Deuteronomy 4
1 Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
Na Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma nga luti kowos kac, na kowos fah ku in moul ac muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El sot nu suwos.
2 You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
Nik kowos laesla kutena ma nu ke ma nga sapkin nu suwos, ac nik kowos eisla kutena ma liki. Akos ma sap nukewa lun LEUM GOD lowos ma nga sot nu suwos.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
Kowos sifacna liye ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru Fineol Peor. El onelosla nukewa su alu nu sel Baal we,
4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
a kowos nukewa su inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kowos srakna moul nwe misenge.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
“Nga tuh luti kowos ma sap nukewa, oana ke LEUM GOD luk El fahk ngan oru. Kowos in akos ma sap inge in facl se su kowos apkuran in mweuni in eisla lowos.
6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Ke kowos oaru in liyaung ma sap inge, ac fah akkalemye nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya lupan lalmwetmet lowos. Ke pacl elos ac lohng ma sap inge, elos ac fahk, ‘Seyal yohk lalmwetmet ac etauk lun mutunfacl lulap se inge!’
7 For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
“Wangin kutena mutunfacl, finne arulana yohk, oasr god se su apkuran nu selos ke pacl elos enenu, in oana LEUM GOD lasr El apkuran nu sesr. El topuk kut pacl nukewa kut pang nu sel.
8 And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
Wangin kutena mutunfacl, finne yohk, oasr ma sap lalos arulana suwohs, oana ma sap nga luti nu suwos misenge.
9 Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
Kowos in arulana taran ac karinganang tuh kowos in tia mulkunla ma kowos sifacna liye ke motowos, ke lusen moul lowos nufon. Srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ac nu sin tulik nutin tulik nutuwos.
10 The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”
ke len se kowos tuh tu ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos Fineol Sinai, ke El fahk nu sik, ‘Eisani mwet uh nu sie. Nga lungse elos in lohng ma nga ac fahk uh, ouinge elos ac fah ku in lutlut in akosyu ke lusen moul lalos, ac oapaya loteang tulik natulos in akosyu.’
11 You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
“Srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ke pacl se kowos tuh som tu pe eol soko ah, su nukla ke kulasr matoltol ac lohsr, ac e uh firir nwe lucng.
12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
Srumun nu selos lah LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu suwos liki e sac, ac kowos lohng pusracl a tiana liyal in kutena lumah.
13 He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.
El fwackot nu suwos ma kowos enenu in oru in karinganang wuleang ma El orala inmasrlowos — kowos in akos Ma Sap Singoul, su El simusla fin eot tupasrpasr luo.
14 At that time the LORD commanded me to teach you the statutes and ordinances you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in luti kowos ma sap nukewa su kowos enenu in akos in facl se su kowos apkuran in mweuni, eisla, ac oakwuki we.
15 So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
“Pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu suwos liki e sac Fineol Sinai, kowos tiana liyal in kutena lumah. Ouinge kowos in arulana karinganang
16 that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
tuh kowos in tia oru ma koluk ke kowos orala nu suwos sifacna sie ma sruloala in kutena lumah — tia ke luman mukul ku mutan,
17 of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
kosro ku won sohksok,
18 or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
ma orakrak ku ik.
19 When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Ke kowos ngetak nu inkusrao ac liye faht, malem, ac itu uh, nik kowos tafongla in alu ac orekma nu kac. LEUM GOD lowos El orala ma inge nu sin mwet nukewa faclu.
20 Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
A kowos pa mutanfahl se su El molela liki facl Egypt, su oana sie funyu ma arulana fol mwe manman osra. El uskowosme liki acn we in oru tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke kowos oasr kac misenge.
21 The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Ke sripowos, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sik ac orala fulahk lah nga ac fah tia alukela Infacl Jordan in utyak nu in facl se ma wo fohk we, su El asot nu suwos.
22 For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
Nga ac misa in acn se inge ac tia wi aliki infacl soko uh, tusruktu kowos apkuran in alukeot ac utyak muta fin acn wowo sac.
23 Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
Karinganangna tuh kowos in tia mulkunla wuleang ma LEUM GOD El orala yuruwos. Akos ma El sapkin, ac tia oru kutena kain in ma sruloala nu suwos sifacna,
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El oana sie e firir; El tia lungse in oasr kutena god sayal.
25 After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
Tukun yac puspis, ke kowos okaki tari in facl sac ac oasr tulik nutuwos oayapa tulik nutin tulik nutuwos, nimet orekma koluk in orala ma sruloala nu suwos sifacna in kutena kain in lumah. Ma se inge sie ma koluk lulap ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac El ac fah arulana kasrkusrak kac.
