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,
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 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;
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 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.
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 You do not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
Cangkatin lahun e maito hah a pahni moum pouh hanh.
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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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 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 has been called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
A hnukkhu vah, ahni hah khokkhawm rading e miphun telah kaw lah ao han.
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,
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 you have cut off her hand; your eye does not spare.
hote napui e kut hah tâtueng pouh han. Na pahren mahoeh.
13 You do not have [both] a great stone and a small stone in your bag.
Na yawngya dawk kalen e khinglung, kathounge khinglung tie kâvan hoeh e khinglung na awm sak mahoeh.
14 You do not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house.
Nama im vah khingnae kalen kathoung na awm sak mahoeh.
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 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 anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
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 that which Amalek has done to you in the way in your going out from Egypt,
Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâco teh kahlawng na cei toteh,
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.
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 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.”
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.
