Exodus 23
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
A poeyoek kah olthang khuen boeh. Kuthlahnah kah laipai la om ham halang neh na kut hlaengtang boeh.
2 “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
Boethae dongah tah hlangping hnukah khaw om boeh. Kaengyai taengah hlangping neh kaengyai ham tuituknah dongah doo boeh.
3 You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.
Tattloel long khaw a tuituknah dongah n'hiin boel saeh.
4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Na thunkha kah vaito khaw, a laak khaw a kho a hmaang te na hmuh atah amah taengla mael rhoe mael puei.
5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
A taengah na tlo-oeng la na tlo-oeng mai cakhaw, na lunguet kah laak te a hnorhih dangah a kol te na hmuh atah anih taengah na tlo-oeng te khaw toeng laeh.
6 “You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
Na taengkah khodaeng te a tuituknah dongah a laitloeknah phaelh pah boeh.
7 “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
A honghi olka lamloh lakhla lamtah halang he ka tang sak pawt dongah ommongsitoe neh aka dueng khaw ngawn boeh.
8 “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
Kapbaih khaw lo boeh, kapbaih loh miktueng khaw a dael sak tih a dueng ol khaw a paimaelh.
9 “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
Yinlai khaw nen boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om van dongah yinlai kah hinglu te namah dongah ming puei.
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah a vueithaih khaw coi.
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
Tedae a kum rhih te hmil lamtah haai sak. Te daengah ni na pilnam khodaeng loh a caak vetih a noi te khohmuen mulhing loh a caak eh. Na misurdum ham na olive ham khaw te te saii.
12 “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
Hnin rhuk khuiah na bibi te saii lamtah a rhih hnin ah duem dae. Na vaito neh na laak khaw duem vetih na salnu kah a ca neh yinlai khaw a thasai ni.
13 “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.
Nangmih taengah a cungkuem la ka thui te ngaithuen uh. Pathen tloe rhoek kah a ming khaw phoei uh boeh. Na ka dongah ya uh boel saeh.
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
Kum khat ah kai ham khotue voei thum lam uh.
15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
Nang kan uen bangla vaidamding khotue te tuem uh lamtah hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca uh. Egypt lamloh na hlah uh vaengkah Abib hla te khoning la om vetih ka mikhmuh ah kuttling la ha phoe boel saeh.
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
Khohmuen na tawn te na bibi dongkah thaihcuek, cangah khotue neh kum boeih kah khohmuen lamloh na bibi na khoem vaengah cangyom khotue om ni.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
Na khuikah tongpaca boeih tah kum khat ah voei thum Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuh ah phoe saeh.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
Kai kah hmueih thii te tolrhu neh nawn boeh. Ka khotue kah maehtha khaw mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
19 You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of the LORD your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Na khohmuen kah thaihcuek tanglue te na BOEIPA Pathen kah im la khuen. Ma-ae ca te a manu suktui neh thong boeh.
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Longpuei ah nang aka ngaithuen ham neh ka hmoel hmuen hil nang aka khuen ham na mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih coeng ne.
21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
A mikhmuh ah ngaithuen lamtah a ol te hnatun. Anih te veet boeh, kai ming he a khui ah om coeng tih nangmih kah boekoeknah te duen mahpawh.
22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
A ol te na hnatun rhoela na hnatun tih ka thui te boeih na ngai atah na thunkha te ka thunkha nah vetih nang aka daengdaeh te ka dum van ni.
23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
Ka puencawn he nang hmai ah pongpa vetih nang te Amori neh Khitti taengla, Perizzi neh Kanaan taengla, Khivee neh Jebusi taengla n'thak vetih amih te ka thup ni.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
Amih kah pathen taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Amih kah khoboe bangla saii boeh. Te rhoek te koengloeng rhoe koengloeng lamtah a kaam te phaek la phaek pah.
25 You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengah tho na thueng daengah ni na buh neh na tui khaw a yoethen vetih na khui lamkah tlohtat te kang khoe eh.
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
Na khohmuen ah thangyah neh caya khaw om pawt vetih na khohnin kah a tarhing te ka cup sak ni.
27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
Kai taengkah mueirhih te na hmai ah ka tueih vetih a taengla na thoeng thil pilnam boeih te ka khawkkhek ni. Na thunkha boeih te nang taengah a rhawn ka duen sak ni.
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
Nang mikhmuh ah khoingal te ka tueih vetih Khivee, Kanaan neh Khitti te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
Kum khat nen tah na mikhmuh lamloh anih te ka haek mahpawh. Khohmuen te khopong la om vetih na taengah kohong mulhing pung aih ve.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
Na pungtai hil na mikhmuh lamloh bet bet ka haek daengah ni khohmuen te na pang eh.
31 I will set your border from the Sea of Suf even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
Na khorhi te carhaek tuipuei lamloh Philisti tuipuei duela, khosoek lamloh tuiva duela kan suem bitni. Khohmuen kah khosa rhoek te na kut ah kam paek vetih amih te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Amih taeng neh amih kah pathen taengah paipi saii boeh.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Na khohmuen ah khosa uh boel saeh, kai taengah na tholh ve. A pathen taengah tho na thueng atah na taengah hlaeh la poeh van ni.
