Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of [every] seven years shalt thou make a release.
Kum rhih a thok vaengah laiba hlahnah na saii ni.
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.
He tah laiba hlahnah olka ni. Boei boeih loh a kut dongkah cangpu te a hui taengah a pu. Tedae BOEIPA kah laiba hlahnah a hoe coeng dongah a hui neh a manuca taengah laisuk boel saeh.
3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [payment]; but that which is thine with thy brother shall thy hand release.
Kholong loh nang a khueh te tah suk mai. Tedae na manuca kah te tah namah kut loh hmil saeh.
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:
Tedae BOEIPA loh nang kah te diklai ah a uem rhoe a uem vetih na khuiah khodaeng om mahpawh. Te te na Pathen BOEIPA loh rho la pang sak ham namah taengah m'paek coeng.
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.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol he na yaak la na yaak atah tihnin kah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih he vai hamla ngaithuen.
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.
Nang taengah a thui bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek bitni. Te vaengah namtom miping taengah cangpu na hlah vetih cangpu na rhong mahpawh. Namtom miping te na taemrhai thil vetih nang te n'taemrhai uh thil mahpawh.
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.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek na khohmuen, na vongka khat khat khuikah na manuca khat khat te nang taengah khodaeng la a om atah na thin pom thil boeh. Na manuca kah a khodaeng te na kut buem thil boeh.
8 But thou shalt open wide thy hand unto him, and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, which his want requireth.
Anih ham te na kut hlam rhoe hlam pah. Anih te a vaitah vaengah a tloelnah carhil tah na pu rhoe na pu ni.
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:
Namah te ngaithuen, na thinko ah a muen ol om ve. Kum rhih dongkah, laiba hlahnah kum yoei coeng,” na ti ve. Na manuca, khodaeng te na mik a lolh lalah anih te na pae pawt ve. Nang te BOEIPA taengah m'pang thil vetih nang soah tholhnah la om ve.
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 te na paek rhoek na paek ni. Na paek vaengah na thinko loh hnaih boel saeh. Te bang ol kong ah ni na bibi boeih neh na kut na thuengnah boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang yoethen m'paek eh.
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.
Na khohmuen khui lamkah khodaeng he paa mahpawh. Te dongah ni kai loh nang kang uen tih, “Na khohmuen kah na mangdaeng puei neh na khodaeng puei na manuca ham tah na kut te na hlam rhoela na hlam ni,” ka ti.
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.
Nang taengah na manuca Hebrewpa khaw, Hebrewnu khaw ha yoi uh mai ni. Tedae nang taengah kum rhuk a thohtat phoeiah tah a kum rhih vaengah anih te namah taeng lamloh sayalh la hlah laeh.
13 And when thou lettest him go out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
Anih te namah taeng lamloh na tueih vaengah kuttling la tueih boeh.
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.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla anih te na boiva, na canghlom, na va-am neh na phaeng rhoe na phaeng vetih na paek ni.
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.
Egypt kho ah sal la na om vaengah nang aka lat BOEIPA na Pathen te poek lah. Te dongah ni tihnin kah olka he kai loh nang kang uen.
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:
Tedae nang n'lungnah tih, “Nang taeng lamloh ka nong mahpawh,” a ti phoeiah na imkhuikho rhangneh anih ham a hoeikhang atah namah taengah om mai saeh.
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.
Te vaengah ciphuem lo lamtah a hna vueh pah. Na thohkhaih khuiah nang ham sal la kumhal ah om bitni. Na salnu ham khaw te tlam te saii pah van.
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.
A kutloh phu rhaepnit neh nang taengah kum rhuk a thohtat coeng dongah namah taeng lamloh sayalh la na hlah vaengah khaw na mikhmuh ah mangkhak sak boeh. Te daengah ni na bi saii boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang te yoethen m'paek eh.
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.
Na saelhung neh boiva dongkah a tal la aka thaang cacuek boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen ham ciim pah. Na vaito cacuek te thohtat sak boeh. Na boiva cacuek mul te khaw vo boeh.
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.
BOEIPA loh a coelh ham hmuen, BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah namah neh na imkhui loh kum khat phoeiah kum khat ca uh.
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.
A pum dongah aka khaem tih aka lolhmaih mai khaw mikdael neh aka lolhmaih khat khat a om atah thae aih coeng. BOEIPA na Pathen taengah nawn boeh.
22 Within thy gates shalt thou eat it, the unclean and the clean together, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
A rhalawt akhaw a cuem akhaw na vongka khuiah kirhang bangla, rhangrhaeh bangla rhenten ca.
23 Only the blood thereof shalt thou not eat: upon the ground shalt thou pour it out as water.
Tedae a thii te ca boeh. Diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
