1 Kami maeto mah maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw, paquk moe boh ving, to tih ai boeh loe zaw ving nahaeloe, maitaw tae maeto zuengah maitaw tae pangato, tuu maeto zuengah tuu palito hoi rong han oh.

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 Kamqu mah im muk nathuem ah kamqu to bop maat nahaeloe, a nuiah athii palonghaih om mak ai.

If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.

3 Toe ni tacawt boeh nahaeloe, athii longsak pongah anih loe zae ah oh; kamqu loe paqukhaih atho to rong tih; toe tidoeh tawn ai nahaeloe, paqukhaih atho rong hanah angmah to angzawh han oh.

If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 A paquk ih maitaw maw, to tih ai boeh loe laa hrang maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw angmah ban ah hing vop nahaeloe, alet hnetto rong let tih.

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

5 Kami mah a tawnh ih moinawk to lawk ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe misur takha thungah maw pratsak, toe kahoih ah toep ai pongah, minawk ih lawk to caa nahaeloe, a lawk hoi misur takha thung ih kahoih koek hmuen hoiah pathok let tih.

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

6 Hmai thlaek naah hmai to cawnh moe, lawk ih cangqui maw, to tih ai boeh loe cangkung maw, to tih ai boeh loe lawk to kangh boih nahaeloe, hmai thlaek kami mah rong let tih.

If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 Kami maeto mah a imtaeng kami khaeah phoisa maw, hmuen maw pakuemsak, toe anih imthung hoiah kamqu mah paquk pae ving moe, kamqu to naeh nahaeloe, anih mah alet hnetto rong nasoe.

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

8 Toe kamqu to hnu ai nahaeloe, im tawnkung mah a imtaeng ih hmuen to lak maw, la ai, tito panoek hanah, anih to lokcaekkungnawk hmaa ah kawk moe, lokcaek han oh.

If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

9 Kami maeto mah maitaw tae maw, laa hrang maw, tuu maw, khukbuen maw, to tih ai boeh loe kanghmaa hmuen maw amsoem ai ah, Hae hmuen loe kai ih ni, tiah thui nahaeloe, nihnik to lokcaekkung khaeah caeh haih hmaek han oh; lokcaekkungnawk mah paqu kami ah net ih kami mah a imtaeng kami hanah alet hnetto pathok pae tih.

For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

10 Kami maeto mah laa hrang maw, to tih ai boeh loe maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tuu maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih moi doeh toepsak hanah a imtaeng kami khaeah aap, toe to moi to duek ving maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmaa cak maw, to tih ai boeh loe minawk kalah mah huih ving pongah, mi mah doeh hnu ai nahaeloe,

If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

11 moi toepsak kami mah, a imtaeng kami ih hmuen to ka la ai tiah, Angraeng hmaa ah lokkam nahaeloe, nihnik salak lokpunghaih to boengsak han oh; moi tawnkung mah to lok to talawk han oh, moi toep kami doeh rongsak han om ai.

Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

12 Toe a imtaeng kami mah to moi to paqu nahaeloe, moi toep kami mah tawnkung hanah rong pae tih.

And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

13 Toep ih moi to kalah moisan mah kaek ving nahaeloe, moisan mah kaek ving boeh, tiah hnukung to kawk ah, to tiah nahaeloe moisan mah kaek ving pongah atho rong mak ai.

If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

14 Kami maeto mah hmuen maeto a imtaeng kami khaeah tlai, tawnkung om ai naah ahmaa cak, to tih ai boeh loe dueh ving nahaeloe, tlai kami mah pathok let tih.

And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

15 Toe tawnkung om toeng nahaeloe, tlaikung mah pathok mak ai; toe atho hoiah tlai nahaeloe, tawnkung mah tlaihaih atho khue to hnik han oh.

But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.

16 Sava sak han ai ah lokkamhaih sah nongpata to nongpa maeto mah pacae khing moe, iip haih nahaeloe, nongpata avang to paek ueloe, nongpata to zu ah la tih.

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely secure her to be his wife.

17 Nongpata ih ampa mah a canu to anih zusak han koeh ai cadoeh, anih mah tangla ih avang to paek toengtoeng tih.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 Ma-uih loe hingsak han om ai.

You shall not suffer a witch to live.

19 Mi kawbaktih doeh pacah ih moi hoiah zaehaih sah kami loe hum han roe oh.

Whosoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.

20 Angraeng khae khue na ai ah, kalah sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sah kami loe, paduek han oh.

He that sacrifices unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

21 Angvin to pacaekthlaek hmah; anih to hnap doeh hnap hmah; nangcae doeh Izip prae thungah angvin ah ni na oh o toeng.

You shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for all of you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 Lamhmainawk, to tih ai boeh loe naqahnawk to pacaekthlaek hmah.

All of you shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

23 Na pacaekthlaek pongah, nihcae mah kai khaeah qah o nahaeloe, nihcae qahhaih lok to ka tahngaih pae han.

If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 Palung ka phui moe, nangcae sumsen hoiah kang hum o han; na zunawk to lamhmai ah om o ueloe, na caanawk doeh ampa tawn ai ah om o tih.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 Na imtaeng ah kaom kamtang kai ih kaminawk khaeah phoisa na coisak nahaeloe, a caa kangpung paek hanah coisak hmah; kapung acaa na lak han om ai.

If you lend money to any of my people that is poor by you, you shall not be to him as an usurer, neither shall you lay upon him interest.

26 Na imtaeng kaminawk mah nang khaeah a khukbuen pawng nahaeloe, niduem ai naah thaak pae let ah;

If you at all take your neighbour's raiment to pledge, you shall deliver it unto him by that the sun goes down:

27 anih loe a takpum padap hanah to khukbuen khue ni a tawnh; to tih ai nahaeloe a iih naah, timaw angkhuk tih? Anih mah kai khaeah hang nahaeloe, kai loe minawk tahmen thaih kami ah ka oh pongah, a hanghaih lok to ka tahngaih pae han.

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

28 sithawnawk to kasae thui hmah loe, nangmacae kami ukkung doeh tangoeng hmah.

You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.

29 Kahmin tangsuek thingthai hoi na pasawh tangsuek ih thingthai tui to akra ai ah paek ah, hawk ving hmah; na caanawk thungah tapen tangsuek calu to na paek ah.

You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits, and of your liquors: the firstborn of your sons shall you give unto me.

30 To baktih toengah, maitaw tae hoi tuu doeh paek ah; amno khaeah ni sarihto omsak loe, ni tazetto naah kai khaeah na paek ah.

Likewise shall you do with your oxen, and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day you shall give it me.

31 Nangcae loe kai khaeah ciimcai kami ah na om o tih; to pongah taw ah moisan mah kaek ih moi to caa o hmah; uinawk han paek oh.

And all of you shall be holy men unto me: neither shall all of you eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; all of you shall cast it to the dogs.
