Deuteronomy 24
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
Hlang loh yuu a loh tih a yuunah mai ni. Tedae anih soah olka dongah a yah a hmuh tih a mik ah mikdaithen hmu mai mahpawh. Te vaengah huta ham yuuhlaknah ca daek saeh lamtah a kut ah pae saeh. Te phoeiah anih te a im lamloh tueih saeh.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Tedae anih im lamloh coe tih a caeh van coeng atah hlang tloe hut la om coeng.
3 and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
A va pabae long khaw a hnoel bal atah yuuhlak ca te daek pah tih a kut dongah tloeng pah phoeiah a im lamloh tueih cakhaw, amah yuu la anih aka lo a va pabae loh duek mai cakhaw,
4 If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tueilaehkoi la a poeih hnukah a yuu la amah taengah om sak ham khaw, anih a loh ham khaw, a mael puei ham khaw, anih aka hla lamhma a boei tah coeng thai boel saeh. Te dongah na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen ah tholh boeh.
5 “When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
A thai la yuu aka lo hlang loh caempuei taengah nuen boel lamtah a pum dongah bitat pakhat khaw phuei boel saeh. Kum khat tah amah im ah ommongsitoe la om saeh lamtah a yuu a loh te a kohoe puei saeh.
6 “Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
Kuelhsum neh leng khaw laikoi boeh, teka te a hinglu ni na laikoi.
7 “If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
Israel ca rhoek lamloh a manuca kah hinglu aka huen hlang te a uum mai ni. Te vaengah anih te a tueihhno tih a yoih atah tekah hlanghuen te duek sak lamtah namah khui lamkah boethae te hnawt.
8 “If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
Bahoeng ngaithuen ham koi dongah hmaibae tloh he ngaithuen. Te dongah amih ka uen vanbangla Levi khosoih rhoek loh nangmih n'thuinuet boeih te saii ham neh vai hamla ngaithuen.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Egypt lamkah na pawk uh phoeikah longpueng ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh Miriam pum dongah a saii te poek uh.
10 “When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
Na hui taengah laiba pakhat na hlah tih anih kah hnohol hoe ham te a im khuila paan boeh.
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Kawtpoeng ah ana pai lamtah hnohol te cangpu kung amah loh nang taengah kawtpoeng la hang khuen saeh.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Tedae tekah hlang ni a mang a daeng oeh atah a hnohol te yalh sak boeh.
13 When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
Khomik a tlak vaengah a hnohol te amah taengah bal rhoe bal. Te daengah ni a himbai khuila a yalh vaengah nang yoethen m'paek vetih nang ham khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah duengnah la a om eh.
14 “Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
Na khohmuen kah na vongka ah na manuca lamkah khaw, na yinlai lamkah khaw mangdaeng neh khodaeng kutloh te hnaemtaek boeh.
15 Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
A thapang te amah khohnin dongah pae lamtah a soah khomik tla boel saeh. A mang a daeng dongah a hinglu khaw a thapang neh a duel. Te daengah ni BOEIPA taengla nang m'pang thil vaengah nang soah tholhnah a om pawt eh.
16 “Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
A ca rhoek kongah a napa rhoek duek boel saeh lamtah a napa rhoek kongah a ca rhoek duek boel saeh. Hlang boeih he amah tholh dongah boeih duek uh saeh.
17 “You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
Laitloeknah dongah yinlai te maelh boeh. Nuhmai neh cadah kah himbai khaw laikoi boeh.
18 Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
Egypt ah sal la na om tih BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'lat te khaw poek. Te dongah ni tahae kah olka he na vai hamla kai loh nang kang uen.
19 “When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
Na lohma kah na cang na ah tih lohma ah canghmoek na hmaai akhaw loh hamla koep mael boeh. Yinlai ham khaw, cadah neh nuhmai ham khaw om mai saeh. Te daengah ni na kut dongkah bitat cungkuem dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang yoethen m'paek eh.
20 And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
Na olive te na hae phoeiah namah loh koep khael voel boeh. Yinlai ham, cadah neh nuhmai ham om pawn saeh.
21 [Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
Na misur na bit tangtae te namah loh koep yoep boeh. Yinlai ham, cadah ham neh nuhmai ham mah om pawn saeh.
22 Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
Egypt kho ah sal la na om te khaw poek. Te dongah ni tahae kah olka na vai ham koi he kai loh nang kang uen.
