Deuteronomio 12
1 Dagitoy dagiti alagaden ken bilbilin a salimetmetanyo iti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh, ti Dios dagiti ammayo, nga itedna a tagikuaenyo, iti amin nga al-aldaw nga agbibiagkayo iti daga.
“(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
2 Awan duadua a dadaelenyonto amin dagiti lugar a nagdaydayawanda kadagiti dios dagiti nasion a tagikuaenyo, kadagiti nangato a banbantay, kadagiti turturod, ken iti sirok ti tunggal nalangto a kayo;
You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
3 ken rebbaenyonto dagiti altarda, burborenyo dagiti nasagradoan a bato nga adigida, ken puoranyo dagiti tekken ti Aserada; putdenyo dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan dagiti diosda ken dadaelenyo dagiti naganda iti dayta a lugar.
You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
4 Saankayo nga agdaydayaw kenni Yahweh a Diosyo iti kasta a wagas.
“Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
5 Ngem iti lugar a piliento ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadagiti amin a tribu a pangikabilanna iti naganna, daytanto ti lugar a pagnaedanna, ken sadiayto ti papananyo.
Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
6 Sadiayto ti pangipananyo kadagiti daton a maipuor amin, dagiti sakripisioyo, dagiti apagkapulloyo, ken dagiti daton nga idatag dagiti imayo, dagiti sapata a datonyo, dagiti daton nga agtaud iti kaungganyo, ken dagiti inauna nga annak dagiti baka ken karneroyo.
That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
7 Sadiayto ti pangananyo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosyo ken agrag-okayo kadagiti amin a banag a nangikabilanyo kadagiti imayo, dakayo ken dagiti sangakabbalayanyo, a nangbendisionan ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo.
There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
8 Saanyonto nga aramiden amin dagiti banbanag nga ar-aramidentayo ditoy ita nga aldaw, ita ar-aramiden ti tunggal maysa ti umno kadagiti bukodda a mata,
“[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
9 ta saankayo pay a nakadanon iti panaginana, iti tawid nga it-ited kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
10 Ngem inton bumallasiwkayo iti Jordan ken agnaed iti daga nga ipatawid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, ken no ikkannakayo iti inana manipud kadagiti amin a kabusoryo iti aglawlawyo, tapno agbiagkayo a natalged,
But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
11 ket mapasamakto dayta iti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh a Diosyo a panginaedanna ti naganna, ipanyonto sadiay dagiti amin nga ibilinko kadakayo: dagiti daton a maipuor amin, dagiti sakripisioyo, dagiti apagkapulloyo, dagiti daton nga idatag dagiti imayo, ken amin dagiti piniliyo a daton para kadagiti sapata nga isapatayo kenni Yahweh.
“Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
12 Agra-okayonto iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosyo—dakayo, dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai, dagiti adipenyo a lallaki ken babbai, ken dagiti Levita nga adda iti uneg ti ruanganyo, gapu ta awan iti pasetna wenno matawid kadakayo.
Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
13 Agannadkayo a saanyo nga idaton ti datonyo a maipuor amin iti tunggal lugar a makitayo;
Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
14 ngem iti lugar a piliento ni Yahweh ti maysa kadagiti tribuyo ti pangidatonanyo kadagiti daton a maipuor amin, ket aramidenyonto sadiay ti amin a banag nga ibilinko kadakayo.
You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
15 Nupay kasta, mabalinyo ti mangparti ken mangan kadagiti ayup iti uneg ti amin a ruanganyo, no tarigagayanyo, nga aw-awaten ti bendision ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadagiti amin nga itedna kadakayo; agpada a mabalin a kanen daytoy dagiti saan a nadalus ken dagiti nadalus a tattao, dagiti ayup a kas iti gasela ken ti ugsa.
