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].
“Kowos in oaru in akos ma sap nukewa nga sot nu suwos misenge, tuh kowos fah ku in moul ac puseni ac utyak eis facl se su LEUM GOD El wulela kac nu sin papa matu tomowos.
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.
Esam kolyuk lun LEUM GOD lowos in fufahsryesr loeloes lowos sasla yen mwesis ke yac angngaul somla. El supu ma upa in srike kowos, tuh Elan ku in etu ma oan insiowos, ac lah pwaye kowos ac akos ma sap lal.
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].
El tuh oru kowos in masrinsral, na El kite kowos ke manna, sie mwe mongo ma kowos, ac papa matu tomowos, soenna kang meet. El oru ma inge in luti kowos lah mwet uh tia moul ke bread mukena, a ke kas nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
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].
Ke lusen yac angngaul inge, nuknuk lowos tiana mahi, ac niowos tia pac fafwak.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El aksuwosye kowos ac kai kowos, oana ke sie papa el kai tulik natul.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
Ke ma inge, oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu suwos! Moul fal nu ke ma sap lal ac arulana akfulatyal.
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.
LEUM GOD lowos El uskowosme nu in sie facl wo — sie acn pus infacl ac unon in kof we, oayapa oasr kwakof ye fohk uh ma soror nu infahlfal uh ac infulan eol uh;
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.
sie acn ma oasr wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranate, olive ac honey we.
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.
Kowos ac tiana masrinsral we, ku enenu kutena ma. Eot we uh oasr iron loac, ac kowos ku in pukanak copper ke eol srisrik we.
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.
Ac fah pukanten mwe mongo nowos, ac kowos fah sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD lowos ke facl na wowo El sot nu suwos.
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.
“Kowos in arulana karinganang tuh kowos in tia mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos; a kowos in arulana akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa lal su nga sot nu suwos misenge.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Ke pacl se pukanten mwe mongo nowos, ac kowos musaela lohm wowo suwos ac muta loac,
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,
ac ke puseni cow ac sheep nutuwos, silver ac gold lowos, ac kutepacna ma saya lowos,
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.
taranna tuh kowos in tia inse fulatak ac mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos su uskowosme liki Egypt, acn se ma kowos tuh mwet kohs we.
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.
El pwen kowos sasla yen mwesis lulap ac aksangeng sac, yen oasr wet pwasin ac scorpion we. El oru kof in sororma liki sie eot wen nu suwos in acn pulamlam ac wangin kof we.
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.
In acn mwesis uh El kite kowos ke manna, sie mwe mongo ma papa matu tomowos uh tiana kang meet. El oru in upa nu suwos in srike kowos, tuh Elan ku in akinsewowoye kowos tok ke ma wo.
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
Ouinge, kowos in tiana nunku mu kasrup lowos uh ma ke ku ac etauk lowos sifacna.
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.
Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos pa sot ku nu suwos in kasrupi. El oru ouinge mweyen El srakna karingin wulela lal nwe misenge ma El orala yurin papa matu tomowos.
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.
Kowos in tiana mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos, ku forla nu sin god ngia in alu ac orekma nu selos. Kowos fin oru ouinge, na nga fahk nu suwos misenge lah pwayena kowos ac kunausyukla.
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.”
Kowos fin tia akos LEUM GOD, na kowos ac kunausyukla, oana mutunfacl ingo su El ac kunausla meet liki na kowos ilyak nu in facl selos.
