< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 “Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
No ipannakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti daga a papananyo tapno tagikuaen, ken pagtalawenna dagiti adu a nasion iti sangoananyo—dagiti Heteo, Gergeseo, Amorreo, Cananeo, Periseo, Heveo, ken Jebuseo—pito a nasion a dakdakkel ken nabilbileg ngem dakayo;
2 When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
ket inton ited kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti panagballigim kadakuada, inton masabatyo ida iti paggugubatan, masapul a darupenyo ida, ket masapul a dadaelenyo ida a naan-anay. Saankayo a makitulag wenno mangipakita iti asi kadakuada.
3 You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
Saankayo met a makiasawa kadakuada; saanyo nga ited dagiti annakyo a babbai kadagiti annakda a lallaki, ken saanyo nga alaen dagiti annakda a babbai para kadagiti annakyo a lallaki.
4 Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
Ta pagtallikudenda dagiti annakyo manipud iti panangsursurotda kaniak, tapno agdayawda kadagiti sabali a dios. Isu a sumgedto ti pungtot ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, ket dadaelennakayonto a dagus.
5 This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
Kastoy ti aramidenyo kadakuada: rebbaenyo dagiti altarda, burakenyo dagiti nasagradoan nga adigida, putdenyo ti tekken ti Aserada ken puoranyo dagiti nasukog a didiosenda.
6 You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
Ta maysakayo a nasion a nailasin para kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Pinilinakayo nga agbalin a tattao a para kenkuana a tagikuaenna, nga ad-adda ngem kadagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti rupa ti daga.
7 “It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
Saannakayo nga inayat wenno pinili ni Yahweh gapu ta ad-adukayo ngem kadagiti dadduma a tattao— ta dakayo idi ti kabassitan kadagiti amin a tattao—
8 Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
ngem gapu ta ay-ayatennakayo, ken tinarigagayanna a salimetmetan ti insapatana kadagiti ammayo. Daytoy ti makagapu nga inruarnakayo ni Yahweh babaen iti nabileg nga imana ken sinubbotnakayo iti balay ti pannakaibalud, manipud iti ima ni Faraon, nga ari ti Egipto.
9 So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
Ammoenyo ngarud a ni Yahweh a Diosyo—isuna ket Dios, ti napudno a Dios, a mangsalsalimetmet kadagiti tulag ken kinapudnona iti sangaribu a henerasion kadagiti agayat kenkuana ken mangsalimetmet kadagiti bilbilinna,
10 But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
ngem subadanna kadagiti rupada dagiti manggurgura kenkuana, tapno dadaelenna ida; saanto a maasian isuna iti siasinoman kadagiti manggurgura kenkuana; subadannanto isuna iti rupana.
11 “So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Salimetmetam ngarud dagiti bilbilin, dagiti alagaden, ken dagiti pangngeddeng nga imbilinko kenka ita, tapno aramidem dagitoy.
12 If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
No denggenyo dagitoy a pangngeddeng, ket salimetmetan ken aramidenyo dagitoy, mapasamakto a salimetmetan ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti tulag ken ti kinapudno nga insapatana kadagiti ammayo.
13 He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
Ayaten, bendisionan ken paaduennakayonto; bendisionannanto met ti bunga ti bagiyo ken ti bunga ti dagayo, ti bukelyo, ti baro nga arakyo, ken ti lanayo, ti panagadu dagiti tarakenyo ken ti urbon dagiti arbanyo, iti daga nga insapatana kadagiti ammayo nga itedna kadakayo.
14 He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
Ad-adda a mabendisionankayo ngem kadagiti sabali a tattao; awanto ti lalaki nga awan anakna wenno lupes a babai kadakayo wenno kadagiti tarakenyo.
15 And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
Ikkatento ni Yahweh manipud kadakayo dagiti amin a saksakit; awan kadagiti dakes a saksakit ti Egipto a naammoam ti ikabilna kadakayo, ngem ikabilnanto dagitoy kadagiti amin a manggurgura kadakayo.
16 You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
Ibusenyonto amin dagiti bunggoy dagiti tattao a nangitedan ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo iti balligi, ken saanto a maasian ti matayo kadakuada. Ket saanyonto a dayawen dagiti diosda, ta agbalinto a palab-og dayta kadakayo.
17 “Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
No kunayo iti pusoyo 'Ad-adu dagitoy a nasion ngem siak; kasano a mapapanawko ida?'—
18 Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
Saankayo nga agbuteng kadakuada; lagipenyo ti inaramid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kenni Faraon ken kadagiti amin nga Egipto;
19 Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
ti nakaro a panagsagaba a nakita dagiti matayo, dagiti pagilasinan, dagiti nakaskasdaaw, ti nabileg nga ima, ken ti panangipakita ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh a Diosyo a nangiruar kadakayo. Isunto met laeng ti aramiden ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadagiti amin a tattao a pagbutbutnganyo.
20 Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
Kasta met, ibaonto ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti alimbubuyog kadakuada, agingga a mapukaw iti imatangyo dagiti nabati ken dagiti aglemlemmeng.
21 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
Saankayonto nga agbuteng kadakuada, ta adda kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo, maysa a dakkel ken nakabutbuteng a Dios.
22 He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
In-inutto a papanawen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti nasion iti sangoananyo. Saanyonto a maparmek ida a mamimpinsan, wenno umadunto unay dagiti atap nga ayup iti aglawlawyo.
23 Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
Ngem itedto kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti panagballigiyo kadakuada no masabatyo ida iti paggugubatan; Tikawennanto ida iti kasta unay agingga a madadaelda.
24 He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
Ikabilnanto dagiti arida iti turayyo, ket pukawenyonto ti naganda iti babaen ti langit. Awanto ti siasinoman a makabael a tumakder iti sangoananyo, agingga a madadaelyo ida.
25 You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
Puoranyonto dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan dagiti diosda; saanyo a tarigagayan ti pirak wenno balitok a nangbalkot kadagitoy a kayatyo la unay nga alaen para kadagiti bagbagiyo, ket mapalab-ogankayo iti daytoy; ta kagura daytoy ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
26 You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
Saankayonto a mangiyuneg iti aniaman a makarimon a banbanag iti balayyo ken rugianyo a dayawen daytoy. Guraen ken karimonyonto dagitoy, ta nailasin daytoy para iti pannakadadael.
