< Deuteronomy 21 >

1 If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him,
“Fin pa koneyukyak sie mwet su anwuki oan in sie ima in facl se ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, a kowos tia etu lah su unilya uh,
2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.
na mwet kol lowos ac mwet nununku fah som nu ke acn se ma mano sac oan we, ac srikeya lusen acn sac nu ke kais sie siti srisrik ma oan apkuran nu we.
3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke.
Mwet kol lun siti se ma fototo emeet nu ke acn se ma mano sac oan we ah, fah sulela soko cow fusr mutan ma soenna orekmakinyuk.
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither ploughed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
Elos in pwanla cow soko ah nu ke sie acn apkuran nu ke soko infacl srisrik ma oasr kof we pacl nukewa, ac fohk we uh soenna pukpuk ku imaiyuk, na elos fah koteya inkwawen cow soko ah we.
5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the LORD’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.
Mwet tol Levi elos fah wi pac som nu we, mweyen elos pa ac wotela ma fal in orek ke kutena akukuin ma oasr anwuk kac. LEUM GOD lowos El sulelosla in kulansupwal, ac in fahkak kas in akinsewowo Inel.
6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
Na mwet kol nukewa ke siti se ma fototo nu ke acn se ma koneyukyak mwet anwuki sac we, elos in ohlla paolos fin cow soko ah
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
ac fahk, ‘Tia kut pa uniya mwet se inge, ac kut tia pac etu lah su orala uh.
8 Forgive, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood amongst your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.
O LEUM GOD, nunak munas nu sin mwet Israel lom, su kom molelosla liki facl Egypt. Nunak munas nu sesr, ac tia filiya facsr mwatan misa lun mwet wangin mwata se inge!’
9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from amongst you, when you shall do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.
Ouinge, ke kowos oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, na kowos fah tia eis mwatan akmas sac.
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive,
“Ke kowos som in mweuni mwet lokoalok lowos, ac LEUM GOD lowos El sot kutangla nu suwos, ac kowos eisalos in mwet sruoh,
11 and see amongst the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,
sahp kom ac liye inmasrlolos sie mutan oasku su kom lungse ac kena payuk se.
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails.
Usalla nu in lohm sum, ac mutan sac ac fah kalla sifal ac tokinpaol,
13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
ac aolla nuknuk lal. Mutan sac fah muta lohm sum ac tungi papa tumal ac nina kial ke lusen malem se; tukun pacl sacn, kom ku in payukyak sel.
14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.
Toko, kom fin tila lungse el, kom fah fuhlella elan sukosokla. Ke sripen kom tuh sap ku elan wi kom oan, ouinge kom tia ku in kukakunulla oana sie mwet kohs.
15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,
“Fin pa sie mukul oasr mutan luo kial, ac eltal na kewa oswela kais sie wen nu sel, tusruktu wen se ma isusla meet ah el tia ma nutin mutan se ma el lungse yohk.
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
Na ke pacl se papa sac el nunku in kitalik usru lal nu sin tulik natul, el tia enenu in srisri ac sang ip lun wounse nu sin mukul se nutin mutan se ma el lungse.
17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
Mwe usru lun wounse enenu in yohk pacl luo liki mwe usru lun tulik ngia, finne wounse natul tia ma nutin mutan se ma el lungse. Papa se enenu in akilen wounse natul, ac sang nu sel lupan usru lal fal nu ke oakwuk lun ma sap.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them,
“Fin oasr sie wen likkeke ac utuk nunak, su seakos papa tumal ac nina kial eltal finne kael.
19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.
Na papa ac nina kial fah usalla nu ke nien nununku, ye mutan mwet kol lun siti se ma el muta we.
20 They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
Eltal ac fahk nu sin mwet kol uh, ‘Wen se natusr inge el likkeke ac utuk nunak, ac el tia lungse akos kut. El kainmongo ac lungse sruhsrui!’
21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.
Na mwet in siti sac fah tanglal nwe ke na el misa. Pa inge lumah se ma ac oru ouiya koluk se inge in wanginla. Mwet Israel nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac fah sangengla kac.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
“Sie mukul fin anwuki ke el orala sie ma koluk yohk, ac manol sripsripyak ulun soko sak,
23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
na mano sac fah tia oan we ke fong fon se. Enenu in pukpuki ke len sacna, mweyen sie mano misa ma sripsrip ulun soko sak ac pwanang God Elan selngawi acn sac. Pikinya mano sac, kowos in mau tia akkolukye facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
