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 Abib, and keep the Passover to Jehovah your God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Angraeng mah angmah ih ahmin oh hanah, qoih ih ahmuen ah, misong loih angbawnhaih moi to na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah paek oh.

You shall sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to 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 eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt 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 yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

5 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih vangpui boih ah, misong loih angbawnhaih to sah o hmah;

You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which Jehovah your God gives you;

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 at the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of 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.

You shall roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

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.

Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah your God; you shall do no work.

9 Cang aah amtong tangsuek nathuem hoi ni sarihto thung kroek oh.

You shall count for yourselves seven weeks: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks.

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.

You shall keep the feast of weeks to Jehovah your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as Jehovah your God blesses you:

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 rejoice before Jehovah your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

12 Izip prae ah misong ah ka oh, tiah panoek oh, hae zaehhoihaih daannawk hae pazui oh loe, sah ah.

You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

13 Cang aah pacoeng moe, misurtui na pasawh o pacoengah, ni sarihto thung kahni im poih to sah oh.

You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your 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 rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, 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.

You shall keep a feast to Jehovah your God seven days in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether 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 in a year shall all your males appear before Jehovah your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents; and they shall not appear before Jehovah 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.

every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah your God which he has given you.

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 make judges and officers in all your gates, which Jehovah your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous 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.

You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

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 follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which Jehovah your God gives you.

21 Na Angraeng Sithaw han na sak o ih hmaicam taengah kawbaktih Asherah tung doeh thling o hmah.

You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Jehovah your God, which you shall make for yourselves.

22 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah hnukma ih kawbaktih krang doeh thling o hmah.

Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which Jehovah your God hates.
