Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe,
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
Nang ni Isarel miphun, rangpuinaw koe bout na dei pouh hane teh, nangmae BAWIPA, Kai teh kathounge patetlah nangmouh hai thoung van awh.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
Tami pueng ni na manu hoi na pa na bari awh han. Kaie sabbath hnin hai na ya awh han. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
Kutsak na bawk awh mahoeh. Ma hanelah hlun e cathutnaw na sak awh mahoeh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
Roum thuengnae sathei BAWIPA koe thuengnae na sak pawiteh, BAWIPA lung ka youk lah na thueng awh han.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
Thuengnae hnin hoi atangtho hnin dawk na ca awh han. Cawi pawiteh, a tawkkahnin teh hmai na sawi awh han.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Tawkkahnin dawk yitca nakunghai na cat awh pawiteh, panuettho e lah ao. Lungyouk lah awm mahoeh.
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Ka cat e tami teh BAWIPA thoungnae a khinsak dawkvah, a yonnae phu teh ama ni a khang han. Hote tami teh a miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
Na law dawk e cang na a torei teh, lawrai lae koung na a awh mahoeh. Cabong bout na hrawm a torei hai na pahnim a e bout na hrawm awh mahoeh.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Misur paw hai koung na khi awh mahoeh. Kacawie a paw bout na khi awh mahoeh. Hote a paw teh, kamathoe e tami, hoi imyinnaw hanelah, na pek awh han. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
Ayâ e hno na parawt awh mahoeh. Ayâ na dum awh mahoeh. Buetbuet touh laithoe na kâdei awh mahoeh.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
Kaie min lahoi kahmanhoeh lah thoe na ka bo awh mahoeh. Na Cathut e min mathout sak awh hanh. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
Na imri e hno kamsoum hoeh lahoi lawm hanh. Thama lahoi lat pouh hanh. Counnae phu hah karum loum sak hanh.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.

15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.

16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
Ayânaw minhmai mathoenae kamthang hah dei hanelah na taminaw koe na kâhlai mahoeh. Na imri runae kâhmo sak hanlah na kâcai mahoeh. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
Na lung thung hoi na hmaunawngha hmuhmanae na tawn mahoeh. Na imri a payonnae hah pak khen laipalah na yue katang han.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
Na taminaw ni nang koe payon awh pawiteh, bout pathung hanh. A yonnae hah pâkuem pouh hanh. Na imri hah nama patetlah lungpataw. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
Kaie phunglawk na tarawi awh han. Aphun alouklouk e saring a napui, a na tongpa âvâ na yawng sak mahoeh. Cati alouklouk e mak kâkalawt lah law dawk na patue awh mahoeh. Pahla hoi tumuen carouk teh kawng e khohna na khohnat awh mahoeh.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
Paluen hanelah sut ham teh ratang hoeh rae a sannu ka ipkhai e tami teh hemnae a khang han. Hote napui teh amae san lah ao dawkvah thei lah awm mahoeh.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
Tongpa ni hai kâtapoe thueng nahanelah, tutan buet touh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe BAWIPA koevah a thokhai han.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
Hote tongpa ni a sakpayon e yontha nahanelah, kâtapoe thuengnae tutan hah, vaihma ni BAWIPA hmalah a thueng han. Hote tongpa teh yon ngaithoum lah ao han.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
Nangmouh koe Kai ni na poe e ram dawk na pha awh toteh, cakawi thingthai aphunphun na ung awh hnukkhu, kum thum touh thung kapaw e a pawnaw hah, vuensoma hoeh e a paw telah na pouk awh vaiteh, na cat awh mahoeh.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
A kum palinae kapaw e a paw pueng teh a thoung dawkvah BAWIPA pholen nahanelah pasoum lah ao.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].

31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].

33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
Nangmouh koe kârayen e imyin hah na rektap mahoeh.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
Nangmouh koe kârayen e imyin hah na tami patetlah na pouk han. Nama patetlah na lungpataw han. Nangmouh teh Izip ram vah imyin lah ouk na o awh toe. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
Bangnuenae, Khingnae, tonae dawkvah kamsoum hoeh lah na sak mahoeh.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
