Deuteronomy 25
1 “When there is a strife between men, and they have come near to the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrongdoer,
Hlang rhoi lakloah tuituknah a om atah laitloeknah la thoeih rhoi saeh lamtah amih rhoi ham laitloek pa uh saeh. Te vaengahaka dueng te tang sak uh saeh lamtahaka halang te boe sak uh saeh.
2 then it has come to pass, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge has caused him to fall down, and [one] has struck him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrongdoing, by number;
Aka halang tah a boh ca hamla om ni. Te vaengah aka halang te lai aka tloekloh bakop sak saeh lamtah a halangnah tarhing neh a ting la a mikhmuh ah taam saeh.
3 he strikes him forty [times]; he is not adding, lest he is adding to strike him above these many stripes, and your brother be lightly esteemed in your eyes.
Anih te voei sawmli lakah a pueh la taam boeh. A pueh la na taam tih hmasoe yet koinih na manucate na mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng la om ve.
4 You do not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
Vaito khaw cang a til vaengah a ka poi pah boeh.
5 When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died and has no son, the wife of the dead is not given to a strange man; her husband’s brother goes in to her, and has taken her to him for a wife, and performs the duty of her husband’s brother;
Manuca thikat la omuh tih amih khuikah pakhatte caaom mueh la a duek atahaka duekkaha yuute imlang kah kholong hlangloh lo boel saeh. Anih te a vahoi rhoek loh kun thil saeh. Amah yuu la lo saeh lamtah yucanah saeh.
6 and it has been, the firstborn which she bears rises for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
Te vaengah caming a cunloh a manucaaka duek ming te thoh pah saeh. Te daengahni anih ming khaw Israelkhui lamloh a hmata pawt eh.
7 And if the man does not delight to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife has gone up to the gate, to the elderly, and said, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up a name for his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother;
Tekah hlangloh a maya yuu te loh ham a ngaih pawt atah a maya yuu khaw vongka khuikah patongrhoek taengah puen saeh lamtah, “Israel khuiah a manuca ming thoh pah ham neh kai yucanah ham a aaltih kai yucanah ham a huem moenih,” ti nah saeh.
8 and [the] elderly of his city have called for him, and spoken to him, and he has stood and said, I have no desire to take her.
Te phoeiah khopuei patong rhoek loh anih te khue uh saeh lamtah amah te dawt uh saeh. Tedae ning mangkhak tih, “Anih loh ham ka ngaih moenih,” a ti atah,
9 Then his brother’s wife has drawn near to him before the eyes of the elderly, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother;
a maya yuu khaw patong rhoek kah mikhmuh ah anih taengla thoeih saeh lamtah a kho dongkah khokhomte dul pah saeh. A maelhmai te a timthoeih pah phoeiah doo saeh lamtah, “A manuca kah imaka thoh pawt hlang te he tlam he saii pah kangna saeh,” ti nah saeh.
10 and his name has been called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
Te dongah anih mingte Israel khuikah khokhomaka dul imkhui la khue uh saeh.
11 When men strive together with one another, and the wife of one has drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his striker, and has put forth her hand, and laid hold on his private parts,
Hlang rhoekte hlang pakhat neh a manuca khaw rhenten hnuei uh thae mai ni. Te vaengah a hlangte anihaka ngawn kut lamloh huul hamla pakhat yuu te ha pawk mai ni. Te vaengah a yuu loh a kut a yueng tih a yah te a thoh atah.
12 then you have cut off her hand; your eye does not spare.
a kut te tloek pah lamtah na mik long khaw rhen boel saeh.
13 You do not have [both] a great stone and a small stone in your bag.
Na sungsa khuikah aka om lungcang pakhat neh pakhat te khaw a yit a len om boel saeh.
14 You do not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house.
Na im khuikah na cangnoek te khaw cangnoek a yit a len om boel saeh.
15 You have a complete and just stone, [and] you have a complete and just ephah, so that they prolong your days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you;
Na coilung te a rhuemtuet neh a duengnah om saeh lamtah na cangnoek khaw a rhoeh khoeng neh a thuem balh la om saeh. Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang m'paek khohmuen ah na hinglung a vang eh.
16 for anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
Te dumlaiaka vai neh aka saii boeih tah BOEIPA na Pathenkaha tueilaehkoi ni.
17 Remember that which Amalek has done to you in the way in your going out from Egypt,
Egypt lamkah na lo tih longpueng ah Amalekloh nang soah a saii te poek lah.
18 that he has met you in the way, and strikes among you all those feeble behind you (when you [were] weary and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
Longpuei ah nang m'mah tih nang lamkah lamhnuk boeihte nang hnukah a tloek. Na buhmueh rhathih nehna bonghnaek vaengah Pathen khaw a rhih moenih.
19 And it has been, in your God YHWH giving rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it, you blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens—you do not forget.”
Tedae nang taengah rho la pang sak ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh m'paek khohmuen kaepvai kah na thunkharhoek boeih kut lamkahte BOEIPA na Pathen loh n'khoem bitni. Te vaengah Amalek poekkoepnah te vaan hmui lamloh khoe ham hnilh boeh.
