< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
“LEUM GOD lowos El fah uskowosla nu in facl se su kowos ac oakwuki we, ac El ac fah lusak mutunfacl puspis liki acn we. Ke kowos ac apkuranyang nu we, El ac fah lusak mutunfacl itkosr su yohk liki kowos ac ku liki kowos: mwet Hit, mwet Girgash, mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus.
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
Ke LEUM GOD lowos El ac eisaloswot nu inpouwos ac kowos kutangulosla, kowos in onelosla nukewa. Nik kowos orek kupasr yorolos ku pakomutalos.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Nik kowos payuk sin kutena selos, ac nik kowos fuhlela wen ac acn nutuwos in payuk sin kutena selos.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
Mweyen elos ac mau furokla tulik nutuwos an liki LEUM GOD in alu nu sin god ngia. Fin sikyak ouiya se inge, LEUM GOD El ac kasrkusrakak suwos ac sikikowosla pacl sefanna.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Ke ma inge, kowos in kunausya loang lalos, ac fukulya sru eot mutal selos, pakiya ma akilenyen god mutan Asherah, ac esukak ma sruloala lalos.
6 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
Oru ma inge mweyen kowos mutanfahl mutal lun LEUM GOD lowos. Inmasrlon mwet fin faclu nufon, El sulekowosla in mwet saok lal sifacna.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:
“LEUM GOD El tia lungse kowos ac sulekowosla ke sripen kowos pus liki mutunfacl ngia — kowos pa mutunfacl se ma srik oemeet fin faclu.
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El lungse kowos ac kena in karinganang wulela ma El tuh orala yurin papa matu tomowos, pa sis El tuh molikowosla ke ku lulap lal, ac aksukosokye kowos liki moul in kohs lowos ye poun tokosra lun Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El mukena pa God, ac El oaru. El ac fah liyaung wulela lal, ac fahkak lungse kawil lal nu sin tausin fwil selos su lungse El ac akos ma sap lal.
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Tusruktu El ac tia pahtlac in kalyaelos su srungal.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Ke ma inge, akos ma lutiyuk nu suwos. Akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma nga asot nu suwos misenge.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
“Kowos fin porongo ma sap inge ac oaru in akos, na LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah karinganang na wulela lal nu suwos, ac fahkak lungse kawil lal nu suwos, oana El tuh wuleang nu sin papa matu tomowos meet ah.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
El fah lungse kowos ac akinsewowoye kowos, na kowos fah puseni ac oasr tulik puspis nutuwos. El ac akinsewowoye ima lowos in pus wheat, wain, ac oil in olive; ac El ac fah akpusye cow ac sheep nutuwos. El ac fah asot nu suwos mwe insewowo inge nu kewa in facl se ma El tuh wulela nu sin papa matu tomowos mu El ac sot nu suwos.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Wangin mutunfacl fin faclu ac fah insewowo yohk liki kowos. Wangin suwos, mukul ku mutan ku kosro nutuwos, ac fah talap.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
LEUM GOD El ac fah kosrala liki kowos kain in mas nukewa, ac kowos fah tia sifil maskin kutena mas upa ma kowos tuh pula in acn Egypt, tusruktu El ac fah sang mas inge nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
Kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu inpouwos, ac nik kowos pakomutalos. Nik kowos alu nu ke god lalos, tuh ma inge oana sie mwe kwasrip nu suwos.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations [are] more than I; how can I dispossess them?
“Nik kowos sifacna nunku mu mwet inge elos pus liki kowos, ac kowos tia ku in luselosla.
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Nimet sangeng selos. Esam ma LEUM GOD lowos El tuh oru nu sin tokosra lun acn Egypt ac mwet lal nukewa.
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Esam mwe lokoalok yohk ma kowos tuh sifacna liye ke motowos, ac mwenmen ac ma usrnguk ac ku lulap su LEUM GOD lowos El aksukosokyekowosla kac. In ouiya se na ma El tuh kunausla mwet Egypt, El ac kunausla mwet nukewa su kowos sangeng se inge.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
El ac oayapa akfohsyauk mwet lokoalok lowos, ac El ac fah kunauselosla su kaing in wikwik.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Ouinge, nimet sangeng sin mwet inge. LEUM GOD lowos El wi kowos. El sie God fulat, su fal mwet uh in sangeng se.
22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
El ac fah kais kutu srisrik lihs mutanfahl inge ye motowos. Kowos ac fah tia ku in kunauselosla nukewa pacl sefanna, mweyen kowos fin oru ouinge, kosro lemnak uh ac mau puseni, na ac fah sie mwe sensen lulap nu suwos.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
LEUM GOD El ac fah asot mwet lokoalok lowos nu inpouwos, ac akfohsyalosyak nwe ke elos kunausyukla.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
El ac fah sot tokosra lalos nu inpouwos. Kowos ac fah onelosi, ac elos ac fah mulkinyukla. Wangin mwet fah ku in sikulkowosi. Kowos ac fah onelosla nukewa.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Esukak ma sruloala lalos. Nik kowos mwel silver ku gold ma oan kac, ku eis lowos. Kowos fin oru, kowos ku in sruhfla kac, mweyen LEUM GOD El kwase ma inge.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
Nik kowos use kutena sin ma srungayuk inge nu in lohm suwos, tuh selnga se ma oan faclos ac oan fowos. Kowos in arulana srunga ac kwase ma sruloala inge, mweyen LEUM GOD El selngawi ma inge.
