¹If one be found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him;

¹TOUPA na Pathian un luah dinga a honpiak gamah, gam lakah mi hihlupa na om bang hita leh, a hihlummi theih louh hita leh:

²then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:

²Na upate uh leh na vaihawmte uh a hongpai ding ua, a hihlup na kim khua akipanin a teh ding ua:

³and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;

³Huan, hichi ahi dinga, a luanga kipana kho naipen, huai kho upaten bawng hon laka bawngla, zat nai louh, hakkol po nai lou a kai ding ua:

⁴and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

⁴Huan, huai kho upaten bawngla, tui luanna, leileh louh lai leh bangmah chin louhna guamah a kaisuk ding ua, guamah bawngla ngawng a tan ding ua:

⁵The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.

⁵Huan, Levi tapa siamputen a honjuan ding ua, amau TOUPA na Pathian un a nasemmi leh TOUPA mina vualjawlmi dinga a sehte lah ahi ngalua; thubuai leh kivuak thu agen bangbang uh ahi ding.

⁶All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

⁶Huan, luang naihpen kho upate tengtengin guama bawngla ngawng a tan tunguah a khut uh a sil ding ua:

⁷and they shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

⁷Ka khut un hiai sisan a suah keia, ka mit un leng a mu sam kei.

⁸Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.

⁸TOUPA aw, na tatkhiak na mi Israelte lakah poikhoih lou sisan suahna om phal ken, a chi ding ua, a pang ding uh ahi. Huchiin sisan thuah ngaihdam ahi ding uh.

⁹So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

⁹Huchibangin TOUPA mitmuha thil hoih hihin poikhoihlou sisan suahna na laka kipan na dangsak ding hi.

¹⁰When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,

¹⁰Na melmate uh sim dinga na kipatkhiak ua, TOUPA na Pathian un na khut ua a honpiaka, sala n api ua,

¹¹and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire to her, and would take her to you as wife;

¹¹Sal laka numei melhoih tak, na mi deihlam uh, ji dinga na mi deihlam tak uh na muh uleh;

¹²then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

¹²Huchiin na in uah na pi ding ua; a lu a met dinga, a khutchin a tan ding;

¹³and she shall put the clothing of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

¹³Huan, a sal puannak a suah ding ua, na in uah a om ding ua, kha khat mahmah a nu uh leh a pa uh a sun ding ua, huai khit chiangin, na kithuah pih ding ua, a pasal uh na hi ding ua, amau na ji uh ahi ding uhi.

¹⁴It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she will; but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.

¹⁴Huan, amaua kipahna na neih kei uleh a ututna ua a pai uh na phal ding uh ahi, sum leh paiin na juak ding uh ahi kei hiala, sumsinnain na bawl ding uh ahi kei, na daisakta ngal ua.

¹⁵If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers who was hated;

¹⁵Min ji nih nei bang hita leh, khatpen deihin khatpen hota leh, a deihnu leh a huatnuin ta suan sak tuaktuak ta leh; huan tapa upapen a huatnu ta hi taleh;

¹⁶then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn:

¹⁶A gou neih a tapate a khopsak hun chiangin a deihpen tapa a tapa upa a huatpen ta sanga deihsakna a bawl ding ahi keia:

¹⁷but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

¹⁷A huatpen ta, a ta upa pen, a neih tengteng akipan tan nih huai dinga a bawl ding ahi; a hatna bul ahi a, ta chil hihna a tuam ahi hi.

¹⁸If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;

¹⁸Min tapa phengphi tak, hel hat tak nei bang hita leh, a nu leh a pa thumang louin, a sawina uh limsakta keileh:

¹⁹then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;

¹⁹A nu leh a pan a kai ding ua, a kho upate uh kiangah a kho kulh kongpi bul uah a pi ding uhi;

²⁰and they shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.”

²⁰Huan, a kho upate uh kiangah, Hiai ka tapa uh phengphi tak leh helhat tak ahi a, ka thu uh leng a mang nuam keia; kizat bei hat leh kham hat mi ahi, a chi ding uhi.

²¹All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

²¹Huchiin khuaa mi tengtengin suangin a denglum ding uhi; huchibangin na lak ua kipan thil hoihlou na hihmang ding uh ahi; huan, Israel mi tangtengin a za ding ua, a lau ding uhi.

²²If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;

²²Huan, min sihna khop gilou a hiha, hihlup a hiha singdawna na khai uleh;A luang singah jankhuain a om ding ahi keia; huai ni mahmahin na vui ding uhi; singa khai peuhmah lah Pathian hamse thuak ahi ngala; TOUPA na Pathian un luah dinga a honpiak na gam uh na hih nit louhna ding un.

²³his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

²³A luang singah jankhuain a om ding ahi keia; huai ni mahmahin na vui ding uhi; singa khai peuhmah lah Pathian hamse thuak ahi ngala; TOUPA na Pathian un luah dinga a honpiak na gam uh na hih nit louhna ding un.
