< Exodus 23 >
1 You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Amsawnlok to haeh hmah; katoeng ai kami hoi amyok hmah loe, amsawn lok hnukung ah angdoe hmah.
2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Kasae hmuen sak hanah minawk hnuk ah bang hmah; lokcaekhaih hmuen ah nang doet naah, toenghaih amkhraeng taak hanah kapop kaminawk bang ah angdoe hmah;
3 Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.
lokcaek naah kamtang kami doeh mikhmai khen hmah.
4 If you meet your enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Lam amkhraeng na misa ih maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe laa hrang maw na hnuk nahaeloe, angmah khaeah thaak pae let ah.
5 If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.
Nang hnuma kami ih laa hrang to hmuen kazit mah taeh caeng nahaeloe, caehtaak hmah, anih to abom ah.
6 You shall not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause.
Kamtang nangmah ih kami to lok na caek naah, amsoem ai ah lokcaek hmah.
7 Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Katoeng ai hmuen to ayae oh; kaom duem kami hoi zaehaih tawn ai kami to hum hmah; zaehaih sah kasae kami loe ka prawt sut mak ai.
8 And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
Bokhaih ah paek ih tangqum to talawk hmah; bokhaih mah palungha kami ih mik to maengsak moe, katoeng kami ih lok to angkawnsak.
9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Angvin to pacaekthlaek hmah; nangcae doeh Izip prae ah angvin ah na oh o pongah, angvin ih palungthin to na panoek o.
10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
Saning tarukto thung lawk sah oh loe, cang to aat oh;
11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.
toe saning sarihto naah loe lawk sah ai ah, lawk hmuen to anghaksak ah loe, kongsak ah; nangmacae thung ih amtang kaminawk mah caaknaek pakronghaih ah patoh o nasoe loe; nihcae mah caehtaak ih kanghmat to moinawk mah caa o nasoe. To tiah misur takha hoi olive takha doeh sah oh.
12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Ni tarukto thung nangmah ih tok to sah ah loe, ni sarihto naah loe anghak ah; nangmah ih maitaw tae hoi laa hrang doeh anghak ueloe, na imthung ah tapen na tamnanawk hoi angvin doeh anghak o nasoe.
13 And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.
Kang thuih o ih loknawk boih pongah acoe oh; kalah sithawnawk ih ahmin to thui o hmah; na pakha hoi thuih ih lok doeh minawk han thaih o sak hmah.
14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
Saningto naah vai thumto buh raenghaih to sah oh.
15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )
Taeh thuh ai ih buh raenghaih poih to sah oh; (kang paek o ih lok baktih toengah, atue khaeh ih Abib khrah thungah, ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih to sah oh; nangcae loe to khrah naah ni Izip prae thung hoiah na tacawt o; to buh raenghaih poih sak nathung, mi kawbaktih doeh ka hmaa ah bangkrai ah angphong han om ai: )
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
cangrawt tue ih poih loe na lawk thung hoi tacawt kathai tangsuek thingthai qumponawk hoiah sah oh loe, lawksak pacoeng, thingthai qumponawk lakhaih tue ah doeh sah oh.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
Nangcae thung ih nongpa boih saningto naah vai thumto Angraeng hmaa ah angphong oh.
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
Angbawnhaih moi thii hoi taeh thuh ih takaw to nawnto na paek hmah. Angbawnhaih moithawk to akhawnbang khoek to anghmatsak hmah.
19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
Na lawk thung ih hmaloe koek kathai kahoih koek thingthai to na Angraeng Sithaw im ah sin ah; maeh caa to amno ih tahnutui hoiah thong hmah.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Khenah, ka sak ih ahmuen ah kang caeh o haih hanah, loklam ah nangcae khenzawnkung, van kami nangcae hmaa ah ka patoeh.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Anih to khingya ah, a thuih ih lok to tahngai ah; anih to aek hmah; anih thungah Ka hmin oh pongah, anih mah na zaehaih to tahmen mak ai.
22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Toe a lok kahoih ah na tahngaih moe, ka thuih ih loknawk boih na sak nahaeloe, na misanawk to ka misa ah om tih, nangcae pakaa kaminawk to ka pakaa han.
23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Kai ih van kami to nangcae hmaa ah caeh ueloe, nangcae to Amor, Hit, Periz, Kanaan, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae ah na caeh haih tih; nihcae to kam rosak boih han.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
Nihcae ih sithawnawk hmaa ah akuep hmah, bok hmah loe, nihcae ih tok doeh sah hmah; to hmuennawk to phrae ah loe, krangnawk doeh phrae boih ah.
25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.
Nang ih takaw hoi tui to tahamhoihaih ang paek hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw to bok oh; na tak thung ih nathaih doeh kang lak pae ving tih.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
Na prae thungah, caa kamro hoi caa kaak maeto doeh om mak ai; na hing thung khosakhaih ka koepsak han.
27 I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
Kai zithaih nangcae hmaa ah ka patoeh moe, na phak o ih ahmuen kruekah kaom kaminawk to kam rosak han; na misanawk to hnukbang ah kam laemsak boih han.
28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
Hiv, Kanaan hoi Hit kaminawk to haek hanah, nangcae hmaa ah khoilangae to ka patoeh han.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
Saningto thungah to kaminawk to nangcae hmaa hoi ka haek mak ai; to tiah ka sak nahaeloe prae thungah kami angqai krang ueloe, taw ih moinawk to pung o aep moeng tih.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.
Nang pung o moe, prae thung boih na koi o ai karoek to, to kaminawk to zetta, zetta hoiah ni ka haek han.
31 And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.
Na ramri loe tuipui kathim hoiah Philistin tuipui karoek to, praezaek hoiah vapui khoek to ka suek han; to prae thungah kaom kaminawk to na ban ah kang paek han, nangmacae hmaa hoiah nihcae to na haek o tih.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Nihcae hoi maw nihcae ih sithawnawk hoiah maw lokkamhaih to sah hmah.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.
Nihcae mah ka nuiah zaehaih ang sak o sak han ai ah, nihcae to na prae thungah omsak hmah; nihcae ih sithawnawk to na bok nahaeloe, nang han patung ih thaang ah om tih, tiah a naa.
