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.
“No one wounded, bruised, or cut in the genitals enters into the assembly 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 does not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of him does not enter into the assembly 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 and a Moabite do not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of them do not enter into the assembly of YHWH—for all time,
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 that they have not come before you with bread and with water in the way, in your coming out from Egypt, and because he has hired against you Balaam son of Beor, of Pethor of Aram-Naharaim, to revile you;
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.
and your God YHWH has not been willing to listen to Balaam, and your God YHWH turns the reviling to a blessing for you, because your God YHWH has loved you;
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.
you do not seek their peace and their good all your days—for all time.
7 “Nimet srunga mwet Edom, mweyen elos sou lowos. Oayapa nimet srunga mwet Egypt, mweyen sie pacl ah kowos tuh muta fin acn selos.
You do not detest an Edomite, for he [is] your brother; you do not detest an Egyptian, for you have been a sojourner in his land;
8 Mutawauk ke fwil se aktolu me, fwilin tulik natulos ac ku in oaoayang nu inmasrlon mwet lun LEUM GOD.
sons who are begotten of them, a third generation of them, enter into the assembly of YHWH.
9 “Ke pacl kowos mutangan aktuktuk ke pacl in mweun uh, kowos fah karingin kowos liki kutena ouiya fohkfok.
When a camp goes out against your enemies, then you have kept from every evil 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.
When there is a man who is not clean in you, from an accident at night, then he has gone out to the outside of the camp; he does not come into the midst of 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.
and it has been, at the turning of the evening, he bathes with water, and at the going in of the sun he comes into the midst of the camp.
12 “Akola sie acn likin nien aktuktuk in orekmakin oana sie nien fahsr.
And you have a station at the outside of the camp, and you have gone out there outside;
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 you have a peg on your staff, and it has been, in your sitting outside, that you have dug with it, and turned back, and covered your filth.
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 your God YHWH is walking up and down in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give your enemies before you, and your camp has been holy, and He does not see the nakedness of anything in you, and has turned back from after you.
15 “Fin oasr mwet kohs kaingla liki mwet kacto lalos ac tuku nu yuruwos tuh kowos in loangelosla, nik kowos folokunulosla.
You do not shut up a servant to his lord, who escapes to you from his lord;
16 Elos ku in muta in kutena siti suwos ma elos sulela, ac kowos in tia sulallal nu selos.
he dwells with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it is pleasing to him; you do 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 is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor is there a whoremonger among 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.
you do not bring the wage of a whore or the price of a dog into the house of your God YHWH for any vow; for even both of them [are] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
19 “Pacl se kom sang mani, ku mwe mongo ku kutena ma, nu sin sie mwet Israel wiom, kom in tia eis ma laesla.
You do not lend in usury to your brother—usury of money, usury of food, usury of anything which is lent on 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.
You may lend in usury to a stranger, but you do not lend in usury to your brother, so that your God YHWH blesses you in every putting forth of your hand on the land to where you go in 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 you vow a vow to your God YHWH, you do not delay to complete it; for your God YHWH certainly requires it from you, lest it has been sin in you.
22 Tia ma koluk se kom fin tia orek wulela nu sin LEUM GOD,
And when you refrain to vow, it is not sin in you.
23 tusruktu kom fin sifacna lungse oru sie wuleang, esam na lah kom enenu na in akfalye.
You keep and have done the utterance of your lips, as you have vowed to your God YHWH, a free-will offering which you have spoken with your 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 you come into the vineyard of your neighbor, then you have eaten grapes according to your desire, your sufficiency, but you do not put [any] into your 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 you come in among the standing grain of your neighbor, then you have plucked the ears with your hand, but you do not wave a sickle over the standing grain of your neighbor.”
