1Takpum akoep ai, ahmaa kaom nongpa loe, Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai.
1No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2Payang caa loe Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai; a caanawk dung hato karoek to Angraeng kaminawk akunhaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai.
2No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
3Ammon hoi Moab kaminawk doeh Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun o thai mak ai; a caanawk dung hato karoek to Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai;
3No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
4Izip prae hoi nang zoh o naah, loklam ah takaw hoiah maw, tui hoiah maw, na dawt o ai; nihcae loe nangcae tangoengsak hanah Mesopotamia prae, Pethor vangpui ah kaom Boer capa Balaam to pacae o.
4For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
5Toe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw mah Balaam ih lok to tahngai pae ai; na Angraeng mah ang palung o pongah, tangoenghaih to tahamhoihaih ah ang paqoi pae o lat.
5Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
6Na hing o thung hae kaminawk hoi natuek naah doeh angdaehhaih sah o hmah.
6You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
7Edom kaminawk to hnuma o hmah; nihcae loe nangcae ih nawkamya ah ni oh o; Izip kaminawk doeh hnuma o hmah, nangcae loe nihcae prae ah angvin ah na oh o.
7Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8Nihcae ih caa adung thumto haih naah ni, Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun o thai tih.
8The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
9Misatuh kaminawk misatuk han caeh o naah, kahoih ai hmuennawk to ayae o boih ah.
9When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
10Nangcae thung ih nongpa maeto loe aqum ah kaom hmuen pongah ciimcai ai ah om nahaeloe, ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah tacawt han oh, ataihaih ahmuen ah angzoh han om ai.
10If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
11Toe duembang ah tui amhluh ueloe, ni akun pacoengah ni ataihaih im ah amlaem vop tih.
11When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.
12Nangcae ataihaih tasa bangah palaep caehhaih ahmuen maeto sah oh, to ahmuen ah palaep caeh oh;
12You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.
13ataihaih tasa bangah palaep na caeh o naah, long takaehhaih kamsum hmuen to sin oh loe, long takhaeh pacoengah palaep caeh oh, palaep na caeh o pacoengah aphum o let ah.
13And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
14Nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw loe nangcae to pahlong moe, na misanawk nangcae ban ah paek hanah, na tai o haih ahmuen ah amkaeh; to pongah nangcae thungah ciimcai ai hmuennawk to anih mah hnuk moe, nangcae angqoi taak ving han ai ah, na oh o haih ahmuen to ciimcai o sak ah.
14For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.
15Angmah ih angraeng khae hoi nang khaeah kacawn misong to angmah ih angraeng khaeah paek let hmah.
15Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
16To misong loe a oh koehhaih kaw baktih ahmuen ah doeh, na ohhaih vangpui kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh oh thaih; anih to pacaekthlaek hmah.
16Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
17Israel nongpatanawk loe tangzat zawh han om ai, nongpanawk doeh nongpata baktiah takpum zawh han om ai.
17No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
18Tangzat zawh ih phoisa, lokkamhaih sak hanah ui zawh ih phoisanawk to na Angraeng Sithaw im ah sin o hmah; hae hmuennawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah panuet thoh.
18You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
19Nam nawkamya hanah phoisa na coisak naah, a caa to la hmah; phoisa maw, caak koi hmuennawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih hmuen nuiah maw doeh, a caa to la hmah;
19Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
20minawk kalah khaeah loe kangpung a caa to la ah; toe Israel kami nam nawkamyanawk khaeah loe la hmah; to tiah ni na toep han ih prae thungah na kun naah, na ban hoi sui ih hmuen boih ah na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek tih.
20You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
21Na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih na sak nahaeloe, na sak ih lokkamhaih to sah ai ah om hmah; na Angraeng Sithaw mah suk ueloe, na zaehaih ah om moeng tih.
21If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
22Toe lokkamhaih na sah ai nahaeloe, na zaehaih ah om mak ai.
22But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
23Na pakha hoi tacawt hmuen to sah boih ah; na koehhaih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah pakha hoi sak ih lokkamhaih baktiah sah ah.
23Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
24Na imtaeng kami ih misur takha thungah na caeh nahaeloe, misurthaih to na koeh zetto na caak thaih, toe daengkraem hoiah na phaw mak ai.
24When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.
25Na imtaeng kami ih lawk thungah na caeh nahaeloe, cangqui to na ban hoi pahoeh thaih; toe cakra hoiah na aat mak ai.
25When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.
