Exodus 23
1 “Do not tell to others (false rumors/untrue reports) about other people. Do not help someone who is guilty by (testifying falsely/lying) [about what happened].
Dilia ogogosu sia: amola baligidu sia: mae sia: ma. Dilia giadofale hamosu dunu amo fidimusa: , mae ogogole sia: ma.
2 Do not join a group of people who are planning to do something evil. Do not testify the way the [crowd wants you to], if that will prevent [the judge from deciding the case] justly/fairly.
Ogogosu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia idi da moloi hamosu dunu ilia idi baligisia, dilia da ogogosu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu bagohame ilima mae fa: no bobogema. Ilia da ogogobeba: le, moloidafa fofada: su wadela: sea, ilima mae fa: no bobogema.
3 When a poor person is on trial, do not [testify in] his favor [just] because he is poor [and you feel sorry for him].
Hame gagui dunu da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le fofada: sea, e da liligi hame gaguiba: le, ema baligiliwane mae asigima. Emagale mae fofada: ma.
4 If you see someone’s bull or donkey when it is wandering away [loose], take it back to [its owner, even if the owner] is your enemy.
Dima ha lai dunu amo ea bulamagau o dougi da ea la: gi fadegale, udigili lalebe ba: sea, di da amo ema bu oule masa.
5 If you see someone’s donkey that has fallen down [because of its heavy load], help the owner to get the donkey up again, [even if] he is someone who hates you. Do not just walk away [without helping him].
Ea dougi baligiga dioi bagade liligi ligisiba: le da dafai dagoi ba: sea, di da dima ha lai dunu amo ea dougi ea emoga bu wa: lesima: ne fidima. Di mae udigili yolesili masa.
6 Decide the cases of poor people who are on trial [as] fairly [as you decide the cases of other people].
Hame gagui dunu da fofada: su dunuma fofada: sea, e da moloidafa hou ba: ma: ne, noga: le ouligima.
7 Do not accuse people falsely. Do not decide that innocent and righteous [DOU] people should be executed, because I will (punish/not forgive) people who do such an evil thing.
Mae ogogole diwaneya udidima. Dunu da wadela: le hame hamoi, amo udigili mae fanelegema. Nowa da amo wadela: i hou hamosea, Na da ema se imunusa: fofada: su hamomu.
8 Do not accept money that is a bribe, because officials who accept bribes are not able to [MTY] decide what is right to do, and they do not allow innocent people to be treated fairly.
Hano suligi hou mae hamoma. Hano suligi hou da dunu ilia moloidafa hou amo mae ba: ma: ne si dofosa. Amola hano suligi da moloi hamosu dunu amo ilia hou wadela: sa.
9 Do not mistreat foreigners [who live among you]. You know [how people often treat] foreigners, because the Egyptians [did not treat you well when] you were foreigners there.
Dilia da Idibidi soge ganodini ga fi dunu esalu, amo mae gogolema. Amaiba: le, ga fi dunu ilima mae se ima.
10 Plant [seeds] in your ground and gather the harvest for six years.
Dilia da ode gafeyale amoga dilia sogega ha: i manu sagama amola ha: i manu faima.
11 But during the seventh year you must not plant anything. [If things grow without your planting seeds], allow poor people [to harvest and] eat the crops. If there are still crops (left over/that they do not harvest), allow wild animals to eat them. Do the same thing with your grapevines/vineyards and your olive trees.
Be ode fesu amoga dilia sogega ha: i manu mae sagama amo ha: i manu mae faima. Hame gagui dunu da ha: i manu amoga dialebe ba: sea, ilia amo ha: i manu lamu amola soge ohe fi da eno hame fai dialebe manu da defea. Amo hou defele dilia da waini sagai amola olife ifa sagai hamoma.
12 [You may] work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must rest [and not work]. And on the seventh day you must allow your work animals and your slaves and the foreigners [who live among you] also [to rest and] be refreshed.
Hi aligi amoga eso gafeyale amoga hawa: hamoma. Be eso fesu amoga mae hawa: hamoma. Bai amo esoga, dilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu, ga fi dilima hawa: hamosa amola dilia lai gebo helefimu da defea.
