Deuteronomy 12

1 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days that you live on the earth.

“Pa inge ma sap ac ma oakwuk su kowos in akos ke lusen pacl kowos moul muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lun papa matu tomowos El asot nu suwos.

2 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods: on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Ke kowos ac lusla mwet in mutunfacl sac, kowos in kunausla acn nukewa ma mwet uh alu nu sin god lalos uh we — fineol uh, fin inging uh, ac ye sak folfol uh.

3 You shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, and burn their Asherah poles with fire. You shall cut down the engraved images of their gods. You shall destroy their name out of that place.

Kunausla loang lalos nukewa, ac fukulya sru eot lalos in muliplipi. Esukak mwe akul nukewa ke Asherah, god mutan lalos, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lalos, tuh mwet uh fah tia ku in sifil alu nu kac fin acn ingan.

4 You shall not do so to the LORD your God.

“Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma mwet inge oru ke elos alu nu sin god lalos.

5 But to the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, you shall seek his habitation, and you shall come there.

LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela sie sin acn inmasrlon sruf nukewa lowos, tuh mwet uh in tuku nu ye mutal ac alu nu sel we.

6 You shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, your vows, your free will offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock there.

Kowos ac fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya: sie tafu singoul liki ma lowos, ac mwe sang lowos, mwe kite ma kowos wuleang nu sin LEUM GOD kac, mwe kisa ke engan na lun mwet se in oru, ac wounse ke cow ac sheep nutuwos.

7 There you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which the LORD your God has blessed you.

Na ingo, ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos su akinsewowoye kowos, kowos ac sou lowos fah mongo ac engankin orekma wo kowos orala.

8 You shall not do all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

“In pacl sac, kowos in tia oru oana kowos oru meet ah. Nwe ke pacl se inge kowos nukewa alu oana lungse lowos,

9 for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which the LORD your God gives you.

mweyen kowos soenna ilyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, yen kowos ac mutana we in misla.

10 But when you go over the Jordan and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety,

Ke pacl se kowos ac fah alukela Infacl Jordan, LEUM GOD El ac lela kowos in eis facl sac ac muta we. El ac fah karingin kowos liki mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa, ac kowos fah muta in misla.

11 then it shall happen that to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to the LORD.

LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela siena acn kowos in alu nu sel we, na ingo kowos ac fah use nu yorol ma nukewa ma nga sapkin: mwe kisa firir lowos ac oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya, sie tafu singoul lowos, mwe sang lowos, ac mwe kite mutal lowos ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD.

12 You shall rejoice before the LORD your God—you, and your sons, your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

Kowos in engan we ye mutal, wi tulik nutuwos, mwet kulansap lowos, ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos. Esam lah wangin acn lun mwet Levi sifacna.

13 Be careful that you don’t offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

Kowos fah tia oru mwe kisa lowos ke acn kowos sifacna sulela;

14 but in the place which the LORD chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

a kowos fah oru ke acn sefanna ma LEUM GOD El sulela: sie acn ke sie sin sruf lowos. Acn sac mukena pa kowos fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, ac oru pac ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos.

15 Yet you may kill and eat meat within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the LORD your God’s blessing which he has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and the deer.

“Tusruktu kowos sukosok in uniya ac kang kosro nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we. Kowos ku in kang pisa na kowos lungse, fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos. Kowos nukewa — mwet ma aknasnasyeyukla ac mwet ma tia aknasnasyeyukla — ku in kang, oana ke kowos kang ikwen deer ku antelope.

16 Only you shall not eat the blood. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.

Tusruktu kowos fah tiana kang srah kac uh. Kowos fah okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.

17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your free will offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;

Nimet kang kutena ma kowos kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD ke acn kowos muta we — tia mwe sang ke sie tafu singoul ke wheat lowos, wain lowos, ku oil in olive lowos; tia pac wounsien cow ac sheep nutuwos, ku mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD, ku mwe sang kowos oru ke engan na lowos in oru, ku kutena mwe sang saya.

18 but you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates. You shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hand to.

Kowos ac tulik nutuwos, wi mwet kulansap lowos ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos, fah mongo ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos mukena, in acn in alu se na ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela. Ac kowos in engan we ke orekma nukewa ma kowos orala.

19 Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

Esam pac in tia pilesru mwet Levi ke lusenna pacl kowos muta in fahl suwos.

20 When the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.

“Ke pacl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik acn suwos uh, oana ke El tuh wulela kac, kowos ku in mongo ikwa ke pacl na kowos lungse.

21 If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

Fin acn in alu sac arulana loesla, na kutena pacl ma kowos lungse, kowos ku in uniya soko sin cow ku sheep ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos, ac kowos ku in kang ikwa kac in acn suwos, oana ke nga tuh fahk nu suwos.

22 Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

Kutena mwet — elos su aknasnasyeyukla ku elos su tia nasnasyeyukla — ku in kang ikwa inge, oana ke el kang ikwen deer ku antelope.

23 Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood; for the blood is the life. You shall not eat the life with the meat.

Ma sefanna, nimet kang ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac, mweyen moul uh oasr ke srah uh, na kowos fah tia kang moul sac wi ikwa sac.

24 You shall not eat it. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.

Nimet orekmakin srah nu ke mwe mongo, a okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.

25 You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.

Kowos in tia kang srah, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD.

26 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take and go to the place which the LORD shall choose.

Kowos in us mwe sang lowos ac mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu ke acn in alu sefanna ma LEUM GOD El fah sulela.

27 You shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the LORD your God’s altar. The blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the LORD your God’s altar, and you shall eat the meat.

Kisakin ingo mwe kisa ma enenu in firirla nufon fin loang lun LEUM GOD. Oayapa mwe kisa su kowos ac kang ikwa kac uh ac okoala srah kac fin loang uh.

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the LORD your God’s eyes.

Oaru in akos ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos, ac ma nukewa fah wo nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ac ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD lowos.

29 When the LORD your God cuts off the nations from before you where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,

“LEUM GOD lowos fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa kowos fah mweuni, ac kowos ac fah eis facl selos ac oakwuki we.

30 be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, and that you not enquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”

Tukun LEUM GOD El kunausla mutunfacl inge, na kowos in arulana karinganang tuh kowos in tia sruhfla ke alu lalos. Kowos in tia srike in konauk lah elos alu fuka nu sin god lalos tuh kowos in etaelos.

31 You shall not do so to the LORD your God; for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma elos alu nu sin god lalos, tuh ke elos alu nu sin god lalos elos oru ma nukewa ma srungayuk yurin LEUM GOD. Elos kisakin pac tulik natulos in e fin loang lalos.

32 Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

“Oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos. Nimet laesla kutena ma nu kac, ku eisla kutena ma liki.
