Olrhaepnah 22
1 Na manuca kah vaito khaw, a tu khaw a tloeng te na hmuh vaengah thuh pah boeh. Na manuca taengah thak rhoe la thak.
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2 Te dongah nang te na manuca neh na yoei pawt tih anih te na ming pawt atah namah im khui la khuen lamtah na manuca loh han tlap tih anih taengla na bal hil namah taengah om saeh.
And if thy brother [be] not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 Te vanbangla a laak khaw saii pah lamtah a himbai khaw saii pah. Te phoeiah na manuca kah hnohma boeih khaw te tlam te saii pah. Anih taengkah aka hma te na hmuh atah om vapsa hamla ngaih boeh.
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Na manuca kah laak khaw, a vaito khaw long ah a cungku te na hmuh lalah te lamkah te thuh uh boeh. Anih te thoh rhoela thoh puei.
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift [them] up again.
5 Tongpa kah hnopai te huta pum dongla om boel saeh lamtah huta himbai te tongpa loh bai boel saeh. Te tla aka saii boeih te BOEIPA na Pathen kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.
6 Na mikhmuh kah long taengah thing boeih dongah khaw, diklai dongah vaa bu khaw, vapuel neh a duei khaw a tong mai ni. Tedae vapuel so neh a duei soah aka oi a manu khaw a manu te a ca neh lo boeh.
If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
7 Vapuel te namah ham na lo mai cakhaw a manu tah hlah rhoe hlah. Te daengah ni namah ham khaw then vetih na hinglung a vang eh.
[But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong [thy] days.
8 Im thai na sak atah na imphu ah longkhawn na saii ni. Te daengah ni te lamkah aka cungku loh cungku cakhaw na imphu kah hlang thii na yook pawt eh.
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
9 Na misur aka coom te tue boeh. Cangtii na tuh kah a thaihhmin neh misur thaih te na poeih ve.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10 Vaito neh laak te hmaih bok boeh.
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 Tumul neh hlamik a yaep te hmaih bai boeh.
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of woollen and linen together.
12 Na himbai dongkah a hmoi pali dongah namah loh sihno bang lamtah bai.
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest [thyself].
13 Hlang pakhat loh yuu a loh tih a kun thil coeng dae a hmuhuet dongah,
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 a olka, a khoboe khaw a yuu taengah a tloe la vik a khueh mai ni. Te phoeiah anih te ming thae phueih sak ham a ngaih tih, “Hekah huta he ka loh tih a taengla ka kun vaengah anih he a cuemnah ka hmuh moenih,” a ti thai.
And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Te vaengah hula te hula amah kah a napa neh a manu loh lo saeh. Te phoeiah hula te hula kah cuemnah neh khopuei vongka kah patong rhoek taengah thak saeh.
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16 Te vaengah hula kah a napa loh patong rhoek taengah, “Hekah hlang taengah a yuu la ka canu ka paek dae vik a hnoel.
And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 Te dongah a khoboe neh ol a saii tih, “Na canu te a cuemnah ka hmu pawh,” a ti tarha. Tedae ka canu kah a cuemnah tah he pawn ni,” ti saeh lamtah khopuei patong rhoek kah mikhmuh ah himbai te phaih uh saeh.
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 Te vaengah tekah hlang te khopuei patong rhoek loh lo uh saeh lamtah toel uh saeh.
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 Anih loh Israel oila te ming thae a phueih sak dongah tangka yakhat neh sah sak uh saeh lamtah hula kah a napa te pae uh saeh. Te daengah anih yuu la om vetih a hing tue khuiah anih te tueih hamla a noeng pawt eh.
And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 Tedae olka he oltak la om tih hula kah hula a cuemnah te a hmuh uh pawt mai ni.
But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of] virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Te vaengah hula te a napa im kah thohka taengla khuen uh saeh. Te phoeiah anih te khopuei kah tongpa rhoek loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek saeh. A napa im kah a cukhalh neh Israel khuiah boethae halang a saii. Te dongah boethae na khui lamloh khoe.
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
22 Va loh a yuunah tangtae huta te tongpa loh a yalh puei vaengah a uum atah hlang yuu taengah aka yalh tongpa khaw huta khaw a boktlap la duek saeh. Te dongah boethae tah Israel khui lamloh khoe.
If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23 Hula tanu oila te tongpa ham a bae pah coeng dae khopuei khuikah tongpa pakhat loh a hmuh tih a yalh puei mai ni.
If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24 Te vaengah amih rhoi te khopuei vongka la khuen uh. Tekah dumlai dongah hula tanu long khaw khopuei khuiah pang kangna boel saeh. Tongpa khaw a hui kah a yuu te dumlai la a puei dongah lungto neh dae uh lamtah duek saeh. Te dongah boethae tah na khui lamloh khoe uh.
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25 Hlang loh a bae tangtae hula te tongpa pakhat loh kohong ah a uum mai ni. Te vaengah tongpa loh anih te a paco tih a yalh puei atah anih aka yalh puei tongpa amah bueng mah dawk duek saeh.
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
26 Tedae hula taengah tah dumlai saii boeh. A duek ham tueng tholhnah khaw hula taengah a om moenih. Tongpa loh a hui a tlai thil tih a hinglu a ngawn pah vanbangla tahae kah dumlai he khaw om van.
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
27 A bae tangtae hula tanu te kohong ah a uum tih tekah hula loh a pang thil lalah anih te a rhun moenih.
For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.
28 A bae hlan hula, tanu, oila te tongpa loh a uum tih a tuuk mai ni. Te vaengah anih a yalh puei a uum uh mai ni.
If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Te vaengah hula kah a napa te hula aka yalh puei tongpa loh tangka sawmnga neh sah saeh. Tedae anih te a puei coeng dongah anih yuu la om saeh. Amah tue khuiah tah anih te hlak hamla a coeng moenih.
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30 Tongpa loh a napa kah a yuu te rhawt boel saeh lamtah a napa kah a mul khaw nawn pah boel saeh.
A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
