Deuteronomy 4
1 “Now, you Israeli people, obey all the rules and regulations [DOU] that I will teach you. If you do that, you will remain alive and you will enter and occupy/capture the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you.
Amalalu, Mousese da Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia da sema huluane na da waha dilima olelelala, amo huluane nabawane hamosea, dilia da esalumu, amola dilia soge amo dilia aowalali ilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha, amo dilia da gesowale fimu.
2 Do not add anything to what I command you, and do not take anything away from what I tell you. Obey all the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you.
Na sema dilima olelesa amoga eno sema mae gilisima, amola amoga mae fadegama. Na da Hina Gode Ea sema dilima i dagoi. Amo huluane nabima.
3 “You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
Dilisu da Hina Gode Ea hou Bio Goumia ba: i dagoi. E da dunu huluane amo da ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ile amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo huluane gugunufinisi dagoi.
4 but you who faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
Be nowa da dilia Hina Godema fa: no bobogesu hou hame fisi da wali esoga esala.
5 “Note that I have taught you all the rules and regulations, just like Yahweh our God told me to do. He wants you to obey them [when you are living] in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Na da na Hina Gode nama hamoma: ne sia: i defele, sema huluane dilima olelei dagoi. Dilia da wali Ga: ina: ne soge doagala: le, gesowale fimu. Amo ganodini, amo sema huluane nabawane hamoma.
6 Obey them faithfully because, [if you do that], you will show the people of other nations that you are very wise. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, ‘The people of this great nation [of Israel] are certainly very wise [DOU]!’
Dilia amo sema mae yolesili nabawane hamosea, dilia da eno osobo bagade fi dunu ilima, dilia bagade dawa: su hou olelemu. Ilia da amo sema nabasea, ilia da amane sia: mu, ‘Amo Isala: ili dunu da bagade. Ilia asigi dawa: su hou da bagadedafa.’
7 Even if other nations are great, there is none [RHQ] of them that has a god who is as near to them as Yahweh our God is to us! Whenever we call out to him [to help us, he answers/helps us]
Ninia da fidisu hanai galea o se nabasea, ninia Hina Gode da nini fidimusa: gadenene esala ba: sa. Ninia da Ema fidima: ne wele adosea, E da hedolo fidimusa: maha. Eno dunu fi huluane, amola bagadedafa fi huluane, da agoaiwane Gode hame gala.
8 And there is no [RHQ] other nation, even if it is a great nation, that has laws that are as just/fair as the laws that I am telling to you today.
Na da wali sema moloidafa amola noga: idafa dilima olelei. Eno dunu fi huluane fonobahadi amola bagadedafa, huluane da agoaiwane sema hame gala.
9 “But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen [God do]. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
Dawa: ma! Ha: esaloma! Dilia da osobo bagadega esalea, dilia siga ba: i liligi mae gogolema. Dilia mano amola dilia aowa ilima olelema.
10 Tell them about the day that your ancestors stood in the presence of Yahweh our God at Sinai [Mountain], when he said to me, ‘Gather the people together, in order that they can hear what I say. I want them to learn to have an awesome respect for me as long as they are alive, and I want them to teach their children to do that also.’
Dilia da Sainai Goumia Hina Gode amo Ea midadi lelu. E da nama amane sia: i, ‘Dunu fi huluane gilisima. Na hanai da Na dima sia: mu liligi ilia huluane nabimu. Amasea Na da ilima nabasu hou olelemu. Ilia da osobo bagadega esalea, Nama nabasu hou hamomu da defea. Amola ilia da ilia manoma Nama beda: su hou olelemu da defea.’
11 [Tell them that] your ancestors came near the bottom of the mountain, while the mountain burned with a fire that went up to the sky, and the mountain was covered with dark clouds and black [smoke].
Dilia da asili goumi ea baiga lelu. Goumi da bunumai mobi bagade amoga dedeboi dagoi amola lalu bagade ea gona: su da muagado heda: i. Amo hou dilia manoma olelema.
12 Then Yahweh spoke to your ancestors out of the middle of the fire. Your ancestors heard him speak, but they did not see him. They only heard his voice.
Hina Gode da lalu ganodini esalebe, amoga E da dilima sia: i. Dilia da Ea sia: nabi be hodo hame ba: i. Amo amola dilia manoma olelema.
