Deuteronomy 17
1 “Do not sacrifice to Yahweh our God any cattle or sheep or goats that have any defects, because Yahweh hates that kind of gift.”
Ana damlou gancha kiti phot Pakai, Pathen henga nakatdoh thei lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiya dia hitobang thilpeh hohi thet um ahi.
2 “When you are living in any of the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you, suppose you hear that there is some man or woman who sins by disobeying the agreement that Yahweh has made with you.
Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gam'a nachen tenguleh, nalah uva kona numei hileh pasal hileh Pakai, na Pathen'u mitmua aphalou nabol thei lou diu chule kitepna nasuhboh thei lou diu ahi.
3 Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
Semthu pathen dang angsung, nisa chule ahsiho vamthamjol kitiho jouse angsunga naboh khup theilou diu ahi.
4 If you hear that some person has been doing that, you must investigate it thoroughly. If [you find out that] it is true that this detestable thing has happened in Israel,
Hitobang hohi nakhol chilsoh kei diu ahi. Ajeh chu Israel mite lah a hitobang hi umkha get inte.
5 you must take outside the town the man or woman who has done it. Then you must kill that person by throwing stones at him or her.
Numei hileh pasal hileh hitobanga chon chu, khopi pam lama nodoh ding songa se lih ding ahi.
6 But you are allowed to execute such people only if at least two witnesses testify that they saw them [doing that]. They must not be executed if there is only one witness.
Hinlah mikhat jeng seh thutannan mithat hih un, mithum beh thutanna'a chu thina nachan sah thei diu ahi.
7 The (witnesses/ones who saw them doing it) must be the first ones to throw stones at them. Then the other people [MTY] [should throw stones at them]. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.”
Thutanpa chun songa ase masat ding, chuteng mipin ase ding ahi. Hitia chu nalah uva kona aphalouva chon chu nano doh diu ahi.
8 “Sometimes it will be very difficult for a judge to decide what really happened. He might be trying to decide whether, when someone injured or killed another person, he did it accidentally or deliberately. Or he might be trying to decide if some person is suing another person unfairly. If in some town it is very difficult to know what really happened, with the result that the judge cannot decide it, you should go to the place that Yahweh our God has chosen for you [to worship him].
Nalah uva thilsoh chung thu tanna ahahsat behseh a, hichu phat louna, tol-that, mithat chule dan chung kalvala chon achung thua boina chom chom neiya auma ahileh, hitobang chu Pakai, na Pathen henga nalhut diu ahi.
9 There you should present the case to the descendants of Levi who are the priests, and to the judge who is serving at that time, and they should decide what should be done.
Chule hitobang ho chu danthempuho henga aphatcha napui diu ahi. Amahon achungchang thu angai diu chuteng thu lhuhna asem diu ahi.
10 After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
Amahon thu lhuhna asem uchu Pakai muntheng lama nahin lhut diu, amahon asei bang uva nabol diu ahi.
11 Accept what they have decided, and do what they say that you should do. Do not try to change in any way what they have decided [IDM].
Dan dung juiya thulhuhna chu ahin phondoh tenguleh, thulhuhna jouse chu ahina banga chelha ding, imacha na hapbe thei tah lou diu ahi.
12 You must execute anyone who proudly/arrogantly disobeys the judge or the priest who stands there in the presence of Yahweh [and decides what should be done]. By doing that, you will get rid of evil practices among you.
Koihileh Pakai, Pathen angsunga thutan vaihom ho natohna deilou vetsahna jal'a kisa auma ahileh, thina chang ding ahi. Hitia chu phat louna kiti phot Israel mite lah akona nano mang diu ahi.
13 Then [after that person is executed], all the people will hear about it, and they will be afraid, and none of them will act that way any more.”
Hitobang chu mi jousen ahin jahsoh kei diu, chuteng koima aphalouva chon ngam talou ding ahi.
14 “[I know that] after you have occupied the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you are living there, you will say, ‘We should have a king to rule over us, like the kings that other nations around us have.’
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gamsung nalhun diu ahitai. Hiche gamsung nalhun tenguleh, i-lamkai diuvin leng khat, nam dangte kivaipoh nabang in tungdoh tauhite tia nasei diu ahi.
15 Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.
Chutengleh Israel mite lah a Pakai, Pathen in atundoh ding ahi. Hichu nalah uva mikhat pen pang ding, amavang kholjin mi nalhen thei lou diu ahi.
16 [After he becomes the king], he should not acquire a large number of horses for himself. He should not send people to Egypt to buy horses for him, because Yahweh said to you, ‘Never return to Egypt [for anything’]!
Leng a pang pen ding pen chun, sakol kangtalai ngaichat jeh’a mikhat tou Egypt gam'a sakol kangtalai cho dinga asol thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangho Egypt gam nakile kit thei lou diu ahitai.
17 And he must not have a lot of wives, because if he did that, they would turn him [SYN] away from [worshiping only] Yahweh. And he must not acquire a lot of silver and gold.
Lengpa chun jitampi anei thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai akona apui mang thei diu ahi. Chule ama ding jeng ajong sana leh dangka akikhol thei lou ding ahi.
18 “When he becomes your king, he must [appoint someone to] copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi.
Leng touna mun alo tengleh, amapa chun danbu akilah ding, alal-touna muna chu akikoi ding ahi.
19 He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations [that are written] in these laws.
Hiche danbu lekhajol chu akoma akoi ding adamlai sunga asim jing ding ahi. Hichea kona chu dan leh thupeh ijakai Pakaiya kon in aume ti amu chet ding, dengchang tah’a ajui jing ding ahi.
20 If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is (better/more important) than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years.”
Hiche lekhajol asima kona chu kiletsahna puma, achenkhompi mi jouse sanga chungnung kahi tia umlou ding ahi. Chule hichea kona hi lamchoma kihei mang louva umjing ding kahi tijong ahet doh thei ding ahi. Keima leh ka chilhah ten Israel sung hi akhang akhanga ka vaihop diu ahi, tijong het dohna anei thei diu ahi.
