Deuteronomy 15

1 At the end of [every] seven years shalt thou make a release.

Saning sarihto boeng kruek, laiba tahmen oh.

2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release the loan which he hath lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because the release year in honor of the Lord hath been proclaimed.

Laiba tahmenhaih loklam loe hae tiah sah oh; Angraeng mah laiba tahmenhaih ni, tiah taphong ih atue ah oh pongah, phoisa coi kami mah a imtaeng kami hanah coisak ih phoisa loe azom ah ohsak han oh; a imtaeng kami khaeah maw, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah maw, laiba to suk mak ai boeh.

3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [payment]; but that which is thine with thy brother shall thy hand release.

Prae kalah kaminawk khaeah loe, laiba to na suk o thaih; toe nam nawkamya khaeah loe laiba to azom ah ni om tih boeh;

4 Although indeed there should be no needy man among thee; for the Lord will greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawktoep hanah paek ih prae thungah, paroeai tahamhoihaih na hnuk o pongah, to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, nangcae salakah kamtang kami to om mak ai.

5 Yet only if thou wilt carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.

Vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk hae pazui moe, na sak o hanah, na Angraeng Sithawh ih lok to tahngai oh.

6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he hath spoken unto thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but over thee shall they not rule.

A lokkam ih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih na paek o ueloe, paroeai prae kalah kaminawk to na coi o sak tih; toe nangcae loe mi khaeah doeh na coi o mak ai; kapop parai prae kaminawk to na uk o tih; toe nangcae loe mi mah doeh na uk o mak ai.

7 If there be among thee a needy man, any one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother.

Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah paek ih prae ah kaom, na vangpui thungah kamtang nam nawkamyanawk maeto om nahaeloe, a nuiah palung thahsak hmah loe, nam nawkamya nuiah ban to tamuep o hmah;

8 But thou shalt open wide thy hand unto him, and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, which his want requireth.

a nuiah na ban kuuhoih o sak loe, anih angaihaih baktih toengah, anih angaih zetto azom ah coi o sak ah.

9 Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye be thus evil against thy needy brother, so that thou wouldst give him nought; and if he cry concerning thee unto the Lord, it will be sin in thee:

Hae baktih kasae poekhaih na tawnh o han ai ah acoe oh; saning sarihto boenghaih, laiba tahmenhaih atue loe zoi boeh, tiah na panoek o naah, kamtang kami nam nawkamya nuiah kasae poekhaih na tawnh o moe, anih han tidoeh na paek o ai, to naah anih mah Angraeng Sithaw khaeah na nuiah palung hoih aihaih hoiah lawkthui nahaeloe, na nuiah zaehaih om tih.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; for because of this thing the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all the acquisition of thy hand.

Anih han palung tang hoi paek ah, anih paek hanah hmuen paawthaih to tawn hmah; to tiah na sak nahaeloe na sak ih hmuen nuiah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, na toksakhaih boih ah maw, na ban hoi sui ih hmuennawk boih nuiah maw tahamhoihaih to paek tih.

11 For the needy will not cease out of the land; therefore do I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open wide thy hand unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Amtang kaminawk loe natuek naah doeh prae thung hoiah boeng o mak ai; to pongah na prae thungah kaom, nam nawkamya nui hoi kamtang moe, kavawt kaminawk khaeah na ban kuuhoih o sak ah.

12 If thy brother, the Hebrew, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years; and in the seventh year shalt thou let him go free from thee.

Hebrai kami nongpa maw, to tih ai boeh loe nongpata maw, kami maeto nang khaeah zawh, anih mah na tok to saning tarukto thungah na sah pae boeh nahaeloe, saning sarihto naah loe anih to loisak ah.

13 And when thou lettest him go out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

Anih na loihsak naah, anih to bankrai ah caehsak hmah.

14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flocks, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-press; wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, that shalt thou give unto him.

Anih na loihsak naah, na tawnh ih tuunawk, na hak ih cangnawk hoi na pasawh ih misurtuinawk to koeh zetto paawt ai ah phawsak ah; na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek baktih toengah, anih han doeh paek toeng ah.

15 And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God hath redeemed thee; therefore do I command thee this thing today.

Izip prae thungah misong ah na oh o naah, Angraeng mah ang pahlong o, tito panoek oh; to pongah vaihniah hae loknawk hae kang paek o.

16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee:

Toe na tamna mah nangmah hoi na imthung takohnawk to palung moe, nang khaeah khosak loe hoih, tiah poek pongah, nang khaeah, Tacawt han ka koeh ai, tiah thui nahaeloe,

17 Then shalt thou take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be unto thee a servant for ever; and also unto thy maid-servant shalt thou do likewise.

sum kamsum to la ah loe, thok taengah anih ih naa to taqawt paeh; to pacoengah anih loe a hing thung na tamna ah om tih boeh; tamna nongpata doeh, to tiah sah ah.

18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee, that for double the wages of a hired laborer hath he served thee six years; and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.

Na misong loisakhaih to karai parai hmuen ah poek hmah; saning tarukto thung anih mah nang hanah ang sak pae ih tok loe, kami na tlai moe, saksak ih tok pongah, alet hnetto kamtlai ah hoih kue; to tiah na sak nahaeloe toksakhaih boih ah na Angraeng Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih na paek tih.

19 All the first-born males that come of thy herds and of thy flocks shalt thou sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the first-born of thy bullock, and not shear the first-born of thy sheep.

Tapen tangsuek maitaw hoi tuu caa to na Angraeng Sithaw hanah pahoe ah; tapen tangsuek maitaw caa to laikok atok han patoh hmah; tapen tangsuek tuu to amui aat hmah.

20 Before the Lord thy God shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which the Lord will choose, thou with thy household.

Angraeng mah qoih ih ahmuen ah, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah, nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih, saning kruek maitaw hoi tuu caa moi to caa oh.

21 And if there be any blemish thereon, if it be lame, or blind, or have any [other] ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.

Maitaw hoi tuu loe coek koiah oh; khokkhaem maw, to tih ai boeh loe mikmaeng moe, coek koi om nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih ah paek hmah.

22 Within thy gates shalt thou eat it, the unclean and the clean together, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

Moi to nangmacae khongkha thungah caa oh; kaciim doeh kaciim ai kami doeh, tasuk hoi sakhi moi caak baktih toengah caak thaih.

23 Only the blood thereof shalt thou not eat: upon the ground shalt thou pour it out as water.

Toe athii loe caa o hmah; tui baktiah long ah krai oh.
