Deuteronomy 23
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1(23-2) He that is crushed or maimed in his privy parts shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD.
1Takpum akoep ai, ahmaa kaom nongpa loe, Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun thai mak ai.
2(23-3) A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into 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.
3(23-4) An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of them enter into the assembly of the LORD for ever;
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;
4(23-5) because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.
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.
5(23-6) Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
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.
6(23-7) Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
6Na hing o thung hae kaminawk hoi natuek naah doeh angdaehhaih sah o hmah.
7(23-8) Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
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.
8(23-9) The children of the third generation that are born unto them may enter into the assembly of the LORD.
8Nihcae ih caa adung thumto haih naah ni, Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah akun o thai tih.
9(23-10) When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.
9Misatuh kaminawk misatuk han caeh o naah, kahoih ai hmuennawk to ayae o boih ah.
10(23-11) If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp.
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.
11(23-12) But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he may come within the camp.
11Toe duembang ah tui amhluh ueloe, ni akun pacoengah ni ataihaih im ah amlaem vop tih.
12(23-13) Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad.
12Nangcae ataihaih tasa bangah palaep caehhaih ahmuen maeto sah oh, to ahmuen ah palaep caeh oh;
13(23-14) And thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee.
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.
14(23-15) For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that He see no unseemly thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
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.
15(23-16) Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a bondman that is escaped from his master unto thee;
15Angmah ih angraeng khae hoi nang khaeah kacawn misong to angmah ih angraeng khaeah paek let hmah.
16(23-17) he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best; thou shalt not wrong him.
16To misong loe a oh koehhaih kaw baktih ahmuen ah doeh, na ohhaih vangpui kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh oh thaih; anih to pacaekthlaek hmah.
17(23-18) There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
17Israel nongpatanawk loe tangzat zawh han om ai, nongpanawk doeh nongpata baktiah takpum zawh han om ai.
18(23-19) Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
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.
19(23-20) Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest.
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;
20(23-21) Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
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.
21(23-22) When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it; for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it will be sin in thee.
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.
22(23-23) But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
22Toe lokkamhaih na sah ai nahaeloe, na zaehaih ah om mak ai.
23(23-24) That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed freely unto the LORD thy God, even that which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
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.
24(23-25) When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes until thou have enough at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
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.
25(23-26) When thou comest into thy neighbour's standing corn, then thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
25Na imtaeng kami ih lawk thungah na caeh nahaeloe, cangqui to na ban hoi pahoeh thaih; toe cakra hoiah na aat mak ai.
