Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
A poeyoek kah olthang khuen boeh. Kuthlahnah kah laipai la om ham halang neh na kut hlaengtang boeh.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.
Boethae dongah tah hlangping hnuk khaw om boeh. Kaengyai taengah hlangping neh kaengyai ham tuituknah dongah doo boeh.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
Tattloel long khaw a tuituknah dongah n'hiin boel saeh.
4 If thou meet thy enemy’s ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.
Na thunkha kah vaito khaw, a laak khaw a kho a hmaang te na hmuh atah amah taengla mael rhoe mael puei.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
A taengah na tlo-oeng la na tlo-oeng mai cakhaw na lunguet kah laak te a hnorhih dangah a kol te na hmuh atah anih taengah na tlo-oenng te khaw toeng laeh.
6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man’s judgment.
Na taengkah khodaeng te a tuituknah dongah a laitloeknah phaelh pah boeh.
7 Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
A honghi olka lamloh lakhla lamtah halang he ka tang sak pawt dongah ommongsitoe neh aka dueng khaw ngawn boeh.
8 Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
Kapbaih khaw lo boeh, kapbaih loh miktueng khaw a dael sak tih a dueng ol khaw a paimaelh.
9 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Yinlai khaw nen boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om van dongah yinlai kah hinglu te namah dongah ming puei.
10 Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.
Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah a vueithaih khaw coi.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.
Tedae a kum rhih te hmil lamtah haai sak. Te daengah ni na pilnam khodaeng loh a caak vetih a noi te khohmuen mulhing loh a caak. Na misurdum ham na olive ham khaw te te saii.
12 Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
Hnin rhuk khuiah na bibi te saii lamtah a rhih hnin ah duem dae. Na vaito neh na laak khaw duem vetih na salnu kah a ca neh yinlai khaw a thasai ni.
13 Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
Nangmih taengah a cungkuem la ka thui te ngaithuen uh. Pathen tloe rhoek ming khaw phoei uh boeh, Na ka dongah ya uh boel saeh.
14 Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.
Kum khat ah kai ham khotue voei thum lam uh.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.
Nang kan uen bangla vaidamding khotue te tuem uh lamtah hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca uh. Egypt lamloh na hlah uh vaengkah Abib hla te khoning la om vetih ka mikhmuh ah kuttling la ha phoe boel saeh.
16 And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.
Khohmuen na tawn te na bibi dongkah thaihcuek, cangah khotue neh kum boeih kah khohmuen lamloh na bibi na khoem vaengah cangyom khotue om ni.
17 Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
Na khuikah tongpaca boeih tah kum khat ah voei thum Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuh ah phoe saeh.
18 Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.
Kai kah hmueih thii te tolrhu neh nawn boeh. Ka khotue kah maehtha khaw mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
19 Thou shalt carry the firstfruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
Na khohmuen kah thaihcuek tanglue te na BOEIPA Pathen kah im la khuen. Ma-ae ca te a manu suktui neh thong boeh.
20 Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
Longpuei ah nang aka ngaithuen ham neh ka hmoel hmuen hil nang aka khuen ham na mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih coeng ne.
21 Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.
A mikhmuh ah ngaithuen lamtah a ol te hnatun. Anih te veet boeh, kai ming he a khui ah om coeng tih nangmih kah boekoeknah te duen mahpawh.
22 But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
A ol te na hnatun rhoela na hnatun tih ka thui te boeih na ngai atah na thunkha te ka thunkha nah vetih nang aka daengdaeh te ka dum van ni.
23 And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.
Ka puencawn he nang hmai ah pongpa vetih nang te Amori neh Khitti taengla, Perizzi neh Kanaan taengla, Khivee neh Jebusi taengla n'thak vetih amih te ka thup ni.
24 Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.
Amih kah pathen taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Amih kah khoboe bangla saii boeh. Te rhoek te koengloeng rhoe koengloeng lamtah a kaam te phaek la phaek pah.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengah tho na thueng daengah ni na buh neh na tui khaw a yoethen vetih na khui lamkah tlohtat te kang khoe eh.
26 There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.
Na khohmuen ah thangyah neh caya khaw om pawt vetih na khohnin kah a tarhing te ka cup sak ni.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.
Kai taengkah mueirhih te na hmai ah ka tueih vetih a taengla na thoeng thil pilnam boeih te ka khawkkhek ni. Na thunkha boeih te nang taengah a rhawn ka duen sak.
28 Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.
Nang mikhmuh ah khoingal te ka tueih vetih Khivee, Kanaan neh Khitti te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.
Kum khat nen tah na mikhmuh lamloh anih te ka haek mahpawh. Khohmuen te khopong la om vetih na taengah kohong mulhing pung aih ve.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.
Na pungtai hil na mikhmuh lamloh bet bet ka haek daengah ni khohmuen te na pang eh.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.
Na khorhi te carhaek tuipuei lamloh Philisti tuipuei duela, khosoek lamloh tuiva duela kan suem bitni. Khohmuen kah khosa rhoek te na kut ah kam paek vetih amih te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
32 Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.
Amih taeng neh amih kah pathen taengah paipi saii boeh.
33 Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.
Na khohmuen ah khosa uh boel saeh, kai taengah na tholh ve. A pathen taengah tho na thueng atah na taengah hlaeh la poeh van ni.
