1 Sinai mon dawk, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Isarel miphunnaw koe patuen bout na dei pouh hane teh,
And the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 Kai ni na poe e ram dawk na pha awh toteh, Hote ram ni BAWIPA hanlah sabbath ayâ han.
Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.
3 Kum taruk touh thung law hoi misur takha na sak awh vaiteh, apawhik na pâkhueng awh han.
For six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;
4 Kum sarinae kum teh BAWIPA hanlah sabbath kum, ram thung kaawm e pueng kâhat vaiteh, sabbath yanae kum lah ao. Law na sak mahoeh. Misur takha hai na rasoun mahoeh.
But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.
5 Law dawk ama pouk kapâw e apawhik hai na khi mahoeh. Na rasoun hoeh e misur hai na khi mahoeh. Ram pueng kâhatnae kum lah ao.
That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.
6 Ram thung sabbath kum nah ka tâcawt e apawhik pueng teh namamouh, napui hoi tongpa, na thaw ka tawk e hoi, nang koe kaawm e imyinnaw hoi,
And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;
7 ram thung kaawm e saring pueng ni ca hane kawi lah ao han.
And for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.
8 Sabbath kum, kum sari touh na parei vaiteh, kum sari vai sari touh tie kum 49 akuep hnukkhu,
And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;
9 Tha sari, hnin 10, yonthanae hnin dawk mongka hah ram pueng dawk ueng sak han.
Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land.
10 Aruipanganae kum hah thoung sak vaiteh, ram pueng dawk khoca pueng koe hloutnae pathang han. Jubili kum lah ao dawkvah tami pueng amae talai, amae phun koe a ban han.
And let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his heritage and to his family.
11 Hote aruipanganae kum teh Jubili kum lah ao dawkvah law na sak mahoeh. ama pouk kapâw e hai na a mahoeh. Rasoun hoeh e misur takha dawk e a paw hai na khi awh mahoeh.
Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.
12 Jubili kum teh kathounge kum lah ao dawkvah law dawk e apawhik dueng ca han.
For it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural increase of the field.
13 Jubili kum nateh tami pueng ni amae khoram lah a ban awh han.
In this year of Jubilee, let every man go back to his heritage.
14 Nangmouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh yorannae na sak pawiteh buet touh hoi buet touh kâyue awh hanh.
And in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another.
15 Jubili kum aloum teh a ngai rae kumnaw apawhik a paw nahan a kum parei vaiteh yorannae na sak han.
Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.
16 Hottelah, a paw paw na kum parei hoi yo e lah ao dawkvah, kum ayoun apap e patetlah aphu payoun, paluen lahoi yoran han.
If the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain number of years which the man is giving you.
17 Nangmouh teh buet touh hoi buet touh kâyue awh hanh. Na Cathut taket awh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o.
And do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for I am the Lord your God.
18 Nangmouh ni ka phunglam hah na tarawi pawiteh hote ram dawk lungmawng lahoi kho na sak awh han.
So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.
19 Talai ni hai apawhik a tâco sak vaiteh, kaboumlah na ca awh vaiteh, lungmawng lah kho na sak awh han.
And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.
20 Nangmouh ni hai asari kum nah, kaimouh ni bangtelamaw ka ca awh han. Law ka sak awh hoeh. Apawhik hai ka pâkhueng awh hoeh na tet awh pawiteh,
And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase
21 A kum taruk nah, nangmouh yawhawinae na poe vaiteh, hote kum dawk kum thum touh hane apawhik ka tâco sak han.
Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.
22 nangmouh ni a kum taroe nah law na sak teh a kum tako nah apawhik pâkhuengnae totouh a karuem e apawhik na ca awh han.
And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.
23 Talai hah ayâ pou tawn sak hanelah, yawt hanh. Talai teh Kaie doeh. Nangmouh teh Kai koe kârayen e imyin lah na o awh.
No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.
24 Nangmouh ni talai na tawn a e hmuen pueng bout ratangnae kâ na poe awh han.
Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.
25 Na hmaunawnghanaw ni roedeng boilah a tawn e talai yawt pawiteh, kahnai e hmaunawngha ni a yo e talai hah bout ratangnae kâ ao han.
If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.
26 Hote talai hah ka ratang hane buet touh hai awm hoehpawiteh, ka tawn karuem ni ama ni bout ratang thai pawiteh,
And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;
27 A yonae kum hah a touk vaiteh, aphu yit touh bout poe naseh. Hote talai teh bout a coe han.
Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.
28 Bout poe thai hoehpawiteh, a yo e hno hah Jubili kum totouh ka ran e kut dawk ao sak han. Jubili kum nah tha pawiteh, hmaloe e katawnkung e kut dawk bout a pha han.
