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 thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee 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 hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle 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 dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all 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 is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.

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

'Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to 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.

except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle — there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming 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 hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to 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 dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.

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

'Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost 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 hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless 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 hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,

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

and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done 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.

'The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;

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 hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [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 thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.

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 doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;

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

each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to 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 authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people — a 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 dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth 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.

Righteousness — righteousness thou dost pursue, so that thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to 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 dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

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

and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating.
