< Deuteronomy 13 >

1 “Possibly there will be people among you who [say that they] are prophets. They may say that they are able to interpret the meaning of dreams or perform various kinds of miracles [DOU].
“Sie mwet palu, ku sie mwet su aketeya kalmen mweme uh, fin wulela mu el ac oru sie mwenmen ku sie ma usrnguk
2 They will say those things in order to induce/persuade you to worship gods that you have never known about before. But even if what they predict happens,
tuh elan pwenkowosla kowos in alu ac orekma nu sin kutu god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet, na finne sikyak oana ma el wulela kac,
3 do not pay attention to what they say. Yahweh our God will be testing you to find out if you love him with all your inner being.
nimet kowos lohang nu sel. LEUM GOD lowos El orekmakunul in srike kowos, in liye lah kowos lungse LEUM GOD ke insiowos nufon.
4 You must conduct your lives as Yahweh our God wants you to, and you must revere him, and do what he tells you to do [MTY], and worship only him, and (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
Fahsr tukun LEUM GOD mukena, ac arulana akfulatyal. Aksol ac liyaung ma nukewa El sapkin. Alu nu sel ac inse pwaye nu sel.
5 “But you must execute anyone who [falsely says that he] is a prophet, or someone who [falsely] says that he can interpret dreams, or who tells you to rebel against Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. People like that are only wanting to cause you to stop conducting your lives as Yahweh has commanded you to do. Execute them, to get rid of this evil among you.
A kowos in uniya kutena mwet su aketeya mweme, ku mwet palu su fahk kowos in lain LEUM GOD— El su molikowosla liki acn Egypt, yen kowos tuh mwet kohs we. Kutena mwet su oru ma inge el koluk ac el srike in kifuskowosla liki moul se ma LEUM GOD El sap kowos in moulkin. Enenu na in anwuki el, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki inmasrlowos.
6 It does not matter if even your brother or your daughter or your wife or some close/dear friend secretly urges you, saying ‘Let’s worship other gods. They are gods which you or your ancestors have never known about.
“Finne tamulel lom, ku wen nutum, ku acn nutum, ku mutan kiom su saok sum, ku kawuk fototo lom, elos ku in kwafe nu sum in lukma tuh kom in alu nu sin god saya, god su kom ac papa matu tomom tia wi alu nu se meet.
7 Some of them may encourage you to worship gods that people-groups that live near you worship, or gods that groups who live far away worship.
Sie selos ac ku in kwafe sum kom in alu nu sin god lun mwet ma muta apkuran nu yurum, ku god lun mwet ma muta loesla liki kom.
8 Do not [SYN] do what they suggest. Do not even listen to them. Do not even be merciful to them, and do not keep secret what they have done.
Tusruktu nik kom lela elan kifuskomla; tia pac lohngol. Nik kom kulang nu sel ku pakomutal, ac nik kom loangel.
9 Execute them! You [who are their relative] must be the first one to [throw stones at them to] kill them, and then let everyone else [MTY] throw stones at them, too.
Unilya! Oru in kom pa mwet se oemeet tanglal, na fah sang mwet saya nukewa in wi pac tanglal.
10 Kill such people by throwing stones at them, because they are trying to cause you to stop worshiping Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt.
Tanglal nwe ke na el misa, mweyen el oru elan kifuskomla liki LEUM GOD lom, su uskomme liki Egypt, acn kom tuh mwet kohs we.
11 When they are executed, all the Israeli people will hear [what happened], and they will become afraid, and none of them will do such an evil thing again.
Na mwet Israel nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangeng, na wangin sie fah sifilpa oru ma koluk ouinge.
12 “When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear
“Ke pacl se kowos muta in siti ma LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos, kowos ac mau lohng
13 that some worthless people there among you [IDM] are deceiving the people of their town, saying, ‘Let’s go and worship other gods,’ but they are gods that you have never heard about before.
lah kutu sin mwet lusrongten in mutunfacl suwos uh aktafongyela mwet in siti selos tuh elos in alu nu sin god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet.
14 Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,
Kowos fin lohng ke sramsram ouingan, lohlla akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak,
15 kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.
na uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac, wi kosro nukewa, ac kunausla ma nukewa we.
16 Gather all the possessions that belonged to the people who lived there and pile them up in the city plaza. Then burn the town and everything in it, as though it were an offering to Yahweh that would be completely burned [on the altar]. The ruins/ashes must stay there forever; the town must never be rebuilt.
Orani ma nukewa lun mwet su muta in siti sac, ac elosak ke acn in tukeni lalos. Na esukak siti sac ac ma nukewa loac, in oana sie mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Acn sac fah tia sifilpa musaiyuk, a in mahnum se na nwe tok.
17 None of you Israelis must take for yourselves [IDM] anything that Yahweh has said must be destroyed. But if you do what I say, Yahweh will stop being angry with you, and he will act mercifully toward you. And he will cause you to have many children/descendants, which is what he promised our ancestors that he would do.
Nimet eis lowos kutena ma su sapkinyuk in kunausyukla, na LEUM GOD El fah forla liki kasrkusrak lulap lal, ac akkalemye pakoten lal nu suwos. El ac fah pakomutowos ac oru kowos in puseni, oana ma El wulela nu sin papa matu tomowos,
18 Yahweh our God will do all those things if you do what he is telling you to do, and if you obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do].”
kowos fin akos sap lal nukewa ma nga sot nu suwos misenge, ac oru ma El kena kowos in oru.