13 And he declared to them his agreement. That agreement contained the Ten Commandments that he wants you to obey. He wrote those on two stone tablets.
Hina Gode da dilima logo olelei. Dilia da Gousa: su amo E da dilima hamoi amo noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, Hamoma: ne Sia: i Nabuane Gala E da gele gasui aduna da: iya dedei amo nabawane hamoma E sia: i. Amo sia: huluane dilia manoma olelema.
14 Yahweh commanded me to teach all the rules and regulations to you, in order that you would obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.”
Hina Gode da nama dilima sema huluane soge wali dilia gesowale fimu amo ganodini fa: no bobogemu amo dilima olelema: ne sia: i.”
15 “On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
Mousese da eno amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da Sainai Goumia lalu amo ganodini esalebe dilima sia: noba, dilia da hodo hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, dilia hahawane esaloma: ne, noga: le dawa: ma!
16 that you do not sin by making for yourselves any idol [of something that can be seen!] not make an idol that resembles any person, either a man or a woman,
Wadela: le hamomusa: dilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila: liligi maedafa hamoma.
17 or that resembles any animal or any bird
Dunu agoai o uda agoai o ohe fi o sio o
18 or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
sania o menabo agoaiwane liligi amoma sia: ne gadomusa: , mae hedofale hamoma.
19 And be careful to not look up toward the sky and be tempted to worship anything that you see there—the sun or the moon or the stars. Yahweh our God has given those to [be a blessing to] all people everywhere, [but you must not worship them].
Amola dilia da eno ilia dafama: ne olelesu nabasea, liligi dilia da mu amo ganodini ba: sa amoma mae nodone sia: ne gadoma. Amo da eso amola oubi amola gasumuni. Hina Gode da amo liligi osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima i dagoi.
20 Yahweh has brought your ancestors out of Egypt, where [they were suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace, in order that they would be people who belong to him, which is what you are today.
Be dilia da hisu. Dilia da Idibidi soge ganodini lalu bagade defele ganodini esalu. Amoga Hina Gode da dili fadegai. E da dilia Ea Fidafa (wali dilia da Ea Fidafa esala) amo hamoma: ne dili gadili oule asi.
21 “But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [made me do]. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan [River] to enter the good/fertile land that he is giving to you.
Dilia houba: le, Hina Gode da nama ougi galu. E da nama moloiwane olelei, na da Yodane Hano mae degele, soge noga: idafa E da dilima iaha amo ganodini hamedafa masunu.
22 He said that I must die here in this land and never cross the Jordan [River]. But you will go across it, and you will occupy that land.
Na da guiguda: bogomu amola hano hamedafa degemu. Be dilia da amo hano degemu amola amo soge noga: idafa gesowale fimu.
23 Be sure that you do not forget the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you. He commanded you to not make any kind of idol, because he has forbidden that.
Be dawa: ma! Dilia gousa: su amo Hina Gode da dilima hamoi amo mae gogolema. E da dilima loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi maedafa hedofama, amo sema noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne sia: i.
24 [You must not do that] because Yahweh your God will destroy [anyone who worships idols, ] like [MET] a fire completely destroys things. He [wants people to worship only him, he] (cannot accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else.
Bai dilia Hina Gode da lalu bagade defele esala. E da Hi sogebi lamu hanai dunu, ilima bagade higalala.
25 “When you have been in the land [of Canaan] for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you [and punish you].
Dilia da amo soge ganodini ode bagohame esalu, mano amola aowa lai dagoi ba: sea, amo esoga amola wadela: i loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi ea hodo defele mae hamoma. Bai amo hou Hina Gode Ea siga da wadela: idafa ba: sa, amola E da mi hanamu.
26 Today I am requesting everyone who is in heaven and everyone who is on the earth [MTY] to watch what you are doing. [If you disobey what I am telling you], you will soon all die in the land that you will be crossing the Jordan [River] to occupy. You will not live very long there; Yahweh will completely get rid of many [HYP] of you.
Na da wali fedege agoane mu amola osobo bagade, dilima ba: su dunu defele adosa. Dilia da na sia: noga: le hame nabasea, dilia fi da amo soge ganodini eso bagahame fawane esalebe, hedolowane alalolesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da soge Yodane Hano la: idi amo dilia da waha gesowale fimu soge amo ganodini ode bagahame fawane esalumu. Dilia fi da dafawanedafa gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
27 And [the rest of you], Yahweh will force you to go and live among the people of many other nations. Only a few of you will (survive/remain alive) there.
