Danbu Ni Na 17

1 Ana damlou gancha kiti phot Pakai, Pathen henga nakatdoh thei lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiya dia hitobang thilpeh hohi thet um ahi.

No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.

2 Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gam'a nachen tenguleh, nalah uva kona numei hileh pasal hileh Pakai, na Pathen'u mitmua aphalou nabol thei lou diu chule kitepna nasuhboh thei lou diu ahi.

If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,

3 Semthu pathen dang angsung, nisa chule ahsiho vamthamjol kitiho jouse angsunga naboh khup theilou diu ahi.

By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;

4 Hitobang hohi nakhol chilsoh kei diu ahi. Ajeh chu Israel mite lah a hitobang hi umkha get inte.

If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;

5 Numei hileh pasal hileh hitobanga chon chu, khopi pam lama nodoh ding songa se lih ding ahi.

Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.

6 Hinlah mikhat jeng seh thutannan mithat hih un, mithum beh thutanna'a chu thina nachan sah thei diu ahi.

On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.

7 Thutanpa chun songa ase masat ding, chuteng mipin ase ding ahi. Hitia chu nalah uva kona aphalouva chon chu nano doh diu ahi.

The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

8 Nalah uva thilsoh chung thu tanna ahahsat behseh a, hichu phat louna, tol-that, mithat chule dan chung kalvala chon achung thua boina chom chom neiya auma ahileh, hitobang chu Pakai, na Pathen henga nalhut diu ahi.

If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;

9 Chule hitobang ho chu danthempuho henga aphatcha napui diu ahi. Amahon achungchang thu angai diu chuteng thu lhuhna asem diu ahi.

And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:

10 Amahon thu lhuhna asem uchu Pakai muntheng lama nahin lhut diu, amahon asei bang uva nabol diu ahi.

And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:

11 Dan dung juiya thulhuhna chu ahin phondoh tenguleh, thulhuhna jouse chu ahina banga chelha ding, imacha na hapbe thei tah lou diu ahi.

Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.

12 Koihileh Pakai, Pathen angsunga thutan vaihom ho natohna deilou vetsahna jal'a kisa auma ahileh, thina chang ding ahi. Hitia chu phat louna kiti phot Israel mite lah akona nano mang diu ahi.

And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.

13 Hitobang chu mi jousen ahin jahsoh kei diu, chuteng koima aphalouva chon ngam talou ding ahi.

And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.

14 Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in napehnau gamsung nalhun diu ahitai. Hiche gamsung nalhun tenguleh, i-lamkai diuvin leng khat, nam dangte kivaipoh nabang in tungdoh tauhite tia nasei diu ahi.

When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;

15 Chutengleh Israel mite lah a Pakai, Pathen in atundoh ding ahi. Hichu nalah uva mikhat pen pang ding, amavang kholjin mi nalhen thei lou diu ahi.

Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.

16 Leng a pang pen ding pen chun, sakol kangtalai ngaichat jeh’a mikhat tou Egypt gam'a sakol kangtalai cho dinga asol thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangho Egypt gam nakile kit thei lou diu ahitai.

And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.

17 Lengpa chun jitampi anei thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai akona apui mang thei diu ahi. Chule ama ding jeng ajong sana leh dangka akikhol thei lou ding ahi.

And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.

18 Leng touna mun alo tengleh, amapa chun danbu akilah ding, alal-touna muna chu akikoi ding ahi.

And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:

19 Hiche danbu lekhajol chu akoma akoi ding adamlai sunga asim jing ding ahi. Hichea kona chu dan leh thupeh ijakai Pakaiya kon in aume ti amu chet ding, dengchang tah’a ajui jing ding ahi.

And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:

20 Hiche lekhajol asima kona chu kiletsahna puma, achenkhompi mi jouse sanga chungnung kahi tia umlou ding ahi. Chule hichea kona hi lamchoma kihei mang louva umjing ding kahi tijong ahet doh thei ding ahi. Keima leh ka chilhah ten Israel sung hi akhang akhanga ka vaihop diu ahi, tijong het dohna anei thei diu ahi.

So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.
