Deuteronomy 26
1 “After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,
“Tukun kowos muta tari fin facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos ac oakwuki we,
2 [each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
kais sie suwos enenu in filiya fahko se meet ke kosrani lowos nu in sie fotoh, ac kowos fah usla ke kowos som nu ke acn sefanna LEUM GOD lowos El sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sel we.
3 Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
Som nu yurin mwet tol su orekma in pacl sac ac fahk nu sel, ‘Inge nga lungse fahkak nu sin LEUM GOD luk lah nga utyak nu in facl se su El wuleang nu sin papa matu tumasr mu El ac ase nu sesr.’
4 Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.
“Na mwet tol sac el fah eis fotoh sac, ac likiya ye mutun loang lun LEUM GOD lom.
5 Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
Na kom fah fahk kas inge ye mutun LEUM GOD: ‘Papa matu tumuk el sie mwet Aram su takusrkasr ac usla sou lal nu Egypt in muta we. Elos tuh mwet na pu ke pacl se elos som nu we, na tok elos orala sie mutunfacl na lulap ac ku.
6 Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
Mwet Egypt uh orekut arulana koluk ac sap ku nu sesr in orekma oana mwet kohs.
7 Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
Na kut wowoyak ac suk kasru sin LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr. El porongekut ac liye lupan keok, orekma upa, ac ongoiya lasr.
8 Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
Ke ku lulap lal El molikutla liki Egypt. El orala mwenmen ac ma usrnguk, oayapa mwe aksangeng puspis.
9 You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
El uskutme ac ase sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we.
10 So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
Inge nga use nu sin LEUM GOD fahko se meet ke kosrani ma El ase nu sik.’ “Na filiya fotoh sacn ye mutun LEUM GOD ac alu nu sel we.
11 And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
Kaksakin ma wo nukewa ma LEUM GOD lom El sot nu sum ac sou lom; ac lela mwet Levi ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos in wi kowos akfulatyal.
12 Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
“Yac tolu nukewa kom in sang sie tafu singoul ke ma kom kosrani nu sin mwet Levi, mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas, tuh in acn nukewa elos muta we elos fah ku in akfalye enenu lalos ke mwe mongo. Ke kom orala tari,
13 Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
na kom fah fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, ‘Wangin ma lula ke sie tafu singoul ma mutal su srakna oan in lohm sik. Nga sang nu sin mwet Levi, mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas, oana ke kom sapkin nu sik. Nga tiana seakos ku mulkunla kutena ma kom sapkin ke sie tafu singoul.
14 [I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
Nga tia kangla kutena ma kac ke pacl nga eoksra. Nga tia usla kutena ma kac liki lohm sik ke pacl nga tia nasnas, ac nga tia sang kutena ma kac tuh in sie mwe kisa nu ke mwet misa. LEUM GOD, nga akos kom na. Nga oru ma nukewa kom sapkin in orek ke sie tafu singoul in ma luk.
15 So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
Ngeta liki acn mutal sum inkusrao, ac akinsewowoye mwet lom, mwet Israel. Akinsewowoye pac facl wolana ac kasrup fohk we ma kom ase nu sesr, oana kom tuh wuleang nu sin papa matu tumasr meet ah.
16 Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
“Misenge LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu suwos tuh kowos in akos ma sap lal nukewa. Ouinge kowos in oaru in akos ke insiowos nufon.
17 Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
Misenge kowos fahkak tari lah LEUM GOD El God lowos. Kowos wulela pac in aksol, in liyaung ma sap lal nukewa, ac in oru ma nukewa El sapkin.
18 And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
Misenge LEUM GOD El eis kowos tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke El tuh wuleot nu suwos; ac El sapkin tuh kowos in akos ma sap lal nukewa.
19 If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
El fah akfulatye kowos yohk liki kutena mutunfacl saya ma El orala, ac kowos fah oru tuh Inel in kaksakinyuk ac sunakinyuk. Kowos fah mwet lal sifacna, oana ma El wulela.”