But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.
29 Khopui dawk e im hah imkung ni yawt pawiteh, kum touh thung ratang thainae kâ ao sak han.
And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.
30 Kum touh thung ratang thai hoehpawiteh, hote im ka ran e catounnaw ni pou a tawn han. Jubili kum ka phat nakunghai tha pouh mahoeh toe.
And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.
31 Rapan ka tawn hoeh e kho dawk kaawm e im hah law patetlah a pouk vaiteh, ratang thainae kâ ao. Jubili kum pha toteh a tha pouh han.
But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.
32 Hat navah, Levihnaw ni a tawn e khopui hoi khopui dawk e imnaw teh nâtuek hai thoseh, ratang thainae kâ ao.
But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.
33 Levih ni a tawn e im hoi kho thoseh, ayâ ni ran pawiteh, Jubili kum a pha toteh a tha han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel miphun dawk Levihnaw teh ama onae kho hoi im hloilah alouke hno tawn hoeh.
And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.
34 Hateiteh, Levih kho dawk kaawm e imlawnaw yawt mahoeh. Pou a tawn awh han.
But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.
35 Nange na hmaunawngha ni a roedeng lawi, imyin patetlah tho pawiteh, nang koe o sak hanlah na kabawp han.
And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.
36 Ahni koe apung na cat mahoeh. Na hmaunawngha hah, nang koe o sak hanelah, na Cathut taket loe.
Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.
37 Apung ngaihawi lahoi ahni koe tangka thoseh, canei thoseh na cawi mahoeh.
Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.
38 Kai ni Kanaan ram na poe awh teh, nangmae Cathut lah ka o nahanlah nangmouh Izip ram hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.
39 Na hmaunawngha ni a roedeng dawkvah nang koe kâyawt pawiteh, san patetlah na hno mahoeh.
And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;
40 Ahni teh hlai e patetlah thoseh, imyin patetlah thoseh, nang koe ao vaiteh, Jubili kum totouh na thaw a tawk han.
But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;
41 Hat navah, ahni teh a canaw hoi a tâco vaiteh amae a hmaunawngha, a mintoenaw e talai koe lah bout a ban han.
Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.
42 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai e ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao dawkvah san lah o hanelah na yawt mahoeh.
For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.
43 Ahni teh puenghoi na rektap mahoeh. Na Cathut hah taket.
Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.
44 Nang ni na tawn hane sannu sanpa teh na tengpam kaawm e Jentelnaw koe na ran han.
But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.
45 Hothloilah, nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouk ram e taminaw thoseh, na ram dawk a khe e a canaw thoseh, na ran vaiteh na tawn han.
And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.
46 Ahnimanaw teh san dawk hoi ka khe e lah ao teh, nang hoi na canaw ni râw lah na tawn han. Na hmaunawngha, Isarel miphun dawk e tho pawiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh puenghoi na rektap mahoeh.
And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.
47 Nangmouh koe kho ka sak e alouke tami ni a tawnta ei teh, ahnie teng kho ka sak e na hmaunawngha a roedeng teh, nang koe kho ka sak e alouke ram e taminaw koe thoseh, a ca catounnaw koehai thoseh, kâyawt awh pawiteh,
And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;
48 Yo hnukkhu, bout ratang thainae kâ ao han. A hmaunawngha lah kaawm e buetbuet touh ni a ratang han.
After he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of his brothers,
49 A na hma, a panga, a hmaunawngha koehoi rei ka tâcawt e imthung buetbuet touh ni a ratang han. Ama ni ratang thai pawiteh a ratang han.
Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.
50 Bawi hoi sannaw teh yorannae kum dawk hoi kamtawng vaiteh, Jubili kum totouh kum a parei hnukkhu, a kum ayoun apap e patetlah thoseh, a hlainae tueng khet lahoi thoseh, aphu teh to han.
And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.
51 Jubili kum a pha hoehnahlan a thawtawknae kum ayoun apap e parei vaiteh,
If there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of the price which was given for him.
52 A ngai rae a kumtha ayoun apap e patetlah ratang nahane aphu hah rannae phu dawk hoi rayu vaiteh bout a pâban han.
And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.
53 Ahni teh kum touh hnukkhu, kum touh hlai e patetlah ao han. Na hmaitung vah rektap lah awm hanh naseh.
And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.
54 Hottelah hoi ratang thai hoehpawiteh, Jubili kum a pha toteh, ahni teh a canaw hoi bawi e kut dawk hoi a hlout han.
And if he is not made free in this way, he will go out in the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
55 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw teh ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao awh. Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai e ka thaw ka tawk e lah ao awh. Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
