Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or lamb, whereon there is a blemish, any thing evil; for it is an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
“Nimet kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kutena cow ku sheep ma oasr kutena ma koluk ke mano. Ma inge mwe srungayuk sel.
2 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any one of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee. a man or a woman, that doth the wickedness in the eyes of the Lord thy God, to transgress his covenant,
“Kowos fin lohng lah oasr in sie sin siti suwos, sie mwet — mukul ku mutan — su orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac kunausla wuleang lal
3 And he hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have prohibited;
ke el alu ku orekma nu sin god saya, ku nu ke faht, malem ku itu, ac ma inge lain ma sap lun LEUM GOD.
4 And it be told thee, and thou hearest of it: then shalt thou inquire diligently; and, behold, if it be true, the thing is certain, such abomination hath been wrought in Israel:
Kowos fin lohng kain in pweng inge, kowos sokak akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak in Israel,
5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have committed this wicked thing, unto thy gates, the man or the woman, and thou shalt stone them with stones till they die.
na usla mwet sac nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.
6 Upon the evidence of two witnesses, or of three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; he shall not be put to death upon the evidence of one witness.
Tusruktu, el ac anwuki fin oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, su lainul; el fah tia anwuki fin oasr mwet loh sefanna.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people at the last; and thou shalt put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Mwet loh inge pa ac tanglal meet uh, toko na mwet ngia fah wi tanglal. Pa inge ma ac oru lumah koluk se inge in wanginla.
8 If a matter be unknown to thee for decision, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between bodily injury and injury, [or] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose;
“Kutu pacl uh, ac upa nu sin mwet nununku in sie siti in orala wotela lalos in konauk ma pwaye ke kain in sripa inge: suwohs ke ma lun mwet ke acn, ku ke musalla lun mano, ku ke misa se lah ma ke ongla ouiya ku akmas akola se. Pacl lumah ouinge sikyak, kowos in som nu ke acn in alu se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela kowos in alu we,
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge that may be in those days, and thou shalt inquire, and they shall inform thee of the sentence of the case;
ac sang sripa lowos nu sin mwet Levi su mwet tol, ac nu sin mwet nununku se su orekma in pacl sac, elos in wotela.
10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they may tell thee from that place which the Lord will choose, and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they may instruct thee;
Elos ac orala wotela lalos, na kowos fah oru oana ma elos fahk.
11 In accordance with the instruction which they may instruct thee, and according to the decision which they may say unto thee, shalt thou do: thou shalt not depart from the sentence which they may tell thee, to the right, or to the left.
Kowos in insese nu ke konauk lalos, ac fahsr fal nu ke ma nukewa elos sapkin.
12 And the man that will act presumptuously, so as not to hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
Kutena mwet su seakos ma mwet nununku sac ku mwet tol se su orekma ke pacl sacn wotela uh, fah anwuki. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki Israel.
13 And all the people shall hear, and be afraid, and not act presumptuously any more.
Mwet nukewa fah lohng kac ac sangengla, na wangin mwet ac sifil pulaik in oru lumah inge.
14 When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and thou hast taken possession of it, and dwellest therein, and thou sayest, I wish to set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me:
“Tukun kowos ac eisla facl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac sot nu suwos ac kowos oakwuki tari we, na kowos ac lungse in oasr sie tokosra lowos, in oana mutunfacl nukewa su raunikowosla.
15 Then mayest thou indeed set a king over thee, the one whom the Lord thy God will choose; [but] from the midst of thy brethren shalt thou set a king over thee; thou mayest not set over thee a stranger, who is not thy brother.
Karinganang tuh mwet se kowos ac sulela in tokosra elan mwet se ma LEUM GOD El sulela. El enenu elan siena sin mwet Israel wiowos. Nik kowos oru sie mwetsac in tokosra lowos.
16 Only he shall not acquire for himself many horses; so that he may not cause the people to return to Egypt, in order to acquire many horses; whereas the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth not return on that way any more.
Tia enenu in pukanten horse nutin un mwet mweun lal tokosra, ac elan tia supwala mwet nu Egypt in moul horse we, mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk tari mu mwet lal in tia sifil folok nu we.
17 Neither shall he take to himself many wives, that his heart may not turn away; nor shall he acquire for himself too much silver and gold.
In tia pus mutan kien tokosra, mweyen elos ac ku in kifasulla liki LEUM GOD; ac elan tia sifacna akkasrupyal ke silver ac gold.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests, the Levites;
Pacl se el ac tokosrala, enenu in oasr yorol sie ma simusla ke book in ma sap ac kas in luti lun God, ma simla oana book limlim emeet ah ma karinginyuk sin mwet tol Levi.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: in order that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them.
Book se inge elan karingin in oanna siskal, ac elan riti in moul lal nufon tuh elan lutlut in arulana akfulatye LEUM GOD, ac in oaru in akos ma nukewa ma sapkinyuk loac.
20 So that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and so that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right, or to the left: in order that he may live many days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Ma inge ac fah oru elan tia nunku mu el wo liki mwet Israel wial, oayapa elan tia seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD in kutena ouiya. Na el fah leum ke yac puspis, ac fwilin tulik natul ac fah leumi Israel ke fwil puspis tokol.
