Deuteronomy 31

1 Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin mwet Israel

And Moses goes and speaks 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 says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass 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.

Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken.

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 YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, 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 YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command 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, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you.”

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 calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you 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 YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”

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 writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly 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 commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,

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.

in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim 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.

Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed 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 their sons, who have not known, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in 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 YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;

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 has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found me?

18 Na nga ac fah tia kasrelos, mweyen elos orekma koluk ac alu nu sin god saya.

And I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other gods.

19 “Inge, simusla on soko inge, ac luti nu sin mwet Israel tuh in mwe loh lainulos.

And now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons 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,

When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken 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.”

then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”

22 Ke len sacna, Moses el simusla on soko ah, ac luti nu sin mwet Israel.

And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons 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.”

Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”

24 Moses el simusla Ma Sap nukewa lun God in sie book limlim.

And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,

25 Ke el aksafyela, el fahk nu sin mwet tol Levi su liyaung Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD,

that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, 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 Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;

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 have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also 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.

Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify 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 have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”

30 Na Moses el fahk kas ke on soko ah nufon ke mwet Israel nukewa elos lohng.

And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
