Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Amsawnlok to haeh hmah; katoeng ai kami hoi amyok hmah loe, amsawn lok hnukung ah angdoe hmah.
1“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
2Kasae hmuen sak hanah minawk hnuk ah bang hmah; lokcaekhaih hmuen ah nang doet naah, toenghaih amkhraeng taak hanah kapop kaminawk bang ah angdoe hmah;
2You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
3lokcaek naah kamtang kami doeh mikhmai khen hmah.
3And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4Lam amkhraeng na misa ih maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe laa hrang maw na hnuk nahaeloe, angmah khaeah thaak pae let ah.
4If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
5Nang hnuma kami ih laa hrang to hmuen kazit mah taeh caeng nahaeloe, caehtaak hmah, anih to abom ah.
5If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
6Kamtang nangmah ih kami to lok na caek naah, amsoem ai ah lokcaek hmah.
6You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
7Katoeng ai hmuen to ayae oh; kaom duem kami hoi zaehaih tawn ai kami to hum hmah; zaehaih sah kasae kami loe ka prawt sut mak ai.
7Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
8Bokhaih ah paek ih tangqum to talawk hmah; bokhaih mah palungha kami ih mik to maengsak moe, katoeng kami ih lok to angkawnsak.
8Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
9Angvin to pacaekthlaek hmah; nangcae doeh Izip prae ah angvin ah na oh o pongah, angvin ih palungthin to na panoek o.
9Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10Saning tarukto thung lawk sah oh loe, cang to aat oh;
10For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,
11toe saning sarihto naah loe lawk sah ai ah, lawk hmuen to anghaksak ah loe, kongsak ah; nangmacae thung ih amtang kaminawk mah caaknaek pakronghaih ah patoh o nasoe loe; nihcae mah caehtaak ih kanghmat to moinawk mah caa o nasoe. To tiah misur takha hoi olive takha doeh sah oh.
11but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
12Ni tarukto thung nangmah ih tok to sah ah loe, ni sarihto naah loe anghak ah; nangmah ih maitaw tae hoi laa hrang doeh anghak ueloe, na imthung ah tapen na tamnanawk hoi angvin doeh anghak o nasoe.
12For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
13Kang thuih o ih loknawk boih pongah acoe oh; kalah sithawnawk ih ahmin to thui o hmah; na pakha hoi thuih ih lok doeh minawk han thaih o sak hmah.
13Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.
14Saningto naah vai thumto buh raenghaih to sah oh.
14Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
15Taeh thuh ai ih buh raenghaih poih to sah oh; (kang paek o ih lok baktih toengah, atue khaeh ih Abib khrah thungah, ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih to sah oh; nangcae loe to khrah naah ni Izip prae thung hoiah na tacawt o; to buh raenghaih poih sak nathung, mi kawbaktih doeh ka hmaa ah bangkrai ah angphong han om ai:)
15You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
16cangrawt tue ih poih loe na lawk thung hoi tacawt kathai tangsuek thingthai qumponawk hoiah sah oh loe, lawksak pacoeng, thingthai qumponawk lakhaih tue ah doeh sah oh.
16You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
17Nangcae thung ih nongpa boih saningto naah vai thumto Angraeng hmaa ah angphong oh.
17Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
18Angbawnhaih moi thii hoi taeh thuh ih takaw to nawnto na paek hmah. Angbawnhaih moithawk to akhawnbang khoek to anghmatsak hmah.
18You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
19Na lawk thung ih hmaloe koek kathai kahoih koek thingthai to na Angraeng Sithaw im ah sin ah; maeh caa to amno ih tahnutui hoiah thong hmah.
19Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20Khenah, ka sak ih ahmuen ah kang caeh o haih hanah, loklam ah nangcae khenzawnkung, van kami nangcae hmaa ah ka patoeh.
20Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
21Anih to khingya ah, a thuih ih lok to tahngai ah; anih to aek hmah; anih thungah Ka hmin oh pongah, anih mah na zaehaih to tahmen mak ai.
21Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.
22Toe a lok kahoih ah na tahngaih moe, ka thuih ih loknawk boih na sak nahaeloe, na misanawk to ka misa ah om tih, nangcae pakaa kaminawk to ka pakaa han.
22But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
23Kai ih van kami to nangcae hmaa ah caeh ueloe, nangcae to Amor, Hit, Periz, Kanaan, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae ah na caeh haih tih; nihcae to kam rosak boih han.
23For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
24Nihcae ih sithawnawk hmaa ah akuep hmah, bok hmah loe, nihcae ih tok doeh sah hmah; to hmuennawk to phrae ah loe, krangnawk doeh phrae boih ah.
24You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
25Nang ih takaw hoi tui to tahamhoihaih ang paek hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw to bok oh; na tak thung ih nathaih doeh kang lak pae ving tih.
25So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
26Na prae thungah, caa kamro hoi caa kaak maeto doeh om mak ai; na hing thung khosakhaih ka koepsak han.
26No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27Kai zithaih nangcae hmaa ah ka patoeh moe, na phak o ih ahmuen kruekah kaom kaminawk to kam rosak han; na misanawk to hnukbang ah kam laemsak boih han.
27I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
28Hiv, Kanaan hoi Hit kaminawk to haek hanah, nangcae hmaa ah khoilangae to ka patoeh han.
28I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
29Saningto thungah to kaminawk to nangcae hmaa hoi ka haek mak ai; to tiah ka sak nahaeloe prae thungah kami angqai krang ueloe, taw ih moinawk to pung o aep moeng tih.
29I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
30Nang pung o moe, prae thung boih na koi o ai karoek to, to kaminawk to zetta, zetta hoiah ni ka haek han.
30Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.
31Na ramri loe tuipui kathim hoiah Philistin tuipui karoek to, praezaek hoiah vapui khoek to ka suek han; to prae thungah kaom kaminawk to na ban ah kang paek han, nangmacae hmaa hoiah nihcae to na haek o tih.
31And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
32Nihcae hoi maw nihcae ih sithawnawk hoiah maw lokkamhaih to sah hmah.
32You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33Nihcae mah ka nuiah zaehaih ang sak o sak han ai ah, nihcae to na prae thungah omsak hmah; nihcae ih sithawnawk to na bok nahaeloe, nang han patung ih thaang ah om tih, tiah a naa.
33They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
