Exodus 23
1 'Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness.
Nang ni laithoe e kamthang hah patuen na pathang mahoeh, na dei mahoeh. Tamikalanhoehnaw hoi lungkânging teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na awm mahoeh.
2 'Thou art not after many to evil, nor dost thou testify concerning a strife, to turn aside after many to cause [others] to turn aside;
Tamikathoutnaw e hnukkâbang mahoeh. Lawkceng navah tami kalen kambawng laihoi lamthung phensak hanlah na dei mahoeh.
3 and a poor man thou dost not honour in his strife.
Mathoe koehai kapeknae na tawn mahoeh.
4 'When thou meetest thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou dost certainly turn it back to him;
Na taran e marang maito lam ka hmang e na hmawt pawiteh bout na thak pouh awh han.
5 when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving [it] to it — thou dost certainly leave [it] with him.
Nang na ka hmawt ngai hoeh e tami e la hah a hno ni a ratet e na hmawt pawiteh, na kabawp ngai hoeh hai na kabawp han.
6 'Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in his strife;
Mathoe ni nang na oun nah kahawi hoeh lah ahni lawk na ceng mahoeh.
7 from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.
Kahmanhoeh e hno na roun han. Yon ka tawn hoeh e tamikalan hah na thet mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamikathout teh kai ni ka ngaithoum mahoeh.
8 'And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the open -[eyed], and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Nang ni tadawngnae na cat mahoeh. Tadawngnae ni tami lungkaangnaw hah mit a dawn sak teh tami kalannaw lawk a phen sak.
9 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye — ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
Ram alouke imyin hah rektap awh hanh. Nangmouh teh Izip ram dawk imyin lah ouk na o awh toung dawkvah, imyin ni a tawn e lungthin hah na panue awh.
10 'And six years thou dost sow thy land, and hast gathered its increase;
Kum taruk touh thung laikawk na tawk vaiteh cakang na pâtung awh han.
11 and the seventh thou dost release it, and hast left it, and the needy of thy people have eaten, and their leaving doth the beast of the field eat; so dost thou to thy vineyard — to thine olive-yard.
A kum sari nah laikawk tawk laipalah na ta han. Hottelah, na sak pawiteh, mathoenaw ni a ca thai awh van han. Kacawie naw hai saringnaw ni a ca awh han. Hot patetvanlah, misur takha, olive takha hai na sak awh han.
12 'Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed;
Hnin taruk touh thung thaw na tawk awh han. A hnin sari nah na kâhat awh han. Hottelah, na sak pawiteh, na maito hoi lanaw ni kâhatnae tueng a tawn awh han. Na canaw, imyinnaw hai tha a dam awh han.
13 and in all that which I have said unto you ye do take heed; and the name of other gods ye do not mention; it is not heard on thy mouth.
Ka dei e lawknaw pueng hah pâkuem awh. Alouke cathut min hah dei awh hanh. Na pahni dawk hoi dei e lawk ayâ ni thai hanh naseh.
14 'Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year;
Kum touh dawk vai thum touh kai hanlah pawi na sak awh han.
15 the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at the time appointed [in] the month of Abib; for in it thou hast come forth out of Egypt, and ye do not appear [in] My presence empty;
Tonphuenhoehe vaiyei pawi na sak awh han. Kâ na poe tangcoung e patetlah hnin sari touh thung tonphuenhoehe na ca awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote thapa dawk nangmouh teh Izip ram hoi na tâco awh. Hote pawi na sak awh navah apihai kai koe a kuthrawng hoi tho hanh naseh.
16 and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of thy works which thou sowest in the field; and the Feast of the In-Gathering, in the outgoing of the year, in thy gathering thy works out of the field.
Laikawk tawk teh cang a han nah, cang takhawknae thoseh, cakang koung kuem hoi kum abaw nah, cavanca pawi thoseh na sak awh han.
17 'Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah.
Nangmouh thung dawk tongpa pueng teh kum touh dawk vai thum touh Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah minhmai na patue awh han.
18 'Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice, and the fat of My festival doth not remain till morning;
Kai e sathei e thi hah ton phuen e vaiyei kalawt laihoi na poe mahoeh. Kai e sathei e athaw hai amom totouh na tat awh mahoeh.
