Sunglatnah 22
1 Hlang loh vaito khaw, tu khaw a huen tih a ngawn akhaw, a yoih akhaw vaito ham te saelhung panga neh tu ham boiva pumli neh thuung saeh.
If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.
2 Umlawt ah hlanghuen a hmuh tih a boh vaengah a duek atah a taengah thii kap boel saeh.
If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.
3 Khomik a thoeng atah a soah thii kap saeh lamtah aka huen loh sah rhoe sah saeh. A khueh pawt atah a huen dongah amah khaw yoi uh saeh.
But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
4 A huen te a kut dongah a hmuh la a hmuh atah vaito khaw, laak khaw, tu khaw a hing neh rhaepnit la sah saeh.
If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
5 Hlang loh lohma neh misurdum a laem sak vaengah a rhamsa te a hlah tih a rhamsa loh a tloe lohma li te a laem pa atah a khohmuen lamkah a then, a misurdum kah aka then neh thuung saeh.
If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.
6 Hmai puek tih hling a dom vaengah canghlom neh canghli khaw, lohma khaw, a hlawp atah hmai aka hlong loh sah rhoe sah saeh.
If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.
7 Hlang loh a hui te tangka khaw hnopai khaw khoembael sak ham a paek. Tedae im lamkah te hlang loh a huen tih hlanghuen te a hmuh atah a rhaep la thuung saeh.
If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.
8 Hlanghuen te a hmuh pawt atah a hui kah hno dongah a kut hlah pawt cakhaw im kung te Pathen taengla kun saeh.
If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.
9 Boekoeknah olka cungkuem dongah vaito khaw, laak khaw, tu khaw, himbai khaw, he hnohma ni a ti boeih tah a panit la Pathen mikhmuh ah ol hang khuen saeh. Pathen kah a boe sak long te tah a hui te a rhaep la sah saeh.
In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
10 Hlang loh a hui taengah laak neh vaito, tu neh rhamsa cungkuem khaw dawn ham a paek dae, duek mai tih tlawt mai ni, a hmuh pawt vaengah khaw a mawt pah khaming.
If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
11 Te vaengah a hui kah hnopai soah a kut hlah pawt ham amih rhoi laklo aBOEIPA kah olhlo om saeh. A kungmah long khaw doe saeh lamtah sah boel saeh.
If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
12 Tedae anih taeng lamloh a huen la a huen atah a kungmah te sah saeh.
But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
13 Te te a ngaeh rhoe a ngaeh tila laipai hang khuen atah saha te sah boel saeh.
But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
14 Hlang loh a hui taeng lamkah a vat dae a taengah a kungmah a om pawt vaengah a khaem sak tih a duek atah sah rhoe sah saeh.
If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
15 A kungmah te a taengah a om atah sah boel saeh. Te te a kutloh coeng atah a thapang neh mael saeh.
If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
16 tongpa loh oila a bae mueh te a yoek tih a taengah a yalh atah a yuu la oei rhoe oei saeh.
If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.
17 A napa loh hula te anih taengah paek ham a aal la a aal atah oila kah maan bangla tangka thuek pah saeh.
If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
18 Hlangbi khaw hing sak boeh.
Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
19 Rhamsa taengkah aka yalh boeih tah duek rhoe duek saeh.
Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
20 Yahweh amah bueng taeng pawt ah pathen tloe rhoek taengah aka nawn tah thup saeh.
Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
21 Yinlai khaw vuelvaek boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om uh coeng dongah nen boeh.
Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.
22 Nuhmai neh cadah boeih tah phaep boeh.
Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
23 Na phaep la na phaep tih kai taengah a pang la a pang atah a pangngawlnah te ka hnatun rhoe ka hnatun pah ni.
If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
24 Te vaengah ka thintoek sai vetih nangmih te cunghang neh kang ngawn ni. Na yuu rhoek te nuhmai la, na ca rhoek khaw cadah la om uh ni.
And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.
25 Nangmih taengkah ka pilnam mangdaeng te tangka na hlah pah atah a taengah puhlah bangla om boeh. Anih te a casai khueh pah boeh.
If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.
26 Na hui kah himbai te na laikoi la na laikoi atah khomik a khum hlan ah amah taengla mael laeh.
If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:
27 A himbai khaw te kah himbai bueng ni a vin sokah a himbai dongah metlam a yalh eh? Ka lungvatnah oeh dongah ka taengla a pang vaengah ka hnatun pah ni ta.
For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.
28 Pathen te thaephoei boeh, na pilnam sokah khoboei khaw thaephoei thil boeh.
You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
29 Na thaihhmin neh na tuihuem khaw hloh thil boeh, na ca caming khaw kamah taengla m'pae.
Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.
30 Na vaito taeng neh na boiva taengah khaw saii tangloeng. Hnin rhih khuiah a manu neh om saeh lamtah hnin rhet dongah tah kamah taengla m'pae.
In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.
31 Kamah taengah hlang cim la om uh laeh. Khohmuen kah saha saa khaw ca uh boeh. Te te ui ham voeih pah.
You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
