< Deuteronomy 4 >
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, in order to do them, that all of you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers gives 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 All of you shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall all of you diminish ought from it, that all of you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command 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 because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.
Kowos sifacna liye ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru Fineol Peor. El onelosla nukewa su alu nu sel Baal we,
4 But all of you that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
a kowos nukewa su inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kowos srakna moul nwe misenge.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that all of you should do so in the land where all of you go to possess it.
“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 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear 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 there so great, who has God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
“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 there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Wangin kutena mutunfacl, finne yohk, oasr ma sap lalos arulana suwohs, oana ma sap nga luti nu suwos misenge.
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons' sons;
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 Specially the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach 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 And all of you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick 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 unto you out of the midst of the fire: all of you heard the voice of the words, but saw no embodiment; only all of you heard 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 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables 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 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that all of you might do them in the land where all of you go over to possess it.
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 Take all of you therefore good heed unto yourselves; for all of you saw no manner of embodiment on the day that the LORD spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
“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 Lest all of you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the embodiment of any figure, the likeness of 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 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,
kosro ku won sohksok,
18 The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
ma orakrak ku ik.
19 And lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided unto all nations under the whole 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 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as all of you are this day.
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 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for 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 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but all of you shall go over, and possess 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 Take heed unto yourselves, lest all of you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD your God 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, even a jealous God.
mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El oana sie e firir; El tia lungse in oasr kutena god sayal.
25 When you shall brought forth children, and children's children, and all of you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke 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 to witness against you this day, that all of you shall soon utterly perish from off the land unto which all of you go over Jordan to possess it; all of you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be 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 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and all of you shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you.
LEUM GOD El ac fah akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl saya, yen mwet na pu suwos ac painmoulla.
28 And there all of you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor 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 thence you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall 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 tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient unto 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 forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore unto them.
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 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
“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 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Ya nu oasr mwet moul na tukun elos lohng sie god sramsram nu selos liki sie e, oana kowos?
34 Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that 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 Unto you it was showed, that you might know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
LEUM GOD El fahkak ma inge nu suwos, in akpwaye nu suwos lah El mukena pa God, ac wangin pac sie sayal.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and upon earth he showed you his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst 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 And because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
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 nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land for an 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 consider it in your heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Ke ma inge, misenge kowos in esam ac nimet mulkunla lah LEUM GOD El God lun kusrao ac faclu. Wangin sie god saya.
40 You shall keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days upon the earth, which the LORD your God gives you, for ever.
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 severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
Na Moses el srela tolu siti kutulap in Infacl Jordan
42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unexpectedly, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
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 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of 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 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Moses el sang ma sap lun God nu sin mwet Israel, wi mwe luti saya.
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, after they came forth 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 On this side Jordan, in the valley opposite to Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel stroke, after they were come forth 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 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
Elos eisla acn lal ac acn lal Tokosra Og lun Bashan, sie pac tokosra lun mwet Amor su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which 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 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
ac sisani acn nukewa kutulap in Infacl Jordan som eir lac nu ke Meoa Misa, ac nu kutulap nu pe Eol Pisgah.
