Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances which I teach you to do; in order that ye may live, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, giveth unto 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 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, nor shall ye diminish aught from it; that ye 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 own eyes have seen that which the Lord hath done because of Baal-peor; for every man that followed Baal-peor, him the Lord thy God hath destroyed from the midst of thee.
Kowos sifacna liye ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru Fineol Peor. El onelosla nukewa su alu nu sel Baal we,
4 But ye 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 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, just as the Lord my God commanded me; that ye may do so in the midst of the land whither ye go to take possession of 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 before the eyes of the nations, that shall hear all these statutes, and they will say, Nothing but a wise and understanding people is this great nation.
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 great nation is there that hath gods so nigh unto it, as is the Lord our God at all times that we call upon him.
“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 great nation is there that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as is all this law, which I lay 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 thyself, and guard thy soul diligently, that thou do not forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and that they depart not from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons, and unto thy 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 The day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God at Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Assemble for me the people, and I will cause them to hear my words, which they shall learn, to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and which they shall 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 ye came near and stood at the foot of the mount; and the mount was burning with fire unto the midst of the heaven, [from amidst] 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; the sound of words ye heard, but any similitude ye saw not: there was nothing but a sound.
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 told unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, the 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 me the Lord commanded at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye 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 ye therefore good heed of your souls; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spoke unto you at 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 That ye become not corrupt, and make yourselves a graven image, the similitude of any idol-figure, the likeness of a male or of a 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 flieth in the air of heaven,
kosro ku won sohksok,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth;
ma orakrak ku ik.
19 And that thou lift not up thy eyes unto the heavens, and thou see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be misled to bow down to them, and to serve them, those which the Lord thy God hath assigned 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 you did the Lord take, and he brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto you a people of inheritance, as ye 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 Farthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and he swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee 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 For I must die in this land; I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye will go over and take possession of this 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, that ye do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.
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 thy God is a consuming fire; yea, a watchful God.
mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El oana sie e firir; El tia lungse in oasr kutena god sayal.
25 When thou begettest children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and ye become corrupt, and make a graven image, the likeness of any thing, and do the evil in the eyes of the Lord thy 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 this day the heavens and the earth to witness against you, that ye shall soon perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not remain many days upon it, but ye shall surely 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 will scatter you among the nations, and ye will be left few in number among the nations, whither the Lord will lead you.
LEUM GOD El ac fah akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl saya, yen mwet na pu suwos ac painmoulla.
28 And ye will serve there gods, the work of man's hands, wood and stone, which neither can 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 thou wilt seek from there the Lord thy God, and wilt find him, if thou apply to him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Kowos ac fah suk LEUM GOD lowos we, ac kowos fin sokol ke insiowos nufon, kowos fah konalak.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have overtaken thee, in the latter end of days: then wilt thou return to the Lord thy God, and 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 a merciful God is the Lord thy God; he will not forsake thee, nor destroy thee; and he will not forget the covenant of thy fathers which he hath sworn 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 do but ask of former days, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been the like of this great thing, or whether the like of it hath been heard.
“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 Hath ever a people heard the voice of a god, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and remained alive?
Ya nu oasr mwet moul na tukun elos lohng sie god sramsram nu selos liki sie e, oana kowos?
34 Or hath a god essayed to go to take himself a nation from the midst of a nation, by proofs, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, like all that which the Lord your God hath done for you in Egypt before thy 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 thee it was shown, that thou mightest know, that the Eternal is the God: there is none else besides 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 the heavens he caused thee to hear his voice, to correct thee: and upon the earth he caused thee to see his great fire; and his words didst thou hear 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 therefore, because he loved thy fathers, he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his presence 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 greater and mightier than thou art, from before thee, to bring thee in, to give unto thee 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 reflect in thy heart, that the Eternal is the God in the heavens 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 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee; and that thou mayest live many days upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for all times.
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 set aside three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun;
Na Moses el srela tolu siti kutulap in Infacl Jordan
42 That thither might flee the manslayer, who should kill his neighbor unawares, when he had not been an enemy to him in times past; and that he should flee unto one of these cities and 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 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gil'ad for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Menassites.
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 ordinances, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, when 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 of the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-peor, in the land of Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, 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 took possession of his land, and of the land of 'Og the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Emorites, who were on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun;
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 'Aro'er, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Chermon,
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 of the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the declivities of Pisgah.
ac sisani acn nukewa kutulap in Infacl Jordan som eir lac nu ke Meoa Misa, ac nu kutulap nu pe Eol Pisgah.
