Exodus 23
1 “You must not spread stories that are lies. You must not help bad people by giving evidence that's malicious.
Nang ni laithoe e kamthang hah patuen na pathang mahoeh, na dei mahoeh. Tamikalanhoehnaw hoi lungkânging teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na awm mahoeh.
2 Don't follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give evidence in a lawsuit, don't corrupt justice by siding with the majority.
Tamikathoutnaw e hnukkâbang mahoeh. Lawkceng navah tami kalen kambawng laihoi lamthung phensak hanlah na dei mahoeh.
3 Don't show favoritism to poor people in their legal cases either.
Mathoe koehai kapeknae na tawn mahoeh.
4 If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey that has wandered off, take it back it to him.
Na taran e marang maito lam ka hmang e na hmawt pawiteh bout na thak pouh awh han.
5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you that has fallen under its load, don't just leave it there. You must stop and help.
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 You must not prevent the poor from getting justice in their lawsuits.
Mathoe ni nang na oun nah kahawi hoeh lah ahni lawk na ceng mahoeh.
7 Don't have anything to do with making false accusations. Don't kill the innocent or those who do right, for I won't let the guilty go unpunished.
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 Don't accept bribes, for a bribe blinds those who can see, and undermines the evidence of the honest.
Nang ni tadawngnae na cat mahoeh. Tadawngnae ni tami lungkaangnaw hah mit a dawn sak teh tami kalannaw lawk a phen sak.
9 Don't abuse foreigners living among you, since you know very well what it's like to be foreigners, for you were once foreigners in 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 Six years you are to sow your land and harvest crops,
Kum taruk touh thung laikawk na tawk vaiteh cakang na pâtung awh han.
11 but in the seventh year you are to let it rest and leave it uncultivated, so that poor people may eat what grows naturally from the field and the wild animals can finish what's left. Follow the same procedure for your vineyards and olive groves.
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 You have six days to do your work, but on the seventh day you must stop working, so that your ox and your donkey can rest, and your slaves' families can catch their breath, as well as the foreigners living among you.
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 Make sure to pay attention to everything I've told you. Don't think to call on the names of other gods—you must not even mention them.
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 Three times every year you are to celebrate a feast dedicated to me.
Kum touh dawk vai thum touh kai hanlah pawi na sak awh han.
15 You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread as I instructed you. You are to eat bread without yeast for seven days at the appropriate time in the month of Abib, because that was the month you left Egypt. No one can come before me without bringing an offering.
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 You are also to observe the Festival of Harvest when you present the firstfruits of the produce from what you've sown in the fields. Lastly you are to observe the Festival of Gathering-In the Harvest at the end of the year, when you gather in the harvest of the rest of your crops from 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 Every Israelite male is to come before the Lord God at these three times every year.
Nangmouh thung dawk tongpa pueng teh kum touh dawk vai thum touh Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah minhmai na patue awh han.
18 You must not offer the blood of my sacrifices together with anything that contains yeast, and the fat from the offerings presented at my festival must not be left until 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 Bring the best firstfruits of your crops to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat 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 Look, I'm sending an angel ahead of you to protect you on the way and to take you to the place I've prepared for you.
Khenhaw! lam vah nang na ring vaiteh, ka rakueng e hmuen koe hrawi hanelah na hmalah kalvantami ka patoun han.
21 Make sure you pay attention to him and do what he says. Don't oppose him, because he won't forgive rebellion, for he carries my authority.
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 However, if you listen to him carefully, and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and I will fight those who fight against you.
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 my angel will go ahead of you and take you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
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 You must not bow down to their gods or worship them or follow their pagan practices. No, you must demolish their idols and smash their sacred pillars into pieces.
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 You are to worship the Lord your God, and he will bless your food and water. I will make sure none of you fall sick.
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 No woman will have a miscarriage or be without children. I will make sure you live long lives.
Na ram dawk camo ronae hoi carôenae awm mahoeh. Na hringyung ka vang sak han.
27 I will send terror about me ahead of you which will throw every nation you meet into panic. I will make all your enemies turn and run away.
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 I will send hornets ahead of you to drive out before you the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites.
Khoingannaw hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, Hitnaw, Kanaannaw, Hivnaw hah na hmalah a pâlei han.
29 I will not drive them out in just one year, because the land would become desolate and you would have to deal with increased numbers of wild animals.
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 Bit by bit I will drive them out ahead of you, until there are enough of you to take possession of the land.
Nang ni na pungdaw teh ram dawk na kawi hoehnahlan pueng, ahnimouh teh payai lahoi ka pâlei han.
31 I will fix your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will hand the inhabitants of the land over to you, and you will drive them out.
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 You must not make any agreement with them or with their gods.
Ahnimouh hoi thoseh, ahnimae cathutnaw hoi thoseh, kâhuikonae na sak awh mahoeh.
33 They must not be allowed to stay in your land, otherwise they will lead you to sin against me. For if you worship their gods, they will definitely become a trap for you.”
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.
