Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
Amo da Hina Gode Ea malasu. Dila da soge (dilia aowalalia Hina Gode da dili gesowale fima: ne dilima iaha) amo ganodini esalea, amo malasu amola hamoma: ne sia: i mae yolesili fa: no bobogema.
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
Dunu fi amo ilia soge dilia da lamu da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amo goumia, eno agologa amola ifa hagudu amoga nodone sia: ne gadosa. Dilia amo sogebi huluane gugunufinisima.
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
Ilia oloda huluane goudane gugunufinisima. Ilia sema igi amo goudama. Ilia A: sela ifa momomogoi amo laluga gobema. Ilia loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi abusa: ma amola ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia dio amo sogebi ganodini bu mae dawa: ma: ne gugunufinisima.
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
Dilia da dilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosea, ilia hou defele mae hamoma.
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
Be dilia Hina Gode da dilia fi huluane amo ganodini sogebi afae ilegemu. Amoga E da esalumu amola E da Ea Dio ilegemu. Amo sogebiga, dilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoma.
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
Amoga, dilia laluga gobei iasu, gobele salasu, ‘daide’ (dilia gagui liligi nabuane mogili, afae Godema imunu iasu liligi), dilia imunu ilegele sia: i liligi, dilia hahawane udigili iasu amola dilia ohe fi magobo mano amo huluane gaguli misa.
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
Hina Gode da dilima hahawane dogolegesu hou bagade i dagoi. Dilia amola dilia sosogo fi da E ba: ma: ne, ha: i manu noga: iwane dilia hawa: hamobeba: le lai amo manu.
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
Amo esoha dilia musa: hou defele mae hamoma. Musa: asili wali dilia da nodone sia: ne gadosu hou dilisu hanaiga hamosu.
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
Bai dilia da soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima dili olofoiwane esaloma: ne iaha amo ganodini hame golili sa: i.
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
Dilia da Yodane Hano degesea, Hina Gode da dili amo soge gesowale fima: ne dili fidimu. E da dilima ha lai ilima dili gaga: mu amola dilia da olofoiwane esalumu.
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
Hina Gode da sogebi afadafa amoga dilia da Ema nodosu hou hamoma: ne ilegemu. Amogawi na sia: i liligi huluane Ema gaguli misa. Amo da dilia gobele salasu liligi, dilia ‘daide’, hahawane udigili iasu amola noga: i iasu dilia da Godema imunusa: ilegele sia: i.
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
Dilia, dilia mano, dilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola Lifai dunu dilia moilai ganodini esala, amo huluane Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne, hahawane hamoma. Lifai dunu da ilisu soge hame gagubiba: le, ilima dawa: ma.
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
Dilia gobele salasu amo udigili dilia hanaiga sogebi enoenoi amoga mae ima.
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
Be sogebi afadafa Hina Gode Ea ilegei sogebi, dilia fi afae ilia soge ganodini amoga dilia gobele salasu ima. Amo sogebi dilia gobei iasu ima amola na hamoma: ne sia: i liligi huluane hamoma.
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Be dilia esalebe sogebi amo ganodini dilia ohe fi medole legele manu da defea. Hina Gode E dilima iasu defele manu da defea. Dilia huluane (ledo hamoi dunu amola ledo hame hamoi defele), huluane manu da defea. Amo hu dilia ‘dia’ o ‘a: deloubi’ medole legei defele moma.
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
Be ilia maga: me mae moma. Ilia maga: me amo dilia hano agoane osoboga sogadigima.
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
Dilia Hina Godema iasu liligi amo huluane dilia esalebe sogebi amoga mae moma. Amo da dilia gagoma ‘daide’, waini, dilia olife susuligi, dilia bulamagau, sibi, magobo mano, dilia Godema hahawane udigili iasu sia: i amola iasu liligi eno huluane.
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
Dilia, dilia mano, dilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola Lifai dunu dilia moilai ganodini esala, amo iasu liligi dilia Hina Gode ba: ma: ne Ea ilegei nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo ganodini fawane moma. Amola dilia hamoi huluane dawa: beba: le, dilia amogawi hahawane ba: ma.
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
Amola dilia soge amo ganodini esalea, Lifai dunu mae gogolema.
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
Dilia Hina Gode da Ea sia: i defele dilia soge bu bagade hamosea, dilia ohe hu hanai galea defele moma.
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
Be nodosu sogebi amo Hina Gode da ilegei, amo da dilia sogebi amoga sedade ba: sea, defea, bulamagau o sibi amo Hina Gode da dilima i, amo medole legele dilia diasuga manu da defea. Na da amo dilima sia: i dagoi.
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Dunu huluane, ledo gala o ledo hamedei, huluane manu da defea. Amo hu dilia ‘dia’ o ‘a: deloubi’ medole legei amo defele moma.
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
Be hu amo ganodini maga: me diala, amo mae moma. Bai esalusu da maga: me amo ganodini diala amola dilia esalusu amola hu gilisili manu da defea hame.
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
Dilia maga: me ha: i manu agoane mae moma. Be amo hano agoane osoboga sogadigima.
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
Dilia da amo hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le nabasea, dilia amola diligaga fi da hahawane ahoanumu amola Hina Gode da dilia hou hahawane ba: mu.
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
Dilia Hina Godema imunu ilegele sia: i liligi amo huluane ilegei nodosu sogebi amoga gaguli masa.
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
Amogawi gobele salasu liligi ima. Dilia amo liligi Hina Gode Ea oloda da: iya gogo gobele salima. Amola gobele salasu eno amo dilia ohe hu manu amola maga: me oloda da: iya sogadigimu amo amola ima.
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
Dilia mae yolesili, na hamoma: ne sia: i huluane noga: le nabawane hamoma. Amasea, dilia amola diligaga fi da hahawane esalumu. Bai Hina Gode da amo moloidafa hou hahawane ba: sa.
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
Dilia da amo dunu fi ilia sogega golili dasea, dilia Hina Gode da amo fi huluane gugunufinisimu. Amasea, dilia amo sogega osobo dogone fimu.
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
Hina Gode da amo dunu fi huluane gugunufinisi dagosea, dawa: ma! Dilia da bogosu ba: sa: besa: le, ilia sia: ne gadosu hou mae lalegaguma. Ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosu hou amo dilia hamomusa: , mae hogoma.
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
Dilia Hina Godema sia: ne gadosea amola nodosea, ilia hou defele mae hamoma. Bai ilia sia: ne gadosu amo ganodini ilia wadela: idafa hou (Gode da amo hou higasa) amo hamosa. Ilia hou afae da ilia da ilila: manolali oloda da: iya laluga gobele sala.
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
Na sia: i huluane noga: le nabawane hamoma. Amoga hou eno mae gilisima amola amoga hou eno mae fadegale fasima.