“However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
16 Ngem saanyo a kanen ti dara; ibukbokyo daytoy iti daga a kasla danum.
But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
17 Saanyo a mabalin a kanen iti uneg dagiti ruanganyo ti apagkapullo ti trigoyo, baro nga arakyo, lanayo, wenno ti inauna nga anak ti baka ken karneroyo; ken saanyo a kanen ti aniaman a karne nga idatonyo a mapakuyogan iti aniaman kadagiti sapata nga aramidenyo, wenno dayta ket daton a nagtaud iti kaungganyo, wenno daton nga idatag ti imayo.
In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
18 Ngem ketdi, kanenyonto daytoy iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti lugar a pilienna—dakayo, dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai, dagiti adipenyo a lallaki ken babbai, ken dagiti Levita nga adda iti uneg dagiti ruanganyo; agrag-okayonto iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosyo maipapan kadagiti amin a banbanag a pangikabilanyo kadagiti imayo.
Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
19 Annadanyo ti bagiyo a saanyo a baybay-an dagiti Levita bayat iti panagnaedyo iti dagayo.
Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
20 Inton palawaen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti beddengyo, kas inkarina kadakayo, ket ibagayo, 'Manganak iti lasag,' gapu iti tarigagayyo a mangan iti karne, mabalinkayo a mangan iti karne, kas tartarigagayan ti kararuayo.
“When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
21 No adayo unay kadakayo ti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh a Diosyo a pangikabilanna iti naganna, ket mabalinyo ti mangparti iti sumagmamano kadagiti baka ken karnero nga inted ni Yahweh kadakayo, kas imbilinko kadakayo; mabalinyo a kanen daytoy iti uneg dagiti ruanganyo, kas tartarigagayan iti kararuayo.
If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
22 Kasla iti panagsida iti gasela ken ti ugsa, isu a mabalinyo a kanen daytoy; agpada a mabalin a mangan iti daytoy ti saan a nadalus ken ti nadalus a tattao.
Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
23 Siguradoenyo laeng a saanyo a kanen ti dara, ta ti dara ket isu ti biag; saanyo a kanen ti biag agraman ti karne.
But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
24 Saanyonto a kanen daytoy; Ibukbokyonto daytoy iti daga a kasla danum.
Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
25 Saanyonto a kanen daytoy, tapno sumayaatkayonto, ken dagiti annakyo a sumarsaruno kadakayo, no aramidenyo ti umno iti imatang ni Yahweh.
If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
26 Ngem dagiti banag a kukua ni Yahweh nga adda kadakayo, ken dagiti daton para kadagiti sapatayo—alaenyo dagitoy ket mapankayo iti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh.
“But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
27 Idatonyonto sadiay dagiti datonyo a maipuor amin, ti karne ken ti dara, iti rabaw ti altar ni Yahweh a Diosyo; maibukbokto ti dara dagiti sakripisioyo iti altar ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ket kanenyonto ti lasag.
You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
28 Ngilinenyo ken denggenyo amin dagitoy a sasao nga ibilinko kadakayo, tapno sumayaatkayo ken dagiti annakyo a sumarsaruno kadakayo iti agnanayon, no aramidenyo ti nasayaat ken umno iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
29 No dadaelen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti nasion iti sangoananyo, inton serrekenyo tapno tagikuaen dagitoy, ket matagikuayo dagitoy, ket agnaedkayo iti dagada,
“When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
30 Agannadkayo tapno saankayo a mapalab-ogan iti panangsursurotyo kadakuada, kalpasan a nadadaelda iti sangoananyo—mapalab-ogankayo iti panangammo kadagiti diosda, iti panagdamdamag, ''Kasano ti panagdaydayaw dagitoy a nasion kadigiti diosda? Kastanto met ti aramidek.''
After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
31 Saanyonto nga aramiden dayta kas panangraemyo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo, ta amin a banag a makarimon ken kagurgura ni Yahweh, ket inaramidda kadagiti diosda; puoranda pay dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai para kadagiti diosda.
Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
32 Aniaman nga ibilinko kadakayo, ngilinenyo daytoy. Saanyo a kissayan wenno nayunan daytoy.
“Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
