“You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf of the impious.
2 Tamikathoutnaw e hnukkâbang mahoeh. Lawkceng navah tami kalen kambawng laihoi lamthung phensak hanlah na dei mahoeh.
You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.
3 Mathoe koehai kapeknae na tawn mahoeh.
Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.
4 Na taran e marang maito lam ka hmang e na hmawt pawiteh bout na thak pouh awh han.
If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.
5 Nang na ka hmawt ngai hoeh e tami e la hah a hno ni a ratet e na hmawt pawiteh, na kabawp ngai hoeh hai na kabawp han.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you, fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by without lifting it up with him.

You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.

You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.
8 Nang ni tadawngnae na cat mahoeh. Tadawngnae ni tami lungkaangnaw hah mit a dawn sak teh tami kalannaw lawk a phen sak.
Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.

You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10 Kum taruk touh thung laikawk na tawk vaiteh cakang na pâtung awh han.
For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.
11 A kum sari nah laikawk tawk laipalah na ta han. Hottelah, na sak pawiteh, mathoenaw ni a ca thai awh van han. Kacawie naw hai saringnaw ni a ca awh han. Hot patetvanlah, misur takha, olive takha hai na sak awh han.
But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 Hnin taruk touh thung thaw na tawk awh han. A hnin sari nah na kâhat awh han. Hottelah, na sak pawiteh, na maito hoi lanaw ni kâhatnae tueng a tawn awh han. Na canaw, imyinnaw hai tha a dam awh han.
For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.
13 Ka dei e lawknaw pueng hah pâkuem awh. Alouke cathut min hah dei awh hanh. Na pahni dawk hoi dei e lawk ayâ ni thai hanh naseh.
Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.

Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.

You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,
16 Laikawk tawk teh cang a han nah, cang takhawknae thoseh, cakang koung kuem hoi kum abaw nah, cavanca pawi thoseh na sak awh han.
for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.
17 Nangmouh thung dawk tongpa pueng teh kum touh dawk vai thum touh Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah minhmai na patue awh han.
Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.

You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.
20 Khenhaw! lam vah nang na ring vaiteh, ka rakueng e hmuen koe hrawi hanelah na hmalah kalvantami ka patoun han.
Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.
21 Hote kalvantami hah barinae tawn. A lawk hah ngai pouh. A kâ ek hanh. Kâ na tapoenae hah ahni ni na ngaithoum awh mahoeh. Kai e ka min teh ahni dawk ao.
Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.
22 Nang ni atangcalah a lawk na ngai teh, kaie kâlawk patetlah na sak pawiteh, nange tarannaw hah ka taran van han. Nang kangangnaw hah kai ni ka ngang van han.
But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.
23 Kaie kalvantami ni na hmalah a cei vaiteh Amor tami, Hit tami, Periz tami, Kanaan tami, Hiv tami hoi Jubusitnaw onae hmuen koe na hrawi awh vaiteh, ahnimouh teh koung ka pâlei han.
And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.

You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.
25 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah na bawk awh han. Na vaiyei thoseh, tui thoseh yawhawinae a poe han. Lacik hai nange nathung hoi a takhoe han.
And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.
26 Na ram dawk camo ronae hoi carôenae awm mahoeh. Na hringyung ka vang sak han.
There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.
27 Kai na takinae lungthin hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, na phanae hmuen pueng koe e miphunnaw pueng hah ka raphoe han. Na tarannaw pueng hah hnuklah ka ban sak han.
I will send my terror to run ahead of you, and I will kill all the people to whom you will enter. And I will turn the backs of all your enemies before you,
28 Khoingannaw hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, Hitnaw, Kanaannaw, Hivnaw hah na hmalah a pâlei han.
sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.
29 Hote taminaw kum touh hoi na hmalah lahoi koung ka pâlei mahoeh. Koung ka pâlei pawiteh, ram dawk tami kingdi vaiteh sarang teh nang hanlah kapap han.
I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.
30 Nang ni na pungdaw teh ram dawk na kawi hoehnahlan pueng, ahnimouh teh payai lahoi ka pâlei han.
I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.
31 Na ramri teh tuipui paling tui koehoi Filistin tuipui totouh, thingyeiyawn hoi tuipui totouh kai ni ka khoe han. Hote khocanaw teh na kut dawk na poe vaiteh nang ni na pâlei han.
Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.
32 Ahnimouh hoi thoseh, ahnimae cathutnaw hoi thoseh, kâhuikonae na sak awh mahoeh.
You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.
33 Nang ni kai koe yonnae na sak hanelah, ahnimouh ni a sak han tie puennae ao dawkvah, ahnimouh teh na ram dawk awm awh mahoeh. Nang ni ahnimae cathut hah na bawk pawiteh, kamthuinae katang lah ao han telah Mosi koe atipouh.
They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”
