Deuteronomy 16

1 “Kowos in oru Kufwen Alukela in malem Abib in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, mweyen sie fong ke malem Abib pa El tuh molikowosla liki facl Egypt.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God; for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Som nu ke acn se LEUM GOD El sulela kowos in alu we, ac uniya soko sheep, ku cow ingo tuh in mwe mongo ke Kufwen Alukela in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.

3 Ke kowos kang mongo se inge, nimet kang bread orekla ke mwe pulol. Ke len itkosr kowos fah kang bread ma wangin mwe pulol kac, oana ke kowos tuh oru pacl se kowos sulaklak illa liki Egypt. Kang bread se inge — ac fah pangpang bread in keok — tuh in lusen moul lowos kowos fah esam len se kowos ilme liki Egypt, facl in keok sac.

Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for in haste didst thou come forth out of the land of Egypt; that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

4 Ke lusen len itkosr, wangin mwet in facl suwos uh fah oasr kutena mwe pulol in lohm sel. Ac ikwen kosro soko ma anwuki ke eku in len se meet, fah mongola ke fong sacna.

And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all they borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 “Kowos in tia oru kisa in Alukela lowos in kutena siti ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover-offering within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee;

6 Acn se na ma LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sel we, pa acn sefanna kowos fah oru kisa in Alukela we. Oru ke ekela, pacl se faht uh tili, mweyen pa inge pulan pacl se ke len se kowos tuh mukuiyak liki acn Egypt.

but at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause His name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

7 Akmolyela ikwa sac ac kang ke acn se na ma LEUM GOD El ac sulela kowos in alu nu sel we. Lotutang tok an kowos folokla nu yen suwos.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

8 Ke len onkosr toko kowos fah mongo bread ma wangin mwe pulol kac, ac ke len se akitkosr, kowos tukeni in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, ac tia oru kutena orekma.

Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work therein.

9 “Oakma wik itkosr tukun pacl se kowos mutawauk kosrani wheat,

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee; from the time the sickle is first put to the standing corn shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.

10 na oru Kufwen Kosrani in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos. Use nu yorol mwe kisa ke engan na lun kais sie mwet, fal nu ke lupan ma God El akinsewowoye kowos kac.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God after the measure of the freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as the LORD thy God blesseth thee.

11 Kowos in arulana engan ye mutun LEUM GOD, wi tulik nutuwos, mwet kulansap lowos, ac mwet Levi, mwetsac, tulik mukaimtal, ac katinmas su muta in siti suwos an. Oru ma inge ke acn se na ma LEUM GOD El sulela kowos in alu nu sel we.

And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within they gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.

12 Esamna in akos ma sap inge; nimet mulkunla lah kowos tuh mwet kohs in facl Egypt.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

13 “Tukun kowos sisla kulun wheat nukewa lowos, ac itungya grape nukewa nu ke wain, kowos in akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk ke lusen len itkosr.

Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress.

14 Engankin kufwa se inge wi tulik nutuwos, mwet kulansap lowos, ac mwet Levi, mwetsac, tulik mukaimtal, ac katinmas su muta in siti suwos uh.

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

15 Akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos ke kowos oru kufwa se inge, ac oru ke len itkosr in acn se ma El sulela kowos in alu nu sel we. Kowos in arulana engan, mweyen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kosrani lowos ac orekma lowos.

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose; because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful.

16 “Mukul nukewa in mutunfacl suwos fah tuku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD pacl tolu ke yac se, ke acn in alu se ma solla tari: ke Kufwen Alukela, Kufwen Kosrani, ac Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk. Kais sie mukul fah use sie mwe sang,

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which He shall choose; on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the LORD empty;

17 fal nu ke lupan ma LEUM GOD lowos El akinsewowoyal kac.

every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which He hath given thee.

18 “Kowos sulela kutu mwet nununku ac mwet kol in siti nukewa ma LEUM GOD lowos El sot nu suwos. Mwet inge in nununku mwet ke suwohs ac tia wiwimwet.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, tribe by tribe; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

19 Elos in tia sesuwos ku fahkak srisri in nununku lalos uh; ac elos in tia eis molin eyeinse, mweyen molin eyeinse uh ku in aklosrye mutun mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet suwohs, pwanang elos orala nununku tia suwohs.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Kowos in oru ma fal ac suwohs pacl nukewa, tuh kowos fah ku in oakwuki in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El sot nu suwos.

Justice, justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

21 “Pacl kowos oru sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, nimet filiya mwe akul sak ke god mutan Asherah in oan sisken loang uh.

Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

22 Ac nimet kowos tulokunak kutena sru eot in alu nu kac. LEUM GOD El srunga.

Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, which the LORD thy God hateth.