26 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
Nga pangon kusrao ac faclu in orek loh lain kowos misenge lah kowos fin seakosyu, kowos ac sa na wanginla liki facl se ma kowos ac alukela Infacl Jordan in eis. Kowos ac tia muta paht we, a kowos fah arulana sikiyukla.
27 Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
LEUM GOD El ac fah akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl saya, yen mwet na pu suwos ac painmoulla.
28 And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
In acn ingo, kowos ac kulansupu god su orekla ke poun mwet — god sak ac eot, god su tia ku in liye ku lohng, su tia ku in mongo ku ngok ma uh.
29 But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Kowos ac fah suk LEUM GOD lowos we, ac kowos fin sokol ke insiowos nufon, kowos fah konalak.
30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.
Pacl kowos sun mwe ongoiya, ac ma upa ingan sikyak nu suwos, na tok kowos ac fah forla nu sin LEUM GOD ac aksol.
31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
El sie God pakoten. El ac fah tia kunauskowosla ku fahsr liki kowos, ac El ac fah tia mulkunla wuleang se su El sifacna orala yurin mwet matu lowos meet ah.
32 Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
“Suk ke sramsram matu, ke pacl loeloes somla, meet liki kowos isusla, ke God El tufahna orala mwet faclu. Suk pac fin faclu nufon. Ku nu oasr ma yohk oana inge sikyak meet? Nu oasr mwet lohng kutena ma ouinge?
33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
Ya nu oasr mwet moul na tukun elos lohng sie god sramsram nu selos liki sie e, oana kowos?
34 Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
Ya nu oasr kutena god su srike in som eis sie un mwet liki sie pacna mutunfacl ac oru tuh elos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu suwos in Egypt? El orekmakin ku lulap ac fulat lal ye motowos. El use mwe lokoalok ac mweun, El orek mwenmen ac usrnguk, ac oru tuh mwe aksangeng puspis in sikyak.
35 You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
LEUM GOD El fahkak ma inge nu suwos, in akpwaye nu suwos lah El mukena pa God, ac wangin pac sie sayal.
36 He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
El oru tuh kowos in lohng pusral inkusrao me, tuh Elan ku in luti kowos; ac fin faclu El oru kowos in liye e firir mutal lal, ac El kaskas nu suwos liki e sac.
37 Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
Ke sripen El lungse papa matu tomowos meet ah, El sulekowosla ac El sifacna uskowosme liki Egypt ke ku lulap lal.
38 to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
El lusla mutunfacl lulap ac ku liki kowos meet liki kowos tuku sun acn ingan, tuh Elan ku in uskowosme ac asot facl sac nu suwos — facl se su srakna ma suwos nwe misenge.
39 Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
Ke ma inge, misenge kowos in esam ac nimet mulkunla lah LEUM GOD El God lun kusrao ac faclu. Wangin sie god saya.
40 Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
Akos ma sap lal nukewa ma nga asot nu suwos misenge, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos. Ac fah loes pacl lowos in muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos in lowos nwe tok.”
41 Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east
Na Moses el srela tolu siti kutulap in Infacl Jordan
42 to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:
tuh sie mwet in ku in kaingla ac moulla we el fin uniya mwet se ke el tia oru in oaya, ac mwet sac el tia mwet lokoalok lal. El ku in kaing nu in sie siti inge, na ac tia anwuki el.
43 Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.
Siti Bezer, su oan yen mwesis ke yen fulat tupasrpasr, ma nu sin sruf lal Reuben; siti Ramoth in acn Gilead, ma nu sin sruf lal Gad; ac siti Golan in acn Bashan, ma nu sin sruf lal Manasseh.
44 This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
Moses el sang ma sap lun God nu sin mwet Israel, wi mwe luti saya.
45 These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
Pa inge kas in luti ac ma sap ac ma oakwuk ma Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Israel tukun elos ilme liki Egypt,
46 while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
ke elos muta infahlfal kutulap in Infacl Jordan, tulanang Bethpeor. Acn se inge tuh ma lal Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor, su leumi Heshbon, a Moses ac mwet Israel elos tuh kutangulla ke elos tuku liki Egypt.
47 They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
Elos eisla acn lal ac acn lal Tokosra Og lun Bashan, sie pac tokosra lun mwet Amor su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
48 extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
Acn se inge mutawauk ke siti Aroer, ke sisken Infacl Arnon, utyak epang nwe ke Eol Sion, su pangpang pac Fineol Hermon,
49 including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
ac sisani acn nukewa kutulap in Infacl Jordan som eir lac nu ke Meoa Misa, ac nu kutulap nu pe Eol Pisgah.
