Kâboutpoenae 15

1 Kum sari touh dawk vai touh laiba hloutnae na sak awh han.

At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.

2 Laiba hloutnae phung hateh, imri hah hno kacawi sak e ni, hote laiba hah a hlout sak han. BAWIPA e hloutnae tueng lah ao dawkvah, hote laiba hah na imri koe, na hmaunawngha koe na het mahoeh.

And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends something to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’s release.

3 Ramlouk koe teh heinae kâ ao. Na hmaunawngha koe teh het laipalah na hlout sak han.

Of a foreigner you may exact it again: but that which is your with your brother your hand shall release;

4 Nang dawk mathoe ao hoeh nahanelah hottelah na sak han. BAWIPA Cathut ni nama han râw lah na poe e ram dawk nang hah yawhawi moikapap na poe han.

Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it:

5 Sahnin kai ni kâ na poe e hete kâpoelawk hah na tarawi nahanelah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah takuetluet thai haw.

Only if you carefully listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command you this day.

6 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk a kam e patetlah yawhawi na poe vaiteh, nang ni ayânaw hah na cawi sak han. Ahnimouh ni teh nang na cawi sak mahoeh. Nang ni miphunnaw hah na uk han. Ahnimouh ni nang na uk awh mahoeh.

For the LORD your God blesses you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

7 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe ram dawkvah, na longkha thung ka roedeng e na hmaunawngha reira awm pawiteh, hote ka roedeng e na hmaunawngha koe na lungmouk hanh. Na kut hai kasum hanh.

If there be among you a poor man of one of your brothers within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother:

8 Na kut hah kakaw lah na kadai vaiteh, a roedengnae a kahma totouh na cawi sak han.

But you shall open your hand wide to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wants.

9 A kum sarinae hloutnae kum a pha han a hnai toe. Ka roedeng e hmaunawngha hah utsin laihoi banghai poe hane ngai laipalah, na lungthin dawk kahawi hoeh khopouknae ao hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet awh. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh, ahni ni BAWIPA koe hram vaiteh, nang dawk yon a pha hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet.

Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.

10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na onae koe ka roedeng pout mahoeh.

You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to.

11 Hatdawkvah, na onae ram dawk, ka roedeng e hmaunawnghanaw hanelah na kut ka kaw lah na kadai nahanelah lawk na thui.

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land.

12 Na hmaunawngha reira, Hebru tami napui tongpa teh, nang koe san lah ao teh, kum taruk touh ao hnukkhu, a kum sarinae dawk teh na hlout sak han.

And if your brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold to you, and serve you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

13 Na hlout sak toteh kuthrawng na hlout sak mahoeh.

And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty:

14 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni yawhawi na poe e patetlah na tuhu thung e thoseh, cang katinnae thung e thoseh, misur na katinnae thung e thoseh moikapap na poe han.

You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your floor, and out of your wine press: of that with which the LORD your God has blessed you you shall give to him.

15 Nang teh, Izip ram vah, san lah ouk na o boi e hai thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni nang hah na hlout sak e hai thoseh na pouk han. Hatdawkvah, hete kâpoelawk hah sahnin kai ni na poe.

And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing to day.

16 Hatei, san niyah, tâco hane ka ngai hoeh. Nang hoi na imthungkhunaw hoi o e a nawm doeh tetpawiteh,

And it shall be, if he say to you, I will not go away from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;

17 nang ni phuengvang na la vaiteh, takhang koe a hnâ na kavi pouh vaiteh, ahni teh san lah pou ao han. Hot patetvanlah sannu koehai na sak awh han.

Then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever. And also to your maidservant you shall do likewise.

18 Na san na tha navah, arupoung telah pouk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum taruk touh thung san thaw a tawk teh, aphu hoi hlai e hlak let hni touh hoi thaw a tawk toe. Na BAWIPA Cathut ni hai na tawksak e tangkuem dawk yawhawi na poe han.

It shall not seem hard to you, when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant to you, in serving you six years: and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do.

19 Na maitohu hoi tuhu naw thung dawk, camin atan kaawm e pueng teh, na BAWIPA Cathut hanelah a thoung han. Maito camin, tu camin hah na hno mahoeh.

All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstling of your bullock, nor shear the firstling of your sheep.

20 BAWIPA Cathut ni a rawi e hmuen koe, na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, a kum tangkuem pout laipalah, na imthungnaw hoi rei na ca awh han.

You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.

21 Hote maito tu naw dawkvah, khokkhem, mit ka dawn, a tak dawk yonnae, alouke toun han kawi lah kaawm e buetbuet touh awm pawiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae na sak mahoeh.

And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.

22 Na longkha thung na ca han. Sayuk sakhi moi na ca e patetlah kathounge tami, kathounghoehe taminaw ni hai reirei a ca awh han.

You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

23 Hatei, a thi teh na cat awh mahoeh. Tui rabawk e patetlah talai dawk na rabawk awh han.

Only you shall not eat the blood thereof; you shall pour it on the ground as water.