Hina Gode da dilia eno fifi asi gala amo ganodini esaloma: ne galadigimu. Amo ganodini dilia dunu da bagahame fawane esalumu.
28 When you are in those nations, you will worship gods that are made of wood and stone, gods made by humans, gods that cannot see anything or hear anything or eat anything or smell anything.
Amo ga fifi asi gala ilia soge ganodini esalea, dilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi, osobo bagade dunu ilia loboga hamoi liligi amoga hawa: hamomu. Amo liligi da ifa amola igi, amoga hamoi. Ilia siga hame ba: sa, hame naba, ha: i manu hame naha amola miga hame naba ba: sa.
29 But while you are there, if you will try to know Yahweh your God, and if you try with your entire inner being to know him, he will (answer/reveal himself to) you.
Amo ga fifi asi gala ganodini dilia da dilia Hina Gode hogoi helemu. Dilia da dilia dogo amola asigi dawa: su huluane amoga hogoi helesea, dilia da E bu ba: mu.
30 In the future, after you have been mistreated there and all those bad things happen to you, you will again worship only Yahweh and obey him.
Dilia se bagade nabasea amola na waha sia: i liligi dilia ba: sea, ouesalu, dilia da Hina Godema sinidigili, Ea sia: bu nabimu.
31 Yahweh is a God who acts mercifully. [If you continue to obey him], he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement that he solemnly made with your ancestors.”
Hina Gode da gogolema: ne olofosu bagade dawa: E da dili hamedafa yolesimu amola dili hame gugunufinisimu. Amola E da gousa: su amo Hisu dilia aowalali ilima hamoi amo hamedafa gogolemu.
32 “Now think about the past, about the time before you were born, about all the time since God first created people here on the earth. You could search everywhere, in heaven and on the earth. (Has anything like this ever happened that is as great as [what Yahweh did for the Israeli people]?/Certainly nothing has ever happened that is as great [as what Yahweh did for the Israeli people].) [RHQ] (Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?/Certainly no one has ever heard of anything like this.) [RHQ]
Musa: hemone dilia da hame lalelegei eso amoga Gode da dunu fi osobo bagadega fima: ne hamoi, amo eso ea hou hogoi helema. Osobo bagade soge huluane amo ganodini hogoi helema. Amo bagade hou Gode da waha hamobe da musa: ba: bela: ? Dunu da amo hou hamoi amo nabibala: ? Hame mabu!
33 (Has any group ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did?/Certainly no group has ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did.) [RHQ]
Dunu fi afae da Gode laluga ilima sia: i dilia defele nabi, amo bu esalebe ba: bela: ? Hame mabu!
34 Certainly no other god has ever tried to take a [huge] group of people from one nation [to another location], like he did for us when he brought us out of Egypt. We saw Yahweh our God use great power [MTY, DOU] when he performed many kinds of [DOU] miracles, and sent plagues, and did many other very terrifying things in Egypt for us, [and rescued us when the army of Egypt tried to fight against us].
Eno ‘gode’ liligi da mae beda: iwane dunu fi afae amo eno dunu fi amoga fisili masa: ne, ea fidafa hamoi, dilia Hina Gode da Idibidi soge dilima hamoi defele, eno ‘gode’ da agoane hamobela: ? Hame mabu! Dilia siga ba: ma: ne E da Ea gasa bagadega hamoi. E da olo bagade amola gegesu bagade hamoi. E da musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu amola beda: su bagade liligi hamoi dagoi.
35 “Yahweh showed all these things to you, in order that you would know that only he is truly God, and that there is no other God.
Hina Gode Hisu da Gode - eno hame - amo dilima olelema: ne, Hina Gode da amane hamoi.
36 He allowed your ancestors to hear him speak from heaven in order that he could discipline them. Here on the earth he allowed them to see his great fire [on Sinai Mountain], and he spoke to them from the middle of the fire.
E da dilima olelema: ne, Hebene soge amoga dilima sia: i. Amola osobo bagadega E da Ea Hadigi lalu dilima olelei, amola amoga dilima sia: i.
37 Because he loved our ancestors, he chose you Israelis who are their descendants, and by his great power he brought your ancestors out of Egypt.
