< Deuteronomy 22 >

1 “Kom fin liye cow ku sheep nutin mwet Israel wiom forfor likin kalkal, nimet kom pilesru. Sruokya ac folokunla nu yurin mwet natu ah.
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.
2 Tusruktu mwet se natu fin tuh muta loesla, ku kom fin nikin lah nutin su, na tari kom usla nu inkul sum sifacna. Ke mwet se natu ah tuku suk, na kom sang nu sel.
If your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.
3 Oru oapana inge kom fin konauk soko donkey, ku nuknuk se, ku kutena ma saya ma tuhlac ku nikinyukla sin mwet Israel wiom.
So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide yourself.
4 “Fin soko donkey ku soko cow nutin sie mwet Israel wiom ikori inkanek uh, nik kom pilesru. Kasrel ac welul tulokunak.
You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.
5 “Mutan uh in tia nukum nuknuk in mukul, ac mukul in tia nukum nuknuk in mutan. Lumah ouinge uh mwe srungayuk yurin LEUM GOD lowos.
A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
6 “Kom fin konauk ahng lun sie won ulun sak uh ku infohk uh ke kientop sac apis atro ku won fusr natul, kom fah tia usla kientop sac.
If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.
7 Kom ku in us won fusr uh, tusruk kom enenu in filiya kientop sac, tuh moul lom fah loes ac insewowo.
You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
8 “Ke kom musai sie lohm sasu, esam in orala sie kalkal rauneak mangon lohm uh, na mwet fin putatla liki mangon lohm uh ac misa, ac fah wangin koluk lom kac.
When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.
9 “Nik kom yukwi sie pac kain in sacn ke ima in grape sunom. Kom fin oru ouinge, ac fah oal nu sum in orekmakin kewana — grape uh ac fahko ke sacn saya.
You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
10 “Nik kom kapreni cow mukul soko ac donkey soko in tukeni amakin plao nutum.
You shall not plough with an ox and a donkey together.
11 “Ke kom orek nuknuk, kom fah tia sisani turet ma orekla ke unen sheep ac turet orekla ke flax in oan ke nuknuk sefanna.
You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 “Orala mwe yun ke turet in oan atla ke sruwasrik akosr ke polo nuknuk afinyom.
You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.
13 “Fin pa sie mukul el payuk sin sie mutan fusr, na tok mukul sac el srungalla,
If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,
14 na el kinauk kas kikiap lainul, ac fahk mu ke eltal payukyak el konauk tuh na mutan sac el tia virgin se.
accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”
15 “Fin sikyak ouiya se inge, papa ac nina kien mutan fusr sac fah us sie mwe akpwaye lah mutan fusr se natultal ah virgin se, ac eltal fah us nu ke acn in nununku, tuh mwet kol lun siti sac in liye.
then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
16 Papa tumun mutan fusr sac fah fahk nu selos, ‘Nga sang acn nutik in payukyak sin mukul se inge, a inge mukul sac el srungalla.
The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
17 El kinauk kas kikiap lainul ke el fahk mu mutan se inge tia virgin se ke pacl se eltal marutla. Tusruktu oasr mwe akpwaye lah acn nutik el tuh virgin se. Liye, pa inge mwe akpwaye.’ Na el fah laknelik kaot in marut laltal ye mutalos.
Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 Na mwet kol lun siti sac fah eis mukul tumun mutan sac ac srunglul.
The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
19 Elos fah oayapa sap elan moli ipin silver siofok ac sang nu sin papa tumun mutan fusr sac, mweyen mukul sac el tuh akkolukye inen sie mutan virgin lun Israel. Sayen ma inge, mutan sac el ac srakna ma kien mukul sac, ac mukul sac fah tia ku in sisulla ke lusenna moul lal.
They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 “Tusruktu, fin pwaye tukak lun mukul sac, ac wangin mwe akpwaye lah mutan sac el tuh virgin se,
But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,
21 na elos fah usla mutan sac nu ke mutunoa in lohm sin papa tumal, na mukul in siti sac fah tanglal nwe ke el misa, mweyen el orala sie mwe mwekin in facl Israel ke el oan yurin mukul meet liki el payuk, ke el srakna muta in lohm sin papa tumal. Ouinge kowos fah sisla ouiya koluk se inge liki Israel.
then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you.
22 “Mukul se fin koneyukyak ke el oan yurin mutan kien sie pacna mukul, eltal na kewa fah anwuki. Ouinge kowos fah sisla ouiya koluk se inge liki Israel.
If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.
23 “Mukul se fin koneyukyak in sie siti ke el oan yurin sie mutan fusr su ako nu sin siena mukul,
If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
24 kowos fah usaltalla nu likin siti uh ac tanglaltal nwe ke eltal misa. Mutan fusr sac in misa mweyen el tia wowoyak in suk kasru, sruhk el muta in siti uh yen mwet uh ac ku in lohng pusracl. Ac mukul sac elan misa mweyen el oan yurin mutan fusr se su ako nu sin siena mukul. Pa inge ma kowos in oru tuh ouiya koluk inge in tia sifil sikyak inmasrlowos.
then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you.
25 “Sie mukul fin sruinkuiya mutan fusr se su ako nu sin siena mukul ke eltal muta likin siti uh, na mukul sac mukena fah anwuki.
But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;
26 Wangin ma ac orek nu sin mutan fusr sac, mweyen el tia orala ma koluk ma fal nu ke misa. Ouiya se inge oana ke sie mukul el anwuk nu sin sie pac mukul ac unilya.
but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbour and kills him, even so is this matter;
27 Ke sripen eltal muta likin siti uh, mutan sac el ne wowoyak in kasreyuk el, wangin mwet we in kasrel.
for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
28 “Mukul se fin koneyukyak ke el sruinkui sie mutan fusr su soenna oasr mwet ako nu sel,
If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
29 na mukul sac fah moli nu sin papa tumun mutan sac ke ipin silver lumngaul, fal nu ke molin payuk se. Na mutan fusr sac fah payukyak sel, mweyen mukul sac el akkohsyel elan oan yorol. Mukul sac fah tia ku in sisella ke lusenna moul lal.
then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
30 “Wangin sie mukul fah akmwekinye papa tumal ke orek kosro yurin kutena sin mutan kien papa tumal.
A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
