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].
Masapul a saankayo nga agipadamag iti palso maipanggep iti siasinoman. Saankayo a makikaddua iti nadangkes a tao tapno agbalinkayo nga ulbod a saksi.
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.
Masapul a saankayo a sumurot iti kaadduan nga agaramid iti dakes wenno agsaksi kabayatan nga ay-ayunanyo ti kaaduan tapno mangballikug iti hustisia.
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].
Masapul a saanyo nga ayunan ti nakurapay a tao iti kasona.
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.
No masabatyo ti baka wenno asno ti kabusoryo a maiyaw-aw-awan, masapul nga isubliyo daytoy kenkuana.
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].
No makitayo a nakusbo iti daga ti asno ti tao a gumurgura kadakayo iti kinadagsen ti awitna, masapul a saanyo a panawan dayta a tao. Masapul a tulunganyo isuna ken ti asnona.
6 Decide the cases of poor people who are on trial [as] fairly [as you decide the cases of other people].
Masapul a saanyo a ballikugen ti hustisia no daytoy ket umayon kadagiti napanglaw a tattao iti kaso iti napanglaw a tao.
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.
Saankayo a makikaddua kadagiti dadduma iti panagaramid iti palso a pammabasol, ken saanyo a patayen dagiti awan basolna wenno nalinteg, ta saankonto a palabsen dagiti nadangkes.
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.
Saankayo a pulos nga umawat iti pasuksok, ta bulseken ti pasuksok dagiti makakita ken ballikugenna dagiti sao dagiti napudno a tattao.
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.
Masapul a saankayo a mangidadanes iti ganggannaet, agsipud ta ammoyo ti biag ti maysa a gangannaet, ta ganggannaetkayo met idi iti daga ti Egipto.
10 Plant [seeds] in your ground and gather the harvest for six years.
Iti las-ud iti innem a tawen, agmulakayo ti bukel kadagiti dagayo ken apitenyo dagiti ipaayna a bunga.
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.
Ngem iti maikapito a tawen, bay-anyo a saan a naarado ken paginanaenyo daytoy, tapno makapangan dagiti nakurapay a tattao kadakayo. Ti ibatida, kanento dagiti atap nga ayup. Kasta met ti aramidenyo kadagiti kaubusanyo ken kadagiti kaoliboanyo.
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.
Agtrabahokayo bayat iti innem nga aldaw, ngem iti maikapito nga aldaw masapul nga aginanakayo. Aramidenyo daytoy tapno makainana dagiti baka ken asnoyo, ken tapno makainana ken mabang-aran dagiti annak a lallaki dagiti tagabuyo a babbai ken ti siasinoman a gangannaet.
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.”
Endenganyo ti amin nga imbagak kadakayo. Saanyo a dakdakamaten ti nagan dagiti sabali a dios, wenno saanyo nga ipalubos a mangngeg dagiti naganda manipud iti ngiwatyo.
14 “Every year you must celebrate three festivals to [honor] me.
Masapul nga agdaliasatkayo tapno makaangaykayo iti fiesta a maipaay kaniak iti mamintallo a daras iti makatawen.
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.
Masapul a ngilinenyo ti Fiesta ti Tinapay nga Awan Lebadurana. Kas imbilinko kadakayo, mangankayo iti tinapay nga awan lebadurana iti las-ud ti pito nga aldaw. Iti dayta a tiempo, sumangokayonto kaniak iti bulan ti Abib, a naituding para iti daytoy a panggep. Iti daytoy a bulan a rimuarkayo idi manipud idiay Egipto. Ngem masapul a saankayo nga agpakita iti sangoanak nga ima-ima.
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.
Masapul a ngilinenyo ti Fiesta ti Panagapit, ti umuna a bunga dagiti nagbannoganyo idi immulayo dagiti bukbukel kadagiti taltalonyo. Kasta met a masapul a ngilinenyo ti Fiesta ti Panagummong iti ileleppas ti tawen, inton agapitkayo manipud kadagiti taltalonyo.
