< Exodus 23 >

1 “You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
Nangman jouthu na sei thei lou ding, muda jeh'a thet umtah hettohsah'a napan thei lou ding ahiye.
2 You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
Chule thilse bolding'a mihem chele hojong najui a najop lou hel ding, mipi nung najui louva amaho khat le khat kikah'a them achan theina diuva jong hettohsah'a napan lou ding ahiye.”
3 And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
Vaichaho thukitanna jeng ajong pan nalah lou hel ding, sih neina lang neina jeng jong nabol lou ding ahi.
4 If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
Chule na melma khat sangan ahi loule bongchal vah mang jong nadon peh lou ding, hiche gancha chu ama heng'a nahin le kailut peh joh ding ahi.
5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
Nangma doumah bolpa sangan in apot apoh lal tah'a aopkhum ma ahile hichu, na dalhah jeng lou ding, sangan akitho doh theina ding'a na panhu teitei ding ahi joi.
6 You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
Vaicha thutanna'a adinmunanna konna achanding dolla thudih chu napam paipeh lou hel ding ahi.
7 Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
Jouthu phot'a kinilna le kihehtona chu najam san jeng ding, themmona beija mihem chu natha lou ding, ajeh chu keiman kahenai agiloupa chu them kachan sah him him lou ding ahiye.
8 Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
Nehguh chahguh jong nakilah thei lou ding, ajeh chu nehguh kitihi vaihomma pangpan amit asel mang jin chule adih'a pangte chu akhup athal'a alekhup jeng ahi.
9 Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Kholjin mijong na suhgim lou ding, ajeh chu kholjin mihon ichanna lunggel nei uvem ti na hetauve, amaho bang chu nanngho jong Egypt gamma khol jin mi'a nanaum'u ahiye.
10 For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,
Kum gup sung'a phatah'a na gam sung'a ann-ga natu ding, muchi gasoh na kilokhom ding ahi.
11 but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
Kum sagi alhin teng hiche kum sung'a chu nagamsung nakicholdo sahding hiche nangma miten avaicha ho chun aneh diu, louna tong lou beh'a naki chol damsah thei ding, amahon aneh joulou aneh moh chengseo vang chu gamsa hon aneh diuva ahitai. Hiche bang bang'a chu lengpi leilai le Olive chu nabol cheh cheh diu ahi.
12 For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
Nigup sung'a hi natoh ding chan natoh ding, chule ni sagi lhinni vang le nasangan jeng jong na choldam sah ding, na bongchal ahin sangan jeng jong choldo thei ding, na sohnu chapa ahin na jin ho jong ki chol do thei diu ahi.
13 Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.
Naheng uva kasei doh hi nanit jeng jing diu, chule hichengse hi nakam sung uva jong napotdoh sah lou hel diu ahi.
14 Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
Kumkhat sung'a keima dinga kut thumvei chan nabol ding ahi.
15 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
Chol solou chang-lhah kut, keiman phat katepeh dung juiya hi ding, Abib lhasung hichu cholsolou changlhah ni sagi sung sea naneh ding hiche lhasung'a hi Egypt gamsung'a kon'a na hung doh na lha ahiye. Hijeh achu khat cha jong keima angsung'a khut goh keuva hung sung lha thei lou ding ahi.
16 You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
Loulaija na lhosoh ga amasapen penchu nangman lholhun kut'a ding'a na kat doh jeng ding, hi tabang ma chu lou lai pumpia na lhosoh ga nahin chop khom teng jong le kut nabol ding ahi.”
17 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
Kum khat sung'a namite holah'a pasal'a kai lhah kiti phot chu Pakai Pathen keima ansung'a thumvei hung ki lah cheh diu ahi.”
18 You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
Keima angsung'a kilhaina gancha kithat chu cholsosa changlhah jaona nahin totha thei lou ding, kaheng'a kilhaina sathao jeng jong khovah geija nakoi den lou ding ahi.
19 Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Na leiset ga soh lah'a gamasa pen pen chu na Pakai na Pathen heng'a na hin poh lut masat pen ding, kelngoi sakithat jeng jong chu api noitwi mangcha'a nahon lou ding ahi.
20 Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
Ven! Na chena channa nangma na ventup ding le na lhon pijing ding'in namasang lama vantil khat ka sol peh in ahi.”
21 Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.
Vantil khu jabol'in lang, athu napal keh thei louding, ama doumah thei himhim nabol lou ding ahiye, ajeh chu aman nasuhkhel channu ngaidam intin, ajeh chu amasung'a khu keima min um jeng'a ahi.
22 But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
Aman aseichan lunglut tah'a nangai jing ding, keiman kasei chan nabol'a ahile, namel mate dia melma'a kapan ding, nadoute ding'a adouva pang ding kahi, ati.
23 For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
Ka Vantil chu namasang lama lamkai jing ding, Amor mite, Hit mite, Periz mite, Canaan mite, Hivi mite, chule Jebus mite jouse abonchaova nahin pui teng leh keima tah in abonchauva ka suhmang hel jeng ding ahi, ati.
24 You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
Chule mihem in asem thu milim doi pathen ho masang kitia naboh khup lou ding, hicheho ding'a jong chu na kisahlal louhel ding, anatoh bang bang uva jong ima natoh thei lou ding aboncha na phuhlhuh ding, a songkhom tincheng jong na lekhup jeng ding ahiye.
25 So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
Na boncha uva na Pakai Na Pathen nahou uva ama kin jeng na bol diu ahi.” Na boncha uva na Pakai na Pathen kin jeng a na kisah lel diu, amatah in na changlhah neh diu le na twidon ding jing ujong phatthei aboh ding, chu teng keiman na jalah uva konna phatthei nasa tah ka hin boh ding ahi, ati.”
26 No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
Nangma gamsung achu koima aching kal val jong um thei lou ding, ama vang nangma hinkho chu ka suh bukim sel joh ding ahi.
27 I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
Na masang tinna mihem ten aki chat thei chan ka ma sol peh ding, kidoupi ding'a nahin tupchan lungsung kasuh mol peh jing ding, chuteng nangma nahin doute jamcheh diu nangma nung lam jeng'a bou khodah diu ahi.
28 I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
Na masang'a khoi-ngel te kalha masat peh ding, Hivi mite, Canaan mite, Hit mie abonchauva khoingel ten a delmang hel diu ahi.
29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
Na masang'a vang amahochu kumkhat sung'a kadel cheh lou ding ahi, ajeh chu gamsung ahomkeu va aum khah le gamsa hungpung lha jeng ding gamsa ten nagma nahin dou khah diuva ahi.
30 Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.
Nangma na hung pun be jing ding, chuteng amaho khu aloiloija ka del cheh ding ahiuve, ati.
31 And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
Na gam gi chu twisan dung len aki pat Palistinete twikhanglen chan hop'a ka kaipeh ding, gamang lah akipat Euphrates vadung channa kakai peh ding nahiye, ajeh chu hiche gamsung ana lo jouse keiman nangho khut a kapeh doh ding, amaho chu nangman jong nadelcheh jeng diu ahiye, ati.
32 You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
Amite jouse lah hihen a semthu uva pathen hijong le kitepna neocha jong nanei theilou ding ahi.
33 They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Amaho jouse khu khat jeng cha jong na gamsung'a cheng thei loudiu ahi, ahinlah amaho pathen lim sem thuho kin nabol khah ngai ngaiya ahile vang, hichea chu nasatah'a nangma na kipel lhuh ding ahi, ati.
