Kâboutpoenae 14

1 Nangmouh teh, BAWIPA Cathut e ca lah na o awh. Kadoutnaw hanelah na tak na kâbouk mahoeh. Na mitmuen hai na ngaw mahoeh.

You are the children of the LORD your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

2 Nangmouh teh BAWIPA Cathut hanelah kathounge miphun lah na o awh. BAWIPA ni talai van dawk kaawm e miphun pueng hlakvah, ama ni tawn e miphun lah na o awh nahanelah nangmouh na rawi awh toe.

For you are an holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself, above all the nations that are on the earth.

3 Panuetkatho e na cat mahoeh.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

4 Na ca hane saringnaw teh, maito, tu, hmae,

These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

5 sakhi, sazuk, saya, atha, savi, kahrawngmaito, mon dawk e tu ti e

The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

6 khoksamen samka ni teh a thepkaai e pueng teh na ca thai awh.

And every beast that parts the hoof, and separates the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat.

7 Hatei, a thepkaai niteh, a khoksamen ka samka e naw thung dawk na ca hoeh hane naw teh, kalauk, saveh, cahi, naw heh athepai eiteh, a khoksamen a samka hoeh dawkvah kakhin e lah ao.

Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean to you.

8 Vok teh a khoksamen a samka eiteh, athepai hoeh dawkvah, nangmouh hanelah a khin. a moi na cat awh mahoeh. A ro hai na tek awh mahoeh.

And the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean to you: you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.

9 Tui dawk kaawm e naw thung dawk hetnaw heh na ca awh han. A pathuet hoi a lakep kaawm pueng na ca thai awh.

These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:

10 A pathuet hoi a lakep kaawm hoeh e pueng na cat awh mahoeh, nangmouh hanelah a khin.

And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.

11 Kathounge tava aphunphun na ca thai awh.

Of all clean birds you shall eat.

12 Na ca hoeh hane tavanaw teh, langta, tuilangta, mataw,

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13 masi, ungngang,

And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

14 vonga,

And every raven after his kind,

15 kalaukva, basairek, batuiling, pingpit,

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

16 bukbu, kawhna, balengek,

17 tuicawmpai,

And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

18 kahrawngcawmpai, bongpi,

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

19 a rathei a tawn ei, kâva e saring pueng teh nangmouh hanelah a thoung hoeh dawkvah, na cat awh mahoeh.

And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

But of all clean fowls you may eat.

You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien: for you are an holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

22 Kum tangkuem na law dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng pung hra pung touh na kapek awh han.

You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.

23 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a min ao nahanelah a rawi e hmuen koe cakang, misurtui, satui hoi tuhu, maitohu naw dawk e camin pung hra pung touh hah a hmalah na ca awh han.

And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

24 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe awh torei teh, a min ao nahanelah a rawi e hmuen teh, ekvoi ahla dawkvah, pung hra pung touh na phawt thai awh hoeh pawiteh,

And if the way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your God has blessed you:

25 hote hno hah na yo vaiteh, tangka na sin vaiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe na cei vaiteh,

Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose:

26 ca han na ngai e patetlah maito, tu, misurtui, yamu tie ca han na ngai e pueng hah na ran vaiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, na imthung abuemlahoi na ca awh vaiteh, kanawm lah na o awh han.

And you shall bestow that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,

27 Hatei, nangmae longkha thung kaawm e Levih miphunnaw teh, a ham awm hoeh, râw hai ao hoeh dawkvah, na hnoun awh mahoeh.

And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.

28 A kum thum dawk na hmu awh e pueng hah pung hra pung touh na tâcokhai awh vaiteh, khothung longkha vah na pâkueng awh han.

At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:

29 Nangmouh koe kaawm e ham kaawm hoeh e, râw kaawm hoeh e Levihnaw koe kaawm van e Jentelnaw, naranaw, na longkha thung kaawm e lahmainaw a tho awh vaiteh, a ca awh han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na sak e pueng dawk yawhawi na poe awh han.

And the Levite, (because he has no part nor inheritance with you, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
