Deuteronomy 4
1 Na Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma nga luti kowos kac, na kowos fah ku in moul ac muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El sot nu suwos.
'And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you.
2 Nik kowos laesla kutena ma nu ke ma nga sapkin nu suwos, ac nik kowos eisla kutena ma liki. Akos ma sap nukewa lun LEUM GOD lowos ma nga sot nu suwos.
Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.
3 Kowos sifacna liye ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru Fineol Peor. El onelosla nukewa su alu nu sel Baal we,
'Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst;
4 a kowos nukewa su inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kowos srakna moul nwe misenge.
and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, [are] alive, all of you, to-day.
5 “Nga tuh luti kowos ma sap nukewa, oana ke LEUM GOD luk El fahk ngan oru. Kowos in akos ma sap inge in facl se su kowos apkuran in mweuni in eisla lowos.
'See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me — to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;
6 Ke kowos oaru in liyaung ma sap inge, ac fah akkalemye nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya lupan lalmwetmet lowos. Ke pacl elos ac lohng ma sap inge, elos ac fahk, ‘Seyal yohk lalmwetmet ac etauk lun mutunfacl lulap se inge!’
and ye have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.
7 “Wangin kutena mutunfacl, finne arulana yohk, oasr god se su apkuran nu selos ke pacl elos enenu, in oana LEUM GOD lasr El apkuran nu sesr. El topuk kut pacl nukewa kut pang nu sel.
'For which [is] the great nation that hath God near unto it, as Jehovah our God, in all we have called unto him?
8 Wangin kutena mutunfacl, finne yohk, oasr ma sap lalos arulana suwohs, oana ma sap nga luti nu suwos misenge.
and which [is] the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?
9 Kowos in arulana taran ac karinganang tuh kowos in tia mulkunla ma kowos sifacna liye ke motowos, ke lusen moul lowos nufon. Srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ac nu sin tulik nutin tulik nutuwos.
'Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons' sons.
10 ke len se kowos tuh tu ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos Fineol Sinai, ke El fahk nu sik, ‘Eisani mwet uh nu sie. Nga lungse elos in lohng ma nga ac fahk uh, ouinge elos ac fah ku in lutlut in akosyu ke lusen moul lalos, ac oapaya loteang tulik natulos in akosyu.’
'The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb — in Jehovah's saying unto me, Assemble to Me the people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and their sons they teach; —
11 “Srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ke pacl se kowos tuh som tu pe eol soko ah, su nukla ke kulasr matoltol ac lohsr, ac e uh firir nwe lucng.
and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens — darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness:
12 Srumun nu selos lah LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu suwos liki e sac, ac kowos lohng pusracl a tiana liyal in kutena lumah.
'And Jehovah speaketh unto you out of the midst of the fire; a voice of words ye are hearing and a similitude ye are not seeing, only a voice;
13 El fwackot nu suwos ma kowos enenu in oru in karinganang wuleang ma El orala inmasrlowos — kowos in akos Ma Sap Singoul, su El simusla fin eot tupasrpasr luo.
and He declareth to you His covenant, which He hath commanded you to do, the Ten Matters, and He writeth them upon two tables of stone.
14 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in luti kowos ma sap nukewa su kowos enenu in akos in facl se su kowos apkuran in mweuni, eisla, ac oakwuki we.
'And me hath Jehovah commanded at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it;
15 “Pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu suwos liki e sac Fineol Sinai, kowos tiana liyal in kutena lumah. Ouinge kowos in arulana karinganang
and ye have been very watchful of your souls, for ye have not seen any similitude in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
16 tuh kowos in tia oru ma koluk ke kowos orala nu suwos sifacna sie ma sruloala in kutena lumah — tia ke luman mukul ku mutan,
lest ye do corruptly, and have made to you a graven image, a similitude of any figure, a form of male or female —
17 kosro ku won sohksok,
a form of any beast which [is] in the earth — a form of any winged bird which flieth in the heavens —
18 ma orakrak ku ik.
a form of any creeping thing on the ground — a form of any fish which [is] in the waters under the earth;
19 Ke kowos ngetak nu inkusrao ac liye faht, malem, ac itu uh, nik kowos tafongla in alu ac orekma nu kac. LEUM GOD lowos El orala ma inge nu sin mwet nukewa faclu.
'And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.
20 A kowos pa mutanfahl se su El molela liki facl Egypt, su oana sie funyu ma arulana fol mwe manman osra. El uskowosme liki acn we in oru tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke kowos oasr kac misenge.
'And you hath Jehovah taken, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people — an inheritance, as [at] this day.
