< Deuteronomy 24 >

1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, it shall be if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
Tongpa buet touh ni yu a la teh, a paluen hnukkhu, yon pen hanelah ao dawkvah, a lungkuep hoehpawiteh, manae ca a thut vaiteh, a poe hnukkhu a cei sak han.
2 And she shall depart out of his house, and go away, and may become another man's wife.
Hote napui teh a vâ im hoi a cei hnukkhu alouke tongpa e yu lah o thainae kâ ao.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die who took her as his wife;
Bout a vâ e ni hai hmawt ngai hoehpawiteh, manae ca a thut teh a kut dawk a poe teh, a im dawk hoi a ceisak nakunghai thoseh, a vâ kadout nakunghai thoseh,
4 her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for it is an abomination before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
ahmaloe e tongpa ni hote kamhnawng e napui hah a yu lah bout lat mahoeh. BAWIPA hmalah panuettho e lah ao. Na Cathut BAWIPA ni râw lah na poe ram dawk yon na thokhai mahoeh.
5 When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath taken.
Yu nuengnueng ka paluen e teh taran tuknae koe cet mahoeh. Rangpui thaw hai patoun mahoeh. Kum touh thung im ao vaiteh, a yu hah a khetyawt han.
6 No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in pledge.
Talung sum avan lae hai thoseh, athung lae hai thoseh, apini hai laiba dawk na lat pouh mahoeh. Hottelah na lat pawiteh, a hringnae na la pouh e hoi a kâvan.
7 If a man be found who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
Tami ni amae hmaunawngha hai thoseh, Isarelnaw hah a paru teh san lah a ta hai thoseh, a yo hai thoseh, hote tamru hah na hmawt pawiteh, na thei awh han. Nang koehoi yonnae hah hottelah na takhoe awh han.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed to do.
Hrikbei patawnae dawkvah, Levih ca vaihmanaw ni na pâtu e patetlah na sak awh han.
9 Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came forth out of Egypt.
Nangmouh teh, Izip ram hoi na tâco awh teh, kahlawng na cei awh lahun nah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni Miriam koe a sak e hno hah pouk awh.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to secure his pledge.
Nang ni nama e pacanaw koe hno na cawi sak pawiteh, pâhung e hno la hanelah ahnie im thung na kâen mahoeh.
11 Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without.
Nang teh alawilah na kangdue vaiteh, a pâhung e hno hah nang na onae koe alawilah a sin han.
12 And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge;
Ahni teh roedeng pawiteh, a pâhung e hno poe hanelah kanî na loum sak mahoeh.
13 in any case thou shalt return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God.
Ahni ni amae hni a kâkhu laihoi a i vaiteh, nang yawhawi na poe nahanelah, a pâhung e hno hah kanî khum pawiteh, na poe mingming han. Hottelah sak e teh, na BAWIPA Cathut hmalah kalan e hno doeh.
14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant [who is] poor and needy of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners who are in thy land within thy gates:
Paca reira thoseh, na kho dawk kaawm e Jentelnaw hai thoseh, ka roedeng e hah na rektap mahoeh.
15 on his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be a sin in thee.
A hnintangkuem amae thaw tawk phu hah na poe han. Poe laipalah kanî loum sak hanh. Ahni teh a mathoe dawkvah, a hmu hane aphu dawk a lungpen han. Poe laipalah na awm pawiteh, ahni ni BAWIPA koe hram vaiteh, nang koe yonpennae phat langvaih tie ngaihrinae ao.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Na pa teh capa e yon kecu dawk thoseh, capa teh na pa e yon kecu dawk thoseh, thet mahoeh. Tami pueng amae yon kecu dawk duenae a khang awh han.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [or] of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment.
Kalan lah lawkcengnae koe, Jentelnaw hoi naranaw hah na phen mahoeh.
18 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Nang teh Izip ram vah san lah ouk na o e hai thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni hote ram thung hoi na ratang e hai thoseh, na pouk han. Hatdawkvah, hete phunglawk hah na hruek pouh awh.
19 When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
Nang ni na laikawk dawk cang na a toteh, na pahnim e cabong hah bout na lat mahoeh. Na tawksak e pueng dawk na BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe nahanelah, hote cabong hah, Jentelnaw hane, naranaw hane, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek han.
20 When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Nange olive paw na karuek toteh, kacawie naw hah bout na karuek mahoeh. Jentelnaw, naranaw, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek pouh awh han.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterwards; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Na misur takha dawk, misur paw na khi toteh, kacawiraenaw hah bout na khi mahoeh. Jentelnaw, naranaw, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek pouh awh han.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Nangmouh teh Izip ram vah san lah ouk na o awh e hah na pouk awh han. Hatdawkvah, hete phung lawk hah na hruek pouh awh.
