Deuteronomy 16
1 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah Abib khrah, aqum ah nangcae Izip prae hoi ang loih o sak pongah, Abib khrah to zaa oh; na Angraeng Sithaw han misong loihhaih niah patoh oh.
“Observe the month of new grain, at the beginning of springtime, so that you may accomplish the Passover to the Lord your God. For in this month, the Lord your God led you away from Egypt in the night.
2 Angraeng mah angmah ih ahmin oh hanah, qoih ih ahmuen ah, misong loih angbawnhaih moi to na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah paek oh.
And you shall immolate the Passover to the Lord your God, from sheep and from oxen, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.
3 Tawt kak hoiah Izip prae to na tacawt o taak pongah, hing thung Izip prae tacawttaakhaih atue to na panoek o poe hanah, ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa oh; taeh thuh ih takaw to caa o hmah.
You shall not eat it with leavened bread. For seven days you shall eat, without leaven, the bread of affliction. For you departed from Egypt in fear. So may you remember the day of your departure from Egypt, throughout all the days of your life.
4 Ni sarihto thung na prae thung boih ah, taeh thuh ih takaw to caa o hmah; ni hmaloe koek duembang ah na paek o ih moi to, khawnbang khoek to amtlai o sak hmah.
No leaven shall be present in all your confines for seven days. And by morning, there shall not remain any of the flesh which was immolated on the first day in the evening.
5 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih vangpui boih ah, misong loih angbawnhaih to sah o hmah;
You cannot immolate the Passover in any of your cities, which the Lord your God will give to you, that you wish,
6 na Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih ahmin oh hanah, qoih ih ahmuen khue ah, duembang ah misong loih angbawnhaih to sah oh; na tacawt o taak ih Izip prae to panoek poe hanah, niduem naah sah oh.
but only in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there. You shall immolate the Passover in the evening, upon the setting of the sun, which is the time when you departed from Egypt.
7 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah qoih ih ahmuen ah hmai hoi pahai o ah loe, caa oh; khawnbang ah amlaem o ah loe, na oh o haih im ah caeh oh.
And you shall cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose, and, rising up in the morning, you shall go into your tent.
8 Ni tarukto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa oh, ni sarihto naah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah amkhueng oh, tok to sah o hmah.
For six days, you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord your God, you shall do no work.
9 Cang aah amtong tangsuek nathuem hoi ni sarihto thung kroek oh.
You shall number for yourself seven weeks from that day, the day on which you put the sickle to the grain field.
10 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek ih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah na koeh zetto angbawnhaih poih to ni sarihto thung patoh oh.
And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, to the Lord your God, with a voluntary oblation from your hand, which you shall offer according to the blessing of the Lord your God.
11 To naah na Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih ahmin oh hanah, qoih ih ahmuen ah nangmah hoi na canu na capanawk, na tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, na vangpui thungah kaom Levinawk, angvinnawk, na qahhnawk, nangcae salakah kaom lamhmainawk hoi nawnto, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah anghoe oh.
And you shall feast in the sight of the Lord your God: you, your son and your daughter, your man servant and your woman servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the new arrival as well as the orphan and the widow, who abide with you, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.
12 Izip prae ah misong ah ka oh, tiah panoek oh, hae zaehhoihaih daannawk hae pazui oh loe, sah ah.
And you shall recall that you were a servant in Egypt. And you shall preserve and carry out the things that have been instructed.
13 Cang aah pacoeng moe, misurtui na pasawh o pacoengah, ni sarihto thung kahni im poih to sah oh.
Likewise, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days, when you will have gathered your fruits from the orchard and the winepress.
14 Poih kungah, nangmah hoi na canu, na capanawk, na tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, Levi kaminawk, angvinnawk, na vangpui thungah kaom, ampa tawn ai kaminawk, lamhmainawk hoi nawnto anghoe oh.
And you shall feast at the time of your festival: you, your son and daughter, your man servant and woman servant, likewise the Levite and the new arrival, the orphan and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 Angraeng mah qoih ih ahmuen ah, ni sarihto thung na Angraeng Sithaw hanah poih to sah oh; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na aah o ih cangnawk hoi na sak o ih hmuennawk boih pongah, tahamhoihaih na paek o tih; to naah nangcae loe anghoehaih hoiah na koep o tih boeh.
For seven days you shall celebrate feasts to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord will choose. And the Lord your God will bless you in all your crops, and in every work of your hands. And you shall be joyful.
16 Nongpanawk boih loe Angraeng angmah qoih ih ahmuen ah, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah saningto naah taeh thuh ai ih poih vai thumto sakhaih, ni sarihto thung sak ih poih hoi kahni im poihsakhaih ahmuen ah angzoh o han oh; mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng hmaa ah bangkrai ah angzoh o han om ai.
Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight the Lord your God in the place which he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. No one shall appear before the Lord empty.
17 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih ang paek o ih baktih toengah, kami boih mah a sin o thai tawk hmuen to a sin o han oh.
But each one shall offer according to what he will have, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he will give to him.
18 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang paek o ih vangpui kruekah, acaengnawk lokcaekkungnawk hoi ukkungnawk to suem oh, kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah uk oh.
You shall appoint judges and magistrates at all your gates, which the Lord your God will give to you, throughout each of your tribes, so that they may judge the people with a just judgment,
19 Nang loe toenghaih loklam hoiah amkhraeng ving hmah; kami mikhmai doeh khen hmah loe, bokhaih tangqum doeh talawk hmah; bokhaih tangqum mah palungha kaminawk to mikmaengsak moe, katoeng kami ih lok to angkoisak.
and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.
20 Toenghaih khue to pazui oh; to tiah nahaeloe na hing o ueloe, Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae to na toep o tih.
You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
21 Na Angraeng Sithaw han na sak o ih hmaicam taengah kawbaktih Asherah tung doeh thling o hmah.
You shall not plant a sacred grove, nor shall you plant any tree near the altar of the Lord your God;
22 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah hnukma ih kawbaktih krang doeh thling o hmah.
you shall neither make nor set up for yourself a statue. These things the Lord your God hates.”
