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 Pesac ·Passover· to Adonai your God; for in the month of Abib Adonai your God brought you out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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.

You shall sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· to Adonai your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Adonai 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.

You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread· with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] in haste; that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] all the days of your 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.

No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, 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.

You may not sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· within any of your gates, which Adonai your God gives you;

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 Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].

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.

You shall roast and eat it in the place which Adonai your God chooses. In the morning you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to your tents.

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.

You shall keep the festival of Shavu'ot ·Weeks· / Pentacost ·Fifty· to Adonai your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as Adonai your God blesses you.

You shall rejoice before Adonai your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite [Descendant of United with] who is within your gates, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow, who are among you, in the place which Adonai your 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.

You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt [Abode of slavery]. You shall observe and do these statutes.

You shall keep Sukkot ·Booths· seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press.

You shall keep a feast to Adonai your God seven days in the place which Adonai chooses; because Adonai your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.

Three times in a year all of your males shall appear before Adonai your God in the place which he chooses: in the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·, in the festival of Shavu'ot ·Weeks· / Pentacost ·Fifty·, and in the festival of Sukkot ·Booths·. They shall not appear before Adonai empty.

You shall not pervert mishpat ·justice·. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the upright.

Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Adonai your God hates.
