Deuteronomy 19
1 When the Lord thy God hath destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to thee, and thou shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in the cities and houses thereof:
Pakai, Pathen in nangho napehnau gamsunga cheng mite ahin suhgam teng, nanghon agamsung pumpiu chuleh a in jouseu nalodiu akhopi uva nachen diu ahi.
2 Thou shalt separate to thee three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give thee in possession,
Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gamsunga na chenlut tenguleh, nanghon hiche gamsung chu chenna dinga thum naso diu ahi.
3 Paving diligently the way: and thou shalt divide the whole province of thy land equally into three parts: that he who is forced to flee for manslaughter, may have near at hand whither to escape.
Hitia chu Pakaiyin napehnau gamsung chu khopi thum naso diu, hiche khopi jousea chu lampi nasem lut cheh diu, nalah uva kona koi tobang mithat auma ahileh, amachu hiche sunga chu jamlut a kihuhdoh thei ding ahi.
4 This shall be the law of the slayer that fleeth, whose life is to be saved: He that killeth his neighbour ignorantly, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before:
Mikhat touvin kidoupi beiya, khat chu amoh tha khah tah a ahileh, khopi khat pen pen achu jamlut a kihihuh hing thei ahi.
5 But to have gone with him to the wood to hew wood, and in cutting down the tree the axe slipped out of his hand, and the iron slipping from the handle struck his friend, and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities aforesaid, and live:
Tekah nan, mikhat chu asopipa toh gamlah lama thing phuh dinga akon doh’a thing aphuh laitah a aheicha lap chu aki khodoh a, asopipa chu akhokhah jeng tah’a ahileh, aheicha chun asopi chu akhokhah a thina atokhah’a ahileh, mithat khapa chu khopi thum holah a khat pen pena jamlut a ahinkho aki huhdoh ding ahi.
6 Lest perhaps the next kinsman of him whose blood was shed, pushed on by his grief should pursue, and apprehend him. if the way be too long, and take away the life of him who is not guilty of death, because he is proved to have had no hatred before against him that was slain.
Chule kihuhdohna dinga khopi chu agamlhat behseh a ahileh, akahlah a phula thei khattouvin ahin delkhuma atha jeng thei ahi. Hinlah mithat khapa chun akidoupi hilouvin, khutsoi jeh a atha khah ahi.
7 Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another.
Hitobang akon kiven doh theina ding chun, keiman naheng uva khopi thum sem uvin kati ahi.
8 And when the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he swore to thy fathers, and shall give thee all the land that he promised them,
Pakai, Pathen in napului, napalui khang uva pat napehsau gamsung hi akehlet ding, agam sung hi aboncha napeh doh diu
9 (Yet so, if thou keep his commandments, and do the things which I command thee this day, that thou love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways at all times) thou shalt add to thee other three cities, and shalt double the number of the three cities aforesaid:
chuteng nanghon khopi thum nalhendoh bediu ahi. (Chingthei tah a kathupeh nangaiyuva Pakai, Pathen nangailut uva alampi nacheuva ahileh Aman hiche gam pumpi hi napeh diu ahi).
10 That innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, lest thou be guilty of blood.
Hitia chu naboluva ahileh, Pakai, Pathen in napehnau hiche gam sunga hi mona beihela thina umlou ding ahi. Chuteng monabei ho thina jal'a mo nachan lou diu ahitai.
11 But if any man hating his neighbour, lie in wait for his life, and rise and strike him, and he die, and he flee to one of the cities aforesaid,
Hinlah koitobang khat chun asopi ahot bola, chang lhih jinga aum a, adel khum jenga ahileh, hiche tolthatpa chu khopi ho lah a khat pena chu jamlut a kisel jeng thei ahi.
12 The ancients of his city shall send, and take him out of the place of refuge, and shall deliver him into the hand of the kinsman of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
Chuteng upa chensge chu kon uva mithat pachu khopi sunga aga hol doh diu, amahon aga mudoh diu amapa chu phulahna a ahin lhut diu, athina ding chan gotna apeh uva, thina achansah diu ahi.
13 Thou shalt not pity him, and thou shalt take away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that it may be well with thee.
Tolthatpa chunga chu lainatna ima nanei lou diu ahi! Hichu Israel mite lah a kona thisan sona chu nasuh bei diu; hichu nangho dinga aphalama pang ding joh ahi.
14 Thou shalt not take nor remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which thy predecessors have set in thy possession. which the Lord thy God will give thee in the land that thou shalt receive to possess.
Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gam sung nalhu tenguleh nanei nagou hou, napu napateuva pat gamgi song kitung hochu khat jeng cha jong nabodoh lou diu ahi.
15 One witness shall not rise up against any man, whatsoever the sin or wickedness be: but in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall stand.
Themmona jouse lah a kona mikhat sehseh in themmo thu aseiya kona, adang khat chu themmo namoh chansah lou diu ahi. Hitobang chu hettohsah mini ham mithum ham ahiteng lebou themmo kichan sah bep ding ahi.
16 If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of transgression,
Midang khat chu muda man meimeiya kona adih louva bol jeng lou ding, hettohsah tothoa doumah a abolthei lou ding,
17 Both of them, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges that shall be in those days.
chule mini chu akidouva ahileh anigela Pakai angsung leh thempu ho masang leh thutan vaihom ho henga hung cheh ding ahi.
18 And when after most diligent inquisition, they shall find that the false witness hath told a lie against his brother:
Chutengleh thutan vaihom hon achan chin thu chu giltah a akhol diu ahi. Hinlah jou leh nal thua Israel khattou ahehset a ahileh,
19 They shall render to him as he meant to do to his brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:
Hitobanga ahehsepa chu gotna peh chang ding ahi. Hitobang thil phalou chu nalah uva kona nasuh mangdiu ahi.
20 That others hearing may fear, and may not dare to do such things.
Chuteng midang jousen ahin jah soh keiyuva, kichat nan alhun den diu, nangho jouse lah a thilse kiti him him abol kit tah lou diu ahi.
21 Thou shalt not pity him, but shalt require life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Hiche hotobang gitlouna ahin koima khoto hih un! Gotna chang dia dan chu, hinkho khela hinkho, mit khela mit, ha khela ha, khut khela khut chule kengphang khela kengphang lah ding ahi.
