Mousese Ea Malasu 26
1 Dilia da soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha, amo lai dagosea amola amo ganodini fi dagosea,
“After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,
2 ha: i manu dilia da soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ha: i manu degabo fai lale, daba ganodini salima. Amasea, sogebi Godema nodomusa: E da ilegei, amoga masa.
[each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
3 Gobele salasu dunu da amo esoha ouligisu hou hamonana, ema amane sia: ma, ‘Na da wali sia: sa, na da soge amo Gode da ninia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amoga na da misi dagoi.’
Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
4 Amasea, gobele salasu dunu da dima daba lale, dilia Hina Gode amo Ea oloda midadi ligisimu.
Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.
5 Amasea di da Hina Godema amane sia: mu, “Na aowalali ada da udigili lalebe A: lamiane dunu. Ea fi da bagahame amola e da Idibidi sogega asili fi. Amogawi, ea fi da bagade hamosu amola gasa bagade ba: i.
Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
6 Be Idibidi dunu da ninima se bagade iasu. Ninia da ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalu, se bagade nabasu.
Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
7 Amalalu, ninia da ninia aowalalia Hina Godema se nabawane wesu. Amola Hina Gode da ninia wesu nabi dagoi. E da ninia se nabasu amola ninia gasa bagade udigili hawa: hamosu ba: i dagoi.
Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
8 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da gasa bagadewane nini Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, guiguda: oule misi. E da gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su hou, amoga nini oule misi. Amola dunu huluane da bagade beda: i.
Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
9 E da amo noga: i sogega oule misi. Amo soge noga: i ganodini da fedege agoane bulamagau dodo maga: me amola agime hani bagade hano agoane a: i ahoabe.
You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
10 Amola wali Hina Gode, na da ha: i manu degabo fai Di da ninima i liligi, amo dilima imunusa: gaguli misi.’ Amasea daba amo dia Hina Gode Ea midadi ligisima amola Ema beguduma.
So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
11 Amasea, dilia, dilia sosogo fi, Lifai dunu amola ga fi dilia fi ganodini esala da liligi huluane noga: iwane dilia Hina Gode da dilima amola dilia fi ilima i, amo dawa: beba: le, hahawane nodomu.
And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
12 Ode osoda da ‘daide’ ode. Amo ode ganodini dilia liligi lai huluane nabuane fifili, la: idi afae ligisili Lifai dunu, ga fi dunu, guluba: mano amola didalo dilia diasu ganodini esala, ilima sadima: ne ima.
Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
13 Amasea, dilia Hina Godema amane sia: ma, ‘Sema ‘daide’ liligi afae da na diasu ganodini hame diala. Na da Dima i ha: i manu lale, Lifai dunu, ga fi dunu, guluba: mano amola didalo ilima Dia sia: i defele i dagoi. Dia sia: i huluane na da fa: no bobogei amola afae da hame gogolei.
Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
14 Na da na Hina Gode Ea sia: huluane nabi dagoi. Na da dunu bogoiba: le dinanoba, Dima i ha: i manu hame mai. Na da ledo galea hame mai amola bogoi dunuma dawa: ma: ne hame i. Hina Gode! Na da Dia ‘daide’ imunu hamoma: ne sia: i huluane defele hamoi dagoi.
[I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
15 Di da Dia Hadigi Diasu Hebene amo ganodini esala. Amoga, Di ba: le guduli, amola Dia fi Isala: ili amola soge (amo ganodini da fedege agoane bulamagau dodo maga: me amola agime hani bagade hano agoane a: i ahoabe) amo Di da musa: ninia aowalali ilima ima: ne ilegele sia: i defele, ninima i dagoi, amo hahawane dogolegelewane fidima: ne sia: ma.’
So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
16 Dilia Hina Gode da wali eso amo Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amola Ea sema fa: no bobogema: ne sia: sa. Dilia dogoga amola dilia asigi dawa: suga, amo noga: le nabawane hamoma.
Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
17 Dilia da wali eso, Hina Gode da dilia Godedafa sia: i dagoi. Dilia da Ea hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le nabimu amola Ea Sema huluane hamomu amo dilia da ilegele sia: i dagoi.
Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
18 Wali eso Hina Gode da Ea musa: ilegele sia: i defele, dilia da Ea fidafa sia: i. Amola E da dili Ea sema noga: le nabawane hamoma: ne sia: sa.
And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
19 E da dilia fi amo fi huluane E da hamoi amo baligimusa: hamomu. Dilia hou hamomuba: le, dunu fi eno da Gode Ea Dio hadigi gala ba: mu amola Ema nodomu. Dilia da Ea ilegele sia: i defele, Ea: fidafa ba: mu.
If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
