< 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.
Pasal in numei chu ji dinga akipui teng, hiche numeinu chu achung’a themmo na ana um khah tah a, ajipa chu alung lhaisah jou tah louva ahileh, ajipan jong kidana lekha phatah asut ding hichu akichoi sah a, a insunga kona asoldoh ding ahi.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Chuteng numeinu chu che a, pasal dang khat toh gaki cheng thei ahi.
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.
Chule hiche ajipa jong chun numeinu chunga chu, lungkim louna aneikhah a ahileh, amasa ngaiya banga kidana lekha asut peh ding akichoi sah a a-insunga kona asoldoh jeng ding ahi. Ahinlah aji luipa chu ana thi khah tah leh,
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.”
Ama nu dinga ajimasa pa aluipa chun, ji dinga aki lepui thei tah lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang thil hohi Pakaiya dia thet umtah ahin, Pakai, Pathen in napeh nau gamsunga hitobang thilpha lou aboh hohi na umsah loudiu ahi.
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.
Pasal khat chu ajinei thah ahileh, amapa chu galsat mia panda hen chule natoh dang jong bolsah lou ding ahi. Kum khat lhingset ain muna um ding, alungdei pennu chutoh noma umkhom ding ahi.
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.
Chule koiman chang sum man, sumhei song man hijong leh thil dang khat toh kisaiya bat a alah thei lou ding ahi. Hichu alah khah tah a ahileh, mihem hinkho thil bat mana alah ahitai.
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.
Koi hileh asopi Israel mi khat tou aguh a aguh pattah akimat doh’a ahileh, hiche ami guhdoh chu soh banga abol tah a, aki joh mang jenga, hitobang gucha chu thina nachan sah diu, hiche ho chu nalah uva kona nasuh mang diu ahi.
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.
Chule phah natna chung chang thudol ahin, Levi thempu hon nahilna bang uva nabol na diuvin limgeh chan um uvin, keima thupeh banga nanghon jong nabol doh theina diu ahi.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Ajeh chu Egypt gamsunga kona nahung potdoh uva Pakai, Pathen in Miriam abolna chung thudol achun limgeh chan um un.
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 sopi khat touvin thil khat bat a alah khah tah’a ahileh, nangho jong ama insunga chu namoh lut lou diu chule hiche hi akhela kaki lah ding ahi, tiajong thil ho chu nalhen thei lou diu ahi.
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Chule nangho in polama naum diu, nangho thil bat a lapa vang chu insunga lut a, nabat sahna diuva thil na lepeh diu pen chu ahin choidoh diu ahi.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Nangho thil bat a lapa chu mivaicha neilal ahi khah tahleh, nanghon achunga asea lethuhna nanei lou diu ahi.
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.
Nisa lhum tengleh hiche athil bat man chu nale sah diu, chuteng aman aponsil achol pen chu lupna a aman ding, nanghon jong phatthei nachan tei diu ahi. Hichu Pakai, Pathen maiya thil dih tah ahi.
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.
Soh thalah khat chu nasuh gimlou hel diu, hitobanga vaichaa hinkho mang mihem chu, nagam sung'uva cheng nasopi mikhat tou hi nante.
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.
Hitobang mihem chu naki thalah nikho mamau nilhum masang a, atohman chu napeh diu ahi. Ama chu mivaicha tah ahin, athaman chu anga jing ding, a chuti louva ahileh ama akona lhasetna hung lhung thei ding, aman jong nangho douna jal'a Pakai henga thu hinsei in tin, hichu nangho dinga chonset ahi.
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.
Chule mipa ho chu achate jal'a thina ki chansah louhel diu, achate jal'a jong apate thina ki chansah lou ding ahi. Amavang koi hileh ama ama chonset jal'a bou chu thina kichan sah ding ahi.
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].
Khopem mikhat leh chagapa chung thua adihna thutan chu nahei loudiu, meithai ho ponsil jong thilbat mana nalah peh thei lou diu ahi.
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].
Ajeh chu nangho jong Egypt gamsunga soh changsa nahiuvin, Pakai, Pathen akona lhatdamsa ihiuve, ti nasuh mil lou diu, hiche pen tah jeh’a chu keiman bol in tia ka thupeh chu nabol jeng diu ahi.
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.
Lou laiya chang at a nakon tenguleh, lou laiya changpal nada lhah thei lou diu, changpal le akhai athang ho jong nanung lo thei lou diu ahi. Hiche ho chu chaga hole nubei, pabei meithai ho ding ahi. Chuteng Pakai, Pathen in nabol natoh jouseuva kona phattheina dimset naboh diu ahi.
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.
Olive thing na phuh lhuh tenguleh, avel vel'a nivei chang naphuh lou diu, mivaicha, chaga, nulou, palou ho dinga nakhen tei diu ahi.
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].
Lengpi leiya lengpiga naki chop khom teng ujongleh, nada lhah nasa nung'uva akhai chengse chu na donlou diu ahi. Ajeh chu chaga, mivaicha, meithai nulou, palou ho ding ahiye.
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].”
Ajeh chu nangho jong Egypt gam sunga ana soh changsa chu nahiuvin, hichu nagel doh jing diu chule hichengse hi nabol diuva ka thupeh nahi.
