Sunglatnah 23
1 A poeyoek kah olthang khuen boeh. Kuthlahnah kah laipai la om ham halang neh na kut hlaengtang boeh.
Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
2 Boethae dongah tah hlangping hnuk khaw om boeh. Kaengyai taengah hlangping neh kaengyai ham tuituknah dongah doo boeh.
Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
3 Tattloel long khaw a tuituknah dongah n'hiin boel saeh.
But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
4 Na thunkha kah vaito khaw, a laak khaw a kho a hmaang te na hmuh atah amah taengla mael rhoe mael puei.
If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.
5 A taengahna tlo-oeng la na tlo-oeng mai cakhaw na lunguet kah laakte a hnorhih dangaha kol te na hmuh atah anih taengahna tlo-oenng te khaw toeng laeh.
If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
6 Na taengkah khodaengte a tuituknah dongaha laitloeknah phaelh pah boeh.
Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.
7 A honghi olka lamloh lakhla lamtah halang he ka tang sak pawt dongah ommongsitoe neh aka dueng khaw ngawn boeh.
Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
8 Kapbaih khaw lo boeh, kapbaih loh miktueng khaw a dael sak tiha dueng ol khaw a paimaelh.
Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.
9 Yinlai khaw nen boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om van dongah yinlai kah hinglu te namah dongah ming puei.
Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.
10 Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah a vueithaih khaw coi.
For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;
11 Tedae a kum rhihte hmil lamtah haai sak. Te daengah ni na pilnam khodaengloh a caak vetih a noite khohmuen mulhingloh a caak. Na misurdum ham na olive ham khaw tete saii.
But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.
12 Hnin rhuk khuiah na bibite saii lamtaha rhih hnin ah duem dae. Na vaito neh na laak khaw duem vetih na salnu kah a ca neh yinlai khaw a thasai ni.
For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.
13 Nangmih taengaha cungkuem la ka thui te ngaithuen uh. Pathen tloerhoek ming khaw phoei uh boeh, Na ka dongah ya uh boel saeh.
Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.
14 Kum khat ah kai ham khotue voei thum lam uh.
Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.
15 Nang kan uen bangla vaidamding khotue te tuem uh lamtah hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca uh. Egypt lamlohna hlah uh vaengkah Abib hlate khoning la om vetih ka mikhmuhah kuttling la ha phoe boel saeh.
You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:
16 Khohmuenna tawn te na bibi dongkah thaihcuek, cangah khotue neh kum boeih kah khohmuen lamloh na bibi na khoem vaengah cangyom khotue om ni.
And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.
17 Na khuikah tongpaca boeih tah kum khat ah voei thum Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuh ah phoe saeh.
Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
18 Kai kah hmueih thiite tolrhu neh nawn boeh. Ka khotue kah maehtha khaw mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning.
19 Na khohmuen kah thaihcuek tangluete na BOEIPA Pathen kah im la khuen. Ma-ae cate a manu suktui neh thong boeh.
The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
20 Longpuei ah nang aka ngaithuen ham neh ka hmoel hmuen hil nang aka khuen ham na mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih coeng ne.
See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.
21 A mikhmuh ah ngaithuen lamtah a ol te hnatun. Anih te veet boeh, kai ming he a khui ah om coeng tih nangmih kah boekoeknah te duen mahpawh.
Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.
22 A ol tena hnatun rhoela na hnatun tih ka thui te boeihna ngai atah na thunkha te ka thunkhanah vetih nang aka daengdaeh te ka dum van ni.
But if you truly give ear to his voice, and do whatever I say, then I will be against those who are against you, fighting those who are fighting you.
23 Ka puencawn he nang hmai ah pongpa vetih nangte Amori neh Khitti taengla, Perizzi neh Kanaan taengla, Khivee neh Jebusi taengla n'thak vetih amih te ka thup ni.
And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.
24 Amih kah pathen taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Amih kah khoboe bangla saii boeh. Te rhoek te koengloeng rhoe koengloeng lamtah a kaamte phaek la phaek pah.
Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.
25 BOEIPA na Pathen taengah tho na thueng daengah ni na buh neh na tui khaw a yoethen vetih na khui lamkah tlohtat te kang khoe eh.
And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.
26 Na khohmuen ah thangyah neh caya khaw om pawt vetih na khohnin kah a tarhing te ka cup sak ni.
All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.
27 Kai taengkah mueirhih te na hmai ah ka tueih vetih a taengla na thoeng thil pilnam boeih te ka khawkkhek ni. Na thunkha boeih te nang taengaha rhawn ka duen sak.
I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.
28 Nang mikhmuh ah khoingal te ka tueih vetih Khivee, Kanaan neh Khitti te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.
29 Kum khat nen tah na mikhmuh lamloh anih te ka haek mahpawh. Khohmuente khopong la om vetih na taengah kohong mulhing pung aih ve.
I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
30 Na pungtai hil na mikhmuh lamloh bet bet ka haek daengah ni khohmuen tena pang eh.
Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.
31 Na khorhi te carhaek tuipuei lamloh Philisti tuipuei duela, khosoek lamloh tuiva duela kan suem bitni. Khohmuen kah khosarhoek te na kut ah kam paek vetih amihte na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.
32 Amih taeng neh amih kah pathen taengah paipi saii boeh.
Make no agreement with them or with their gods.
33 Na khohmuen ah khosa uh boel saeh, kai taengah na tholh ve. A pathen taengah tho na thueng atah na taengah hlaeh la poeh van ni.
Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
