Deuteronomy 26
1 “Tukun kowos muta tari fin facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos ac oakwuki we,
When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it,
2 kais sie suwos enenu in filiya fahko se meet ke kosrani lowos nu in sie fotoh, ac kowos fah usla ke kowos som nu ke acn sefanna LEUM GOD lowos El sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sel we.
you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,
3 Som nu yurin mwet tol su orekma in pacl sac ac fahk nu sel, ‘Inge nga lungse fahkak nu sin LEUM GOD luk lah nga utyak nu in facl se su El wuleang nu sin papa matu tumasr mu El ac ase nu sesr.’
to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 “Na mwet tol sac el fah eis fotoh sac, ac likiya ye mutun loang lun LEUM GOD lom.
Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your God,
5 Na kom fah fahk kas inge ye mutun LEUM GOD: ‘Papa matu tumuk el sie mwet Aram su takusrkasr ac usla sou lal nu Egypt in muta we. Elos tuh mwet na pu ke pacl se elos som nu we, na tok elos orala sie mutunfacl na lulap ac ku.
and you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
6 Mwet Egypt uh orekut arulana koluk ac sap ku nu sesr in orekma oana mwet kohs.
But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.
7 Na kut wowoyak ac suk kasru sin LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr. El porongekut ac liye lupan keok, orekma upa, ac ongoiya lasr.
So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.
8 Ke ku lulap lal El molikutla liki Egypt. El orala mwenmen ac ma usrnguk, oayapa mwe aksangeng puspis.
Then the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, signs, and wonders.
9 El uskutme ac ase sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we.
And He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Inge nga use nu sin LEUM GOD fahko se meet ke kosrani ma El ase nu sik.’ “Na filiya fotoh sacn ye mutun LEUM GOD ac alu nu sel we.
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.
11 Kaksakin ma wo nukewa ma LEUM GOD lom El sot nu sum ac sou lom; ac lela mwet Levi ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos in wi kowos akfulatyal.
So you shall rejoice—you, the Levite, and the foreigner dwelling among you—in all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household.
12 “Yac tolu nukewa kom in sang sie tafu singoul ke ma kom kosrani nu sin mwet Levi, mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas, tuh in acn nukewa elos muta we elos fah ku in akfalye enenu lalos ke mwe mongo. Ke kom orala tari,
When you have finished laying aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you are to give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat and be filled within your gates.
13 na kom fah fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, ‘Wangin ma lula ke sie tafu singoul ma mutal su srakna oan in lohm sik. Nga sang nu sin mwet Levi, mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas, oana ke kom sapkin nu sik. Nga tiana seakos ku mulkunla kutena ma kom sapkin ke sie tafu singoul.
Then you shall declare in the presence of the LORD your God, “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all the commandments You have given me. I have not transgressed or forgotten Your commandments.
14 Nga tia kangla kutena ma kac ke pacl nga eoksra. Nga tia usla kutena ma kac liki lohm sik ke pacl nga tia nasnas, ac nga tia sang kutena ma kac tuh in sie mwe kisa nu ke mwet misa. LEUM GOD, nga akos kom na. Nga oru ma nukewa kom sapkin in orek ke sie tafu singoul in ma luk.
I have not eaten any of the sacred portion while in mourning, or removed any of it while unclean, or offered any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have done everything You commanded me.
15 Ngeta liki acn mutal sum inkusrao, ac akinsewowoye mwet lom, mwet Israel. Akinsewowoye pac facl wolana ac kasrup fohk we ma kom ase nu sesr, oana kom tuh wuleang nu sin papa matu tumasr meet ah.
Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land You have given us as You swore to our fathers—a land flowing with milk and honey.”
16 “Misenge LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu suwos tuh kowos in akos ma sap lal nukewa. Ouinge kowos in oaru in akos ke insiowos nufon.
The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these statutes and ordinances. You must be careful to follow them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Misenge kowos fahkak tari lah LEUM GOD El God lowos. Kowos wulela pac in aksol, in liyaung ma sap lal nukewa, ac in oru ma nukewa El sapkin.
Today you have proclaimed that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in His ways, keep His statutes and commandments and ordinances, and listen to His voice.
18 Misenge LEUM GOD El eis kowos tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke El tuh wuleot nu suwos; ac El sapkin tuh kowos in akos ma sap lal nukewa.
And today the LORD has proclaimed that you are His people and treasured possession as He promised, that you are to keep all His commandments,
19 El fah akfulatye kowos yohk liki kutena mutunfacl saya ma El orala, ac kowos fah oru tuh Inel in kaksakinyuk ac sunakinyuk. Kowos fah mwet lal sifacna, oana ma El wulela.”
that He will set you high in praise and name and honor above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the LORD your God, as He has promised.
