< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 “At the end of every seven years, you must (cancel all debts/tell people who owe you money that they do not need to pay it back).
Kum sagi alhinseh leh khat koma sumpa bat a nalah jouseu chu nale sah diu ahi.
2 Do it like this: Each of you who has lent money to a fellow Israeli must cancel that debt. You must not insist that he pay it back. You must do that because Yahweh has declared that the debts must be canceled [every seven years].
Hichu nabol teitei diu ahi. Israel mite lah a hitobanga thil bat a kila jouse chu nakile sahto naphat-u ahi. Koiman asopi aheng akoma thil bat a alah thei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen dinga kilha ongna lhung ahi.
3 [During that year] you may require foreigners [who live among you] to pay what they owe you, but you must not try to require that any fellow Israeli pay you what he owes you.
Hiche bat kilesahto nahi Israel mite insunga ding bou ahin, kholjin miho jao lou ahi.
4 Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that he is giving to you. If you obey Yahweh our God and obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, there will not be any poor people among you.
Koima vaichatah a umlou ding ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen uvin na pehnau gamsunga phat theina hung lhung ding ahi.
5
Tunia keiman kapeh thupeh aboncha nanit kimsoh keiyuva ahileh Pakai, Pathen in phattheina chamkim naboh diu ahi.
6 Yahweh our God will bless you like he has promised to do, and you will [be able to] lend money to people of other people-groups, but you will not [need to] borrow from any of them. You will control [the finances of] many people-groups, but they will not control your [finances].
Chuteng Pakai, na Pathen uvin akitepna banga phatthei naboh teidiu ahi. Nam dangten naheng uva sumpa ahin lah diu chule nanghon vang bat a ima nalah lou diu ahitai. Namdangte chunga vaihoma napan diu, nangho chunga koiman thaneina a vai ahop lou ding ahi.
7 “In the towns that Yahweh our God is giving to you, if there are any Israelis who are poor, do not be selfish [IDM] and refuse [IDM] to help them.
Hinlah Pakai, na Pathen uvin napehnau gam nalhun tenguleh, Israel insunga kona avaicha aum khah leh amachu nadal bol lou hel diu ahi.
8 Instead, be generous [IDM] and lend to them the money that they need.
Hongphal tah a amaho chu achandiu gambeh napeh diu ahi.
9 Be sure that you do not say to yourself, ‘The year when debts will be canceled is near, [so I do not want to lend anyone any money now, because he will not need to pay it back when that year comes].’ It would be evil to even think that. If you act in an unfriendly way toward a needy fellow Israeli, and give him nothing, he will cry out to Yahweh about you, and [Yahweh will say that] you have sinned [by not helping that person].
Bat a thilpeh ding hijongleh itlou hela napeh diu ahi. Ajeh chu khat leh khat bat a kona kilepeh naphat chu nakhut uva umjing ahi. Bat a peh ding nada uva mikhat nachung uva lhisona aneiya ahileh, phat louna chonset achu lhalut nahitauve.
10 Give freely to poor people and give generously [IDM].
Vaichaten angaichat banga hongphal tah a napeh diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen uvin natoh nalam lamuva phatthei naboh diu ahi.
11 If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do. There will always be some poor people in your land, so I command you to give generously to poor [DOU] people.”
Na chennau gamusunga chu vaicha umjing ding ahi. Hiche thupeh hi najui jing diu ahi, ajeh chu Israel mite lah hihen midang lah hileh vaicha a hinkho mang umjing ding ahi.
12 “If any of your fellow Israeli men or women sell themselves to one of you [to become your slave], you must free them after they have worked for you for six years. When the seventh year comes, you must free them.
Hebrew mite lah akona numei hileh pasal hileh soh dinga kiphal aum leh kum gup sunga nangho najen diu, kumsagi ahung lhun tengleh nanghon hiche sohnu ham sohpa ham chu, chamlhatna napeh diu ahi.
13 When you free them, do not allow them to go (empty-handed/without giving them anything).
Soh pasal chu nasol doh tenguleh, khut goh keuva nasol lou diu ahi.
14 Give to them generously from the things with which Yahweh has blessed you—sheep, grain, and wine.
Alhahna dinga gancha honkhat napeh diu, najubel tun nauleh lhongdapna toh napeh tha diu ahi. Nanei nagou lah uva kijepna phabep jong napeh tha diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in ijakai napeh'u ahi.
15 Do not forget that your ancestors were once slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God freed them. That is the reason that I am now commanding you to do this.
Hiche hi nageldoh jing diu ahi. Nangho Egypt gam'a soh in nana um un Pakai, Pathen in na lhatdoh’u ahi! Hijeh a chu keiman hiche thupeh hi nangho kapeh nahiuve.
16 “But one of your slaves may say, ‘I do not want to leave you.’ He loves you and your family, because you have treated him well.
Hinlah soh chun ‘Keiman ka dalhah lou ding nahi’ tia aseiya ahileh, ajeh chu aman nangma leh na insung mite angailut jal ahi.
17 If he says that, take him to the door of your house and, [while he stands against the doorway], pierce one of his earlobes with (an awl/a sharp pointed tool). That will indicate that he will be your slave for the rest of his life. Do the same thing to any female slave [who does not want to leave you].
Hitobang dinmuna kona hi nanghon jong nakotbul uva kona nasoh uchu, nahin lepui diu chuteng hinkho lhumkeiya nahenguva um thei ding ahi.
18 “Do not complain when you are required to free your slaves. [Keep in mind that] they served you for six years, and you paid them only half as much as you pay the servants that you hire. [If you free them, ] Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
Nasoh uchu nasoldoh tenguleh hahsatna a nagel lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu kum gup sunga ajo chana nahin jenu ahitan, Pakai na Pathen uvin phatthei naboh diu ahi.
19 “(Set aside for/Dedicate to) Yahweh our God the firstborn male animals from your cattle and sheep. Do not force them to do any work for you, and do not (shear/cut off) the wool [of the firstborn animals to sell the wool].
Na ganchate lah uva kona apeng masa jouse Pakai, Pathen henga nahin choi diu ahi. Na ganchateu lah a apeng masa kitiphot chu louna natohsah lou diu chule gancha hon lah a nalhatsah lou diu ahi.
20 You and your family may [kill them and] eat their meat in the presence of Yahweh at the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him].
Ajeh chu gancha peng masa jouse hi Pakai, Pathen henga nahin choidiu nangho leh nainsung mi teuvin Pakaiyin alhena muna chu kumseh leh naneh khom diu ahi.
21 But if the animals have any defects, if they are lame or blind, or if they have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
Hinlah hiche gancha pengmasa chu a elbai ham ahilouleh mitcho ahikhah leh nanghon Pakai, na Pathen'u henga na katdoh lou diu ahi.
22 You may [kill and] eat [the meat of those animals] at your homes. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done such things are permitted to eat that meat, just like anyone is permitted to eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Hichu nangho leh nainsung mi teuvin nain mun uva naneh jeng theiyu ahi. Hichu koi hileh aboh hihen aboh lou hijongleh sa juhsa naneh bang uva naneh thei diu ahi.
23 But you must not eat any of the blood; you must drain all the blood on the ground [when you kill those animals].”
Chule sa thisan chu meiya na halvam thei lou diu ahi. Hichu tol lham chunga nasun lhah diu ahi.
