1Takpum akoep ai, ahmaa kaom nongpa loe, Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai.
1He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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.
2A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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;
3An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
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.
4because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, 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.
5Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6Na hing o thung hae kaminawk hoi natuek naah doeh angdaehhaih sah o hmah.
6You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.

7You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor 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.

10If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
11Toe duembang ah tui amhluh ueloe, ni akun pacoengah ni ataihaih im ah amlaem vop tih.
11but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12Nangcae ataihaih tasa bangah palaep caehhaih ahmuen maeto sah oh, to ahmuen ah palaep caeh oh;
12You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go 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.
13You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;

14for the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
15Angmah ih angraeng khae hoi nang khaeah kacawn misong to angmah ih angraeng khaeah paek let hmah.
15You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to 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.
16He shall dwell with you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
17Israel nongpatanawk loe tangzat zawh han om ai, nongpanawk doeh nongpata baktiah takpum zawh han om ai.
17There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
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 shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination 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;
19You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
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 you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
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.
21When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22Toe lokkamhaih na sah ai nahaeloe, na zaehaih ah om mak ai.
22But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
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.
23You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
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 come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
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 come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
