Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the rules and regulations you must make sure to follow the whole time you live in the land that the Lord, the God of your forefathers, has given you to own.
“Pa inge ma sap ac ma oakwuk su kowos in akos ke lusen pacl kowos moul muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lun papa matu tomowos El asot nu suwos.
2 You are to completely destroy all the pagan shrines where the nations you're driving out worshiped their gods: on the top of high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Ke kowos ac lusla mwet in mutunfacl sac, kowos in kunausla acn nukewa ma mwet uh alu nu sin god lalos uh we — fineol uh, fin inging uh, ac ye sak folfol uh.
3 Tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, burn down their Asherah poles, and cut down the idols of their gods. Remove any trace of them from everywhere.
Kunausla loang lalos nukewa, ac fukulya sru eot lalos in muliplipi. Esukak mwe akul nukewa ke Asherah, god mutan lalos, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lalos, tuh mwet uh fah tia ku in sifil alu nu kac fin acn ingan.
4 You are not to worship the Lord your God in the way that they did.
“Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma mwet inge oru ke elos alu nu sin god lalos.
5 No, you must go to the place the Lord your God will choose from the territory of all your tribes to set up a place where he will live with you. That's where you must go.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela sie sin acn inmasrlon sruf nukewa lowos, tuh mwet uh in tuku nu ye mutal ac alu nu sel we.
6 You'll take there your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and all your offerings—your freewill offerings and offerings to fulfill a promise, along with the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
Kowos ac fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya: sie tafu singoul liki ma lowos, ac mwe sang lowos, mwe kite ma kowos wuleang nu sin LEUM GOD kac, mwe kisa ke engan na lun mwet se in oru, ac wounse ke cow ac sheep nutuwos.
7 That's where, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families will eat and celebrate everything you've worked for, because the Lord your God has blessed you.
Na ingo, ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos su akinsewowoye kowos, kowos ac sou lowos fah mongo ac engankin orekma wo kowos orala.
8 You're not to do like we're doing here today. At the moment everyone does what they think is right,
“In pacl sac, kowos in tia oru oana kowos oru meet ah. Nwe ke pacl se inge kowos nukewa alu oana lungse lowos,
9 because you haven't arrived in the land you will own that the Lord your God is giving you and where you will be at peace.
mweyen kowos soenna ilyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, yen kowos ac mutana we in misla.
10 After you cross the Jordan and settle down in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to possess, and he lets you rest from fighting all your enemies and you live in safety,
Ke pacl se kowos ac fah alukela Infacl Jordan, LEUM GOD El ac lela kowos in eis facl sac ac muta we. El ac fah karingin kowos liki mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa, ac kowos fah muta in misla.
11 then the Lord your God will choose a place where he will live with you. That's where you are to bring everything I've order you to do—your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and freewill offerings, and all the special gifts you promise to give to the Lord.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela siena acn kowos in alu nu sel we, na ingo kowos ac fah use nu yorol ma nukewa ma nga sapkin: mwe kisa firir lowos ac oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya, sie tafu singoul lowos, mwe sang lowos, ac mwe kite mutal lowos ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD.
12 You will celebrate there in the presence of the Lord your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites living in your towns, because they don't have any share in the allotment of land.
Kowos in engan we ye mutal, wi tulik nutuwos, mwet kulansap lowos, ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos. Esam lah wangin acn lun mwet Levi sifacna.
13 Make sure you don't present your burnt offerings just anywhere you want.
Kowos fah tia oru mwe kisa lowos ke acn kowos sifacna sulela;
14 You are to offer them only in the place the Lord will choose in the territory of one of your tribes. That's where you are to do everything that I order you to do.
a kowos fah oru ke acn sefanna ma LEUM GOD El sulela: sie acn ke sie sin sruf lowos. Acn sac mukena pa kowos fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, ac oru pac ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos.
15 Of course you can slaughter and eat meat wherever you are, anytime you want, depending on how much the Lord your God has blessed you. All of you, whether you're ceremonially clean or not, can it eat it just like you would a gazelle or a deer,
“Tusruktu kowos sukosok in uniya ac kang kosro nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we. Kowos ku in kang pisa na kowos lungse, fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos. Kowos nukewa — mwet ma aknasnasyeyukla ac mwet ma tia aknasnasyeyukla — ku in kang, oana ke kowos kang ikwen deer ku antelope.
16 but you are not to eat the blood—pour that out on the ground.
