vah ao hnukkhu, na yu lah na la vaiteh, ahni teh nange yu lah ao han.
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.
Hathnukkhu ahni hah na ngai hoeh toung pawiteh, ama ngai nah koe na cei sak han. Ahni hah na kaya sak dawkvah, tangka lah na yawt mahoeh. San lah na tat mahoeh.
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;
Vâ ka pahren e hoi vâ ka hmuhma e yu roi ni a ca a khe roi teh, camin hah vâ ka hmuhma e capa lah awm pawiteh,
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;
ahni ni a râw hah a rei toteh, hmuhma e capa hah pabo vaiteh, a pahren e capa hah na tawmtakhang mahoeh.
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.
Hmuhma e capa teh camin doeh telah na pâpho vaiteh, let hni touh e râw hah na poe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote capa teh na pa e tha kamtawngnae doeh. Caminnae hmuen hoi a kamcu doeh.
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;
Na pa koe capa kathout, a lungpata ni teh manu na pa e lawk ka ngai hoeh e, manu na pa ni a yue ei, banglah ka noutna hoeh e awm pawiteh,
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;
manu na pa ni hote capa hah a sawn vaiteh, kho thung kacuenaw onae koe kho longkha koe a ceikhai vaiteh,
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.
kaimae capa teh ka mathout e lah doeh a o. Ka carawng ni teh yamuhri lah kaawm e doeh telah kho thung kacuenaw koe a dei pou han.
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.
Khoca tongpa pueng ni, hote capa hah talung hoi a dei awh vaiteh, a thei awh han. Hottelah nangmouh thung hoi payonnae hah na takhoe awh vaiteh, Isarelnaw pueng ni hote kamthang hah a thai awh vaiteh a taki awh han.
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,
Due kamcu e yon ka tawn e tami hah thing dawk na kaithi sak pawiteh,
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.
hote ro hah thing dawk karum tuettuet na tat mahoeh. Ama hot hnin roeroe vah talai dawk na pakawp roeroe han. Thing dawk kaithi sak e tami teh thoebo lah kaawm e tami doeh. Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na pang hanelah na poe e râw hah na khin sak awh hoeh nahanlah hottelah na sak awh han.
