Deuteronomy 23
1 No man whose genitals have been damaged or cut off is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
“Wangin sie mukul su twatala, ku sie su laslasla ma mukul lal fah oaoa mu el sie sin un mwet lun LEUM GOD.
2 No one of mixed race is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, and none of his descendants may do so either, up to the tenth generation.
“Wangin temti, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natul nu ke fwil aksingoul, fah ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, up to the tenth generation.
“Wangin mwet Amon ku mwet Moab, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natulos nwe ke fwil aksingoul, ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD,
4 For they did not come to meet you with food and water on your journey from Egypt, and they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you.
mweyen elos tuh srunga kite kowos mwe mongo ac kof ke fufahsryesr lowos ke kowos ilme liki facl Egypt, ac elos moleang nu sel Balaam wen natul Beor, liki siti Pethor in acn Mesopotamia, elan selngawi kowos.
5 But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. The Lord your God turned what was meant to be a curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD lowos El tia porongal Balaam, a El ekulla mwe selnga sac nu ke sie mwe insewowo, ke sripen El lungse kowos.
6 Don't arrange a peace treaty with them or help them out as long as you live.
Ke lusen pacl kowos oaoa in sie mutunfacl, kowos in tia oru kutena ma in kasru mutunfacl luo inge, ku oru elos in kapkapak.
7 Don't look down on an Edomite, for they are your relatives. Don't look down on an Egyptian either, because you lived as foreigners in their country.
“Nimet srunga mwet Edom, mweyen elos sou lowos. Oayapa nimet srunga mwet Egypt, mweyen sie pacl ah kowos tuh muta fin acn selos.
8 The third generation of their children are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
Mutawauk ke fwil se aktolu me, fwilin tulik natulos ac ku in oaoayang nu inmasrlon mwet lun LEUM GOD.
9 When you are in an army camp during a war with your enemies, make sure you avoid anything wrong.
“Ke pacl kowos mutangan aktuktuk ke pacl in mweun uh, kowos fah karingin kowos liki kutena ouiya fohkfok.
10 Any man there who becomes unclean because of a release of semen must leave the camp and remain outside.
Mukul se fin tia nasnas ke sripen el sororia ke mweme koluk lal ke fong, el enenu in illa liki nien aktuktuk ac muta lik ah.
11 Towards the end of the day he must wash himself with water, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
Ke apkuran ekela ke len tok ah el fah oululla, ac ke faht uh tili el ku in foloko nu in nien aktuktuk uh.
12 Choose a place outside the camp to be used as a toilet.
“Akola sie acn likin nien aktuktuk in orekmakin oana sie nien fahsr.
13 You need to have a spade as part of your equipment so that you can dig a hole, and then when you're finished you can cover up your excrement.
Us soko sak in pukpuk wi kom, tuh ke pacl se kom enenu in fahsr tok, kom fah pukanak sie luf ac afinya.
14 The Lord your God is present with you in your camp to keep you safe and to defeat your enemies. Your camp must be kept holy, because if he sees anything unclean among you and he will leave you.
Liyaung tuh nien aktuktuk suwos in nasnas pacl nukewa, mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El wi kowos in nien aktuktuk suwos, in loange kowos ac sot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet lokoalok lowos. Kowos in tia oru kutena lumah fohkfok ma ac pwanang LEUM GOD lowos Elan forla liki kowos.
15 Don't send a slave back to their master if they have come to you for protection.
“Fin oasr mwet kohs kaingla liki mwet kacto lalos ac tuku nu yuruwos tuh kowos in loangelosla, nik kowos folokunulosla.
16 Let the slave live in your country wherever they want, in whatever town they want. Don't mistreat them.
Elos ku in muta in kutena siti suwos ma elos sulela, ac kowos in tia sulallal nu selos.
17 No Israelite women or men are to be cult prostitutes.
“Wangin mwet Israel, mukul ku mutan, fah orek kosro in eis moul kac oana ma mwet pegan elos oru in tempul lalos.
18 Don't bring into the house of the Lord your God any money from a prostitute, whether a woman or a man, using it to fulfill a promise to the Lord, for both are offensive to the Lord your God.
Oayapa, wangin mani kowos eis ke ouiya se inge fah utuku nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD lowos in akfalye sie wuleang. LEUM GOD El srunga mwet su muta in nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kosro in eis moul kac.
19 Don't charge a fellow Israelite interest on money, food, or any other kind of loan.
“Pacl se kom sang mani, ku mwe mongo ku kutena ma, nu sin sie mwet Israel wiom, kom in tia eis ma laesla.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not an Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do in the country that you are going in to occupy.
Kom ku in siyuk ma laesla ke ma kom sang nu sin sie mwetsac, a tia ke ma kom sang nu sin mwet Israel wiom. Akos oakwuk se inge, ac LEUM GOD lom fah akinsewowoye ma nukewa kom oru fin facl se ma kom ac utyak ac oakwuki we.
21 If you make a promise to the Lord your God, don't be slow in keeping it, because he will definitely demand that you fulfill it and you will be guilty of sin if you don't.
“Ke kom oru sie wulela ku nu sin LEUM GOD lom, nik kom pahtlac in akfalye ma kom wulela kac. LEUM GOD El ac soano tuh kom in akfalye wuleang lom. Kom fin tia akfalyela, kom orekma koluk.
22 If you don't make such promises then you won't be guilty of sin.
Tia ma koluk se kom fin tia orek wulela nu sin LEUM GOD,
23 But make sure to carry out what you've said to the Lord your God, because it was you who freely chose to make such a promise.
tusruktu kom fin sifacna lungse oru sie wuleang, esam na lah kom enenu na in akfalye.
24 When you walk through your neighbor's vineyard, you can eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not collect any to take with you.
“Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in grape lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang grape uh ke na lungse lom. Tusruktu kom fin illa liki, nimet us kutena grape ke mwe neinyuk lom.
25 When you walk through your neighbor's grainfield, you may pick the ears of grain with your hand, but you must not use a sickle to harvest it.
Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in wheat lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang kutena fiten wheat ma kom olela ke poum, tusruktu kom fah tia sang mitmit nutum an pakela wheat an.
