Exodus 22
1 Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
Mikhat touvin bongchal ham kelngoi ham aguhdoh'a hichu akitha ham ahilouleh akijoh doh'a ahile bongchal khat jat chu bongchal nga'a ale ding, chule kelngoi khat man dia kelngoi li alepeh ding ahi.
2 If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
Gucha chun jankah a inbang aphetvang jeh'a ama chu akimatna aki vohlih khah tah'a ahileh, hiche guchapa hinkho that pachu tolthat a kisim lou ding ahi.
3 But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
Ahinlah hiche thisoh hi sun khovah pet ahi leh vang mithat pachu tolthat a kisim ding ahi. “Ajeh chu gucha kiman chun, athil guhdoh jouse aboncha alesah kit ding ahin, a le sah joulouva ahi leh ama chu kijoh doh a athil guh ho sahna a kinei ding ahi.”
4 If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
Khat touvin bongchal hihen lang, Sangan hihen, Kelcha hi jong leh aguh doh sa khat ama insung neilegou lah'a aga kimatdoh khah a ahileh ajat leni'a asah kit ding ahi.
5 If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
Mihem koihile loulaija gancha alut sah'a lengpi lei ham khat gasoh aneh khah'a ahileh gancha chingtup louva loulaija alha thang jeh'a hichepa chun aloulaija gasoh phapen achu a lepeh teitei ding ahiye.
6 Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
Chule Loulai meiyin ahinkah khah'a ling le khao leilah ahin kah jeng'a, chang aki at-lai leh a ki-at loulai mun lah chule loulai chu akah vam lhah jeng tah'a ahile, meihal kong pen pen chun akahvam cheng se aboncha ale sah cheh cheh ding ahiye.
7 Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
Tekahnan mi khat touvin aheng akoma sum ham thil khat koiding'a angensea ahile, hiche thil chu akoipa insung'a konna aki guhmang khah tah'a ahile hiche gucha pachu akimat matna'a athil guh chengse aboncha ajat nia alepeh cheh cheh ding ahiye.”
8 But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
Amavang hiche guchapa chu akimat doh kha tah louva ahile athil koipa chu alah ham alou ham ti hetchetna ding'a Pathen ang sung'a kipui lut ding ahiye.”
9 If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
Ajeh chu kitahsan lelna chung chang kiti phot'a chu bongchal chung chang hihen, sangan chung chang hihen, kelngoi chule ponsil thua hijong le thil kiman sah chung chang thua khat touvin, “Hiche hi keima thil ahi”, hiche hi keima thil ahi titeni chung'a achu athem joh pen hetchetna ding'a Pathen ama-angsung'puilut’a umlhon ding ahi. Amani chu koipen themmo nachang'a Pathen angsung'a konna hetchet ahiteng ajatnia alepeh cheh cheh ding ahiye.”
10 Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
Tun tekahnan mi khat touvin aheng akom khat ngansena aneija sangan ahilou le bongchal ham kelngoi ham gancha khat pen pen apeh a ahile, hichu koima muphah nalou munkhat'a akidel mang tai.”
11 Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
Hitia chu aumkhah tah le ani gellhon na Pakai angsung'a kihahselna anei lhon ding ahi. Chu teng gancha neipan jong kihahselna chu anganse jeng ding hiche gancha chu asah lou ding ahi tai.”
12 But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
Ahinlah akoipa akonna kigumang anahi khah tah le, gancha koipan aneipa chu phatecha alepeh cheh cheh ding ahi.
13 If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
Gamsa hang in atha khah ahitah le hiche hetchetna chu gancha koipan jong avetsah ding, chu teng gancha koipan asah tah lou ding ahi.
14 If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
Mi khat touvin asopi khat koma gancha vaiding'a alah ham ahilou leh manchah ding hamma alah'a hiche gancha chu akisuh khah, ahilou leh athi khah tah'a ahile, hiche vang chu bat'a lapan aman phatah'a lepeh cheh cheh ding ahiye.
15 But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
Ahinlah aneipa umpet toh aki tokhah'a ahile alapa chun asah tah lou ding, manpeh ding'a avai ahi jong le avaiman toh akito sah cheh cheh ding ahitai.”
16 “If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
Pasal toh ki hepha loulai nungah khat chu pasal khat in ajol lhah'a alupi khah'a ahile, Pasal pan jong hiche nungahnu man chu apeh ding chuteng jia anei pai ding ahi.
17 But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
Ahinlah nungahnu pan achanu chu hiche pasalpa chu apeh nom hih beh jeng'a ahileh, a lupkhom pipa chun nungah thengho man ki khum peh jat jat bang'a apeh ding ahiye.”
18 You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).

19 You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
Chule koi hijong le gancha toh lumkhom kitiphot chu tha jeng ding ahiye.
20 You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.

23 If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
Amaho na suhgim uva ahile amaho ka heng lama hung diu chuteng keiman amaho taona ka san ding ahi, ati.
24 And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
Chuteng ka lungsatna na chung uva hung lhung ding najiteo kasat lhuh gamdiu, nacha teo chaga kisoh gam ding ahiuve, ati.

26 If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
Naheng nakom ponsil khat tou tundoh ding'a nalah'a ahile, nisa leplhah masang'a hiche ponsil chu aneipa na ga lepeh ding ahi.
27 because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
Ajeh chu aman hiche bou chu tahsa ponsilla anei ahin, pondang silla imutpi ding anei louva ahin ipi pon akisil ding ham? Keima heng'a hungtao khata henlang hile keiman amachu kangaipeh teitei ding ahi ajeh chu keima hi milainat pi jing kahi,” ati.
28 Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.

30 You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
Na bongchal le na kelngoi jeng jong hitia chu nabol ding, hiche gancha nou chu nisagi sung'a ahonsung umden jeng ding, ahinlah niget lhin niteng le keima neipeh doh ding ahiye.
31 You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
