You must not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.

If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you must bring 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 someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you must not leave that person. You must surely help him with his donkey.

Never take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see, and perverts honest people's words.

You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

For six years you will sow seed on your land and gather in 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 will leave it unplowed and fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat. What they leave, the wild animals will eat. You will do the same with your vineyards and olive orchards.
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.
During six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must rest. Do this so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and so that your female slave's son and any foreigner may rest and 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.

You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you will eat unleavened bread for seven days. At that time, you will appear before me in the month of Aviv, which is fixed for this purpose. It was in this month that you came out from Egypt. But you must not appear before me empty-handed.
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.

You must bring the choicest firstfruits from your land into my house, the house of Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

I am going to send an angel before you to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.

Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions. My name is on 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.
If you indeed obey his voice and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
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.

You must worship Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and water. I will remove sickness from among you.

No woman will be barren or will miscarry her young in your land. I will give you long lives.

I will send fear of myself on those into whose land you advance. I will kill all the people whom you meet. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in fright.

I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.

I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become abandoned, and the wild animals would become too many for you.

Instead, I will drive them out little by little from before you until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

I will fix your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give you victory over the land's inhabitants. You will drive them out before yourselves.

You must not make a covenant with them or 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 must not live in your land, or they would make you sin against me. If you worship their gods, this will surely become a trap for you.'”
