Kâboutpoenae 15

1 Kum sari touh dawk vai touh laiba hloutnae na sak awh han.

At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.

2 Laiba hloutnae phung hateh, imri hah hno kacawi sak e ni, hote laiba hah a hlout sak han. BAWIPA e hloutnae tueng lah ao dawkvah, hote laiba hah na imri koe, na hmaunawngha koe na het mahoeh.

This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because YHWH's release has been proclaimed.

3 Ramlouk koe teh heinae kâ ao. Na hmaunawngha koe teh het laipalah na hlout sak han.

Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.

4 Nang dawk mathoe ao hoeh nahanelah hottelah na sak han. BAWIPA Cathut ni nama han râw lah na poe e ram dawk nang hah yawhawi moikapap na poe han.

However there shall be no poor with you; (for YHWH will surely bless you in the land which YHWH your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it; )

5 Sahnin kai ni kâ na poe e hete kâpoelawk hah na tarawi nahanelah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah takuetluet thai haw.

if only you diligently listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.

6 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk a kam e patetlah yawhawi na poe vaiteh, nang ni ayânaw hah na cawi sak han. Ahnimouh ni teh nang na cawi sak mahoeh. Nang ni miphunnaw hah na uk han. Ahnimouh ni nang na uk awh mahoeh.

For YHWH your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

7 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe ram dawkvah, na longkha thung ka roedeng e na hmaunawngha reira awm pawiteh, hote ka roedeng e na hmaunawngha koe na lungmouk hanh. Na kut hai kasum hanh.

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which YHWH your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

8 Na kut hah kakaw lah na kadai vaiteh, a roedengnae a kahma totouh na cawi sak han.

but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.

9 A kum sarinae hloutnae kum a pha han a hnai toe. Ka roedeng e hmaunawngha hah utsin laihoi banghai poe hane ngai laipalah, na lungthin dawk kahawi hoeh khopouknae ao hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet awh. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh, ahni ni BAWIPA koe hram vaiteh, nang dawk yon a pha hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet.

Be careful lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand"; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to YHWH against you, and it be sin to you.

10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na onae koe ka roedeng pout mahoeh.

You must surely give to him, and your heart is not to be grieved when you give to him; because for this thing YHWH your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.

11 Hatdawkvah, na onae ram dawk, ka roedeng e hmaunawnghanaw hanelah na kut ka kaw lah na kadai nahanelah lawk na thui.

For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

12 Na hmaunawngha reira, Hebru tami napui tongpa teh, nang koe san lah ao teh, kum taruk touh ao hnukkhu, a kum sarinae dawk teh na hlout sak han.

If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

13 Na hlout sak toteh kuthrawng na hlout sak mahoeh.

When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:

14 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe e patetlah na tuhu thung e thoseh, cang katinnae thung e thoseh, misur na katinnae thung e thoseh moikapap na poe han.

you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress, in proportion as YHWH your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

15 Nang teh, Izip ram vah, san lah ouk na o boi e hai thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni nang hah na hlout sak e hai thoseh na pouk han. Hatdawkvah, hete kâpoelawk hah sahnin kai ni na poe.

You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.

16 Hatei, san niyah, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh. Nang hoi na imthungkhunaw hoi o e a nawm doeh tetpawiteh,

It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you"; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;

17 nang ni phuengvang na la vaiteh, takhang koe a hnâ na kavi pouh vaiteh, ahni teh san lah pou ao han. Hot patetvanlah sannu koehai na sak awh han.

then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.

18 Na san na tha navah, arupoung telah pouk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum taruk touh thung san thaw a tawk teh, aphu hoi hlai e hlak let hni touh hoi thaw a tawk toe. Na BAWIPA Cathut ni hai na tawksak e tangkuem dawk yawhawi na poe han.

It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and YHWH your God will bless you in all that you do.

19 Na maitohu hoi tuhu naw thung dawk, camin atan kaawm e pueng teh, na BAWIPA Cathut hanelah a thoung han. Maito camin, tu camin hah na hno mahoeh.

All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to YHWH your God: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

20 BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe, na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, a kum tangkuem pout laipalah, na imthungnaw hoi rei na ca awh han.

You shall eat it before YHWH your God year by year in the place which YHWH shall choose, you and your household.

21 Hote maito tu naw dawkvah, khokkhem, mit ka dawn, a tak dawk yonnae, alouke toun han kawi lah kaawm e buetbuet touh awm pawiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae na sak mahoeh.

If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to YHWH your God.

22 Na longkha thung na ca han. Sayuk sakhi moi na ca e patetlah kathounge tami, kathounghoehe taminaw ni hai reirei a ca awh han.

You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.

23 Hatei, a thi teh na cat awh mahoeh. Tui rabawk e patetlah talai dawk na rabawk awh han.

Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
