Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to YHWH your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to YHWH your God.
Maito thoseh, tu thoseh, toun kaawm e, kakuep hoeh e hoi na BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae na sak mahoeh. Hot patetlah e thuengnae BAWIPA Cathut ni a panuet e lah ao.
2 If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which YHWH your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of YHWH your God, in transgressing his covenant,
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e khonaw dawkvah,
3 and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
kanî, thapa, kalvan hno tie patetnaw, kai ni ka pasoung hoeh e alouke cathutnaw koe na cei awh teh, na bawk awh teh, na BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam na tapuet awh teh, a hmalah yonnae ka sakpayon e napui tongpa ao telah,
4 and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
nang ni kamthang na thai teh akung na khei navah, Isarel miphun dawk hot patetlah e panuettho e hah sakpayon katang pawiteh,
5 then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
hote yonnae ka sak e napui tongpa hah kho longkha koe na ceikhai awh vaiteh, talung hoi na dei awh vaiteh na thei awh han.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Lawkpanuesaknae kapanuekkhaikung kahni touh kathum touh awm pawiteh, due kamcu e tami teh na thei awh katang han. Lawkpanuesaknae kapanuekkhaikung buet touh dueng awm pawiteh, thet mahoeh.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Hote tami hah thei hanelah kapanuekkhaikungnaw ni hmaloe a kut a pho awh hnukkhu, tami pueng ni kut a pho awh han. Hottelah na sak awh pawiteh, nangmouh koehoi yonnae teh takhoe lah ao han.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which YHWH your God shall choose;
Na khothung vah tami kâtheinae, kâyuenae, kâhemnae naw hah nang hanlah lawkcengnae ru poung pawiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe na cei awh vaiteh,
9 and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
hatnae tueng dawkvah, lawkcengkung thaw ka tawk e, vaihma, Levihnaw e hmalah lawkceng lah ao awh han. Ahnimouh ni hai lawkcengnae hah a pathang awh han.
10 You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which YHWH shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe kaawm e naw ni a dei e patetlah nang ni na sak han. Ahnimouh ni na cangkhai e patetlah na sak nahanelah na kâhruetcuet han.
11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Ahnimouh ni na cangkhai e lawkcengnae hoi a dei awh e lawk tâtueng e patetlah na sak han. Ahnimouh ni na patue e cangkhainae dawk hoi avoilah aranglah na phen mahoeh.
12 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before YHWH your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
BAWIPA Cathut hmalah thaw ka tawk e vaihmabawi, lawkcengkungnaw e lawk ngâi laipalah, tarankahawi lah ka sak e teh thei hanlah ao. Hottelah hoi, Isarelnaw thung hoi hot patet e yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
13 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Hote kamthang hah tami pueng ni a thai awh toteh, a taki awh vaiteh, hottelah taranhawi laihoi bout sak awh mahoeh toe.
14 When you have come to the land which YHWH your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me";
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk na pha teh, hawvah kho na sak toteh, ka tengpam vah kaawm e Jentelnaw patetlah siangpahrang buetbuet touh tawn awh sei na tetpawiteh,
15 you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom YHWH your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e na hmaunawngha reirei duengdoeh siangpahrang lah na tawm a han. Na hmaunawngha lah kaawm hoeh e Jentelnaw hah siangpahrang lah na tawm awh mahoeh.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because YHWH has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."
Hote siangpahrang teh ama hanelah marang moikapap paca mahoeh. Marang moikapap a tawn nahanelah Izip ram tami ban sak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote lamthung koe bout na ban mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Ahnie a lungthin a rawp hoeh nahanelah, yu moikapap lat mahoeh. Suingun hai moikapap pâkhueng mahoeh.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
Hettelah ao han. A uknaeram bawitungkhung dawk a tahung toteh, Levih tami, vaihma bawinaw ni a tarawi awh e kâlawk hah cauk lah ama hanelah a thut han.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear YHWH his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Hote cauk teh ama koe ao vaiteh, hnintangkuem a touk han. Hottelah tetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut hah a taki nahanelah thoseh, hete kâlawknaw pueng a kuem nahanelah thoseh, a tarawi nahanelah thoseh, a kamtu thai han.
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Ama e a lungthin hah a hmaunawnghanaw lathueng kâtawm thai hoeh. Kâlawk dawk hoi avoilah aranglah kamlang thai hoeh. Hottelah tetpawiteh, a ram thung Isarelnaw rahak vah, ama hoi a canaw teh a hring a saw awh han.
