Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
Mihem khat le khat akinah a, akiheh lhona ahileh, thutan vaihom hon achungthu lhon atan peh diu, themmo nanei lou chu them achansah diu, themmo nanei chu themmo achansah diu ahi.
2 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
Chule themmo changpa chu voh ding alhah khah tah a ahileh, thutan vaihompa chun themmo changpa chu alupsah ding, them changpa mitmua chu athemmona jat dung juiya avoh ding ahi.
3 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
Hitobang mihem chu molsom li chan thoh thei ding, hiche kal achu thoh thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amapa chu miho masang in kijep jep jing tahen lang hileh, aki neosah behseh jeh achu muset a naum thei diu ahi.
4 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
Chule insunga pasal ni chengkhom teni chu khat joh sang chu chapa beiya thina ato khah tah a ahileh, athipa jinu chu pasal dang ang sunga chea jinei thei lou ding ahi. Amavang numei nu jipa sopipa vang chu hiche nu angsunga chu, che ding amanu chu ajia aki puiding ahi. Asopi ji khat kive kol bang banga avet kol ding ahi.
6 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
Hichea chapa ahin masat pen chu, a sopipa athi tasa chu khanggui jop mat nadinga, Israel insunga ama minchu suhmanga um lou ding ahi.
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
Ahinlah adam nalaiya sopipa chun athipa jinu chu deilouva, ji dinga akipui nom tah louva ahileh, asopipa jinu jong che ding kelkot phung lama thutan vaihom ho henga hitia hi agasei ding ahi. Ka jipa sopipan athisa asopipa hi Israel insunga amin ajop nom tapon ahi.
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
Chuteng hiche khopi sunga upa chengse chu, cheuva amapa koma chu agasei diu ahi. Amavang hichan nunga jong ‘Keiman hichenu hi kaji dinga ka kipui lou ding ahi’ tia asei nah laiya,
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
Chule asopi athipa ji nun jong anailut ding, amapa chu akengchot asut peh ding, amai chang chil aset den ding, hitia hi ahenga asei peh ding, ‘Pasal koi hi jongleh asopipa khela insung khat sem doh nomlou chu hitia hi kibol ding ahi,’ tia asei ding ahi.
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
Amavang chu amin Israel insung ahi tia kisei ding, chule akengchot kisut lhah peh pa insung tiajong kihe ding ahi.
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
Pasal khat leh khat chu akinah a, pasal dang khatpa jinu ham chun khatpa akona chu ajipa chu huhdoh ding agot a ahileh, hiche nu chun anai lut a khatpa chu ahinpia amat a ahe peh jenga ahileh,
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
Hiche numei chu akhut natan peh diu, lung sa-ihna beihel a naum diu ahi.
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
Chule nasakhao sung jeng'uva jong thil tena ni napoh kop lou diu, khat alen khat aneo tia napoh kop lou diu ahi.
Nangho insung jenga jong thil tena alenkhat ahin, aneokhat hiteni chu nakoi tha lou diu ahi.
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
Thil agih tena achoma nakoi diu, aboncha bukimsel ding, hitia chu najui kim soh keiyuva ahileh, Pakai, Pathen in nangho nachennau gamsung jousea phat theina lhingset naboh diu ahi.
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
Ajeh chu hitia thil adih louva bola natohna jouse chu Pakai, Pathen dinga thet umtah ahi.
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
Nangho Egypt gam sunga kona nahung pot laiyuva, Amalek miten ichan geiya nabol gimu hitam, nalam lhah nauva nabol na jouseu chu nagel doh jing diu ahi.
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
Amahon nalam lhah laitah un nadel khum jeng uvin, na chol laitah uva ichangeiya gim genthei a nalhau hitam? Pathen ging louhel in nachung uva na atong tauvin ahi.
19 Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nangho choldamna nape tauvin, nakim vel'uva namel mateu jousea kona nacholdo sah diu, Pakai, Pathen in napehnau nagoulo nadiu muna nachen lut tenguleh, nanghon jong vannoi leiset a Amelek mite chenna jouse chu nasuh mang hel diu ahi, tichu nagel doh jing diu ahi.
