< Deuteronomy 24 >

1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
Tongpa buet touh ni yu a la teh, a paluen hnukkhu, yon pen hanelah ao dawkvah, a lungkuep hoehpawiteh, manae ca a thut vaiteh, a poe hnukkhu a cei sak han.
2 When she has gone out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Hote napui teh a vâ im hoi a cei hnukkhu alouke tongpa e yu lah o thainae kâ ao.
3 If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his wife—
Bout a vâ e ni hai hmawt ngai hoehpawiteh, manae ca a thut teh a kut dawk a poe teh, a im dawk hoi a ceisak nakunghai thoseh, a vâ kadout nakunghai thoseh,
4 then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
ahmaloe e tongpa ni hote kamhnawng e napui hah a yu lah bout lat mahoeh. BAWIPA hmalah panuettho e lah ao. Na Cathut BAWIPA ni râw lah na poe ram dawk yon na thokhai mahoeh.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
Yu nuengnueng ka paluen e teh taran tuknae koe cet mahoeh. Rangpui thaw hai patoun mahoeh. Kum touh thung im ao vaiteh, a yu hah a khetyawt han.
6 No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as a pledge.
Talung sum avan lae hai thoseh, athung lae hai thoseh, apini hai laiba dawk na lat pouh mahoeh. Hottelah na lat pawiteh, a hringnae na la pouh e hoi a kâvan.
7 If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.
Tami ni amae hmaunawngha hai thoseh, Isarelnaw hah a paru teh san lah a ta hai thoseh, a yo hai thoseh, hote tamru hah na hmawt pawiteh, na thei awh han. Nang koehoi yonnae hah hottelah na takhoe awh han.
8 Take heed regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.
Hrikbei patawnae dawkvah, Levih ca vaihmanaw ni na pâtu e patetlah na sak awh han.
9 Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.
Nangmouh teh, Izip ram hoi na tâco awh teh, kahlawng na cei awh lahun nah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni Miriam koe a sak e hno hah pouk awh.
10 When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Nang ni nama e pacanaw koe hno na cawi sak pawiteh, pâhung e hno la hanelah ahnie im thung na kâen mahoeh.
11 You will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.
Nang teh alawilah na kangdue vaiteh, a pâhung e hno hah nang na onae koe alawilah a sin han.
12 If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.
Ahni teh roedeng pawiteh, a pâhung e hno poe hanelah kanî na loum sak mahoeh.
13 You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
Ahni ni amae hni a kâkhu laihoi a i vaiteh, nang yawhawi na poe nahanelah, a pâhung e hno hah kanî khum pawiteh, na poe mingming han. Hottelah sak e teh, na BAWIPA Cathut hmalah kalan e hno doeh.
14 You must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city gates;
Paca reira thoseh, na kho dawk kaawm e Jentelnaw hai thoseh, ka roedeng e hah na rektap mahoeh.
15 Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.
A hnintangkuem amae thaw tawk phu hah na poe han. Poe laipalah kanî loum sak hanh. Ahni teh a mathoe dawkvah, a hmu hane aphu dawk a lungpen han. Poe laipalah na awm pawiteh, ahni ni BAWIPA koe hram vaiteh, nang koe yonpennae phat langvaih tie ngaihrinae ao.
16 The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be put to death for his own sin.
Na pa teh capa e yon kecu dawk thoseh, capa teh na pa e yon kecu dawk thoseh, thet mahoeh. Tami pueng amae yon kecu dawk duenae a khang awh han.
17 You must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as a pledge.
Kalan lah lawkcengnae koe, Jentelnaw hoi naranaw hah na phen mahoeh.
18 Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
Nang teh Izip ram vah san lah ouk na o e hai thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni hote ram thung hoi na ratang e hai thoseh, na pouk han. Hatdawkvah, hete phunglawk hah na hruek pouh awh.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Nang ni na laikawk dawk cang na a toteh, na pahnim e cabong hah bout na lat mahoeh. Na tawksak e pueng dawk na BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe nahanelah, hote cabong hah, Jentelnaw hane, naranaw hane, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek han.
20 When you shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow.
Nange olive paw na karuek toteh, kacawie naw hah bout na karuek mahoeh. Jentelnaw, naranaw, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek pouh awh han.
21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Na misur takha dawk, misur paw na khi toteh, kacawiraenaw hah bout na khi mahoeh. Jentelnaw, naranaw, lahmainaw hanelah na hruek pouh awh han.
22 You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
Nangmouh teh Izip ram vah san lah ouk na o awh e hah na pouk awh han. Hatdawkvah, hete phung lawk hah na hruek pouh awh.
