Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto Yahweh thy God a bullock or a sheep wherein is a blemish, any unseemly thing: for an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, it would be.
Hno thae he BOEIPA na Pathen kah tueilaehkoi ni. A pum dongah a lolhmaih khat khat aka om vaito neh tu te BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na nawn mahpawh.
2 When there shall be found in thy midst, within any of thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, man or woman who doeth the thing which is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God by transgressing his covenant;
A paipi a poe tih BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah thae aka saii huta tongpa loh BOEIPA na Pathen kah m'paek na vongka khui boeih kah namah taengah a pongpa te a hmuh bal oeh atah,
3 yea hath gone, and served other gods, and bowed down unto them, —whether unto the sun or unto the moon or unto any of the host of the heavens which I have not commanded;
pathen tloe taengah thothueng ham neh khomik taengah, hla taengah, vaan caempuei khat khat taengah aka bakop ham kang uen moenih.
4 and it shall be told thee and thou shalt hear, —and shalt enquire diligently, and lo! true—certain, is the report, this abominable thing hath been done in Israel,
Nang taengkah a thui te na yaak vaengah tuektuek cae lamtah tueilaehkoi hno he Israel khui lamkah loh a saii te oltak la a sikim atah,
5 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman who hath done this wicked thing, within thy gates—the man, or the woman, —and shalt stone them with stones that they die.
huta khaw tongpa khaw rhen khuen. Na vongka khuiah khoboe thae aka saii tah huta khaw tongpa khaw lungto neh dae lamtah duek uh kangna saeh.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death, —he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
Aka duek tueng khaw laipai pakhat kah a ka dongkah neh duek tarha pawt vetih laipai panit pathum ka dongkah ol a om daengah ni a duek eh.
7 The hand of the witnesses, shall be upon him first to put him to death, and the hand of all the people, afterwards, —so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
Anih duek sak ham vaengah lamhma la laipai rhoek loh kut hlah thil saeh. A hnuk la pilnam pum loh kut hlah saeh lamtah na khui lamkah boethae te hnawt.
8 When any matter of judgment, shall be too difficult for thee—between blood and blood between plea and plea or between stroke and stroke, matters of contention within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and go up unto the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose;
Laitloeknah dongah olka te nang ham rhaisang tih na vongka khuikah tuituknah olka a om vaengah thii hamla thii, dumlai hamla dumlai, nganboh hamla nganboh van a ti coeng atah thoo lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh nah hmuen la cet.
9 and shalt come in unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge who shall be in those days, —and shalt enquire and they shall declare unto thee, the sentence of judgment;
Te phoeiah Levi khosoih rhoek neh amah khohnin kah laitloek la aka om te paan lamtah dawtlet. Te phoeiah nang ham laitloeknah dumlai te han thui uh saeh.
10 and thou shalt do according to the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, out of that place, which Yahweh, shall choose, —yea thou shalt observe to do according to all which they shall direct thee:
BOEIPA kah a coelh nah hmuen ah nang ham a thui uh olka tarhing te tah saii. Te dongah nang n'thuinuet boeih vanbangla saii ham ngaithuen.
11 according to the direction wherewith they direct thee and after the judgment which they shall announce to thee, shalt thou do, —thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee to the right hand or to the left.
Nang ham han thuinuet uh olkhueng neh nang taengah han thui uh laitloeknah a tarhing ah saii lamtah nang hamla a thui uh olka te khaw banvoei bantang la phaelh boeh.
12 And, the man who shall do presumptuously by not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there to Yahweh thy God, or unto the judge, that man shall die, and so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.
Hlang he althanah neh aka saii, na Pathen BOEIPA taengah thotat ham neh laitloek ham aka pai khosoih ol aka hnatun pawt tah, te hlang te duek saeh lamtah Israel lamkah boethae te khoe pah.
13 And, all the people, shall hear and fear, —and shall not act presumptuously any more.
Te daengah ni pilnam boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih koep a lokhak uh pawt eh.
14 When thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, and shalt possess it and dwell therein, —and shalt say—I will set over me a king, like all the nations that are round about me,
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek khohmuen te na kun tih na pang phoeikah kho na sak vaengah, “Ka kaepvai kah namtom rhoek bangla kamah soah manghai ka khueh van ni,” na ti oeh atah,
15 thou shalt, set, over thee as king, him whom Yahweh thy God shall choose, —out of the midst of thy brethren, shalt thou set over thee a king, thou mayest not appoint over thee a man that is a foreigner, who is not thy brother.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah a coelh na manuca khui kah te tah namah soah manghai la na khueh rhoe la na khueh ni. Namah sokah aka manghai la hlang na tuek vaengah kholong hlang tah namah soah na khueh ham coeng thai mahpawh. Anih te na manuca moenih.
16 Moreover he shall not multiply to himself horses, neither shall he cause the people to return to Egypt that he may multiply horses, —when, Yahweh, hath said unto you, Ye shall not again return this way any more.
Tekah manghai loh marhang khaw amah ham ping sak boel saeh. Marhang aka ping sak ham khaw pilnam te Egypt la na balkhong sak mahpawh. Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh nang taegah, “Tekah longpuei ah koep balkhong ham na khoep mahpawh,” a ti tih a thui.
17 Neither shall he multiply to himself wives, that his heart turn not aside, —nor silver and gold, shall he multiply to himself greatly.
A yuu khaw yet boel saehlamtah a thinko phaelh boel saeh. Tangka neh sui khaw amah ham muep kuk boel saeh.
18 But it shall be when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, then shall he write for himself a copy of this law upon a scroll, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
A ram kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol ham a om vaengah Levi khosoih rhoek taengkah cabu dongah aka om olkhueng te cabu a toeng dongah amah ham koep daek saeh.
19 so shall it be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life, —that he may learn to revere Yahweh his God, to observe all the words of this law and these statutes to do them:
Te phoeiah cabu te amah taengah om saeh lamtah a hing tue khui boeih ah amah ham tae saeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA a Pathen a rhih khaw, olkhueng olka boeih a ngaithuen ham neh he rhoek kah oltlueh a vai ham khaw a cang eh.
20 that his heart may not be lifted up above his brethren, and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, —that he may prolong his days over his kingdom—he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
A manuca te a thin pom thil boel saeh lamtah olpaek te banvoei bantang la phaelh boel saeh. Te daengah ni Israel lakli kah amah ram ah amah neh a ca rhoek loh a hinglung a vang eh.
