< Deuteronomy 22 >
1 “If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].
Na sopi bongchal ham khat tou avah mang na mua ahileh, hichu nakimu mosah lou diu, don-nahsah mo’a na koi lou diu, ama vang namu chan uchu nasopi henga nahin kailut joh diu ahi.
2 But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.
Hiche gancha neipa chu nangma inlam toh kigam lha a um ahia, achenna nahet lou'uva ahileh agancha chu nanghon na inlam uva nahin kai diu, aneipa na sopipan ahung hol kahsea na ventup peh diu ahung hol tengleh phate chaa na lepeh diu ahi.
3 You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.
Asangan ham khat namu tah ujongleh hitia chu nabol diu, asangkhol ham namu ujongleh hiti ma achu nabol peh diu ahi. Ipi thil le lo hijongleh nanghon nasopi thil namu khah tah’uva ahileh nale peh cheh cheh diu, hitia chu nakithopi diu ahi.
4 “And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].
Na sopi khat sangan ham, bongchal ham khat chu lampia alhusa namu khah’uva ahileh, hichu napanpi tei diu ahi. Na sopi gancha alhua chu na phoh doh peh diu, nahuh doh diu ahi.
5 “Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.
Chule nalah’uva numeiyin pasal chunga kaisa akivonna ponsil chu kivonnaa aman thei louhel ding, hitobanga chon chan chu Pakai, Pathen dinga thet umtah ahi.
6 “If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].
Vabu hamkhat chu na tokhah’uva hichu tollham ham thing chung ham khat a um, vabu sunga chu atuiham anou ham khat chu vapin aop khum lai ahileh, hichu anousen puma namat thauva nasuh gam loudiu ahi.
7 You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.
Ahinlah vapi chu nadel mang'uva ahileh, anou chengse chu nakilo thei diu ahi, achutileh phat theina jong nachan diu chule nangho dinga hinkho sotnaa pang ding ahi.
8 “If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).
Chule nanghon in thah nasah teng ujongleh, bilha nunga kona mi akhih lhahna lou ding, thisan jal'a themmona achuhna lou dinga, bilha gol jousea aki-tanden nading nasem peh diu ahi.
9 “Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].
Chule na lengpi lei laiyuva muchi ni natu kop thei lou diu, muchi ni natu kop’uva ahileh hichu munthenga katdoh dinga ki sang thei lou ding ahi.
10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
Bongchal ham sangan ham khat chu, lou kainaa naman kop thei lou diu ahi.
11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
Tupat kihel leh pat chom kihel khom jong mangchaa, kisilna a naman thei lou diu ahi.
12 “[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.
Na kivonnau ding na sangkhol chol'u mong ning lam lia chu, pat hol khat cheh naba diu ahi.
13 “Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,
Pasal khat chun numei aji dinga akipuija, alup khompia chujou le numeinu chu athet bol jeng lou ding ahi.
14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
Hiche numei nu chu jachat naleh jumna dimset’a alha jenga, hiche numei nu chu kaji ding in kapuiyin kaluppin ahileh, atheng lou mitoh lum khomsa ahitai, ti asei khah ngei ngeiya ahileh,
15 If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.
Hiche numei nu chu anu leh apan jong khopi sung lam kelkot’a thutan vaihom ho henga chu apui lut lhon ding, amanu hi atheng mong mong ahi nai ti, photchetna aga bol lhon ding ahi.
16 Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.
Chuteng numeinu pan jong hitia hi aphondoh ding, hiche pasalpa toh'hin kicheng ding mong monga kana pehdohsa chu ahitai. Ahinlah pasalpan vang muda in solmang ding agoe, tia asei ding ahi.
17 And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.
Chugoh keu hilouvin, amanu chunga hin jachatna tampi alhunsah in, “Hiche nachanu chunga hin nungah thengsel ahina ima kamu doh tapoi,” tia asei ding ahi. Chuteng apan jong ka chanu hi nungah theng mong mong ahi, tiphot chetna hicheng hi ahiye tia asei ding, ajehchu hitobang phot chetna dinga chu numeinu anu leh apan jong khopi kelkot thutan vaihom ho, henga aphondoh lhonna pon asil lhon ding ahi.
18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
Chujou tengleh khopi sunga upa hon jong, hiche pasalpa chu amat uva ajep diu ahi.
19 They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.
Chule pasalpa chu dangka shekel jakhat a aleu sah diu, hiche dangka shekel jakhat chu nu ngahnu pa chang ding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche pasalpa chun Israel nungah khat aminset sah jeh ahi. Chule numeinu jong jia anei ding, ahinkho lhum keiya dinga ajia pang ding ahi.
20 “But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,
Amavang nungahnu chunga chu, athenge tiphot chetna aum tah louva ahileh,
21 they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
Amaho chun hiche nungahnu chu apa in kot phunga kona ahin kai doh diu, chuteng khopi sunga cheng josuen amanu chu songa aselih jeng diu ahi. Ajeh chu hiche numeinu chu chondih louna mangchan aki ngolsah tan, Israel insunga, apa insunga hiti chun ana chon tan ahi. Hitobanga chon chan phalou jouse chu nasuh dih jing diu ahi.
22 “If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.
Chule pasal khat chun pasal dang jikhat chu aluppi khah tah'a ahileh, numeinu ahin pasal pa ahin anigel lhonna thina chang lhon ding ahi. Hitobang achu Israel sunga thil dihlou chonna jouse nasuh bei diu ahi.
23 “Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.
Chule khopi sunga nungah thengsel khat chu pasal khat touvin, kholai dung ham khat a chu aki timatpi jeng tah'a ahileh,
24 You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
Hitobanga chon teni chu ani lhonna khopi sung lam kelkot phunga nahin kaidoh diu, ani lhona songa na selih jeng diu ahi. Ajeh chu numeinu jong chu apanpi thei mi tampi kho sunga aum in, ahinlah ama peng doh louhel in aum in, pasal pan jong aheng akom chu asuh set jeng ahin, hitobang chondan dih lou jouse hi nalah uva kona nasuh thengsel diu ahi.
25 “But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.
Hinlah nungah khat chu mitoh lumkhomsa ama chu gamlah a pasal khat touvin ana lupkhom pia, pasalpa chun numeinu chu tha guma amat chah a aki timat pia ahileh, hiche dinmuna vang hi pasal pa bouseh thina chang ding ahi.
26 You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,
Hitobang dinmun thilsoh chung chang hi, numeinu ima kilo theilou ding ahi. Ajeh chu numeinu chunga hin thina chan gotna pehna ding aum pon, pasal khat in asopipa lam ajot lutna thina achansah tobang ahi.
27 because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.
Ajeh chu hiche numeinu chu pasal pan gamlah a adel khum a aki timatpi ahin, numei khangdong nun jong kithopi ding ngaicha in apeng in, hinlah koiman ajah peh lou ahi.
28 “If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,
Chule pasal khat touvin nungah theng tah khat chu alup pi khah tah a, thahat husana amanu chu aki timat pia alup pettah lhon akimat doh a ahileh,
29 that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.
Hiche pasalpa, nungahnu ki timatpi pa chun numeinu pachu dangka shekel somnga apeh ding ahi, ajeh chu amapa chun numeinu chu aki timatpisa ahitan, a hinkho lhum keiya ji dinga aki puiya hinkho aman ding ahi.
30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
Koitobang pasal khat chun, apa jinu chu jia agel thei louhel ding chule apa ji khat chu anih aho peh thei lou ding ahi.
