Deuteronomy 11
1 “[Because of all that] Yahweh your God [has done for you], you must love him and continually obey all his rules and regulations and commandments.
“Lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac akos ma sap lal nukewa, in pacl nukewa.
2 It was you and your ancestors, not your children, whom he disciplined [by causing all of you to have/experience difficulties]. So, starting today, continue to think about how very great and very powerful he is [DOU, MTY].
Esamya misenge ma kowos sifacna pulakin ac lotela ke LEUM GOD. Kowos pa tuh pula kaiyuk lal, ac tia tulik nutuwos. Kowos liye lupan fulat lal, ku lal ac wal lal,
3 Think about the various miracles [DOU] that he performed in Egypt. Think about what he did to the king of Egypt and to his country.
ac orekma usrnguk lal. Kowos liye pac ma El tuh oru nu sin tokosra lun Egypt ac nu sin mutunfacl sac nufon.
4 Think about what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots. Think about how he caused the Red Sea to flood/cover over them while they were pursuing your ancestors, and how the army of Egypt was completely (wiped out/destroyed).
Kowos liye ke LEUM GOD El sukela nufon un mwet mweun lun Egypt, wi horse natulos ac chariot okoalos, ac ke El tilmakunulosi in Meoa Srusra ke pacl se elos ukwe kowos.
5 Think about what Yahweh did for your ancestors in the desert before you arrived at this place.
Kowos etu ma LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos yen mwesis meet liki kowos sun acn inge.
6 Think about what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the two sons of Eliab from the tribe of Reuben. While all of your ancestors were watching, the earth split open, and they fell into the opening [and disappeared], along with their families and their tents, their servants, and their animals.
Kowos esam pac ma El tuh oru nu sel Dathan ac Abiram, wen luo natul Eliab ke sruf lal Reuben. Ye mutun mwet nukewa, faclu ikakelik ac okomulosla wi sou lalos, lohm nuknuk selos, mwet kulansap lalos, ac kosro natulos nukewa.
7 You [SYN] and your ancestors have seen all these miracles that Yahweh performed.
Pwaye, kowos pa liye ma yohk inge nukewa ma LEUM GOD El orala.
8 So, obey all the commandments that I am giving you today, in order that you will be strong and able to cross the river and occupy the land that you are about to enter,
“Akos ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos misenge. Na kowos ac fah ku in alukeot Infacl Jordan, ac eis suwos facl se ma kowos apkuran in utyak nu we.
9 and in order that you will live for a long time in that land, the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give to them and to their descendants, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
Na kowos fah ku in moul paht fin facl mut ac kasrup fohk we ma LEUM GOD El wuleang in sang nu sin papa matu tomowos ac filin tulik natulos.
10 The land that you are about to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where your ancestors lived. In Egypt, after they planted seeds, it was necessary for them to work hard [MTY] to water [the plants that grew].
Facl se kowos apkuran in utyak nu we inge tia oana facl Egypt, yen kowos tuh muta we meet ah. Ingo ke kowos yukwiya sacn sunowos, kowos tuh enenu in orekma upa in nweki kof nu inima lowos.
11 But the land that you are about to enter is a land where there are many hills and valleys, where there is plenty of rain.
A facl se kowos apkuran in utyak nu we inge, oasr fineol ac infahlfal we, sie facl aksroksrokyeyuk ke af.
12 Yahweh takes care of that land. He [SYN] watches over it every day, from the beginning of each year to the end of each year.
LEUM GOD lowos El karingin facl se inge ac suiyana, ke mutun yac nwe ke saflaiyen yac.
13 Today I am commanding you to love Yahweh our God and to serve him with your entire inner beings. If you do that,
“Ouinge, kowos in akos ma sap nukewa ma nga sot nu suwos misenge; lungse LEUM GOD lowos ac kulansupwal ke insiowos nufon.
14 each year he will send rain on your land at the (right times/times when it is needed), (in the autumn/at the end of the dry season) and (in the spring/before the next dry season starts). As a result, you will have grain and [grapes to make] wine and [olives to make olive] oil.
Kowos fin oru ouinge, El ac fah supwama af nu fin acn suwos in pacl fal la — af se meet ke pacl in taknelik, ac af se tok ke pacl in kosrani — tuh in oasr wheat, wain, ac oil in olive nu suwos,
15 And he will cause grass to grow in your fields for your livestock [to eat]. You will have all the food that you want.
ac mah nun cow nutuwos. Ac fah oasr kain in mwe mongo puspis nowos.
16 “But I warn you, do not turn away from Yahweh our God and start to worship other gods,
Nimet lela kutena ma in pwenkowosla liki LEUM GOD, ac alu ac orekma nu sin god saya.
