< Deuteronomy 19 >
1 When the Lord thy God shall roote out the nations, whose lande the Lord thy God giueth thee, and thou shalt possesse them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
BOEIPA na Pathen loh namtom rhoek te a phae. Amih kah khohmuen te BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ham ni a khueh. Te dongah amih te na haek tih a khopuei rhoek neh amih im dongah kho na sak vaengah,
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the middes of thy lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang pang sak ham a khueh na khohmuen khui ah khopuei pathum te namah loh hoep.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and deuide the coastes of the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite, into three parts, that euery manslayer may flee thither.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'pang sak na khohmuen rhi ah longpuei sael lamtah pathum la saii. Te daengah ni hlang aka ngawn tholh boeih loh te lam te rhaelrham vetih a om thai eh.
4 This also is ye cause wherfore the manslayer shall flee thither, and liue: who so killeth his neighbor ignorantly, and hated him not in time passed:
Tahae olka he tah hlang aka ngawn tih pahoi aka rhaelrham hamla om pah saeh. Te daengah ni hlaem hlaemvai ah khaw hmuhuet ngawn pawt dae poek mueh la a hui aka ngawn te a hing eh.
5 As hee that goeth vnto the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand striketh with the axe to cut downe the tree, if the head slip from the helue, and hit his neighbour that he dieth, the same shall flee vnto one of the cities, and liue,
Thing top hamla a hui neh duup la cet tih thing a vung vaengah a kut dongkah hai te vik tling mai ni. Te vaengah haitueng dongkah thi coe tih a hui te a dae dongah a duek atah te rhoek kah khopuei khat khat khuila rhaelrham saeh lamtah hing saeh.
6 Least the auenger of the blood follow after the manslayer, while his heart is chafed, and ouertake him, because the way is long, and slaie him, although he be not worthy of death, because he hated him not in time passed.
Thii phu aka suk loh a thin ling tih hlang aka ngawn hnuk te a hloem vaengah longpuei sen vetih a kae vaengah a hinglu vik ngawn pah ve. A duek te hlaem hlavai vaengah khaw a hmuhuet van oeh pawt dongah a dueknah ham tah laitloeknah khueh boeh.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt appoint out three cities for thee.
Te dongah ni kai loh, “Namah ham khopuei pathum hoep,” ka ti tih nang kang uen.
8 And when the Lord thy God enlargeth thy coastes (as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers) and giueth thee all the lande which he promised to giue vnto thy fathers,
Na pa rhoek taengkah a toemngam vanbangla na khorhi te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a aeh tih na pa rhoek taengah paek hamla a thui khohmuen pum nang taengah m'paek vaengah,
9 (If thou keepe all these commandements to doe them, which I commaund thee this day: to wit, that thou loue the Lord thy God, and walke in his waies for euer) then shalt thou adde three cities moe for thee besides those three,
tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih he na vai ham neh BOEIPA na Pathen te na lungnah tih a longpuei ah hnin takuem pongpa hamla ngaithuen lamtah he rhoek pathum he khopuei pathum nen khaw namah loh koep thap.
10 That innocent bloude be not shed within thy land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite, lest bloud be vpon thee.
Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ham rho la m'paek na khohmuen ah ommongsitoe kah a thii he long boel saeh. Na pum dongah hlang thii kap van ve.
11 But if a man hate his neighbour, and lay waite for him, and rise against him, and smite any man that he die, and flee vnto any of these cities,
Tedae hlang pakhat aka om loh a hui te a hmuhuet tih anih a rhongngol thil mai ni. Te phoeiah a pai thil tih a hinglu te a ngawn. A hui te duek tih hlang aka ngawn te he rhoek kah khopuei khat khat la a rhaelrham atah.
12 Then the Elders of his citie shall send and set him thence, and deliuer him into the hands of the auenger of the blood, that he may die.
A khopuei kah patong rhoek te tueih uh saeh lamtah hlang aka ngawn te lo uh saeh. Te phoeiah anih te thii phu aka suk kut ah tloeng uh saeh lamtah duek saeh.
13 Thine eye shall not spare him, but thou shalt put away the crie of innocent blood from Israel, that it may goe well with thee.
Anih te na mik long khaw rhen boel saeh. Ommongsitoe kah thii aka long sak te Israel khui lamloh na voeih daengah ni namah ham khaw a then.
14 Thou shalt not remooue thy neighbours marke, which they of olde time haue set in thine inheritance, that thou shalt inherite in the lande, which ye Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang kah na pang ham m'paek khohmuen kah rho na pang dongah hlamat kah rhoek loh a suem uh na hui kah rhi te rhawt pah boeh.
15 One witnes shall not rise against a man for any trespasse, or for any sinne, or for any fault that hee offendeth in, but at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses shall the matter be stablished.
Thaesainah khat khat dongah khaw, tholhnah khat khat neh lai a hmuh vaengkah boirhaem lai khat khat dongah khaw hlang pakhat taengah laipai pakhat bueng pai tarha boel saeh. Laipai panit pathum kah olthui nen mah olka khaw cak sak saeh.
16 If a false witnesse rise vp against a man to accuse him of trespasse,
Laipai loh koeknah doo ham rhung la hlang taengah kuthlahnah la a pai atah,
17 Then both the men which striue together, shall stand before ye Lord, euen before the Priests and the Iudges, which shall be in those daies,
Tuituknah aka om hlang panit te BOEIPA mikhmuh, khosoih neh amah khohnin kah laitloek la aka om rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pai rhoi saeh.
18 And the Iudges shall make diligent inquisition: and if the witnesse be found false, and hath giuen false witnes against his brother,
Te vaengah laitloek rhoek loh khaeh khaeh cae saeh. Tedae laithae kah laipai mai loh a manuca te laithae laipai ol neh a doo atah,
19 Then shall yee doe vnto him as hee had thought to doe vnto his brother: so thou shalt take euil away forth of the middes of thee.
a manuca taengah saii ham a mangtaeng vanbangla anih ham khaw saii uh. Na khui lamkah boethae te te tlam ni na hnawt eh.
20 And the rest shall heare this, and feare, and shall henceforth commit no more any such wickednes among you.
Te daengah ni aka sueng rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih na khui ah hebang hno thae koep saii ham a khoep uh pawt eh.
21 Therefore thine eye shall have no compassion, but life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foote for foote.
Te dongah hinglu yueng la hinglu van, mik yueng la mik, no yueng la no, kut yueng la kut, kho yueng la kho om saeh lamtah na mik long khaw rhen boel saeh.