17 Every year, at each of these times, all the men must gather together to worship me, Yahweh God.
Masapul nga agparang iti sangoanak, a ni Yahweh, dagiti amin a lallaki iti mamintallo a daras iti tunggal tawen.
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.
Masapul a saanyo nga idaton ti dara dagiti naidaton para kaniak a kaddua ti tinapay nga adda lebadurana. Dagiti taba manipud kadagiti naidaton iti fiestak ket masapul a saan nga agtalinaed iti agpatnag agingga iti bigat.
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.”
Masapul nga iyegyo iti uneg ti balayko, ti balay ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti umuna a kasayaatan a bunga manipud kadagiti dagayo. Masapul a saanyo a paburekan ti urbon a kalding iti gatas ti inana.
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.
Mangibaonakto iti anghel nga umun-una kadakayo a mangsalaknib kadakayo iti dalan, ken mangiyeg kadakayo iti lugar nga insaganak.
Dumngeg ken agtulnogkayo kenkuana. Saanyo a pagpungtoten isuna, ta saannanto a pakawanen dagiti pagkuranganyo. Adda kenkuana ti naganko.
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.
No pudno nga agtulnogkayo iti timekna ken aramidenyo amin dagiti ibagak kadakayo, ket agbalinakto a kabusor kadagiti kabusoryo ken sumuppiat kadagiti sumupsuppiat kadakayo.
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.
Umun-unanto kadakayo ti anghelko ket iyegnakayo kadagiti Amorreo, Heteo, Perezeo, Cananeo, Heveo ken kadagiti Jebuseo. Dadaelekto ida.
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.
Masapul a saankayo nga agrukbab kadagiti diosda, dayawen dagitoy, wenno tuladen dagiti ar-aramidenda. Ngem ketdi, masapul a naan-anay a dadaelenyo ida ken burakburakenyo dagiti nasagradoan a bato nga adigida.
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.
Masapul a dayawendak, ni Yahweh a Diosyo. No aramidenyo, bendisionak dagiti tinapay ken danumyo. Ikkatekto dagiti saksakit kadakayo.
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.
Awanto ti babai nga agbalin a lupes wenno maalisan iti dagayo. Ikkankayonto iti napaut a panagbiag.
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.
Pagbutngekto kaniak dagiti agnanaed iti daga a papananyo. Papatayekto dagiti amin a tattao a masabatyo. Pagtallikodekto dagiti amin a kabusoryo gapu iti buteng.
28 I will cause your enemies to become terrified. And I will expel the Hiv, Canaan, and Heth people-groups from your land.
Mangibaonakto kadagiti ayukan iti sangoananyo a mangpapanaw kadagiti Heveo, Cananeo, ken Heteo inton sumungadkayo.
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]).
Saanko ida a papanawen iti sangoananyo iti las-ud iti maysa a tawen, wenno saan, agbalin a nagtalawan ti daga, ket umado iti kasta unay dagiti atap nga ayup.
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.
Ngem ketdi, in-inutekto a papanawen ida iti sangoananyo agingga nga umadukayo ket tagikuaenyo ti daga.
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.
Irugikto ti beddengyo manipud iti baybay dagiti Runo agingga iti baybay dagiti Filisteo, ken manipud iti let-ang agingga iti karayan ti Eufrates. Pagballigienkayo kadagiti agnanaed iti entero a daga. Papanawenyonto ida iti sangoananyo.
32 You must not make any agreement/treaty with those people or with their gods.
Masapul a saankayo a makitulag kadakuada wenno kadagiti diosda.
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].”
Masapul a saanda nga agnaed iti dagayo, ta no saan pagaramidendakayo iti basol a maibusor kaniak. No agdayawkayo kadagiti diosda, sigurado nga agbalinto daytoy a palab-og kadakayo.””
