Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.
“Nik kom akyokyelik sramsram tia pwaye, ac nik kom kinauk ma sutuu sang kasru sie mwet oasr mwata.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert [judgment].
Nik kom oru ma sutuu finne pusiyen mwet uh oru, ku welulos kifasla ma suwohs ke pacl in nununku.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
Ke kom nununku sie mwet sukasrup, nimet akfisrasrye nununku lom nu sel ke sripen sukasrup lal.
4 — If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.
“Kom fin sun cow soko ku donkey soko ma kaingla nutin mwet lokoalok lom, folokunla nu yorol.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving [it] to him: thou shalt certainly loosen [it] with him.
Donkey natul fin ikori ye ma toasr oan facl, nikmet fahlana, a kom in kasrel tulokonak donkey natul nwe ke el sifilpa tuyak.
6 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
“Nimet ikol nununku suwohs nu sin sie mwet sukasrup.
7 Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.
Nik kom oru tukak tia pwaye, ac nik kom eisang sie mwet suwoswos nu ke misa, mweyen nga ac fah lusla kutena mwet su oru kain koluk ouinge.
8 And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Nik kom eis molin eyeinse, tuh molin eyeinse uh akkunye mutun mwet nu ke ma suwohs, ac akkihyela nununku suwohs nu selos su wangin mwata.
9 And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
“Nik kom oru koluk nu sin sie mwetsac. Kom pula pac tari moul in mwetsac uh, mweyen kom tuh sie mwetsac in facl Egypt meet.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;
“Yac onkosr kom in yoki acn sum ac eisani fahko kac.
11 but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie [fallow], that the poor of thy people may eat [of it]; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.
A ke yac se akitkosr lela acn sum in mongla — kom fah tia yoki ac tia pac kosrani. Lela mwet sukasrup uh in kang kutena ma kap we, ac kosro inima uh in kang ma lula. Oru oapana ke ima in grape lowos ac sak olive sunowos.
12 — Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
“Kom in orekma len onkosr ke wik se, tusruk nimet oru kutena orekma ke len akitkosr, tuh mwet kohs lowos ac mwetsac su orekma nu suwos, ac finne kosro nutuwos, in ku in mongla.
13 And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods — it shall not be heard in thy mouth.
“Porongo ma nukewa ma nga, LEUM GOD, fahk tari nu sum. Nik kom pre nu sin god saya. Finne inelos, kom in tia pac fahk.
14 Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.
“Kowos in tukeni ac oru kufwa lulap tolu ke yac se in akfulatyeyu.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty; )
In malem Abib, malem se ma kowos illa liki Egypt, kowos in akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke ouiya ma nga sapkin tari nu suwos. Nimet kang kutena bread orekla ke mwe pulol inmasrlon len itkosr lun kufwa se inge. Nimet tuku in alu nu sik ke wangin mwe sang inpouwos.
16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
“Akfulatye Kufwen Kosrani ke kowos mutawauk in kosrani wheat sunowos. “Akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk ke saflaiyen pacl in kosrani, ke kowos telani fokin ima in grape ac fokinsak olive sunowos.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.
In yac nukewa ke pacl in akfulatye kufwa lulap tolu inge, mukul Israel nukewa in tuku alu nu sik, LEUM GOD lowos.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
“Nik kom sang bread ma orek ke mwe pulol ke kom kisakin soko kosro nu sik. Kiris ke kosro kisakinyuk nu sik ke pacl in kufwa inge, fah tia oan nu ke lotutang tok ah.
19 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Ke kais sie yac, kom fah use nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD lom, fahko ma wo emeet ke kosrani se meet lom. “Nik kom poeli soko sheep fusr, ku nani fusr, ke sronin titi lun nina kia.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.
“Nga ac supwala sie lipufan in fahsr meet liki kowos, in karingin kowos ke fufahsryesr lowos, ac in uskowosla nu ke acn se su nga akoela.
21 Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for my name is in him.
Lohang nu sel ac aksol. Nimet lainul, mweyen nga pa supwalot, ac kowos fin lainul el ac fah tia nunak munas nu suwos kac.
22 But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
Tusruktu kowos fin aksol ac oru ma nukewa nga sapkin, nga fah mweun lain mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
Lipufan luk ac fah fahsr meet liki kowos ac us kowos nu in facl sin mwet Amor, mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Canaan, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus, ac nga fah kunauselosla.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their deeds; but thou shalt utterly destroy them, and utterly shatter their statues.
Nik kowos epasr nu sin god lalos ku alu nu selos, ac nik kowos etai ouiyen alu lalos. Kunauselik god lalos ac fukulya loang eot mutal lalos.
25 And ye shall serve Jehovah your God; and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from thy midst.
Kowos fin alu nu sik, LEUM GOD lowos, nga ac fah akinsewowoye kowos ke mwe mongo ac kof ac eisla mas nukewa lowos liki kowos.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days will I fulfil.
Ac fah wangin tulik putatla nutin mutan pitutu, ac ac fah wangin pac mutan talap in facl suwos. Nga ac fah akloesye moul lowos.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and confound every people to which thou comest, and will make all thine enemies turn their back to thee.
“Nga fah aksangengalos su lain kowos, ac mwet su kowos mweuni nga fah akfohsyalosyak. Nga fah oru mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa in forla ac kaing liki kowos.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Nga fah oru tuh mwet lokoalok lowos — su mwet Hiv, mwet Canaan, ac mwet Hit — in fosrngalana, ac nga fah ukwalosyak ke kowos fahsr in utyak nu in facl selos.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year: lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
Nga ac fah tia luselosla ke pulan yac se, mweyen nga fin oru ouinge, na acn uh ac mwesisla, ac kosro lemnak uh ac arulana pusla, na kowos tia ku in lain.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou art fruitful, and possess the land.
Nga fah kais kutu lusla mwet lokoalok lowos, nwe ke kowos faseni in ku in eisla acn selos.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the river; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, that thou mayest dispossess them from before thee.
Nga fah oru masrol lun acn suwos in mutawauk ke Meoa Srusra fahla nwe ke Meoa Mediteranean, ac oayapa yen mwesis lac nwe ke Infacl Euphrates. Nga fah sot mwet in facl sac nu inpouwos, ac kowos fah luselosla ke pacl kowos utyak nu we.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Nik kowos oru kutena oakwuk ku yorolos, ku yurin god lalos.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it is sure to be a snare unto thee.
Nik kowos lela mwet ingan in muta in facl suwos. Kowos fin lela, elos ac oru kowos in orekma koluk lainyu. Kowos fin alu nu sin god lalos, ac fah oana sie sruhf nu suwos.”
