11 Hitia chu aumkhah tah le ani gellhon na Pakai angsung'a kihahselna anei lhon ding ahi. Chu teng gancha neipan jong kihahselna chu anganse jeng ding hiche gancha chu asah lou ding ahi tai.”

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

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

If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
