Txiwj Xiwm Kaab

Put up the new Xiwm Kaab, if you have not done so.

Placement of the Xiwm Kaab should preferably be somewhere where someone can see it when they first enter into your main front door. It is believed that the bad spirits will leave if they see the Xiwm Kaab, and will not enter the house.

Put a small table under the Xiwm Kaab spot, on top of the table place a large flat plate
Place the tawb muag lom in the middle of the large plate, with 4 incense in it
Put all the following items around the tawb muag lom, 4 rice patties, 4 filled shot glasses , 4 money paper (txaug ntawv), 4 single small paper money, 4 paper boat, bundle of incense sticks.


You need to hold the rooster with one arm so it is facing the new Xiwm Kaab
You will also need to hold the kuam in one hand because you will need to Flip the horns ( )

Zaaj Txw Xiwm Kaab

Si lau Txiv Xiwm Kaab lau xyoo laug tag
xyoo tshab tawm tuaj lawm

ca les lug nyob txum chaw,
lug haus yeeb haus tshuaj.

Kuv muaj ib tug lauv qab lab,
ib tug lauv qab dlawb

4 tswm xyaab, 4 plooj ntawv, 4 swm ntawv,
4 lub yeej khum ceeb khum hab

4 peb cawv lug teev tam koj
lau Txiv Xiwm Kaab lau

Koj yuav lug leeg xyaab leeg ntawv,
leeg dlej leeg cawv

lug leeg qab leeg noog lau Txiv Xiwm Kaab lau.


(When you get to this point in the verse you need to ntaus kuam
The goal is to get the horns to be one side is up and one side is down
if one side is up and one side is down then you are done. This means leeg lawm.
If not you repeat the last two lines above and ntaus kaum again and again till one side is up and one side is down. Then you can continue on to the next part
txug nuav tes ntaus kuam yog ib saab ntxeev ib saab khwb tes yog leeg lawm)

Koj yuav pov fwm pov yoos kuv ib tsev
nam tub txiv quas nyuas cuaj tsib kaum
rau leej cuaj tsib kaum rau tug

kom nyob yim nyob xua nyob kaaj nyob huv,
nce toj kom muaj sab nqeg taug kom muaj zug,

kom tsi ntsib plaub ntsib ntug,
tsi ntsib xaiv ntsib lug

nrug lub xyoo tshab kom tu tsaj tu txhuv


lug lawm tsheej paab ua qoob ua loos
lug puv txhaab,

khwv tau nyaj kub lug puv naab,

tu tsaj tu txhuv kom lug tsheej kev

khwv nyaj kub kom tau lug puv seev

kom kuv ib tsev nam tub txiv quas nyuas

mas noj tsi coog haus tsi tag

tau coj moog ndlav dlaag noj
tsi taag haus tsi txug

taus coj moog ndlav zug lau
Txiv Xiwm Kaab lau.

Then you Flip the horns again ( )
This time the goal is get the horns to be both facing down
If they don't you say the following phrase and ntaus kuam till they do.

Koj lug leeg qab leeg noog leeg xyaab
leeg ntawv lawm. Koj yuav lug pov fwm
pov yoos kuv tsev nam tub txiv quas nyuas

(Ntaus kuam yog ob saab khwb tes yog pov lawm. Taag nuav tes muab ob tug qab tua. Muab cov plaub cij dlaab coj lug lu rua ntawm dlaim ntawv.)