13 Make certain that you obey everything that I have commanded [you to do]. Do not pray to [MTY] other gods. Do not even mention their names.”
Na sia: huluane Na, Hina Gode da dilima olelei, amo noga: le nabima. Eno ‘gode’ agoane liligi ilima mae sia: ne gadoma. Ilia dio amola maedafa sia: ma.
14 “Every year you must celebrate three festivals to [honor] me.
Ode huluane amoga, dilia Nama nodomusa: Lolo Nasu gilisisu udiana hamoma.
15 [The first one] is the Festival of Bread That Has No Yeast. Celebrate it in the month [that is named] Abib. That is the month in which you left Egypt. Celebrate it in the way that I commanded you. And always bring [LIT] an offering when you come to worship me.
Oubi ea dio Abibi, amoga dilia musa: da Idibidi yolesili gadili asi, dilia da Yisidi Hame Sali Agi gilisisu Na dilima olelei defele hamoma. Amo gilisisu eso fesu amoga, agi amoga yisidi sali amo mae moma. Eso huluane, dilia da Nama nodomusa: masea, Nama iasu liligi gaguli misa.
16 The second one is the Festival of Harvesting. During that festival you must offer to me the first parts/harvest of your crops that grow from the seeds that you planted. The third one is the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. That will be after you finish harvesting your grain and grapes and fruit.
Dilia da degabo widi amola gagoma amo ha: i manu faimusa: dawa: sea, Ha: i Manu Gaheabolo Fai Lolo Nasu bagade hamoma. Dilia da ifa fage, waini fage amo dilia sagai amola waini sagai amoga faimusa: dawa: sea, Sogega Fasela Diasu Lolo Nasu bagade hamoma.
17 Every year, at each of these times, all the men must gather together to worship me, Yahweh God.
Dilia da ode huluane amo Gilisisu udiana gala amoga dilia da gilisisia, dunu huluane da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: misa: ne sia: ma. Na da dilia Hina Gode.
18 When you sacrifice an animal [and offer it] to me, you must not offer bread that has been baked with yeast. [When you] offer sacrifices, [burn] the fat [from the animals on that same day]. Do not allow any fat to remain until the next morning.
Dilia da Nama ohe gobele salasu iasea, agi amo ganodini yisidi sali, amo Nama mae ima. Amo ohe gobele sali ilia sefe huluane gobesima. Dilia sefe udigili mae yolesima. Hahabe doaga: sea amo sefe da gobesi dagoi ba: mu.
19 Each year, when you harvest your crops, bring to the place where you worship me, Yahweh God, the first part of what you harvest. When you kill a (young animal/kid [or lamb or calf)], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
Ode huluane dilia widi amola gagoma bisili fai amo dilia Hina Gode ea diasuga gaguli misa. Dilia sibi o goudi mano amo ea ame ea dodo maga: me amo ganodini mae gobema.
20 “Note this: I am going to send an angel ahead of you, to guard you as you travel and to bring you safely to the place that I have prepared [for you]. Pay attention to what he says and obey him. Do not rebel against him, because he will have my authority [MTY] and he will (punish/not forgive) [LIT] you if you rebel against him.
Dilia da logoga ahoasea, Na da a: igele amo dili bisimusa: amola ouligimusa: asunasimu. E da soge amo dilia fima: ne Na da hahamoi, amoga E da dili oule masunu.
Dilia Ea sia: noga: le nabima. Ema higale mae hamoma amola mae odoga: ma. Bai Na da E asunasiba: le, E da Ema odoga: su hame gogolema: ne olofomu.
22 But if you pay attention to what he says and if you do all that I tell you [to do], I will fight strongly [DOU] against all of your enemies.
Be dilia da Ea sia: noga: le nabasea, amola Na adoi defele hamosea, Na da dilima ha lai dunu huluane ilima gegemu.
23 My angel will go ahead of you, and will take you to where the Amor and Heth and Periz and Canaan and Hiv and Jebus people-groups live, and I will completely get rid of them.
Na a: igele dunu da dilima bisili, amo A: moulaide dunu, Hidaide dunu, Belisaide dunu, Ga: ina: naide dunu, Haifaide dunu amola Yebusaide dunu amo ilia sogega dili oule masunu. Amasea Na da amo dunu fi huluane gugunufinisimu.
