Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is some legal argument between two people, they are to go to court to have the case judged, in order to justify the one who is right and condemn the one who is wrong.
Tami reira kâyue pawiteh, lawkcengim vah a cei awh vaiteh, lawkcengkung ni ahnimanaw hah lawk a ceng han. Kalan e tami hah yon hloutsak nahanelah thoseh, ka yon e teh sungsak nahanelah thoseh lawk na ceng han.
2 If the person who is guilty is sentenced to be flogged, the judge shall order them to lie down and be flogged before him with the number of lashes the crime deserves.
Ka yon e hah hem kamcu pawiteh, lawkcengkung ni a hmalah ao sak vaiteh, a yon hoi kamcu lah nâyittouh tie hoi a hem han.
3 They are not to receive more than forty lashes. More than that would be to publicly humiliate them.
Hatei, avai 40 hlak kapap lah na hem mahoeh. Hot hlak kapap lah na hem pawiteh, na hmaunawngha teh na hmalah yeirai a phu han doeh.
4 Don't muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.
Cangkatin lahun e maito hah a pahni moum pouh hanh.
5 When two brothers live near to each other and one of them dies without having a son, the widow is not to marry a stranger outside the family. Her husband's brother is to marry her and sleep with her, fulfilling the requirements of a brother-in-law to provide her with children.
Reirei kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw thung dawkvah, buetbuet touh ni ca sak laipalah dout pawiteh, hote napui teh alouke tamikathan hoi kâyuva mahoeh. A vâ e nawngha ni a paluen vaiteh, a yu lah awm khai naseh.
6 The first son she has will be named after the dead brother, so that his name won't be forgotten in Israel.
Isarel miphun dawk hmau min a kahma hoeh nahanelah, camin teh, kadout e na pa kacue e min a phu han.
7 However, if the man refuses to marry his brother's widow, she shall go to the elders at the town gate and tell them, “My husband's brother is refusing to keep his brother's name alive in Israel. He doesn't want to perform the requirements of a brother-in-law for me.”
A nawngha ni a hmau e yu hah la hane ngai hoehpawiteh, napui ni kacuenaw onae koe, kho longkha koe a cei vaiteh, ka vâ e nawngha ni, a hmau e min hah Isarel miphun thung caksak hanelah ngai hoeh. A sak hane kawi hai sak hane ngai hoeh telah dei pawiteh,
8 The town elders are to summon him and talk with him. If he continues to refuse and says, “I don't want to marry her,”
khothung vah kacuenaw ni ahni hah a kaw awh vaiteh, a pacei awh han. Ahni ni hai hote napui hah ka lat ngai hoeh telah muentakuen lah awm pawiteh,
9 his brother's widow is to confront him in the presence of the elders, pull off his sandal, spit in his face, and announce, “This is what happens to the man who refuses to keep his brother's family name alive.”
a hmau e yu ni kacuenaw e hmalah, ahni koe rek a cei vaiteh, ahnie khokkhawm hah a rading pouh vaiteh, a minhmai dawk a tamthawi pouh vaiteh, hmau e im kangdue sak hanlah ka ngai e tami koe hettelah ti hanelah ao telah a dei pouh awh han.
10 From then on his family name in Israel will be called “The Family of the Pulled-off Sandal.”
A hnukkhu vah, ahni hah khokkhawm rading e miphun telah kaw lah ao han.
11 If two men are fighting, and one of their wives intervenes to save her husband from being beaten, and she grabs hold of the attacker's genitals,
Tami reira a kâyue awh navah, buet touh e a yu ni amae vâ kabawp han a ngai dawkvah, alouke tongpa e minro hah sawn pouh boipawiteh,
12 you are to cut her hand off. Don't show her any mercy.
hote napui e kut hah tâtueng pouh han. Na pahren mahoeh.
13 Don't have two different measuring weights in your bag, one that's heavy and one that's light.
Na yawngya dawk kalen e khinglung, kathounge khinglung tie kâvan hoeh e khinglung na awm sak mahoeh.
14 Don't have two different measuring containers in your house, one that's large and one that's small.
Nama im vah khingnae kalen kathoung na awm sak mahoeh.
15 Make sure you always use accurate and true weights and measures. In that way you will have long lives in the country the Lord your God is giving you.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk na hringyung a vang nahanelah, kahman e khinglung, kahman e yawcu dueng hah na hno han.
16 Anyone who doesn't do so and cheats like this offends the Lord your God.
Dei tangcoung e hno ka sak e tami pueng hoi kamsoum hoeh lah ka sak tami pueng teh, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your way out of Egypt.
Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâco teh kahlawng na cei toteh,
18 The came out to confront you when you were tired and weary from your journey, and they attacked all those of you who were lagging behind. They didn't have any respect for God.
na tha a baw teh na tawn lahun nah, na hnukkâbangnaw, a thakayounnaw hah Amaleknaw ni lamthung dawkvah a thei awh e hai thoseh, Cathut hah a taki awh hoeh e hai thoseh, pouk la a.
19 Once the Lord your God gives you peace after fighting your enemies in the country that he's giving you to take over and own, you are to wipe out even the memory of the Amalekites from the earth. Don't forget!
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni râw lah na poe e ram dawk, na tengpam kaawm e taran pueng e kut dawk hoi na hlout sak teh yawhawi na poe toteh, Amaleknaw heh pouknae ao hoeh nahanelah, kalvan rahim vah na raphoe awh han. Hot hah na pahnim mahoeh.
