Thothuengnah 20
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah. Israel ca rhoek neh Israel taengah aka bakuep yinlai khui lamkah hlang khat khat loh a tiingan te Molek taengah a paek atah vang khuikah pilnam loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek rhoela duek saeh.
“Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must stone him with stones.
3 Tekah hlang te kai loh ka hmai ka khueh thil ni. A tiingan te Molek taengla a paek tih ka rhokso te a poeih phoeiah ka ming cim te a thae sak dongah a pilnam khui lamkah ka khoe ni.
I also will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane my holy name.
4 Tedae Molek taengah a tiingan aka pae hlang te khohmuen pilnam loh a mik a him a him thil uh tih a duek sak uh pawt atah,
If the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not put him to death,
5 tekah hlang neh a huiko te kai loh ka hmai ka khueh thil van vetih anih neh anih taengkah aka cuk aka halh boeih khaw, Molek taengah aka cuk aka halh khaw a pilnam khui lamkah ka khoe ni.
then I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot with Molech.
6 Rhaitonghma neh hnam hnukah cukhalh ham aka mael hinglu te khaw ka hmai ka khueh thil bal ni. Tekah hlanghing te a pilnam khui lamkah ka khoe ni.
The person who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
7 Kai tah na BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah nangmih khaw ciim uh lamtah a cim la om uh.
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.

You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
