Sunglatnah 23
1 A poeyoek kah olthang khuen boeh. Kuthlahnah kah laipai la om ham halang neh na kut hlaengtang boeh.
“You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf of the impious.
2 Boethae dongah tah hlangping hnuk khaw om boeh. Kaengyai taengah hlangping neh kaengyai ham tuituknah dongah doo boeh.
You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.
3 Tattloel long khaw a tuituknah dongah n'hiin boel saeh.
Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.
4 Na thunkha kah vaito khaw, a laak khaw a kho a hmaang te na hmuh atah amah taengla mael rhoe mael puei.
If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.
5 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-oenng te khaw toeng laeh.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you, fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by without lifting it up with him.
6 Na taengkah khodaeng te a tuituknah dongah a laitloeknah phaelh pah boeh.
You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.
7 A honghi olka lamloh lakhla lamtah halang he ka tang sak pawt dongah ommongsitoe neh aka dueng khaw ngawn boeh.
You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.
8 Kapbaih khaw lo boeh, kapbaih loh miktueng khaw a dael sak tih a dueng ol khaw a paimaelh.
Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.
9 Yinlai khaw nen boeh, Egypt kho ah yinlai la na om van dongah yinlai kah hinglu te namah dongah ming puei.
You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10 Na khohmuen te kum rhuk tawn lamtah a vueithaih khaw coi.
For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.
11 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. Na misurdum ham na olive ham khaw te te saii.
But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 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.
For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.
13 Nangmih taengah a cungkuem la ka thui te ngaithuen uh. Pathen tloe rhoek ming khaw phoei uh boeh, Na ka dongah ya uh boel saeh.
Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.
14 Kum khat ah kai ham khotue voei thum lam uh.
Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.
15 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.
You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,
16 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.
for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.
17 Na khuikah tongpaca boeih tah kum khat ah voei thum Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuh ah phoe saeh.
Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.
18 Kai kah hmueih thii te tolrhu neh nawn boeh. Ka khotue kah maehtha khaw mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.
19 Na khohmuen kah thaihcuek tanglue te na BOEIPA Pathen kah im la khuen. Ma-ae ca te a manu suktui neh thong boeh.
You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.
20 Longpuei ah nang aka ngaithuen ham neh ka hmoel hmuen hil nang aka khuen ham na mikhmuh ah puencawn kan tueih coeng ne.
Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.
21 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.
Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.
22 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.
But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.
23 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.
And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.
24 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.
You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.
25 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.
And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.
26 Na khohmuen ah thangyah neh caya khaw om pawt vetih na khohnin kah a tarhing te ka cup sak ni.
There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.
27 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.
I will send my terror to run ahead of you, and I will kill all the people to whom you will enter. And I will turn the backs of all your enemies before you,
28 Nang mikhmuh ah khoingal te ka tueih vetih Khivee, Kanaan neh Khitti te na mikhmuh lamloh ka haek ni.
sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.
29 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.
I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.
30 Na pungtai hil na mikhmuh lamloh bet bet ka haek daengah ni khohmuen te na pang eh.
I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.
31 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.
Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.
32 Amih taeng neh amih kah pathen taengah paipi saii boeh.
You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.
33 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.
They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”
