Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the children of the Lord your God. Don't mutilate yourselves or shave your forehead like pagans do when they mourn the dead,
Nangho Pakai, na Pathen a mong nahinau photchetna ding in, nachalsam kalval uva navotol louhel diu ahi. Hichu athiho lunghempina ahi.
2 because you are a holy people who belong to the Lord your God. The Lord chose you as his special people out of all the nations on earth.
Pakai, na Pathen diuva nangho atheng nahi tauve, leiset chunga nam jouse lah a goulu pena nalhen doh’u ahitai.
3 You must not eat anything repulsive.
Chule gancha boh kiti phot naneh thei lou diu ahi.
4 These are the animals that you are allowed to eat: cattle, sheep, goats,
Hichengse vang hi naneh thei diu ahi: bongchal, kelngoi, kelcha,
5 deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
sajuh, pelkai, sakhi, gam kel, chule molchunga kelngoi jaona neneh thei diu ahi.
6 You can eat any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.
Nanghon a-an lhai umho naneh thei diu ahi.
7 But you are not allowed to eat those that either chew the cud or have a divided hoof. This includes: camels, rabbits, and rock hyraxes. Even though they chew the cud, they don't have a divided hoof. You must treat them as unclean.
Hinlah a-an lhai umlou sa vang chu naneh lou diu ahi. Hichu sangong sang, talep, bui amaho cheng hin an-lhai aneiyun ahinlah a-ihdoh pouvin ahi. Hijeh achu hiche gancha hohi nangho dinga atheng lou ahi.
8 The same applies to the pig. Even though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. So you must treat it as unclean. You must not eat its meat or touch its dead body.
Chule vohcha jong naneh lou diu ahi. Anlhai aneiyin hinlah a-ihdoh poi, hijeh achu nangho dia atheng lou ahiye. Hiche gancha hose hi neh jong naneh thei lou diu chule tohjong natoh khah lou diu ahi.
9 When it comes to creatures that live in the water, you are allowed to eat anything that has fins and scales.
Twikhanglen'a cheng ganhing lah a, aling nei naneh thei diu ahi.
10 But you must not eat anything that does not have fins and scales. You must treat them as unclean.
Hijeh chun twikhanglen'a um alingnei naneh diu, hinlah aling nei lou kitiphot vang naneh lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu hichengse hi nangho dia atheng lou ahi.
11 You are allowed to eat any clean bird.
Chule nanghon chungleng vacha namkim naneh thei diu ahi.
12 But you must not eat the following: eagle, griffon vulture, bearded vulture,
Hinlah vacha hichengse hi naneh thei lou diu ahi: muthang chule mubong naneh lou diu,
13 buzzard, kites, any kind of falcon,
chule Muvom, muthi, sumbupi,
14 any member of the crow family,
va-ah leh ama tobang va dang jouse,
15 tawny owl, long-eared owl, gulls, any kind of hawk,
muthi, muthi-muhchom, chule adang phabep jaona,
16 little owl, eagle owl, barn owl,
sumbupi nou, sumbupi len, sumbu changlit,
17 desert owl, Egyptian vulture, fish owl,
muthibong, sumbu changlit, sumbupi, Egypt mite muthi,
18 storks, any kind of heron, hoopoe, or bats.
bah chule adang phabep jaona naneh lou diu ahi.
19 All insects that fly are unclean to you; you must not eat them.
Tollham a ganhing vahle jouse hi naneh lou diu ahi, ajeh chu atheng lou ahi.
20 But you are allowed to eat any clean animal that has wings.
Hinlah vacha lhanei atheng kitiphot chu naneh diu ahi.
21 You must not eat any animal that dies. You can give it to a foreigner in your town, and they can eat it, or you can sell it to a foreigner. You, however, are a holy people who belong to the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Ganthikam kiti naneh louhel diu ahi. Nakhopi sunguva kholjin miho naneh sah thei diu ahilouleh na hetkhah lou mikoma najoh thei diu ahi. Amavang nanghon naneh thei louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen diuva atheng nahiuve. Chule nanghon kelchanou chu kelchapi noituiya nahon lou diu ahi.
22 Make sure you pay a tithe of every crop grown each year in your fields.
Gasoh lah a somakhat ding nakoi doh diu gasoh jouse lah a, somakhat kumseh le na katdoh diu ahi.
23 You are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose to live with you, so that you will learn to always respect the Lord your God.
Hiche somakhat chu Pathen houna muna nahin choi diu Pakai, Pathen in amin dopsang nadinga alhenna muna chu nahin choi diu, hichu Pakai angsunga naneh diu ahi.
24 However, if it's too far to carry all the tithe that the Lord your God has blessed you with, because the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you is too distant,
Pakai, na Pathen uvin phatthei nahin boh tenguleh mun gam lha tah hijongleh lousohga tamtah nalo diu, chuteng hoilai muna kon hijongleh somakhat nahin choi diu ahi.
25 then you can exchange it for money, take the money with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.
Amun chu agamlhat behseh a ahileh, hiche gasoh chu najoh diu najohna manu vang chu Pakai, na Pathen'u houna muna chu nalhut diu ahi.
26 Then you can spend the money on anything you like—cattle, sheep, wine, alcoholic drink, or anything else you want. Then you can have a feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your family.
Nahung lhun tenguleh, nanghon nadeichan nasumuva nakichoh diu bongchal, kelngoi, kelcha, lengpitwi chule adang donthei nachoh jeng theiyu ahi. Chuteng nangho leh nainsung mi teuvin Pakai ansunga an-najon khom diu ahi.
27 Don't forget to take care of the Levites in your town, because they don't have any share in the allotment of land.
Chule nalah uva Levi mite nahebol jing diu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho chenna ding nei louva um ahiuve.
28 At the end of every third year, collect a tenth of all your produce for that year and store it in your town.
Kumthum lhinsih leh somakhat achombeh a nahin choi diu, hichu khopi toh kinaichaa nakhol khom diu,
29 This way the Levites (who don't have any share in the allotment of land), the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows in your town will be provided with what they need. The Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
hichu Levi mite napeh diu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho gam nei louva khosa ahiuvin, hichu amahon aneh uva lungkim sela umdiu ahit. Chutile Pakai, na Pathen uvin phatthei naboh diu ahi.
