Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.
Nang ni laithoe e kamthang hah patuen na pathang mahoeh, na dei mahoeh. Tamikalanhoehnaw hoi lungkânging teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na awm mahoeh.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert [judgment].
Tamikathoutnaw e hnukkâbang mahoeh. Lawkceng navah tami kalen kambawng laihoi lamthung phensak hanlah na dei mahoeh.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
Mathoe koehai kapeknae na tawn mahoeh.
4 — If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.
Na taran e marang maito lam ka hmang e na hmawt pawiteh bout na thak pouh awh han.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving [it] to him: thou shalt certainly loosen [it] with him.
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.
6 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
Mathoe ni nang na oun nah kahawi hoeh lah ahni lawk na ceng mahoeh.
7 Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.
Kahmanhoeh e hno na roun han. Yon ka tawn hoeh e tamikalan hah na thet mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamikathout teh kai ni ka ngaithoum mahoeh.
8 And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Nang ni tadawngnae na cat mahoeh. Tadawngnae ni tami lungkaangnaw hah mit a dawn sak teh tami kalannaw lawk a phen sak.
9 And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ram alouke imyin hah rektap awh hanh. Nangmouh teh Izip ram dawk imyin lah ouk na o awh toung dawkvah, imyin ni a tawn e lungthin hah na panue awh.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;
Kum taruk touh thung laikawk na tawk vaiteh cakang na pâtung awh han.
11 but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie [fallow], that the poor of thy people may eat [of it]; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.
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.
12 — Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
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.
13 And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods — it shall not be heard in thy mouth.
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.
14 Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.
Kum touh dawk vai thum touh kai hanlah pawi na sak awh han.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty; )
Tonphuenhoehe vaiyei pawi na sak awh han. Kâ na poe tangcoung e patetlah hnin sari touh thung tonphuenhoehe na ca awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote thapa dawk nangmouh teh Izip ram hoi na tâco awh. Hote pawi na sak awh navah apihai kai koe a kuthrawng hoi tho hanh naseh.
16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
Laikawk tawk teh cang a han nah, cang takhawknae thoseh, cakang koung kuem hoi kum abaw nah, cavanca pawi thoseh na sak awh han.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.
Nangmouh thung dawk tongpa pueng teh kum touh dawk vai thum touh Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah minhmai na patue awh han.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
Kai e sathei e thi hah ton phuen e vaiyei kalawt laihoi na poe mahoeh. Kai e sathei e athaw hai amom totouh na tat awh mahoeh.
19 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Na law dawk e a pawhik kahawi poung e aluepaw hah na BAWIPA Cathut e im dawk na thokhai awh han. Hmaeca hah a manu e sanutui hoi na thawng mahoeh.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.
Khenhaw! lam vah nang na ring vaiteh, ka rakueng e hmuen koe hrawi hanelah na hmalah kalvantami ka patoun han.
21 Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for my name is in him.
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.
22 But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
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.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
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.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their deeds; but thou shalt utterly destroy them, and utterly shatter their statues.
Ahnimae cathut hah na bawk awh mahoeh. Ahnimae bawknae patet lahai na sak awh mahoeh. Koung na raphoe awh vaiteh kutsak cathutnaw hai phetrasei lah na dei pouh han.
25 And ye shall serve Jehovah your God; and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from thy midst.
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.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days will I fulfil.
Na ram dawk camo ronae hoi carôenae awm mahoeh. Na hringyung ka vang sak han.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and confound every people to which thou comest, and will make all thine enemies turn their back to thee.
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.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Khoingannaw hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, Hitnaw, Kanaannaw, Hivnaw hah na hmalah a pâlei han.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year: lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
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.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou art fruitful, and possess the land.
Nang ni na pungdaw teh ram dawk na kawi hoehnahlan pueng, ahnimouh teh payai lahoi ka pâlei han.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the river; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, that thou mayest dispossess them from before thee.
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.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Ahnimouh hoi thoseh, ahnimae cathutnaw hoi thoseh, kâhuikonae na sak awh mahoeh.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it is sure to be a snare unto thee.
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.
