Deuteronomy 25
1 “Fin pa mwet Israel luo som nu ke acn in nununku in aksuwosye sie alein inmasrloltal, na akkalemyeyuk lah sie seltal wangin mwatal, ac sie oasr mwata.
“When there is a strife between men, and they have come near to the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrongdoer,
2 Na fin fal mwet se ma sutuela in kaiyuk ke sringsring, mwet nununku sac fah sap elan oankiyuki in sringsring el. Pisen sringsring nu sel enenu in fal nu ke lupan ma koluk el orala.
then it has come to pass, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge has caused him to fall down, and [one] has struck him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrongdoing, by number;
3 Ku in sringsring el pacl angngaul, tuh in tia alukela. Fin pus liki, na ac fah arulana mwe akmwekinyal.
he strikes him forty [times]; he is not adding, lest he is adding to strike him above these many stripes, and your brother be lightly esteemed in your eyes.
4 “Nik kom kapriya oalin soko cow mukul ke kom orekmakunul in lolongya wheat uh.
You do not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
5 “Tamulel se fin tukeni muta ke acn sefanna, ac sie seltal misa a wangin wen natul, na katinmas sac fah tia payuk nu sin mwet sayen sou sac. Ma kunen tamulel lun mwet misa sac in payuk sel.
When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died and has no son, the wife of the dead is not given to a strange man; her husband’s brother goes in to her, and has taken her to him for a wife, and performs the duty of her husband’s brother;
6 Wen se emeet natultal ac fah oaoa mu ma nutin tamulel misa sac, tuh takin sou lal fah tutaflana in Israel.
and it has been, the firstborn which she bears rises for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
7 Tusruktu tamulel lun mukul misa sac fin tia lungse payuk sel, na mutan sac fah som nu ye mutun mwet kol lun siti sac ke nien nununku ac fahk, ‘Tamulel lun mukul tumuk el tia akfalye ma kunal; el srunga in sang tuh in oasr fita lun tamulel lal inmasrlon mwet Israel.’
And if the man does not delight to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife has gone up to the gate, to the elderly, and said, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up a name for his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother;
8 Na mwet kol lun siti sac fah solama mukul sac ac sramsram nu sel. El fin srakna srunga payuk sel,
and [the] elderly of his city have called for him, and spoken to him, and he has stood and said, I have no desire to take her.
9 na katinmas kien tamulel lal fah kalukyang nu yorol ye mutun mwet kol lun siti uh, sarukla la fahluk lun mukul sac, aniya mutal ac fahk, ‘Pa inge ma sikyak nu sin sie mukul su tia lungse sang fita lun tamulel lal.’
Then his brother’s wife has drawn near to him before the eyes of the elderly, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother;
10 Sou lal fah eteyuk yurin mwet Israel mu ‘sou lun mukul se su sarukyukla fahluk lal.’
and his name has been called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
11 “Mukul luo fin anwuk, ac mutan kien sie srike in kasru mukul tumal ke el iseya ma mukul lun mwet se ngia,
When men strive together with one another, and the wife of one has drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his striker, and has put forth her hand, and laid hold on his private parts,
12 nimet pakomutun mutan sac. Pakela la paol.
then you have cut off her hand; your eye does not spare.
13 “Kowos in tia kiapu mwet ke kowos orekmakin kain in mwe paun luo — sie nu ke moli ma sin mwet, ac sie nu ke kukakunla ma nu sin mwet.
You do not have [both] a great stone and a small stone in your bag.
14 Ac kowos in tia pac orekmakin mwe srikasrak luo ma tia oana sie — sie nu ke ma kom moli, ac sie nu ke ma kom kukakunla.
You do not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house.
15 Orekmakin mwe paun ac mwe srikasrak suwohs ac pwaye, tuh kowos in moul paht fin facl se LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
You have a complete and just stone, [and] you have a complete and just ephah, so that they prolong your days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you;
16 LEUM GOD El kwase kutena mwet su kutasrik ac sesuwos.
for anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
17 “Esam ma mwet Amalek tuh oru nu suwos ke kowos tuku Egypt me.
Remember that which Amalek has done to you in the way in your going out from Egypt,
18 Elos tiana sangeng sin God, ac elos tuku tukuwos ke pacl kowos totola ac munasla, ac onela mwet nukewa su fahsr tok ah.
that he has met you in the way, and strikes among you all those feeble behind you (when you [were] weary and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
19 Na ke LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos facl sac, ac oru kowos moulla liki mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa su muta raunikowosla, kowos in onela mwet Amalek nukewa, tuh in wangin mwet sifil esamulos. Nik kowos mulkunla!
And it has been, in your God YHWH giving rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it, you blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens—you do not forget.”
