Deuteronomy 16
1 “[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
Pakai, na Pathen uva dinga kumseh le kut nabol diu ahi. Hichu Abib lhamasa hiding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche lhasunga hi Pakaiyin Egypt gam'a kona jan muthim noiya nahin puidoh-u ahi.
2 [In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
Hiche kut ading chun nagan chateu lah a kon katdoh ding chengse chu Pakai, Pathen in adeilhenna houmun a chu nahin choi diu, hiche mun chu Pathen loupina ding ahi.
3 [When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
Hichu cholsolou changlhah toh aneh tha diu ahi. Nisagi sunga cholsolou changlhah jeng naneh diu ahi, ajeh chu Egypt gam'a kona kinotah a nahungnau avetsah ahi. Hiche changlhah hi neuvin suhgim vetsahna changlhah ahin, chutileh nadam lai sung seuva Egypt gam'a kona nahung potdoh nau na geldoh jing diu ahi.
4 [During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
Hiche nisagi sunga hin koiman cholsosa a-in muna koihih hen. Kut adia kelngoi natha tenguleh, hiche sa chu koiman jingkah khovah geiyin koihih hen.
5 “To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
Hiche kut hi khopi tinchenga nabol thei lou diu ahi.
Pakai, Pathen in adeilhenna mun a bou chu nabol diu ahi, ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen uvin amin choiatna dinga alhen ahi. Nisa alep lhah tengleh hichu Egypt gam'a nahung potdoh nau vetsahna nabol diu ahi.
7 Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
Sachu nakisem diu Pakaiyin alhenna muna chu naneh diu ahi. Chule jingkah lam leh na ponbuh mun cheh uva nakile thei diu ahitai.
8 Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
Hinlah aban nigup sunga chu cholsolou changlhah jeng naneh diu ahi. Anisagi lhin ni chu Pakai, Pathen adia nikho thenga nanit sohkei diu, koiman na atoh thei lou ding ahi.
9 “[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
Lousohga nakhop tup nikho uva pat hapta sagi nasim diu ahi.
10 Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
Chujou tengleh Pakai, na Pathen uva dinga kal chuh kut golvah nabol diu ahi. Pakaiya kona phatthei nachanna hou ijakai nahin choisoh kei diu ahi.
11 [Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
Chuteng Pakai, na Pathen uvin houmun adei lhenna muna chu na hinchoi diu golvah nabol diu, hiche muna chu Pathen min choiat a um ding ahi. Na khopi sung uva nachanuteu leh na chapateu chule Levi mite ahin, chagate, kholjin miho chule meithai ho jaona a golvah nabol khom diu ahi.
12 [“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
Ajeh chu nangho jong Egypt gam'a soh-changa hinkho mang na hiuve ti nageldoh jing diu, thupeh hi chengse hi najui diu ahi.
13 “[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
Lhosohga, lengpiga ijakai nakhop tup tenguleh nisagi sunga lholhun kut naman teidiu ahi.
14 [Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
Hiche golvah loupi hi nachanuteu leh nachapateu, nasoh tehou, Levi mite, chaga ho, kholjin mi chule meithai ho jaona nabol diu ahi.
15 Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
Hiche golvah hi nisagi sunga Pakaiyin alhenna muna chu nabol diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiya kona phatthei nachannau gasoh chu ahin, hiche kut hi mijouse adia kipana hi ding ahi.
16 “So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
Kumseh leh Israel miten hiche kut thum hohi aman jing diu ahi: Mon mang theilou chang lhah kut, lholhun kut chule khoptup kut ahi. Hiche ahung lhun tengleh pasal a kailha kitiphot Pakai, Pathen angsunga kilah ding, koimachan khut goh keuva Pakai angsung anai lut thei lou ding ahi.
17 in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
Mijousen ajokham khama phattheina chu Pakai henga ahin lhut cheh diu ahi.
18 “Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
Pakaiyin napeh nau khopi jousea thutan vaihoma pang ding nakoisoh kei diu ahi. Amaho chun miho chunga chamdela thu atan diu ahi.
19 They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
Koima chunga langnei sihneiya thil ima nabol lou diu ahi. Aching athem hihen, khomu louva hijongleh Pakai mit mua chamdela thu natan diu ahi.
20 You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
Adih a kivaihopna chu umjing hen, chutileh Pakai, na Pathen uvin napeh nau gamsunga lungmonga nachen diu ahi.
21 “When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
Asherah thing mangcha a pathen lim nasemthu louhel diu ahi.
22 And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
Chule aguh a hou dinga khom ima naphu thei lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen adia hitobang chu thet umtah ahi.
