Deuteronomy 24

1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

Nongpa maeto mah zu lak naah, nongpata nuiah kaciim ai hmuen to a hnuk pongah, a zu nuiah poeknawm ai nahaeloe, zu pakhrakhaih ca to tarik tih, ca to nongpata hanah paek ueloe, a im hoiah tacawtsak tih.

2 When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

Anih ih im tacawt taak pacoengah loe, to nongpata to kalah kami maeto khaeah sava sak thaih boeh.

3 If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;

Sava hnetto haih mah doeh to nongpata to hnuma nahaeloe, zu pakhrakhaih ca to tarik tih, ca to nongpata hanah paek ueloe, a im hoiah tacawtsak tih, to tih ai boeh loe to nongpata zu haih hnukkhuem sava to dueh ving nahaeloe,

4 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

anih pakhrah kami hmaloe ih sava mah to nongpata to zu ah la let thai mak ai boeh; nongpata loe ciim ai boeh; zu haih nahaeloe Angraeng mik hnukah panuet thok hmuen ah oh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawk ah paek ih prae nuiah zaehaih sah o hmah.

5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

Kami maeto loe zu lak tangsuek naah, anih loe misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah caeh mak ai; anih loe kalah tok doeh sah mak ai; saningto thung toksah ai ah im ah om tih; a lak ih zu hoiah kanawm ah khosah tih.

6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

Minawk ih cang kaehhaih ranui ih thlung maw, to tih ai boeh loe atlim ih thlung maw, la pae ving hmah; na lak pae ving nahaeloe, kami hinghaih lak pae ving baktiah ni oh.

7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

Kami maeto mah angmah ih nawkamya Israel kami to paquk moe, misong ah patoh maw, to tih ai boeh loe zaw ving nahaeloe, anih to hum han oh; to tiah nangcae salak hoiah kahoih ai hmuen to takhoe oh.

8 Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

Ngansae man naah, Levi kami qaimanawk mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kahoih ah pazui oh; anih mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah oh; nihcae khaeah ka thuih ih lok baktih toeng ah, nangcae mah pazui oh.

9 Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.

Izip prae hoiah nang zoh o naah, loklam ah Miriam nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen to panoek oh.

10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

Kawbaktih hmuen doeh na imtaeng kami khaeah coi han na paek o naah, anih ih hmuen maeto lak pae hanah, anih imthung ah akun han om ai.

11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

Im tasa bangah om ah, hmuen na coisak ih kami mah ni pawng ih hmuen to nang hanah na sin pae tih.

12 If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

To kami loe amtang nahaeloe, a sin ih hmuen to qumh to laem ai ah paek let ah.

13 You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.

Anih mah sin ih hmuen to niduem ai naah thaak pae let ah; to tiah ni to kami loe angmah ih kahni hoiah iip ueloe, nang to tahamhoihaih na paek tih; to tiah nahaeloe na Angraeng Sithaw mikhnuk ah na sak ih hmuen to katoeng ah om tih.

14 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.

Nam nawkamya maw, to tih ai boeh loe na vangpui thungah kaom angvin maw, abomh han kangaih na tlai ih kamtang tamna to pacaekthlaek hmah.

15 In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.

Ni thokkruek anih ih tok tho to paek ah; paek ai ah niduemsak hmah; anih loe amtang pongah a hnuk han koi atho to palung thungah pakuem poe tih; na paek ai nahaeloe anih mah kasae thui tih, anih mah Angraeng khaeah qah nahaeloe, na nuiah zaehaih om moeng tih.

16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

A caanawk pongah ampanawk dueksak han om ai, ampanawk pongah a caanawk doeh paduek han om ai; kami boih angmah ih zaehaih pongah ni duek han oh.

17 You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

Prae kalah kaminawk hoi amno ampa tawn ai kaminawk to amsoem ai ah lokcaek o hmah; lamhmai ih kahni doeh pawng ih hmuen ah la pae hmah;

18 but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

nang loe Izip prae ah misong ah ni na oh; toe na Angraeng Sithaw mah to prae thung hoiah ang pahlong, tiah panoek ah; to pongah hae tiah sak han lok kang paek.

19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Na lawk thung ih cang na aah naah, na tahmat ih cangqui to om nahaeloe, akhuih han amlaem let hmah; to cangqui loe prae kalah kaminawk, amno ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk hanah om tih; to tiah ni na ban hoi sak ih hmuen boih ah na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek tih.

20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

Olive kung pong ih olive thaih na haeh naah, kanghmat to pakhrik let hmah; kanghmat athaih loe prae kalah kaminawk, amno ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk hanah suem paeh.

21 When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

Misur takha thung ih misurthaih na pakhrik naah, kanghmat misurthaih pakhrik hanah caeh let hmah; kanghmat loe prae kalah kaminawk, amno ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk hanah caehtaak ah.

22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

Izip prae ah misong ah na oh o haih to pahnet o hmah; to pongah ni to tiah sak han kang thuih o.
