Deuteronomy 21
1 Someone may be found murdered, lying in a field in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own, and nobody knows who killed them.
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 Your elders and judges must come and measure the distance from the body to the surrounding towns.
kacuenaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw a tho awh vaiteh, ro hoi a tengpam e khonaw hah a hnai ahla e a bangnue awh han.
3 Then the elders of the town that's found to be nearest to the body shall take a cow that has never been put under a yoke or used for work.
Ro hoi kahnai poung e kho dawk e kacuenaw ni hno boihoeh rae maitola a hrawi awh han.
4 Take the cow to a valley that has a stream running through it and whose ground has never been plowed or sown. Break the cow's neck there beside the stream.
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 The Levitical priests must be there too, because the Lord your God has chosen them to serve him and to give blessings in his name, and to decide on legal disputes and cases of assault.
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 Then all the elders of the town nearest the body are to wash their hands in the stream over the dead cow, saying,
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 “We had nothing to do with this murder, and we didn't see who did 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 Lord, please forgive your people Israel who you rescued, and do not hold them guilty of shedding of innocent blood In this way the guilt for shedding blood will be forgiven.”
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 This is how you are to remove from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the Lord's sight.
Hottelah nang ni BAWIPA hma lah hawinae na sak navah, due kamcu hoeh e thi teh a takhoe han.
10 When you go to war with your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you in defeat, and you capture them,
Nang ni taran na tuk teh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na kut dawk na poe teh na man torei teh,
11 you may see that one of them is a beautiful woman who you like and want to marry.
na man e taminaw hah a meikahawi e napui hah na hmu teh yu lah la hane na ngai pawiteh,
12 Take her home and have her shave her head, cut her nails,
nama im na kaw vaiteh, ahni ni a lû a ngaw vaiteh, a kutpatin a raimen vaiteh,
13 and get rid of the clothes she was wearing when she was captured. After she has lived in your home and has finished her month of mourning for her father and mother, you may sleep with her and marry her, and she shall be your 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 However, if you are not happy with her, you must let her leave and go wherever she wants. You are not allowed to sell her for money or treat her like a slave, because you have brought shame on 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 has two wives, one he loves and one he doesn't, and both have sons by him, but the firstborn son is from the wife he doesn't love,
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 when the time comes for the man to decide what each son will inherit from him, he must not prefer the son of wife he loves and treat him as the firstborn instead of the son of the wife he doesn't love.
ahni ni a râw hah a rei toteh, hmuhma e capa hah pabo vaiteh, a pahren e capa hah na tawmtakhang mahoeh.
17 No. He is to recognize the firstborn, the son of the wife he doesn't love through the usual custom of giving him a double portion of all that he owns. The firstborn son is the firstfruits of his father's strength, and so the rights of the firstborn are 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 someone has a obstinate and rebellious son who doesn't obey his parents and doesn't obey them even when he's punished,
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 his parents must take him to the town elders, to the court in his hometown,
manu na pa ni hote capa hah a sawn vaiteh, kho thung kacuenaw onae koe kho longkha koe a ceikhai vaiteh,
20 and tell them, “Our son is obstinate and rebellious, He doesn't obey us. He's a worthless drunk!”
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 Then all the men of his home town will stone him to death. You must eliminate the evil from among you, and every Israelite will hear about it and be afraid.
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 If someone commits a crime punishable by death, and the person is executed by hanging on a tree,
Due kamcu e yon ka tawn e tami hah thing dawk na kaithi sak pawiteh,
23 don't leave the body hanging there overnight. Make sure you bury the body the same day, because anyone who is hung is under God's curse. Don't defile the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
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.
