< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 “When your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, and He has cast out many nations from your presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than you,
“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 your God YHWH has given them before you, then you have struck them—you utterly devote them—you do not make a covenant with them, nor do you favor 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 And you do not join in marriage with them; you do not give your daughter to his son, and you do not take his daughter to your son,
Nik kowos payuk sin kutena selos, ac nik kowos fuhlela wen ac acn nutuwos in payuk sin kutena selos.
4 for he turns aside your son from after Me, and they have served other gods; and the anger of YHWH has burned against you and has destroyed you quickly.
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 you do to them: you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down their Asherim, and you burn their carved 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 you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH; your God YHWH has fixed on you, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
Oru ma inge mweyen kowos mutanfahl mutal lun LEUM GOD lowos. Inmasrlon mwet fin faclu nufon, El sulekowosla in mwet saok lal sifacna.
7 YHWH has delighted in you and fixes on you, not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples, for you [are] the least of all the peoples,
“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 of YHWH’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He has sworn to your fathers; YHWH has brought you out by a strong hand, and ransoms you from a house of servants, 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 And you have known that He, your God YHWH, [is] God, the faithful God keeping the covenant and the kindness with those loving Him and with those keeping His commands, for one 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 repaying to those hating Him to their face, to destroy them; He does not delay to him who is hating Him, He repays [it] to him to his face.
Tusruktu El ac tia pahtlac in kalyaelos su srungal.
11 And you have kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding you today to do them.
Ke ma inge, akos ma lutiyuk nu suwos. Akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma nga asot nu suwos misenge.
12 And it has been, because you hear these judgments, and have kept and done them, that your God YHWH has kept the covenant and the kindness with you which He has sworn to your 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 has loved you, and blessed you, and multiplied you, and has blessed the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, on the ground which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you.
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 Blessed are you above all the peoples; there is not a barren man or a barren woman in you—nor among your livestock;
Wangin mutunfacl fin faclu ac fah insewowo yohk liki kowos. Wangin suwos, mukul ku mutan ku kosro nutuwos, ac fah talap.
15 and YHWH has turned aside every sickness from you, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which you have known) does He put on you, and He has put them on all hating you.
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 you have consumed all the peoples whom your God YHWH is giving to you; your eye has no pity on them, and you do not serve their gods, for it [is] a snare to you.
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 When you say in your heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them?
“Nik kowos sifacna nunku mu mwet inge elos pus liki kowos, ac kowos tia ku in luselosla.
18 You are not afraid of them; you surely remember that which your God YHWH has done to Pharaoh and to all of 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 trials which your eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the outstretched arm, with which your God YHWH has brought you out; so does your God YHWH do to all the peoples of whose presence you are 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 And your God YHWH also sends the locust among them, until the destruction of those who are left, even those who are hidden from your presence;
El ac oayapa akfohsyauk mwet lokoalok lowos, ac El ac fah kunauselosla su kaing in wikwik.
21 you are not terrified by their presence, for your God YHWH [is] in your midst, a God great and fearful.
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 your God YHWH has cast out these nations from your presence little [by] little (you are not able to consume them quickly, lest the beast of the field multiplies against you),
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 and your God YHWH has given them before you, and confused them [with] a great destruction until their being destroyed;
LEUM GOD El ac fah asot mwet lokoalok lowos nu inpouwos, ac akfohsyalosyak nwe ke elos kunausyukla.
24 and He has given their kings into your hand, and you have destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man stations himself in your presence until you 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 You burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you do not desire the silver and gold on them, nor have you taken [it] for yourself, lest you are snared by it, for it [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH;
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 and you do not bring in an abomination to your house, or you have been devoted like it—you utterly detest it and you utterly abhor it; for it [is] devoted.”
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.
