Deuteronomy 13

1 “Sie mwet palu, ku sie mwet su aketeya kalmen mweme uh, fin wulela mu el ac oru sie mwenmen ku sie ma usrnguk

If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder,

2 tuh elan pwenkowosla kowos in alu ac orekma nu sin kutu god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet, na finne sikyak oana ma el wulela kac,

and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods" (which you have not known) "and let us serve them";

3 nimet kowos lohang nu sel. LEUM GOD lowos El orekmakunul in srike kowos, in liye lah kowos lungse LEUM GOD ke insiowos nufon.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Fahsr tukun LEUM GOD mukena, ac arulana akfulatyal. Aksol ac liyaung ma nukewa El sapkin. Alu nu sel ac inse pwaye nu sel.

You shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cling to him.

5 A kowos in uniya kutena mwet su aketeya mweme, ku mwet palu su fahk kowos in lain LEUM GOD— El su molikowosla liki acn Egypt, yen kowos tuh mwet kohs we. Kutena mwet su oru ma inge el koluk ac el srike in kifuskowosla liki moul se ma LEUM GOD El sap kowos in moulkin. Enenu na in anwuki el, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki inmasrlowos.

That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

6 “Finne tamulel lom, ku wen nutum, ku acn nutum, ku mutan kiom su saok sum, ku kawuk fototo lom, elos ku in kwafe nu sum in lukma tuh kom in alu nu sin god saya, god su kom ac papa matu tomom tia wi alu nu se meet.

If your brother, the son of your father, or the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your friend who is closest to you, entice you secretly, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

7 Sie selos ac ku in kwafe sum kom in alu nu sin god lun mwet ma muta apkuran nu yurum, ku god lun mwet ma muta loesla liki kom.

of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;

8 Tusruktu nik kom lela elan kifuskomla; tia pac lohngol. Nik kom kulang nu sel ku pakomutal, ac nik kom loangel.

you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:

9 Unilya! Oru in kom pa mwet se oemeet tanglal, na fah sang mwet saya nukewa in wi pac tanglal.

but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 Tanglal nwe ke na el misa, mweyen el oru elan kifuskomla liki LEUM GOD lom, su uskomme liki Egypt, acn kom tuh mwet kohs we.

You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Na mwet Israel nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangeng, na wangin sie fah sifilpa oru ma koluk ouinge.

All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.

12 “Ke pacl se kowos muta in siti ma LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos, kowos ac mau lohng

If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell there, saying,

13 lah kutu sin mwet lusrongten in mutunfacl suwos uh aktafongyela mwet in siti selos tuh elos in alu nu sin god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet.

Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known;

14 Kowos fin lohng ke sramsram ouingan, lohlla akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak,

then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, look, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you,

15 na uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac, wi kosro nukewa, ac kunausla ma nukewa we.

you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

16 Orani ma nukewa lun mwet su muta in siti sac, ac elosak ke acn in tukeni lalos. Na esukak siti sac ac ma nukewa loac, in oana sie mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Acn sac fah tia sifilpa musaiyuk, a in mahnum se na nwe tok.

You shall gather all its plunder into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God: and it shall be a ruin forever; it shall not be built again.

17 Nimet eis lowos kutena ma su sapkinyuk in kunausyukla, na LEUM GOD El fah forla liki kasrkusrak lulap lal, ac akkalemye pakoten lal nu suwos. El ac fah pakomutowos ac oru kowos in puseni, oana ma El wulela nu sin papa matu tomowos,

Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand; that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;

18 kowos fin akos sap lal nukewa ma nga sot nu suwos misenge, ac oru ma El kena kowos in oru.

when you shall listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
