Deuteronomy 21
1 If [one] shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang kah a pang la m'paek khohmuen kah kohong ah aka yalh rhok te a hmuh dae anih te u loh a ngawn khaw a mingpha pawt atah,
2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is slain:
Namah kah patong rhoek neh na laitloek rhoek te cet uh saeh lamtah rhok taeng lamkah loh khopuei duela nueh uh saeh.
3 And it shall be [that] the city [which is] next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;
Te vaengah rhok neh a yoei la aka om khopuei kah khopuei patong rhoek loh saelhung khuikah hnamkun aka mawt pawt tih aka thotat pawh vaitola te lo uh saeh.
4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley;
Te phoeiah vaitola te khopuei patong rhoek loh a khuiah a thotat pawt tih a tawn pawh soklong puei la suntlak puei saeh. Te phoeiah vaito te soklong ah pahoi top uh saeh.
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried];
Te vaengah amah kah bibi ham neh BOEIPA ming dongah yoethen aka pae ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh a coelh Levi koca khosoih rhoek te thoeih uh saeh lamtah tuituknah cungkuem neh nganbokyoknah cungkuem aka om te ol khueh thil uh saeh.
6 And all the elders of that city [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
Rhok neh aka yoei khopuei kah patong rhoek boeih long khaw soklong kah a ah vaito te a kut silh thil uh saeh.
7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
Te phoeiah doo uh saeh lamtah, “Kaimih kut ah hlang thii he long rhoe la long pawt tih kaimih mik long khaw a hmuh moenih.
8 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Aw BOEIPA na pilnam la na lat Israel he tholh han dawth pah. Ommongsitoe thii loh na pilnam Israel lakli la coe sak boel lamtah hlang thii khui lamkah loh amih ham khaw dawth la om saeh,” ti uh saeh.
9 So shalt thou remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.
Te dongah namah khui lamkah ommongsitoe thii te namah loh khoe lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem la saii.
10 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
Na thunkha rhoek taengah caem la na caeh vaengah anih te BOEIPA na Pathen loh na kut dongah han tloeng tih tamna la na sol mai ni.
11 And [thou] seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife:
Te vaengah tamna khuikah huta suisak sakthen te na hmuh tih na ven coeng. Te dongah na yuu la lo laeh.
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails:
Na im khui la khuen. Te phoeiah a lu te vo saeh lamtah a kuttin khaw saii saeh.
13 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
Na imkhui ah a om vaengah a pum dongkah a tamna himbai te pit saeh lamtah khohnin hla khat khuiah a manu a napa te rhah dae saeh. Te phoeiah anih te na kun thil tih na yuunah vaengah namah yuu la om van ni.
14 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money; thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
Tedae anih te na ngaih pawt tih na tueih coeng atah amah hinglu la om van saeh lamtah tangka la na yoi rhoe na yoi mahpawh. Anih te na khah coeng dongah na kulup sut mai mahpawh.
15 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the first-born son be hers that was hated:
Hlang pakhat te yuu panit om tih pakhat te alungnah dae pakhat te tah a hnoel. Te vaengah a lungnah a yuu long khaw, a hnoel long khaw anih ham ca a sak pah rhoi tih a hnoel kah a capa te a caming la om mai ni.
16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the first-born:
Tedae amah taengah aka om te a ca rhoi a pheang tue a pha atah a hnoel huta capa, a caming kah mikhmuh mai ah a lungnah huta kah a capa te a caming la coeng sak boel saeh.
17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the first-born, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born [is] his.
A hnoel kah a capa caming la hmat saeh lamtah amah taengkah a dang boeih dongah a thaham rhaepnit la pae saeh. A thahuem cuek he caminghamsum kah hamsum van ni.
18 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them:
Hlang pakhat taengah capa thinthah om tih a napa ol neh a manu ol te hnatun mueh la a koek mai ni. Anih te a toel rhoi dae te rhoi taengkah te hnatun pawh.
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
Anih te a manu neh a napa loh mawt saeh lamtah te hmuen vongka kah khopuei patong rhoek taengla khuen saeh.
20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.
Te phoeiah a khopuei patong rhoek taengah, “Ka ca a thinthah tih ka ol a ngai mueh la a koek. Te dongah carhut yumii la om,” ti rhoi saeh.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Te vaengah anih te khopuei tongpa boeih loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. Na khui lamkah boethae khaw te tlam te na hnawt daengah ni Israel pum loh a yaak uh vetih a rhih uh eh.
22 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree:
Hlang pakhat te tholhnah kongah dueknah ham laitloeknah om tih a duek vaengah thing dongla na kuiok sak mai ni.
23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God; ) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
a rhok te thing dongah rhaeh sak boeh. Kuiok he Pathen kah rhunkhuennah la a om dongah amah khohnin van vaengah up rhoe up laeh. Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek na khohmuen te poeih boeh.