24 Do not bow down before their gods/idols or worship them. And do not do the things [that they think that their gods want] them to do. Completely destroy their gods/idols, and smash to pieces their sacred stones.
Dilia da ilia ‘gode’ liligi ilima mae beguduma. Amola ilima mae nodone sia: ne gadoma amola ilia sia: ne gadosu hou mae lalegaguma. Ilia ‘gode’ liligi gugunufinisima amola ilia sia: ne gadosu gele duni bugi huluane goudane salima.
25 You must worship me, Yahweh God. [If you do that], I will bless your (OR, bless [you by giving you]) food and water, and I will protect you from becoming sick.
Dilia da Nama fawane nodone sia: ne gadosea, Na da dilima ha: i manu amola hano noga: i amo dilima imunu. Amola Na da dilia olo huluane fadegale fasimu.
26 No women in your land will have (miscarriages/babies that will die after being born prematurely), and no women will be unable to become pregnant. And I will enable you to live a long time.
Dilia soge ganodini, abula agui uda da mano dudubu ea hagomo ganodini hamedafa fisimu. Amola uda huluane da mano lamu. Dilia ode bagohame esaloma: ne, na da amo logo hamomu.
27 I will cause the people who oppose you to become very afraid of me. I will cause the people whom you fight against to become very confused. And then I will cause them to turn around and run away from you.
Na da hamobeba: le, dilima ha lai dunu da Nama bagade beda: mu. Dunu eno da dilima gegesea, Na da ili ededenagia: ma: ne hamomu amola ilia dilima beda: iba: le, hobeamu.
28 I will cause your enemies to become terrified. And I will expel the Hiv, Canaan, and Heth people-groups from your land.
Dilima ha lai amo hobeama: ne, Na da ilima beda: su hou imunu. Dilia da gaba: i ahoasea, Na da Haifaide, Ga: ina: naide amola Hidaide amo dunu fi gadili sefasimu.
29 I will not expel [all of] them in less than one year. If I did that, your land would become deserted, and there would be very many wild animals ([that would attack you/you would not be able to control]).
Na da ode afadafa amoga ili hame sefasimu. Amai ganiaba soge da fisi dagoi ba: la: loba amola gasonasu ohe fi da heda: le dilima gegena: noba.
30 I will expel those people-groups slowly, a few at a time, until the number of your people increases and you are able to live everywhere in the land.
Be Na da gebewane amo dunu fi gadili sefasimu. Amasea, dilia fi dunu ilia idi da amo soge huluane fimusa: defele ba: sea, ilia huluane sefasi dagoi ba: mu.
31 I will cause the borders of your land to extend from the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba) [in the southeast] to the Mediterranean Sea [in the northwest], and from the [Sinai] Desert [in the southwest] to the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast of the country]. I will enable you [MTY] to expel the people who live there, so that you will expel them as you occupy more of the country.
Na da dilia soge alalo defei agoane hamomu. Soge da Agaba Wayabo Adobo muni asili, Medidala: inia Wayabo Bagade amoga doaga: mu. La: di da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amoga asili Iufala: idisi Hano amoga doaga: mu. Na da dilima gasa imunu. Amasea, dilia amo dunu fi ilia da wali amo soge ganodini esala ilima gasa fili, dilia amo soge ganodini golili dasea, amo dunu gadili sefasimu.
32 You must not make any agreement/treaty with those people or with their gods.
Dilia da ilima o ilia ‘gode’ liligi ilima gousa: su maedafa hamoma.
33 Do not allow [those people] to live in your land, in order that they do not cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, [you will not be able to escape from worshiping them and sinning against me, just like someone caught] in a trap [is unable to escape] [MET].”
Dilia da amo dunu ilia da dilia soge ganodini bu esaloma: ne logo maedafa doasima. Ilia da dilia soge ganodini bu esalea, ilia da dilia hou wadela: mu. Amola dilia da Nama wadela: le hamoma: ne, ilia da dili logemu. Dilia da ilia ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosea, amo da dilima sani bagade agoane ba: mu.” Hina Gode da amo hamoma: ne sia: i huluane Isala: ili dunuma olelei.
