< Deuteronomy 8 >

1 “You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
Dilia mae yolesili, sema huluane na da wali eso dilima i, amo nabawane hamoma. Amasea dilia da mae bogole, dilia dunu fi idi heda: le, amo soge Hina Gode da dilia aowalali ima: ne ilegele sia: i, dilia da gesowale fimu.
2 And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
Hina Gode da dilima bisili, ode40 40 amoga, logo sedade wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini oule asi. Dilia da Ea sia: nabawane hamoma: ne amo ado ba: musa: , E da gasa bagade hou dilima i.
3 So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
E da dilima ha: i bagade iasu. Amalalu, E da ha: i manu amo dilia amola dilia aowalali da musa: hame mai amo dilima i. Bai dilia da dunu da osobo bagade ha: i manu amoga fawane hame esalumu be Hina Gode Ea sia: huluane amoga esalumu, amo dilia dawa: ma: ne E da hamosu.
4 During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
Amo ode40ganodini, dilia abula da hame dasasu amola dilia emo da hame fofasu.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
Hina Gode da osobo bagade ada defele dilima olelesu amola se nabasu iaha. Amo mae gogolema.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoma. Ea sema defele esaloma amola Ea sia: noga: le nabima.
7 He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
Dilia Hina Gode da soge noga: idafa amo ganodini dili oule ahoa. Amo soge da bubuga: su hano noga: iwane amola hano nawali osobo hagudu diala amo da fago soge amola agolo soge amoga sogadigisa.
8 It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
Amo sogega, widi, bali, waini fage, figi, bomegala: nidi, olife amola agime hani bagade ba: sa.
9 It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
Amo soge ganodini dilia da hamedafa ha: mu amola dilia hanai huluane ba: mu. Amo soge ea gele ganodini aione (ouli) bagade ba: mu, amola ea agologa dilia da uli dogole balase gula ba: mu.
10 [Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
Dilia hanai defele ha: i manu bagade ba: mu amola Hina Gode da dilima soge noga: idafa ia dagoiba: le, dilia da Ema nodone sia: mu.”
11 But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Mousese da eno amane sia: i, “Dilia Hina Gode maedafa gogolema. Ea sema huluane (amo na da wali eso dilima iaha), afae mae yolesili noga: le nabawane hamoma.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Dilia da ha: i manu dilia hanai defele ba: sea amola dilia diasu noga: iwane amo ganodini esaloma: ne amo gagui dagosea,
13 and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
amola dilia sibi, bulamagau, silifa amola gouli da bagade hamoi dagoi ba: sea,
14 be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
noga: le dawa: ma! Dilia da bu gasa fi hamone Hina Gode amo da dilia Idibidi sogega se iasu diasu hamosu halegale masa: ne amo doasi dagoi, amo gogolesa: besa: le dawa: ma!
15 Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
Hina Gode da dili amo bagade wadela: idafa hafoga: i soge amo ganodini saya: be amola gamaloa bagohame ba: i, amo ganodini E da dili oule ahoasu. Amo hano hame soge ganodini, E hamobeba: le, ga: nasi igi amoga hano nawali da dilima hano sogadigi.
16 Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
Amo hafoga: i soge ganodini, E da dili moma: ne ma: na (dilia aowalali da amo ha: i manu hame ba: i) amo dilima i. E da dili ado ba: ma: ne, gasa bagade hou dilima i. Bai E da fa: no dilima hahawane dogolegelewane bagade hamomusa: dawa: i.
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
Amaiba: le, dilia da dilisu gasa amoga bagade gagui dunu agoane ba: sa, amo maedafa dawa: ma.
18 Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
Dilia da bagade gagui agoane ba: ma: ne, Hina Gode Hi fawane da Hi gasa dilima iaha. Amo mae gogolema! E da Ea musa: gousa: su hou E da dilia aowalalia hamoi, amo mae fisima: ne dawa: beba: le agoane hamosa.
19 “solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
Dilia Hina Gode gogolele, sinidigili eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadole, ilia hawa: hamosu hamomusa: mae dawa: ma. Agoane hamosea, na da wali dilima sisasu olelesa. Dilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
20 If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
Dilia da Hina Gode amo hame nabasea, dilia da dunu fi amo dilia da gusuba: i ahoasea Gode da gugunufinisimu, amo defele dilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
