Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
“Nimet kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kutena cow ku sheep ma oasr kutena ma koluk ke mano. Ma inge mwe srungayuk sel.
2 If there is found amongst you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
“Kowos fin lohng lah oasr in sie sin siti suwos, sie mwet — mukul ku mutan — su orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac kunausla wuleang lal
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
ke el alu ku orekma nu sin god saya, ku nu ke faht, malem ku itu, ac ma inge lain ma sap lun LEUM GOD.
4 and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall enquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
Kowos fin lohng kain in pweng inge, kowos sokak akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak in Israel,
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
na usla mwet sac nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Tusruktu, el ac anwuki fin oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, su lainul; el fah tia anwuki fin oasr mwet loh sefanna.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you.
Mwet loh inge pa ac tanglal meet uh, toko na mwet ngia fah wi tanglal. Pa inge ma ac oru lumah koluk se inge in wanginla.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgement, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
“Kutu pacl uh, ac upa nu sin mwet nununku in sie siti in orala wotela lalos in konauk ma pwaye ke kain in sripa inge: suwohs ke ma lun mwet ke acn, ku ke musalla lun mano, ku ke misa se lah ma ke ongla ouiya ku akmas akola se. Pacl lumah ouinge sikyak, kowos in som nu ke acn in alu se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela kowos in alu we,
9 You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall enquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
ac sang sripa lowos nu sin mwet Levi su mwet tol, ac nu sin mwet nununku se su orekma in pacl sac, elos in wotela.
10 You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which the LORD chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
Elos ac orala wotela lalos, na kowos fah oru oana ma elos fahk.
11 According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgement which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Kowos in insese nu ke konauk lalos, ac fahsr fal nu ke ma nukewa elos sapkin.
12 The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
Kutena mwet su seakos ma mwet nununku sac ku mwet tol se su orekma ke pacl sacn wotela uh, fah anwuki. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki Israel.
13 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Mwet nukewa fah lohng kac ac sangengla, na wangin mwet ac sifil pulaik in oru lumah inge.
14 When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
“Tukun kowos ac eisla facl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac sot nu suwos ac kowos oakwuki tari we, na kowos ac lungse in oasr sie tokosra lowos, in oana mutunfacl nukewa su raunikowosla.
15 you shall surely set him whom the LORD your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from amongst your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
Karinganang tuh mwet se kowos ac sulela in tokosra elan mwet se ma LEUM GOD El sulela. El enenu elan siena sin mwet Israel wiowos. Nik kowos oru sie mwetsac in tokosra lowos.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
Tia enenu in pukanten horse nutin un mwet mweun lal tokosra, ac elan tia supwala mwet nu Egypt in moul horse we, mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk tari mu mwet lal in tia sifil folok nu we.
17 He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
In tia pus mutan kien tokosra, mweyen elos ac ku in kifasulla liki LEUM GOD; ac elan tia sifacna akkasrupyal ke silver ac gold.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
Pacl se el ac tokosrala, enenu in oasr yorol sie ma simusla ke book in ma sap ac kas in luti lun God, ma simla oana book limlim emeet ah ma karinginyuk sin mwet tol Levi.
19 It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Book se inge elan karingin in oanna siskal, ac elan riti in moul lal nufon tuh elan lutlut in arulana akfulatye LEUM GOD, ac in oaru in akos ma nukewa ma sapkinyuk loac.
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.
Ma inge ac fah oru elan tia nunku mu el wo liki mwet Israel wial, oayapa elan tia seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD in kutena ouiya. Na el fah leum ke yac puspis, ac fwilin tulik natul ac fah leumi Israel ke fwil puspis tokol.