E da dilia aowalali ilima asigiba: le, dili ilegei, amola Hisu da Ea gasa bagade amoga dili Idibidi soge fisili masa: ne gadili hiougi.
38 [As they advanced], he expelled the people of nations that were greater and more powerful than they were, in order that he could allow them to capture their land and cause it to become yours, which is [what is happening] now.
Dilia da gusuba: i ahoanoba, E da dunu fi amo ilia idi amola gasa da dili baligi, amo sefasi. Bai E da dili amo ilia soge ganodini (amo da wali dilia soge) oule masunu hanai galu.
39 “So today you should (meditate on/think about) the fact that Yahweh is God, that he is/rules in heaven and also on the earth, and that there is no other god.
Amaiba: le, wali eso maedafa gogolema! Hina Gode da Godedafa Hebene ganodini amola osobo bagadega. Eno ‘gode’ da hamedafa.
40 Obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, in order that things will go well for you and for your descendants, and that you will live a long time in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, [to belong to you] forever.”
Dilia Ea sema huluane na da wali eso dilima olelei, amo nabawane hamosea, dilia amola diligaga fi da hahawane esalumu. Amola dilia da mae fisili, amo soge dilia Hina Gode da dili eso huluane amo ganodini esalalaloma: ne dilima iaha, amo ganodini esalalalumu.”
41 Then Moses/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Amalalu, Mousese da moilai bai bagade udiana Yodane Hano eso maba gusudili ilegei.
42 If someone accidentally killed another person, a person who had not been his enemy previously, he could escape to one of those cities. He would be safe/protected in one of those cities [because the people there would protect him].
Amo moilai bai bagade da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade. Nowa dunu da ea ha lai dunu hame amomane mae ougili giadofale medole legesea, e da amo moilaiga hobeale ahoasea, maga: me dabe iasu dunu amoga mae medole legele, gaga: su ba: mu.
43 For the tribe of Reuben, Moses/I set apart Bezer [city] in the (plateau/high level) area. For the tribe of Gad, Moses/I set apart Ramoth [city] in the Gilead [area]. For the tribe of Manasseh, Moses/I set apart Golan [city] in the Bashan [region].
Liubene fi dunu ilia Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade da Bisa (hafoga: i bi da: iya umi sogega dialu). Ga: de fi dunu ilia Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade da Lamode (Gilia: de soge amo ganodini). Amola Eso Mabadili Mana: se fi dunu ilia Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade da Golane (Ba: isia: ne soge amo ganodini).
44 Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
Mousese da Gode Ea sema amola Ea olelei huluane Isala: ili dunu fi ilima i.
45 They included all the rules and instructions and commands that Moses/I gave to them, after they/we had come out of Egypt,
46 when they/we were in the valley east of the Jordan [River]. They/We were across from Beth-Peor [town], in the land that [previously] was ruled by Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. Moses/I and the other Israelis had defeated his [army] when they/we came out of Egypt.
Ilia da Idibidi soge yolesili, fago soge Yodane Hano eso mabe la: ididili Bedebio la: ididili esaloba, amo sema ilima olelei. Amo soge da musa: hina bagade Saihone, A:moulaide ouligisu musa: Hesiabone moilaiga esalu, amo ea soge. Mousese amola Isala: ili dunu fi da Idibidi soge yolesili amo hina bagade dunu hasali.
47 They/We captured Sihon’s land and the land that Og, the king of the Bashan [region], ruled. They were the two kings who ruled the Amor people-group [in the area] east of the Jordan [River].
Ilia da ea soge gesowale fi amola hina bagade Oge (Ba: isia: ne soge ouligisu, e amola da A: moulaide dunu Yodane Hano eso mabe la: ididili esalu) amo ea soge fedelale fi.
48 Their land extended from Aroer [town in the south] along the Arnon [River], as far [north] as Sirion Mountain, which [most people] call Hermon Mountain.
Amo soge da Aloua moilai (Anone Hano bega: dialu) amo oleiga asili Silione Goumi (eno dio Hemone Goumi) amoga doaga: i.
49 It also included all the area east of the Jordan [River] Valley, all the way south to the Dead Sea and east to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain].
Soge huluane Yodane Hano eso mabe bega: ga (north) asili Bogoi Hano Wayabo doaga: i amola eso mabe amoga asili Bisiga Goumi amoga doaga: i, amo soge huluane da ilia lai soge ganodini dialu.
