Deuteronomy 31
1 Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin mwet Israel
And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;
2 ac fahk, “Inge nga yac siofok longoul matwuk, ac nga tia ku in sifil mwet kol nu suwos. Sayen ma inge, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik mu nga fah tia alukela Infacl Jordan.
and he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah som meet liki kowos ac kunausla mutunfacl ingo tuh kowos in ku in eisla acn selos. Na Joshua el fah mwet kol lowos, oana LEUM GOD El fahk.
Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.
4 LEUM GOD El fah kunausla mwet ingo in oana ke El kutangulla Sihon ac Og, tokosra lun mwet Amor, ac kunausla facl selos.
And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
5 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kowos in kutangulosla, na kowos in oru nu selos oana ke nga sapkin nu suwos.
And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
6 Kowos in ku ac pulaik na. Nimet sangeng selos. LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah wi kowos. El fah tiana som liki kowos, a El ac fah wi kowos in kasrekowos.”
Be strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
7 Na Moses el pangnolma Joshua ac fahk nu sel ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa, “Kom in ku ac pulaik na. Kom pa ac kolla mwet inge in eis facl se ma LEUM GOD El wulela kac nu sin papa matu tumalos.
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 LEUM GOD El ac fah wi kom in kol kom. El ac fah tia siskomla ku fahsr liki kom. Ke ma inge nik kom fosrnga ku sangeng.
And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 Ke ma inge Moses el simusla Ma Sap lun God ac sang nu sin mwet tol Levi su karingin Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac nu sin mwet kol lun Israel.
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 El sapkin nu selos, “Ke saflaiyen yac itkosr nukewa, ke pacl se yac in tulala soemoul apkuranme, kowos riti kas inge nu sin mwet uh ke pacl in Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk.
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,
11 Riti nu sin mwet Israel ke elos ac tuku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos ke acn in alu sefanna El sulela tuh elos in alu nu sel we.
when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.
12 Pangoneni mwet nukewa nu sie — mukul, mutan, tulik, ac mwetsac su muta in siti suwos, tuh mwet nukewa fah ku in lohng ac lotela in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, ac in oaru in akos kas in luti lal.
Gather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and take heed to do all the words of this law;
13 Ke kowos oru ouinge, fwilin tulik nutuwos su soenna lohng ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD lowos fah lohng kac. Ac elos fah lutlut in aksol ke lusenna pacl elos muta in facl se su kowos apkuran in alukela Infacl Jordan in oakwuki we.”
and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Apkuranme pacl in misa lom. Solalma Joshua ac usalu nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tuh nga in sang ma kunal.” Na Moses ac Joshua som nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal,
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.
15 ac LEUM GOD El sikyang nu seltal we in sie sru in pukunyeng su tu sisken mutunoa lun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
And Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.
16 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Ac tia paht kom ac misa, na tukun kom misa mwet uh ac mutawauk in alu nu sin god puspis lun facl se elos ac utyak nu we. Elos fah sisyula ac kunausla wuleang ma nga orala yorolos.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Ke pacl se ma ingan ac sikyak, nga ac kasrkusrak selos. Nga fah fahsr lukelos, ac elos ac fah kunausyukla. Mwe ongoiya puspis ac fah tuku nu faclos, na elos ac fah akilenak lah ma inge sikyak nu selos mweyen nga, God lalos, tila welulos.
And my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my God is not in my midst?
18 Na nga ac fah tia kasrelos, mweyen elos orekma koluk ac alu nu sin god saya.
And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods.
19 “Inge, simusla on soko inge, ac luti nu sin mwet Israel tuh in mwe loh lainulos.
And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Nga fah usalos nu in facl mut ac kasrup fohk we inge, oana nga tuh wuleang nu sin papa matu tumalos. Ac fah arulana pukanten mongo nalos, oru elos arulana kihp ac insewowo. Tusruktu elos ac fah forla likiyu ac alu nu sin god saya. Elos ac fah pilesreyu ac kunausla wuleang luk yorolos,
For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
21 na mwe ongoiya puspis ac fah tuku nu faclos. Tusruktu elos, ac filin tulik natulos, fah onkakin on soko inge, su ac fah sie mwe loh lainulos. Finne meet liki nga usalos nu in facl se ma nga wulela in sang lalos, nga nuna etu na ma oan in nunak lalos.”
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn [unto them].
22 Ke len sacna, Moses el simusla on soko ah, ac luti nu sin mwet Israel.
And Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Joshua wen natul Nun ac fahk, “Kom in ku ac pulaik na. Kom ac fah kol mwet Israel nu in facl se ma nga wuleang nu selos kac, ac nga ac fah wi kom.”
And [Jehovah] commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.
24 Moses el simusla Ma Sap nukewa lun God in sie book limlim.
And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion,
25 Ke el aksafyela, el fahk nu sin mwet tol Levi su liyaung Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD,
that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,
26 “Eis book in Ma Sap se inge, ac usla filiya sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lowos, tuh in oanna we in sie mwe loh lain mwet lal.
Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee;
27 Nga etu lah elos arulana likkeke ac utuk nunak. Elos tunyuna lain LEUM GOD ke pacl nga moul, ac tukun nga ac misa elos ac fah tunyuna yohk liki na.
for I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death!
28 Eisani mwet kol lun sruf nukewa ac mwet fulat nu ye mutuk, tuh nga fah ku in fahk ma inge nu selos. Nga fah pangon kusrao ac faclu in orek loh luk lainulos.
Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them.
29 Nga etu lah tukun nga ac misa, mwet inge ac fah mutawauk in oru ma koluk ac pilesru ma nga luti nu selos. Na in pacl fahsru, elos ac fah sun mwe ongoiya, mweyen elos akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD ke elos oru ma El sap elos in tia oru.”
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 Na Moses el fahk kas ke on soko ah nufon ke mwet Israel nukewa elos lohng.
And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.
