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.
You are to observe the month of Abib and to celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God led you out of Egypt by night.

Don't eat ordinary bread with it. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast with it, the bread of hardship, because you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. This way you'll remember day you left Egypt for the rest of your lives.

Don't sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you.

Cook it and eat it in the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning go back to your tents.

All your men must come before the Lord your God in the place He will choose three times every year: the Festival of Bread without Yeast, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before the Lord without an offering.

Don't pervert justice or show favoritism. Don't take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the wise and twists the words of the truthful.

Don't ever set up a wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you build for the Lord your God,
22 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah hnukma ih kawbaktih krang doeh thling o hmah.
and don't make for yourselves an idolatrous stone pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