17 because if you do that, Yahweh will become very angry with you. He will prevent any rain from falling. As a result, the crops will not grow, and you will soon die [from hunger] in the good land that Yahweh is about to give to you.
Kowos fin oru ouinge, LEUM GOD El ac kasrkusrak suwos, ac sruokya af uh. Na fohk in acn suwos ac fah pulamlamla nu ke ma sunowos, ac kowos ac sa misa we, finne acn na wowo se pa El sot nu suwos inge.
18 So, keep thinking [IDM] about these commands. Write them [on tiny scrolls] and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
“Esam ma sapkakinyuk inge ac aksaokye. Kapriya kas inge ke pouwos ac ke motonsruwos, tuh in mwe akesmakinye kowos.
19 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down at night and when you are getting up in the morning.
Luti nu sin tulik nutuwos. Sramsram kac ke pacl kowos muta in lohm suwos ac ke pacl kowos fufahsryesr, ke pacl kowos mongla ac ke pacl kowos orekma.
20 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Simusla kas inge ke kosrusru in mutunoa ke lohm suwos, ac ke nien utyak lun kalkal lowos.
21 Do that in order that you and your children will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them. That land will belong to you [and your descendants] as long as there is a sky above the earth.
Na kowos, ac tulik nutuwos, ac fah moul paht fin facl se LEUM GOD lowos El wulela kac nu sin papa matu tomowos. Kowos ac muta we ke lusenna pacl acn engyeng uh oan lucng liki faclu.
22 “Faithfully continue to obey what I am commanding you to do—to love Yahweh our God, and to conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
“Kowos in oaru in akos ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos. Lungse LEUM GOD lowos, oru ma nukewa El sapkin, ac kowos in pwayena nu sel.
23 If you do that, Yahweh will expel all the people-groups in that land as you advance, people-groups that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
Na El fah lusla mutunfacl ingo nukewa ke kowos apkuranyang nu we, ac kowos fah eis acn sin mutunfacl ma yohk liki kowos ac ku liki kowos.
24 All the ground [in that land] on which you walk will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert [in the south] to the Lebanon [Mountains in the north], and from the Euphrates River [in the east] to the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west.
Acn nukewa kowos fahla fac ac fah ma lowos. Mutunfacl suwos ac fah mutawauk ke yen mwesis layen eir, nu Fineol Lebanon nukewa layen epang, ac liki Infacl Euphrates layen nu kutulap, nu Meoa Mediterranean layen roto.
25 Yahweh our God will cause all the people in that land to be afraid of you, which is what he promised, with the result that no people-group will be able to stop you.
Yen nukewa kowos ac som nu we in facl sac, LEUM GOD lowos fah oru mwet uh in sangeng suwos, oana ma El tuh wulela kac, na wangin mwet ac fah ku in sikulkowosi.
26 “Listen carefully: Today I am telling you [that Yahweh will either] bless [you or he will] curse you.
“Misenge nga sot nu suwos tuh kowos in sulela inmasrlon mwe insewowo ac mwe selnga.
27 If you obey the commandments of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, he will bless you.
Kowos fin akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD lowos su nga sot nu suwos misenge, na ac fah mwe insewowo nu suwos.
28 If you do not obey them, and if you turn away from him to worship other gods that you have never known about before, he will curse you.
A kowos fin tia akos ma sap inge ac forla in alu nu sin god saya su kowos tia wi alu nu se meet, na ac fah mwe selnga nu suwos.
29 And when Yahweh brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, [some of you must stand on top of] Gerizim Mountain and proclaim what will cause Yahweh to bless you, and [the others must stand on top of] Ebal Mountain and proclaim [what will cause Yahweh to] curse you.”
Ke pacl se LEUM GOD El uskowosme nu in facl se su kowos ac oakwuki we, kowos in sulkakin mwe insewowo liki Fineol Gerizim, ac mwe selnga liki Fineol Ebal. (
30 (Those two mountains are [RHQ] west of the Jordan [River], west of the Jordan Valley near the huge oak tree at Moreh [village] in the land where the Canaan people-group lives. They live close to the sacred trees near Gilgal.)
Kowos etu lah fineol lukwa inge oasr layen roto ke infacl Jordan, ke facl sin mwet Canaan su muta infahlfal Jordan. Fineol inge oan nget nu roto, ac tia loes liki sak oal Moreh, fototo nu ke siti Gilgal.)
31 “You will soon cross the Jordan [River] to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. When you enter that land and start to live there,
Kowos apkuran in fahsr sasla infacl Jordan ac muta fin facl se LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos. Ke kowos ac eisla ac oakwuki we,
32 be sure to obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
kowos in esamna in akos ma sap nukewa nga sot nu suwos misenge.
