Deuteronomy 23
1 “Wangin sie mukul su twatala, ku sie su laslasla ma mukul lal fah oaoa mu el sie sin un mwet lun LEUM GOD.
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH.
2 “Wangin temti, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natul nu ke fwil aksingoul, fah ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of YHWH.
3 “Wangin mwet Amon ku mwet Moab, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natulos nwe ke fwil aksingoul, ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD,
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of YHWH for ever:
4 mweyen elos tuh srunga kite kowos mwe mongo ac kof ke fufahsryesr lowos ke kowos ilme liki facl Egypt, ac elos moleang nu sel Balaam wen natul Beor, liki siti Pethor in acn Mesopotamia, elan selngawi kowos.
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Tusruktu LEUM GOD lowos El tia porongal Balaam, a El ekulla mwe selnga sac nu ke sie mwe insewowo, ke sripen El lungse kowos.
Nevertheless YHWH thy Elohim would not hearken unto Balaam; but YHWH thy Elohim turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because YHWH thy Elohim loved thee.
6 Ke lusen pacl kowos oaoa in sie mutunfacl, kowos in tia oru kutena ma in kasru mutunfacl luo inge, ku oru elos in kapkapak.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7 “Nimet srunga mwet Edom, mweyen elos sou lowos. Oayapa nimet srunga mwet Egypt, mweyen sie pacl ah kowos tuh muta fin acn selos.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 Mutawauk ke fwil se aktolu me, fwilin tulik natulos ac ku in oaoayang nu inmasrlon mwet lun LEUM GOD.
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of YHWH in their third generation.
9 “Ke pacl kowos mutangan aktuktuk ke pacl in mweun uh, kowos fah karingin kowos liki kutena ouiya fohkfok.
When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10 Mukul se fin tia nasnas ke sripen el sororia ke mweme koluk lal ke fong, el enenu in illa liki nien aktuktuk ac muta lik ah.
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 Ke apkuran ekela ke len tok ah el fah oululla, ac ke faht uh tili el ku in foloko nu in nien aktuktuk uh.
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
12 “Akola sie acn likin nien aktuktuk in orekmakin oana sie nien fahsr.
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 Us soko sak in pukpuk wi kom, tuh ke pacl se kom enenu in fahsr tok, kom fah pukanak sie luf ac afinya.
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 Liyaung tuh nien aktuktuk suwos in nasnas pacl nukewa, mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El wi kowos in nien aktuktuk suwos, in loange kowos ac sot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet lokoalok lowos. Kowos in tia oru kutena lumah fohkfok ma ac pwanang LEUM GOD lowos Elan forla liki kowos.
For YHWH thy Elohim walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 “Fin oasr mwet kohs kaingla liki mwet kacto lalos ac tuku nu yuruwos tuh kowos in loangelosla, nik kowos folokunulosla.
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
16 Elos ku in muta in kutena siti suwos ma elos sulela, ac kowos in tia sulallal nu selos.
He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 “Wangin mwet Israel, mukul ku mutan, fah orek kosro in eis moul kac oana ma mwet pegan elos oru in tempul lalos.
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Oayapa, wangin mani kowos eis ke ouiya se inge fah utuku nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD lowos in akfalye sie wuleang. LEUM GOD El srunga mwet su muta in nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kosro in eis moul kac.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of YHWH thy Elohim for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto YHWH thy Elohim.
19 “Pacl se kom sang mani, ku mwe mongo ku kutena ma, nu sin sie mwet Israel wiom, kom in tia eis ma laesla.
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
20 Kom ku in siyuk ma laesla ke ma kom sang nu sin sie mwetsac, a tia ke ma kom sang nu sin mwet Israel wiom. Akos oakwuk se inge, ac LEUM GOD lom fah akinsewowoye ma nukewa kom oru fin facl se ma kom ac utyak ac oakwuki we.
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that YHWH thy Elohim may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21 “Ke kom oru sie wulela ku nu sin LEUM GOD lom, nik kom pahtlac in akfalye ma kom wulela kac. LEUM GOD El ac soano tuh kom in akfalye wuleang lom. Kom fin tia akfalyela, kom orekma koluk.
When thou shalt vow a vow unto YHWH thy Elohim, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for YHWH thy Elohim will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22 Tia ma koluk se kom fin tia orek wulela nu sin LEUM GOD,
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 tusruktu kom fin sifacna lungse oru sie wuleang, esam na lah kom enenu na in akfalye.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto YHWH thy Elohim, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24 “Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in grape lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang grape uh ke na lungse lom. Tusruktu kom fin illa liki, nimet us kutena grape ke mwe neinyuk lom.
When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
25 Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in wheat lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang kutena fiten wheat ma kom olela ke poum, tusruktu kom fah tia sang mitmit nutum an pakela wheat an.
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
