1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: I am the LORD your God.
2Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
3After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
3Na oh o haih, Izip prae ah na sak o ih hmuen baktiah sah o hmah; kang hoih o ih, Kanaan prae kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktiah doeh sah o hmah; nihcae ih tuinuen doeh awt o hmah.
4Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
4Ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh loe, kang paek ih loknawk to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.
5Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them: I am the LORD.
5Kang paek o ih loknawk hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh; pazui kami loe a pazuihaih rang hoiah hing tih; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
6None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am the LORD.
6Mi kawbaktih doeh athii kanghnai kami hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
7The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

23And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it is perversion.

24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from before you.
24Hae baktih hmuen sakhaih hoiah nangmah hoi nangmah to panuet thok ah om hmah; nangcae hmaa ah ka haek ih kaminawk loe to tiah khosak o.
25And the land was defiled, therefore I did visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you —

27for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled —
27(To baktih hmuen to nangcae hmaa ah kaom, prae kaminawk mah sak o pongah, prae to panuet thoh boeh;)
28that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
28nangcae hmaa ah kaom kaminawk to pakha thung hoi pathak baktih toengah, nangcae doeh pathak han ai ah, panuet thok hmuen to sah o hmah.
29For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
29Mi kawbaktih doeh to baktih panuet thok hmuen sah kami loe, angmacae acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.
30Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
30To pongah nangcae hmaa ah a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk pongah, nangmacae hoi nangmacae amhnong han ai ah, kang paek ih lok to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
