Deuteronomy 9

1 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

“Mwet Israel, kowos in porongo! Misenge kowos ac fahsr alukela Infacl Jordan ac eis acn sin mutunfacl ma yohk liki kowos ac ku liki kowos. Siti selos arulana yohk, ac pot kac uh fulat nwe lucng.

2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?"

Mwet we uh mwet na loeska ac fokoko. Elos ma nutin mwet Anak su mwet na yohk pisa, ac kowos lohng kaclos lah wangin mwet ku in lainulos.

3 Know therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.

Tusruktu inge kowos ac fah sifacna liye lah LEUM GOD lowos El ac fahsr meet liki kowos oana sie e na ngeng. El ac kutangulosla ke kowos fahsryak nu we, na kowos ac ukwalosyak ac sa na kunauselosla, oana El wulela.

4 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land"; because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

“Tukun LEUM GOD lowos El luselosla keiwos, kowos in tia nunku mu El uskowosme ac sot lowos acn se inge ke sripen kowos mwet suwohs. Mo. LEUM GOD El ac lusla mwet inge keiwos mweyen elos mwet koluk.

5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Tia mweyen kowos wo ac oru ma suwohs pa El lela nu suwos in eis acn selos. El ac luselosla mweyen elos koluk, ac mweyen El kena akpwayeye wuleang lal ma El tuh oru nu sin papa matu tomowos — Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.

6 Know therefore, that the LORD your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

Kowos in arulana etu lah LEUM GOD El tia sot lowos acn wowo se inge mweyen kowos pa fal in eis. Mo, kowos mwet likkeke.

7 Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.

“Nimet mulkunla ke kowos tuh oru LEUM GOD lowos El kasrkusrak yen mwesis. Mutawauk oe ke len se kowos illa liki acn Egypt nwe ke len se kowos sun acn inge, kowos nuna utuk nunak lainul.

8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.

Finne ke Eol Sinai, kowos tuh akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD— lupan kasrkusrak lal fal na in anwuki kowos.

9 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

Nga utyak nu fineol ah in eis eot tupasrpasr ma wuleang inmasrlowos ac LEUM GOD tuh simla fac. Nga tuh muta we len angngaul ac fong angngaul, ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma.

10 The LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

Na LEUM GOD El ase nu sik eot tupasrpasr luo su El sifacna simusla fac ke kufinpaol ma El tuh fahk nu suwos liki e sac ke len se ma kowos tuh tukeni pe eol soko ah.

11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.

Aok, tukun len angngaul ac fong angngaul, LEUM GOD El ase nu sik eot tupasrpasr luo ma El simusla wuleang lal fac.

12 The LORD said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."

“Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Sulaklak tufokla, mweyen mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos oru ma na koluk. Elos forla liki ma nga sapkin nu selos, ac orala sie ma sruloela nu selos sifacna.’

13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:

“LEUM GOD El oayapa fahk nu sik, ‘Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.

14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."

Nimet srike in kutongyuwi. Nga akoo in kunauselosla tuh in wangin mwet fah sifil esamulos nwe tok. Na nga fah oru tuh fwilin tulik nutum in sie mutunfacl yohk ac ku lukelos.’

15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

“Na nga forla ac fani liki eol uh, ac nga us inpouk eot tupasrpasr luo ma simla wuleang uh fac. In pacl sac e na lulap se firirrir fineol uh.

16 I looked, and look, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

Nga liye lah kowos seakos tari sap lun LEUM GOD nu suwos, ac kowos orekma koluk lainul ke kowos sifacna orala sie ma sruloela osra nu suwos in luman soko cow mukul.

17 I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

Ke ma inge, nga sisya eot tupasrpasr uh nu infohk uh ye motowos, na fokelik nu ke ip srisrik.

18 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Na nga sifil oankiyuki ye mutun LEUM GOD ke len angngaul ac fong angngaul, ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma. Nga oru ouinge mweyen kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac akkasrkusrakyal.

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.

Nga tuh sangeng ke mulat upa lun LEUM GOD, mweyen lupan kasrkusrak lal fal na in kunauskowosla; tusruktu LEUM GOD El sifilpa porongeyu.

20 The LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sel Aaron ac oru Elan unilya, ouinge nga pre pac kacl Aaron in pacl sac pac.

21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

Nga eisla ma koluk se kowos orala — cow mukul osra soko ah — ac sisang nu in e uh. Na nga fukulya ac ililya in mwesri, ac sisla kutkut uh nu luin infacl soko ma soror fineol uh me.

22 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.

“Kowos tuh oayapa akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD lowos ke pacl se kowos muta in acn Taberah, Massah, ac Kibroth Hattaavah.

23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.

Oayapa ke pacl se El supwekowosla liki Kadesh Barnea ac sap kowos in som ac eisla facl se ma El asot nu suwos, a kowos utuk nunak lainul. Kowos tiana lulalfongel ku aksol.

24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

Kowos nuna utuk nunak na lain LEUM GOD oe ke nga tufahna etekowosla ah.

25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

Ouinge nga oankiyuki ye mutun LEUM GOD ke len angngaul ac fong angngaul mweyen nga etu lah El akoo in kunauskowosla.

26 I prayed to God, and said, "Lord GOD, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Ac nga pre, ‘O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nimet kunausla mwet lom inge, su kom molelosla ac usalosme liki facl Egypt ke ku lulap lom.

27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

Esamul Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, mwet kulansap lom, ac nimet lohang nu ke likkeke, kutasrik ac orekma koluk lun mwet inge.

28 lest the land you brought us out from say, 'Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.'

Kom fin kunausla mwet lom, na mwet Egypt uh ac fahk mu kom kofla usla mwet lom nu in facl se kom tuh wulela nu selos kac. Elos ac fahk mu kom usla mwet lom nu yen mwesis in onelosi we, mweyen kom srungalos.

29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."

Pwayeiya uh, mwet inge pa kom tuh sulela in ma lom, ac su kom usalosme liki Egypt ke po kulana lom!
