< Deuteronomy 16 >

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, for in the month of Aviv Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh Abib hla ah Egypt Khoyin lamloh nang n'khuen coeng dongah Abib hla te ngaithuen lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen kah Yoom te saii.
2 You will sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God with some of the flock and the herd in the place that Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary.
Te dongah saelhung neh boiva te, BOEIPA loh amah ming phuk thil hamla a coelh hmuen ah, BOEIPA na Pathen kah Yoom la ngawn.
3 You will eat no leavened bread with it; seven days will you eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste. Do this all the days of your life so that you may call to mind the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.
Egypt kho lamloh phacipphabaem neh tokrhat la na nong dongah vaidamding buh te hnin rhih ca lamtah tolrhu caak thil boeh. Te daengah ni Egypt kho lamloh na nong tue te na hing tue khuiah na poek eh.
4 No yeast must be seen among you within all your borders during seven days; nor must any of the meat that you sacrifice in the evening on the first day remain until the morning.
Na taengkah loh hnin rhih tah, na khorhi pum ah tolrhu hmu boel saeh. A cuek khohnin hlaemhmah kah na ngawn maeh te mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek vongka carhui dongah Yoom te na ngawn ham coeng thai mahpawh.
6 Instead, sacrifice at the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary. There you will perform the sacrifice of the Passover in the evening at the going down of the sun, at the time of year that you came out of Egypt.
Egypt lamloh na lo vaengkah khoning bangla, khomik a tlak thuk, hlaemhmah vaengah a ming phuk thil ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh a coelh hmuen ah Yoom te dawk ngawn.
7 You must roast it and eat it at the place that Yahweh your God will choose; in the morning you will turn and go to your tents.
Te phoeiah thong lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ham a coelh hmuen ah ca. Mincang ah mael lamtah namah kah dap la cet.
8 For six days you will eat unleavened bread; on the seventh day there will be a solemn assembly for Yahweh your God; on that day you must do no work.
Vaidamding te hnin rhuk ca lamtah a hnin rhih dongkah BOEIPA na Pathen ham pahong vaengah bitat saii boeh.
9 You will count seven weeks for yourselves; from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you must start counting seven weeks.
A yalh rhih te namah loh tae. Canghli la vin a tawn lamloh tong lamtah yalh rhih duela tae.
10 You must keep the Festival of Weeks for Yahweh your God with the contribution of a freewill offering from your hand that you will give, according as Yahweh your God has blessed you.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengah Yalh khat Khotue te na saii ni. BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek vanbangla na kut dongkah na kothoh te a khawknah hil pae.
11 You will rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your city gates, and the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose for his sanctuary.
Te vaengah namah neh na capa na canu, na salnu neh na salpa, na vongka khuikah Levi neh yinlai, na khui kah cadah nuhmai loh BOEIPA na Pathen loh a ming phuk thil ham a coelh nah hmuen kah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na kohoe sakuh.
12 You will call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt; you must observe and do these statutes.
Egypt ah sal la na om te poek lamtah he rhoek kah oltlueh na vai ham khaw ngaithuen van.
13 You must keep the Festival of Shelters for seven days after you have gathered in the harvest from your threshing floor and from your winepress.
Na canghlom neh na va-am na than phoeikah a hnin rhih vaengah Pohlip Khotue na saii ni.
14 You will rejoice during your festival—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates.
Namah kah khotue van vaengah tah namah neh na capa neh na canu khaw, na salnu neh na salpa khaw, na vongka khuikah Levi neh yilai khaw, cadah neh nuhmai khaw na kohoe uh saeh.
15 For seven days you must observe the festival for Yahweh your God at the place that Yahweh will choose, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your harvest and all the work of your hands, and you must be completely joyful.
BOEIPA kah a hmuen coelh dongah BOEIPA na Pathen te hnin rhih khuiah na lam thil ni. Te vaengah na cangvuei boeih neh na kut dongkah bitat boeih dongah nang te BOEIPA na Pathen loh yoethen m'paek vetih kohoe la na om taktak ni.
16 Three times in a year all your males must appear before Yahweh your God at the place that he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Shelters. No one will appear before Yahweh empty-handed;
Na khuikah tongpaca boeih loh kum khat ah voei thum, vaidamding khotue, yalh rhoek khotue, pohlip khotue, vaengah BOEIPA hmuen coelh kah BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah phoe saeh. Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kuttling la phoe boel saeh.
17 instead, every man will give as he is able, that you might know the blessing that Yahweh your God has given to you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah m'paek yoethennah te a kut dongah kutdoe la rhip hang khuen saeh.
18 You must make judges and officers within all your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you; they will be taken from each of your tribes, and they must judge the people with righteous judgment.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh namah koca rhoek ham nang taengah m'paek na vongka khui boeih ah namah ham lai aka tloek la rhoiboei khueh lamtah pilnam taengah duengnah neh a tiktamnah la laitloek uh saeh.
19 You must not take justice away by force; you must not show partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
Laitloeknah te haeh sak boeh. maelhmai khaw so boeh. Kapbaih loh hlang cueih kah a mik he a dael sak tih hlang dueng kah olka pataeng a paimaelh thai dongah kapbaih na ca mahpawh.
20 You must follow after justice, after justice alone, so that you may live and inherit the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Duengnah te duengnah bangla na hloem daengah ni na hing vetih BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ham a khueh khohmuen te na pang eh.
21 You must not set up for yourselves an Asherah, any sort of pole, beside the altar of Yahweh your God that you will make for yourself.
Asherah thing boeih tah namah loh BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk na saii kaepah namah ham ling boeh.
22 Neither must you set up for yourself any sacred stone pillar, which Yahweh your God hates.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh a hmuhuet kaam te khaw namah ham thoh boeh.