Tusruktu kowos fah tiana kang srah kac uh. Kowos fah okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
17 In your towns you must not eat the tithe of your grain or new wine or olive oil, the firstborn of your herds or flocks, any of the offerings that you give to fulfill a promise, your freewill offerings, or your special gifts.
Nimet kang kutena ma kowos kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD ke acn kowos muta we — tia mwe sang ke sie tafu singoul ke wheat lowos, wain lowos, ku oil in olive lowos; tia pac wounsien cow ac sheep nutuwos, ku mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD, ku mwe sang kowos oru ke engan na lowos in oru, ku kutena mwe sang saya.
18 No, you must eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose— you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites living in your towns. Celebrate in the presence of the Lord your God in everything you do,
Kowos ac tulik nutuwos, wi mwet kulansap lowos ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos, fah mongo ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos mukena, in acn in alu se na ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela. Ac kowos in engan we ke orekma nukewa ma kowos orala.
19 and make sure you don't forget about the Levites as the whole time you live in your land.
Esam pac in tia pilesru mwet Levi ke lusenna pacl kowos muta in fahl suwos.
20 When the Lord your God gives you more land as he promised, and you feel like some meat, and say, “I want to have some meat,” you may can it whenever you want.
“Ke pacl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik acn suwos uh, oana ke El tuh wulela kac, kowos ku in mongo ikwa ke pacl na kowos lungse.
21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to live with you is a long way away, then you can slaughter any animal from the herd or flock he has given you, following the regulations I have given you, and you can eat it in your town whenever you want.
Fin acn in alu sac arulana loesla, na kutena pacl ma kowos lungse, kowos ku in uniya soko sin cow ku sheep ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos, ac kowos ku in kang ikwa kac in acn suwos, oana ke nga tuh fahk nu suwos.
22 In fact you can eat it like you would eat a gazelle or deer—whether you're ceremonially clean or not, you can eat it.
Kutena mwet — elos su aknasnasyeyukla ku elos su tia nasnasyeyukla — ku in kang ikwa inge, oana ke el kang ikwen deer ku antelope.
23 Just make sure you don't eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
Ma sefanna, nimet kang ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac, mweyen moul uh oasr ke srah uh, na kowos fah tia kang moul sac wi ikwa sac.
24 You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground.
Nimet orekmakin srah nu ke mwe mongo, a okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
25 Don't eat it, so that all will go well with you and your children, because you will be doing what is right in the Lord's sight.
Kowos in tia kang srah, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD.
26 Take your holy sacrifices and the offerings to fulfill your vows and go to the place the Lord will choose.
Kowos in us mwe sang lowos ac mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu ke acn in alu sefanna ma LEUM GOD El fah sulela.
27 Present your burnt offerings, the meat and blood, on the altar of the Lord your God. The blood of your other sacrifices is to be poured out beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you are allowed to eat the meat.
Kisakin ingo mwe kisa ma enenu in firirla nufon fin loang lun LEUM GOD. Oayapa mwe kisa su kowos ac kang ikwa kac uh ac okoala srah kac fin loang uh.
28 Make sure you obey everything I'm commanding you, so that it may always go well with you and your children, because you will be following what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.
Oaru in akos ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos, ac ma nukewa fah wo nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ac ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD lowos.
29 When the Lord your God destroys the nations ahead of you as you enter the country to possess, and you drive them out and settle down in their land,
“LEUM GOD lowos fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa kowos fah mweuni, ac kowos ac fah eis facl selos ac oakwuki we.
30 make sure you don't fall into the trap of following their ways after they have been destroyed right in front of you. Don't try and find out about their gods, asking, “I wonder how these people worship their gods? I'll do like they did.”
Tukun LEUM GOD El kunausla mutunfacl inge, na kowos in arulana karinganang tuh kowos in tia sruhfla ke alu lalos. Kowos in tia srike in konauk lah elos alu fuka nu sin god lalos tuh kowos in etaelos.
31 You must not worship the Lord your God like this, because when they worship their gods they do every kind of abominable thing that the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods!
Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma elos alu nu sin god lalos, tuh ke elos alu nu sin god lalos elos oru ma nukewa ma srungayuk yurin LEUM GOD. Elos kisakin pac tulik natulos in e fin loang lalos.
32 Be careful to do everything I order you to do. Don't add or take away anything from these instructions.
“Oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos. Nimet laesla kutena ma nu kac, ku eisla kutena ma liki.
