Thothuengnah 20

The Lord told Moses,
2 “Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah. Israel ca rhoek neh Israel taengah aka bakuep yinlai khui lamkah hlang khat khat loh a tiingan te Molek taengah a paek atah vang khuikah pilnam loh lungto neh dae uh saeh lamtah duek rhoela duek saeh.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.

I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 Tedae Molek taengah a tiingan aka pae hlang te khohmuen pilnam loh a mik a him a him thil uh tih a duek sak uh pawt atah,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.

I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.

I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