19 the beginning of the first-fruits of thy ground thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Na law dawk e a pawhik kahawi poung e aluepaw hah na BAWIPA Cathut e im dawk na thokhai awh han. Hmaeca hah a manu e sanutui hoi na thawng mahoeh.
20 'Lo, I am sending a messenger before thee to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee in unto the place which I have prepared;
Khenhaw! lam vah nang na ring vaiteh, ka rakueng e hmuen koe hrawi hanelah na hmalah kalvantami ka patoun han.
21 be watchful because of his presence, and hearken to his voice, rebel not against him, for he beareth not with your transgression, for My name [is] in his heart;
Hote kalvantami hah barinae tawn. A lawk hah ngai pouh. A kâ ek hanh. Kâ na tapoenae hah ahni ni na ngaithoum awh mahoeh. Kai e ka min teh ahni dawk ao.
22 for, if thou diligently hearken to his voice, and hast done all that which I speak, then I have been at enmity with thine enemies, and have distressed those distressing thee.
Nang ni atangcalah a lawk na ngai teh, kaie kâlawk patetlah na sak pawiteh, nange tarannaw hah ka taran van han. Nang kangangnaw hah kai ni ka ngang van han.
23 'For My messenger goeth before thee, and hath brought thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I have cut them off.
Kaie kalvantami ni na hmalah a cei vaiteh Amor tami, Hit tami, Periz tami, Kanaan tami, Hiv tami hoi Jubusitnaw onae hmuen koe na hrawi awh vaiteh, ahnimouh teh koung ka pâlei han.
24 'Thou dost not bow thyself to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their doings, but dost utterly devote them, and thoroughly break their standing pillars.
Ahnimae cathut hah na bawk awh mahoeh. Ahnimae bawknae patet lahai na sak awh mahoeh. Koung na raphoe awh vaiteh kutsak cathutnaw hai phetrasei lah na dei pouh han.
25 'And ye have served Jehovah your God, and He hath blessed thy bread and thy water, and I have turned aside sickness from thine heart;
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah na bawk awh han. Na vaiyei thoseh, tui thoseh yawhawinae a poe han. Lacik hai nange nathung hoi a takhoe han.
26 there is not a miscarrying and barren one in thy land; the number of thy days I fulfil:
Na ram dawk camo ronae hoi carôenae awm mahoeh. Na hringyung ka vang sak han.
27 My terror I send before thee, and I have put to death all the people among whom thou comest, and I have given the neck of all thine enemies unto thee.
Kai na takinae lungthin hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, na phanae hmuen pueng koe e miphunnaw pueng hah ka raphoe han. Na tarannaw pueng hah hnuklah ka ban sak han.
28 'And I have sent the hornet before thee, and it hath cast out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee;
Khoingannaw hah na hmalah ka patoun vaiteh, Hitnaw, Kanaannaw, Hivnaw hah na hmalah a pâlei han.
29 I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath multiplied against thee;
Hote taminaw kum touh hoi na hmalah lahoi koung ka pâlei mahoeh. Koung ka pâlei pawiteh, ram dawk tami kingdi vaiteh sarang teh nang hanlah kapap han.
30 little [by] little I cast them out from before thee, till thou art fruitful, and hast inherited the land.
Nang ni na pungdaw teh ram dawk na kawi hoehnahlan pueng, ahnimouh teh payai lahoi ka pâlei han.
31 'And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou hast cast them out from before thee;
Na ramri teh tuipui paling tui koehoi Filistin tuipui totouh, thingyeiyawn hoi tuipui totouh kai ni ka khoe han. Hote khocanaw teh na kut dawk na poe vaiteh nang ni na pâlei han.
32 thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their gods;
Ahnimouh hoi thoseh, ahnimae cathutnaw hoi thoseh, kâhuikonae na sak awh mahoeh.
33 they do not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against Me when thou servest their gods, when it becometh a snare to thee.'
Nang ni kai koe yonnae na sak hanelah, ahnimouh ni a sak han tie puennae ao dawkvah, ahnimouh teh na ram dawk awm awh mahoeh. Nang ni ahnimae cathut hah na bawk pawiteh, kamthuinae katang lah ao han telah Mosi koe atipouh.
