< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 “Any man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall not be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.
Pasal khat chu til lahsa leh hinpi kitansa ahileh pampeiya um ahi. Amapa chu Pakai hou’in sung kikhopna muna hunglut thei talou ding ahi.
2 “No (illegitimate person/person whose mother and father were not married), or descendant of that person, extending to the tenth generation, shall be included as one of Yahweh’s people.
Chule nalah uva kona noti cha jeng jong Pakai houbung sunga jao thei lou ding, khang som changeiya noti chanu—chapa teho chu khat jeng cha jong, Pakai houbung sunga lha thei lou diu ahi.
3 “No one from the Ammon or Moab people-groups shall be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation.
Hitia chu Ammon mite ahin, Moab mite ani lhona Pakai houbung sunga lha theilou diu ahi. Khangsom chan geiya Pakai houbung sunga lutthei lou diu, hichu imatih chana ding ahi.
4 One reason is that their [leaders] refused to give your ancestors food and water when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. Another reason is that they wanted to pay Balaam, the son of Beor from Pethor [town] in Mesopotamia, to curse you Israelis.
Ajeh chu nangho Egypt gamsunga kona nahung potdoh uchun, lampi dunga changlhah leh tuisih neo chan jong nana lamto pouvin ahi. Amavang Mesopotomia gamsunga Pethor muna Beor chapa Balaam chu ana lamhil uvin, achena mun chana dingin aga thah kit un ahi.
5 But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
Ahinlah Pakai, Pathen in Balaam thusei chu anahsah pon, Pakai, Pathen in Balaam henga gaosapna aneiyin, chuin nangma ding’in phatthei nan aheidoh tai, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nangma nangai lun ahi.
6 As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people-groups or enable them to prosper.
Imatih chana nanghon amaho chamlen nading leh ahaosatna diuva lampi ima nasem doh peh thei lou diu ahi.
7 “But do not despise anyone from the Edom people-group, because they are [descendants of your ancestor Jacob], just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because [they treated your ancestors well when] they first lived in Egypt.
Amavang Edom mite kiti nolna nanei thei lou diu, nangho dinga na sopiu ahi. Egypt mite jong thetbolna nanei lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu nangho jong Egypt gamsunga ana khopemsa nahiuve.
8 The children and grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt [who live among you] may be (included among/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.”
Edom le Egypt mite chengse vang khang thum alhin tengleh, Pakai houbung sunga lhathei diu ahi.
9 “When your soldiers are living in tents at a time of fighting your enemies, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God.
Chule namelmateu toh gal kisat dinga nakon doh tenguleh, nangho jong thilse jousea kona na kikangse diu ahi.
10 If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, [the next morning] he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day.
Ajeh chu jankah chun namite lah’a khat touvin botui hinche doh taleh, amapa chu ngahmuna kona pam lama paidoh a um jeng ding, ngahmun sung kitia chu hungvah lut kit lou ding ahitai.
11 But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
Nilhah lam tengleh vang ama chu twiya ki sutheng ding, nilhum lam teng ngahmun sunga hung lut thei ding ahi.
12 “Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
Ngahmun polama chu ehkul khat nasem diu, hiche muna chu eh-thaa na cheji diu ahi.
13 [When you go to fight against your enemies], carry a stick along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate [EUP], you can dig a hole with the stick, and then cover up the hole [when you have finished defecating].
Nagal manchah'u poh lah a chu lei-tuhna thei khat naki poh jing diu, ehtha dinga naum tenguleh hiche lei laina achu na leiyuva naeh nathah diu, na thah chai tenguleh hichu leiya nale vuh diu ahi.
14 You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful/indecent that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.”
Pakai, Pathen in nangho nahuhdoh diu leh ngahmuna chu nangho huhdoh dinga umjing ahin, hiche naum nau ngahmun chu kisutheng jing ding ahi. Chutileh Pakai, Pathen in naum nau ngamuna chu thil thenglou ima amudoh lou ding, nang hoa kona kihei mang louva na umpi jing diu ahi.
15 “If slaves who escape from their masters come to you [and request you to protect them], do not send them back to their masters.
Aneipa akona hung jamdoh soh chu, nanghon aneipa chu namoh peh jeng thei lou'u ahi.
16 Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
Amatoh chun nachen khom jing diu, hoilai muna hijongleh na khopi sung'uva chu aman adeilhenna mun pena chu nachen sah jeng diu ahi. Chule hiche soh chu nanghon jong achunga gimna ima nalhun sah thei lou diu ahi.
17 “Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
Chule Israel insunga kona numei khat jeng cha jong noti a kichem chavei um thei lou ding ahi. Hitobanga chu Israel insung’a pasal hon jong milim semthu doia neiya notia kisa chavei um theilou ding ahi.
18 Also, do not allow any people who earned money from being a prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to Yahweh. Yahweh hates those who are prostitutes.
Ucha kithana man le notia kona man chu Pakai, Pathen henga nahin choidiu nato doh thei lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu hiche teni hi Pakaiya dinga thet umtah ahi.
19 “When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
Na sopi khat chu sum thoiya nabat sah theilou diu, napeh'u jongleh hichu athoiya napeh thei lou diu, ipi hi jongleh aneh chan chu bat a ima um thei lou ding ahi.
20 You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners [who live in your land], but not when you lend money to Israelis. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Amavang hitobang chu gamchom miho chunga nabol thei diu, ahinlah nasopi kiti pou chunga athoi kiti napeh thei lou diu ahi. Athoi nalah lou'uva ahileh tua nachen lutna diu muna khu Pakai, Pathen in phattheina lhingsela naboh diu ahi.
21 “When you vow to give something to Yahweh your God [or to do something for him], do it as soon as you can. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be committing a sin.
Pakai, Pathen adia thilkhat peh ding natiuva ahileh hichu napeh ding tenguleh lungkihna ima nanei louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nangho chunga ahin del khum jeng ding, napeh lou'uva ahileh hichu nangho dinga chonset a kisim ding ahi.
22 But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
Kitepna nanei lou'uva ahileh hichu chonset a ki sim lou ahi.
23 But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
Nakam a nasei dohsau khat chu nabol doh tei nadin ki hambol jing uvin, ajeh chu nangho jong Pakai, Pathen henga kitepna nei puma nakam'uva napot dohsah'u ahitai.
24 “When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to [pick and] eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not [cut some from a vine and carry them away] in a container.
Chule nangho lengpi leiya nachen lut tenguleh nadei chan'u naneh jeng theiyu ahi. Ahinlah neocha jeng jong nasakhao-dip sung'uva naki het lut louhel diu ahi.
25 When you walk [along a path] in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck/pick some of the grain and eat it, but you must not cut any grain with a sickle [and take it with you].”
Na heng nakom pau loulaiya nagache lut tenguleh achangvui chu na kisi theiyu ahi. Amavang, koite mangcha a naheng nakompa changvui chu na-at thei louhel diu ahi.
