Deuteronomy 25
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
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 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
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 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
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 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the grain.
Cangkatin lahun e maito hah a pahni moum pouh hanh.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.
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 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
Isarel miphun dawk hmau min a kahma hoeh nahanelah, camin teh, kadout e na pa kacue e min a phu han.
7 And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
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 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take 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 Then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother’s house.
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 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
A hnukkhu vah, ahni hah khokkhawm rading e miphun telah kaw lah ao han.
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
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 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
hote napui e kut hah tâtueng pouh han. Na pahren mahoeh.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Na yawngya dawk kalen e khinglung, kathounge khinglung tie kâvan hoeh e khinglung na awm sak mahoeh.
14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
Nama im vah khingnae kalen kathoung na awm sak mahoeh.
15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee.
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 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Yhwh thy 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 Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâco teh kahlawng na cei toteh,
18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not 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 Therefore it shall be, when Yhwh thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
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.
