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 Yhwh thy God: for in the month of Abib Yhwh 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.

Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto Yhwh thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yhwh shall choose to place his name 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 thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: 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 leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst 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 within any of thy gates, which Yhwh 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 Yhwh thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover 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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh 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: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the grain.

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 Yhwh thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as Yhwh thy God hath blessed 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 Yhwh thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which Yhwh thy God hath chosen to place his name 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 observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy threshingfloor and thy wine:

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 manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, 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 solemn feast unto Yhwh thy God in the place which Yhwh shall choose: because Yhwh thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

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 Yhwh thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before Yhwh 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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just 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 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.

That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which Yhwh 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 a grove of any trees near unto the altar of Yhwh 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 any image; which Yhwh thy God hateth.
