Kâboutpoenae 23

1 Tuenla hoehpawiteh, tongpa e puengcang tâtueng lah kaawm e teh BAWIPA e tamihu dawk kâen mahoeh.

He that is wounded in the stones, or has his private parts cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

2 Cataca teh, BAWIPA e tamihu dawk kâen mahoeh. Se hra totouh kâen mahoeh.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

3 Amon miphun hoi Moab miphun hai BAWIPA e tamihu dawk kâen mahoeh. Se hra totouh kâen mahoeh.

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah, ahnimouh ni vaiyei hoi tui a sin awh teh na dawn awh hoeh. Nangmouh thoebo sak hanelah, Mesopotamia ram, Pethor kho e Beor capa Balaam hah a hlai awh.

Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when all of you came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.

5 Hatei, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni Balaam e lawk tarawi pouh hoeh. Nang na pahren dawkvah, thoebonae hah yawhawinae lah a kâthungsak.

Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing unto you, because the LORD your God loved you.

6 Nang teh ahnimae bawirengnae hoi a hnopai na hringyung thung na khen mahoeh.

You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days for ever.

7 Edom miphunnaw hah, na pahnawt awh mahoeh. Ahni teh nange hmaunawngha lah ao. Izipnaw hai na pahnawt mahoeh. Ahnimae ram dawk san lah ouk na o boi toe.

You shall not detest an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not detest an Egyptian; because you were a stranger in his land.

8 Ahnimae catoun teh se thum touh hnukkhu BAWIPA e tamihu dawk a kâen thainae kâ ao.

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

9 Taran tuknae koe na kamthaw nah, kamsoumhoehe hno pueng rounh.

When the host goes forth against your enemies, then keep you from every wicked thing.

10 Nangmouh thung dawk tami bangpatet hai amae a tâco dawk thounghoehnae awm pawiteh, roenae alawilah a tâco han. Roenae thung kâen mahoeh.

If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

11 Tangminlasa a pha toteh tui hoi a pâsu han. Kanî a khup torei roenae thung bout a kâen han.

But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

12 Vaipuen ceinae teh roenae alawilah na ta awh han. Hote hmuen koe alawilah na cei awh han.

You shall have a place also without the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:

13 Na hnopainaw dawk sumtaboung na tawn han. Nang ni a alawilah na tahung toteh, hot hoi tangkawm na tai vaiteh, na kamlang sin vaiteh, na vaipuen hah na pakawp han.

And you shall have a paddle upon your weapon; and it shall be, when you will ease yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:

14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni nang hah na rungngang vaiteh, na tarannaw hah nang koe na poe nahanelah, roenae thung a kâhlai toe. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA teh nang koe a tho navah, nangmouh koe kathounghoehe hah hmawt vaiteh, nangmouh koehoi a kamlang hoeh nahanelah, roenae teh a thoung han.

For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

15 A bawipa koehoi ka yawng niteh, nang koe ka tho e san teh a bawipa koe na ban sak mahoeh.

You shall not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto you:

16 Nangmouh koe kho a sak thai nahan a ngai poung e hmuen a rawi vaiteh, ao van han. Na pacekpahlek mahoeh.

He shall dwell with you, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates, where it likes him best: you shall not oppress him.

17 Isarel napuinaw thung takkâyawt e awm hanh naseh. Napuitongpanaw awm hanh naseh.

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

18 Takkâyonae phu hoi ui phu hah na BAWIPA Cathut e im dawk poe hanelah na sin mahoeh. Hot patetlah e hno teh, na BAWIPA Cathut hanelah panuettho e lah ao.

You shall not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD your God.

19 Na hmaunawngha koe apung la hanelah, tangka, rawca, apung la thai e hnopai pueng na cawi mahoeh.

You shall not lend upon interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest:

20 Jentelnaw koe apung la hanelah na cawi sak awh han. Na cei awh teh na coe awh hane ram, na BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe awh nahanelah, na hmaunawngha koe apung la hanelah na cawi sak awh mahoeh.

Unto a stranger you may lend upon interest; but unto your brother you shall not lend upon interest: that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land where you go to possess it.

21 Nange BAWIPA Cathut koe lawk na kam pawiteh, na kam e patetlah sak laipalah awm hanh. Nange BAWIPA Cathut ni atangcalah, a hei han. Na sak laipalah na awm pawiteh, nang koe a yonae a pha han.

When you shall vow a vow unto the LORD your God, you shall not slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.

22 Hatei, lawk na kam hoehpawiteh, yon mahoeh.

But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.

23 Na pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lawk hah na kâhruetcuet han. Na BAWIPA Cathut koe nama lungtho lahoi na kam e patetlah na sak han.

That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as you have vowed unto the LORD your God, which you have promised with your mouth.

24 Nang teh, na imri e misur takha koe na kâen navah, misur paw na ngai totouh na ca han, hatei, na yawngya dawk hoi na phawt pouh mahoeh.

When you come into your neighbour's vineyard, then you may eat grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

25 Na imri e laikawk na cei navah, na kut hoi cavui hah na pahroe thai. Hatei, na imri e cavui hah tangkoun hoi na ca mahoeh.

When you come into the standing corn of your neighbour, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle unto your neighbour's standing corn.
