Deuteronomy 30
1 “Inge nga sot nu suwos tuh kowos in sulela inmasrlon mwe insewowo ac mwe selnga. Ke pacl se ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu suwos, ac kowos muta inmasrlon mutunfacl yen LEUM GOD lowos El akfahsryekowoselik nu we, kowos ac esamak sulela se inge ma nga sot nu suwos.
“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 Kowos, ac fwilin tulik nutuwos, fin foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD ac akos ma sap lal su nga sot nu suwos misenge ke insiowos nufon,
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 na LEUM GOD lowos fah pakomutowos. El ac fah folokinkowosme liki mutunfacl nukewa El akfahsryekowoselik nu we, ac El ac sifilpa folokonak moul in insewowo lowos meet ah.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Kowos finne fahsrelik nu yen loessula faclu, LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah eiskowoseni nu sie ac folokinkowosme
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 kowos in mau ku in sifilpa eis suwos facl se ma mwet matu lowos tuh muta we meet ah. Oayapa El ac fah oru tuh kowos in kasrup liki, ac pus liki, fwil lun papa matu tomowos meet ah.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 LEUM GOD lowos El ac sot nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos inse akosten, tuh kowos in lungse El ke insiowos nufon, ac kowos fah mutana in facl sac.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 El ac fah furokla mwe selnga inge nukewa tuh in ma nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos, su tuh srungakowos ac akkeokye kowos.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Na kowos fah sifilpa aksol ac liyaung ma sap lal nukewa ma nga sot nu suwos misenge.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 LEUM GOD El ac fah akinsewowoye kowos in ma nukewa kowos oru — ac fah puseni tulik nutuwos ac cow nutuwos, ac ima lowos ac fah isus fahko puspis. El ac fah arulana engan in oru tuh kowos in kapkapak oana ke El tuh oru nu sin papa matu tomowos.
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 Tusruktu kowos ac enenu in aksol ac liyaung ma sap nukewa ma simla in book in ma sap lal inge. Kowos fah enenu in forla nu sel ke insiowos nufon.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 “Ma nga sapkin nu suwos misenge tia upala nu suwos, ku ma kowos ac koflana in oru.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 Tia oasr oe inkusrao. Kowos tia enenu in siyuk, ‘Su fah utyak ac usya ma sap inge nu yorosr, kut in ku in lohng kac ac akos?’
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 Tia pac oan lac meoa ingo. Kowos tia enenu in siyuk, ‘Su fah som fin kof uh lac ac use nu yorosr, kut in ku in lohng kac ac akos?’
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Mo, oasr na yuruwos inge. Kowos etu kac, ac ku na in fahk ke oaluwos. Ouinge kowos in akos.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 “Misenge nga sot tuh kowos in sulela inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk; inmasrlon moul ac misa.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 Nga sapkin nu suwos misenge tuh kowos in lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac aksol, ac liyaung ma sap lal, oakwuk lal, ac nununku lal nukewa, na kowos ac fah kapkapak ac orala sie mutunfacl lulap. LEUM GOD lowos fah akinsewowoye kowos in facl se su kowos apkuran in oakwuki we.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 “Tusruktu kowos fin seakos ac srangesr lohng kas, ac fahsr tokolos su alu nu ke god saya,
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 nga fahkak kalem nu suwos lah kowos ac fah kunausyukla. Kowos ac tia moul paht fin facl se ingo ma kowos apkuran in alukela Infacl Jordan in utyak ac oakwuki we.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Inge nga sot tuh kowos in sulela inmasrlon moul ac misa, inmasrlon insewowo lun God ac selnga lun God, ac nga pang nu sin kusrao ac faclu in orek loh ke sulela lowos. Kowos in sulela moul.
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 Lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac aksol, ac kowos in inse pwaye nu sel, na kowos, ac fwilin tulik nutuwos, fah moul paht fin facl se su El tuh wulela kac mu El ac sang nu sin papa matu tomowos — Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.”
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
