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 thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee 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, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast 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.

thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye 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.

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto 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.

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

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 thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy 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 which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto 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.

thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

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

but thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon 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.

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to draw thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee 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.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

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

If thou shalt hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee 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 thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

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

then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee;

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

thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and the cattle thereof, 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.

And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, unto the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; 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,

And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

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

when thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
