Tiuteronomi Kasege 12

1 Ra Anumzana tamagehe'mofo Anumzamo'ma tami'nea mopafima umanisuta, ama'na kasegene trakenena avariri so'e hiho.

“(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 Hagi e'i ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma zamahe natitre'nuta, maka havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kuma'zmima, ra agonaramimpine, neone agonaramimpine zafarigane, me'neniana tagana taganu vazita eri haviza hutreho.

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 Hagi havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama vu itaramina tagana vazinetreta, mono'ma hunentaza haveramina rufuzafupenetreta, vimago zafama retrurente'ne'za Asera havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza zafaramina antagitma tevefi kreho. Maka havi anumzantmimofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'nesaza zana antagita kre fanane hinkeno, zamagi'a omneno.

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 Zamagrama nehazaza hutma, Ra Anumzamofona tamagra monora huontegahaze.

“Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].

5 Hianagi tamagra ama nanekea erita tamagu'are'ene antahintahire'enena nenteta, kokovite'ene tamazante'ene anakinte'neta ama ana nanekegura tamagera okaniho.

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 E'ina kumateke tevefima kre fanane hu ofane, kresramna vu ofane, 10ni'a kevufinti mago kevuma ami ofane (tait), ruga'a ofane, huvempahu ofane, avesite'ma ami ofane, bulimakaone sipisipi afutamimpinti'ma ese'ma kasentesia anenta'ma ami ofa avretma egahaze.

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 Hagi e'i ana kumateke tamagrane a'mofavrenena Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avure ne'zana ome kretma nenetma, maka zama asomu huno eri'ampoma reramante'nea zankura musena hugahaze.

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 Hagi menima tamagra tamavesite mono'ma nehazaza huta, monora osugahaze.

“[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 Na'ankure manigasahu kuma'ma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma erisantiharesaze huno'ma hu'nea mopafina zahufa uofre'naze.

because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.

10 Hianagi Jodani tina takahetma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma erisantiharehogu'ma neramamia mopafina umanigahaze. Hagi ana mopafina Ra Anumzamo'a tamazeri fruhina hara osutma fru hutma umanigahaze.

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 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma mono'ma huntehogu'ma huhampri'nenia kumate, ofama ome hihoma hu'nere tevefi kre fananehu ofane, kresramna vu ofane, 10ni'a kevufinti mago kevuma ami ofane (tait), tamagra tamavesite ami'ofane, mago'a zama huvempama huno hu ofa eritma ome hunteho.

“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 Ana nehutma tamagrane, a'mofavretamine, ve eri'za vahetamine, a' eri'za vahetaminena, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera ne'zana nenetma musena nehutma monora huntegahaze. Hagi tamagri'enema mani'naza Livae nagara tamagerakani ozmanteho, na'ankure zamagra mago mopa e'ori'naze.

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 Hagi kva hu'netma kresramna vu ofama hanazana, tamagra'a tamavesitera rufi rufina kresramna oviho.

Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.

14 Hianagi tamagri amu'nompinti'ma mago naga nofi'mofo mopafima mono hunantegahaze huno'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma hania kumateke'za, nagrama tamasmi'noa kante avaririta kresramna vu ofa nehutma, maka'zama hugahazema hu'noaza hutma monora huntegahaze.

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 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma asomu'ma huramante'nia kante ina kumatero afu'ma ahegita nenaku'ma hanutma ahegitama negahaze. Ana afu'ma ahegitama nesazana, afi zagakafama kezeline dianema nehazaza hutma agruma osu vahe'mo'ene agruma hu vahe'mo'enena amane ana ne'zana negahaze.

“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 Hianagi korama'a onetfa nehuta, tima tagitreankna huta mopafi tagitreho.

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 Hianagi 10ni'a kevufinti mago kevuma ami ofama hunaku'ma witio, wainio, olivi masaveno, bulimakaone sipisipi afutamimo'ma ese'ma kasente'nia afu anenta'ma ofama eritma esazano, tamagratmi tamavesite aminaku eritma esaza ofo, mago'a zante'ma huvempama huta ami ofa, ruga'a ofanema eritma esuta tamagrama nemaniza kumapina onetfa hugahaze.

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 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma hunte'ne'nia kumateke negahaze. Ana ne'zama nenetma musema hanazana tamagrane, a'mofavretamine, ve eri'za vahetamine, a' eri'za vahetamine, tamagranema nemaniza Livae naga'enena, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera ne'zana nenetma, musena hutma monora huntegahaze.

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 Hagi ana mopatamifima manita nevanutma, Livae nagara tamagera kaniozamanteta zamaza hiho.

Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.

20 Hagi henkama Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma huvempama huramante'nea kante anteno, mopatmimofo agema'ama eri rama hania knafima, afuku'ma tamanankema hanigeta, afu negahune hanutma tamavemasi'nia knazupa amne negahaze.

“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 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma mono hunantegahaze hunte'nigeno me'ne'nia kuma'mo'ma afete'ma me'neniana, nagrama huramante'noa kante anteta Ra Anumzamo'ma tamami'nea bulimakao afutamifintiro, sipisipi afutamifintira kumatamifina amne ahetma negahaze.

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 Hagi ana afu'ma ahetma nesazana, afi zagakafama kezeline dianema nehazaza hutma, agruma osu vahe'motane agrumahu vahe'motanena amne ana ne'zana negahaze.

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 Hianagi korama'a me'ne'nia afura onetfa hiho, na'ankure koranpina asimu me'neankitma, korama'a onegahaze.

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 Hagi korama'a onegosazanki tima hiaza hutma mopafi tagitregahaze.

Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.

25 Anama ahegisaza afu'mofo korama one'nageno'a, maka zama hanazazamo'a tamagrite'ene mofavretmire'enena knare hugahie. Na'ankure e'i Ra Anumzamo'ma musema nehia avu'avaza hugahaze.

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 Hianagi ruotage'ma hu'nesia zantamine, Ra Anumzamofo huvempa hunka aminakurema hu'ne'nana ofa, Agrama hunte'nenia kumate eritma viho.

“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 Hagi tevefima kre fanenehu ofa ome hanazana, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonte kresramna vu itarera, avufgane korama'anena eritma viho. Hagi mago'a Kresramanama vu afu'mofo korama'a, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo kresramna vu itamofo asoparega taginetretama, ame'a negahaze.

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 Amama hihoma hu'na neramasmua nanekea kva hu'netma avariri so'e nehinkeno, maka zama hanaza zamo'a tamagrite'ene mofavretmire'enena knare huno vugahie. Na'ankure e'ina'ma hanazana Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera knare huno fatgo hu'nesia avu'avaza hugahaze.

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 Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma vugota huno ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma zamahe fananema hanigeta, mopazmima eritma manisutma,

“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 tamazeri savari'ma hanigetma zamagri zamavu'zamava nezmavaririta, anumza zamigu'ma mono hunte'za nehunanki inankna hu'za monora hunentaze hutama hu'zankura kva hiho.

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 Hagi zamagrama havi anumza zamire'ma mono'ma hunentazanknara huta Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofona monora huontegahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma ago'mateno avesrama hunentea avu'ava hu'za monora nehu'za, havi anumza zamirera mofavrezmia tevefina ahe'za krerasage'za monora hunentaze.

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 Hagi maka avaririhoma hu'na tamasmua nanekea kegava hu'netma avaririho. Hagi ana nanekerera agema'a aseta rukamrege eri tregera osiho.

“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.”
