U hlang khaw he rhoek kah tueilaehkoi hno khat khat a saii atah aka saii hlanghing boeih te pilnam lamkah hnawt saeh.
30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”
