Olrhaepnah 15
1 Kum rhih a thok vaengah laiba hlahnah na saii ni.
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
2 He tah laiba hlahnah olka ni. Boei boeih loh a kut dongkah cangpu te a hui taengah a pu. Tedae BOEIPA kah laiba hlahnah a hoe coeng dongah a hui neh a manuca taengah laisuk boel saeh.
This is the manner of remission: Every creditor shall cancel what he has loaned to his neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.
3 Kholong loh nang a khueh te tah suk mai. Tedae na manuca kah te tah namah kut loh hmil saeh.
You may collect something from a foreigner, but you must forgive whatever your brother owes you.
4 Tedae BOEIPA loh nang kah te diklai ah a uem rhoe a uem vetih na khuiah khodaeng om mahpawh. Te te na Pathen BOEIPA loh rho la pang sak ham namah taengah m'paek coeng.
There will be no poor among you, however, because the LORD will surely bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance,
5 BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol he na yaak la na yaak atah tihnin kah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih he vai hamla ngaithuen.
if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.
6 Nang taengah a thui bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek bitni. Te vaengah namtom miping taengah cangpu na hlah vetih cangpu na rhong mahpawh. Namtom miping te na taemrhai thil vetih nang te n'taemrhai uh thil mahpawh.
When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will lend to many nations but borrow from none; you will rule over many nations but be ruled by none.
7 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek na khohmuen, na vongka khat khat khuikah na manuca khat khat te nang taengah khodaeng la a om atah na thin pom thil boeh. Na manuca kah a khodaeng te na kut buem thil boeh.
If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
8 Anih ham te na kut hlam rhoe hlam pah. Anih te a vaitah vaengah a tloelnah carhil tah na pu rhoe na pu ni.
Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.
9 Namah te ngaithuen, na thinko ah a muen ol om ve. Kum rhih dongkah, laiba hlahnah kum yoei coeng,” na ti ve. Na manuca, khodaeng te na mik a lolh lalah anih te na pae pawt ve. Nang te BOEIPA taengah m'pang thil vetih nang soah tholhnah la om ve.
Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
10 Anih te na paek rhoek na paek ni. Na paek vaengah na thinko loh hnaih boel saeh. Te bang ol kong ah ni na bibi boeih neh na kut na thuengnah boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang yoethen m'paek eh.
Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.
11 Na khohmuen khui lamkah khodaeng he paa mahpawh. Te dongah ni kai loh nang kang uen tih, “Na khohmuen kah na mangdaeng puei neh na khodaeng puei na manuca ham tah na kut te na hlam rhoela na hlam ni,” ka ti.
For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land.
12 Nang taengah na manuca Hebrewpa khaw, Hebrewnu khaw ha yoi uh mai ni. Tedae nang taengah kum rhuk a thohtat phoeiah tah a kum rhih vaengah anih te namah taeng lamloh sayalh la hlah laeh.
If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.
13 Anih te namah taeng lamloh na tueih vaengah kuttling la tueih boeh.
And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
14 BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla anih te na boiva, na canghlom, na va-am neh na phaeng rhoe na phaeng vetih na paek ni.
You are to furnish him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress. You shall give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.
15 Egypt kho ah sal la na om vaengah nang aka lat BOEIPA na Pathen te poek lah. Te dongah ni tihnin kah olka he kai loh nang kang uen.
Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving you this command today.
16 Tedae nang n'lungnah tih, “Nang taeng lamloh ka nong mahpawh,” a ti phoeiah na imkhuikho rhangneh anih ham a hoeikhang atah namah taengah om mai saeh.
But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,
17 Te vaengah ciphuem lo lamtah a hna vueh pah. Na thohkhaih khuiah nang ham sal la kumhal ah om bitni. Na salnu ham khaw te tlam te saii pah van.
then take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your servant for life. And treat your maidservant the same way.
18 A kutloh phu rhaepnit neh nang taengah kum rhuk a thohtat coeng dongah namah taeng lamloh sayalh la na hlah vaengah khaw na mikhmuh ah mangkhak sak boeh. Te daengah ni na bi saii boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang te yoethen m'paek eh.
Do not regard it as a hardship to set your servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in all you do.
19 Na saelhung neh boiva dongkah a tal la aka thaang cacuek boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen ham ciim pah. Na vaito cacuek te thohtat sak boeh. Na boiva cacuek mul te khaw vo boeh.
You must set apart to the LORD your God every firstborn male produced by your herds and flocks. You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work, nor are you to shear the firstborn of your flock.
20 BOEIPA loh a coelh ham hmuen, BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah namah neh na imkhui loh kum khat phoeiah kum khat ca uh.
Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.
21 A pum dongah aka khaem tih aka lolhmaih mai khaw mikdael neh aka lolhmaih khat khat a om atah thae aih coeng. BOEIPA na Pathen taengah nawn boeh.
But if an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 A rhalawt akhaw a cuem akhaw na vongka khuiah kirhang bangla, rhangrhaeh bangla rhenten ca.
Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.
23 Tedae a thii te ca boeh. Diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
