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 unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee 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.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD 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.

Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy 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.

And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

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

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

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 the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest 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.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy 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 thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work [therein].

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

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing corn shalt thou 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.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as the LORD thy God blesseth thee:

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 thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the LORD thy 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.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

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

Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy 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 thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy 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.

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thine hands, and thou shalt 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 thy males appear before the LORD thy 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 tabernacles: and they shall not 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.

every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

18 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang paek o ih vangpui kruekah, acaengnawk lokcaekkungnawk hoi ukkungnawk to suem oh, kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah uk oh.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, according to thy 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.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons: neither shalt thou take a gift; for a gift doth 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.

That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

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

Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

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

Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which the LORD thy God hateth.