21 Ke sripowos, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sik ac orala fulahk lah nga ac fah tia alukela Infacl Jordan in utyak nu in facl se ma wo fohk we, su El asot nu suwos.
'And Jehovah hath shewed himself wroth with me because of your words, and sweareth to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going in unto the good land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance;
22 Nga ac misa in acn se inge ac tia wi aliki infacl soko uh, tusruktu kowos apkuran in alukeot ac utyak muta fin acn wowo sac.
for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good land.
23 Karinganangna tuh kowos in tia mulkunla wuleang ma LEUM GOD El orala yuruwos. Akos ma El sapkin, ac tia oru kutena kain in ma sruloala nu suwos sifacna,
'Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything [concerning] which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:
24 mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El oana sie e firir; El tia lungse in oasr kutena god sayal.
for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming — a zealous God.
25 Tukun yac puspis, ke kowos okaki tari in facl sac ac oasr tulik nutuwos oayapa tulik nutin tulik nutuwos, nimet orekma koluk in orala ma sruloala nu suwos sifacna in kutena kain in lumah. Ma se inge sie ma koluk lulap ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac El ac fah arulana kasrkusrak kac.
'When thou begettest sons and sons' sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: —
26 Nga pangon kusrao ac faclu in orek loh lain kowos misenge lah kowos fin seakosyu, kowos ac sa na wanginla liki facl se ma kowos ac alukela Infacl Jordan in eis. Kowos ac tia muta paht we, a kowos fah arulana sikiyukla.
I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed;
27 LEUM GOD El ac fah akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl saya, yen mwet na pu suwos ac painmoulla.
and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah leadeth you,
28 In acn ingo, kowos ac kulansupu god su orekla ke poun mwet — god sak ac eot, god su tia ku in liye ku lohng, su tia ku in mongo ku ngok ma uh.
and ye have served there gods, work of man's hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 Kowos ac fah suk LEUM GOD lowos we, ac kowos fin sokol ke insiowos nufon, kowos fah konalak.
'And — ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
30 Pacl kowos sun mwe ongoiya, ac ma upa ingan sikyak nu suwos, na tok kowos ac fah forla nu sin LEUM GOD ac aksol.
in distress [being] to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;
31 El sie God pakoten. El ac fah tia kunauskowosla ku fahsr liki kowos, ac El ac fah tia mulkunla wuleang se su El sifacna orala yurin mwet matu lowos meet ah.
for a merciful God [is] Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which He hath sworn to them.
32 “Suk ke sramsram matu, ke pacl loeloes somla, meet liki kowos isusla, ke God El tufahna orala mwet faclu. Suk pac fin faclu nufon. Ku nu oasr ma yohk oana inge sikyak meet? Nu oasr mwet lohng kutena ma ouinge?
'For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even unto the [other] end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing — or hath been heard like it?
33 Ya nu oasr mwet moul na tukun elos lohng sie god sramsram nu selos liki sie e, oana kowos?
Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou — and doth live?
34 Ya nu oasr kutena god su srike in som eis sie un mwet liki sie pacna mutunfacl ac oru tuh elos in mwet lal sifacna, oana ke LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu suwos in Egypt? El orekmakin ku lulap ac fulat lal ye motowos. El use mwe lokoalok ac mweun, El orek mwenmen ac usrnguk, ac oru tuh mwe aksangeng puspis in sikyak.
Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors — according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes?
35 LEUM GOD El fahkak ma inge nu suwos, in akpwaye nu suwos lah El mukena pa God, ac wangin pac sie sayal.
Thou, thou hast been shewn [it], to know that Jehovah He [is] God; there is none else besides Him.
36 El oru tuh kowos in lohng pusral inkusrao me, tuh Elan ku in luti kowos; ac fin faclu El oru kowos in liye e firir mutal lal, ac El kaskas nu suwos liki e sac.
'From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire, and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire.
37 Ke sripen El lungse papa matu tomowos meet ah, El sulekowosla ac El sifacna uskowosme liki Egypt ke ku lulap lal.
'And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt:
38 El lusla mutunfacl lulap ac ku liki kowos meet liki kowos tuku sun acn ingan, tuh Elan ku in uskowosme ac asot facl sac nu suwos — facl se su srakna ma suwos nwe misenge.
to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land — an inheritance, as [at] this day.
39 Ke ma inge, misenge kowos in esam ac nimet mulkunla lah LEUM GOD El God lun kusrao ac faclu. Wangin sie god saya.
'And thou hast known to-day, and hast turned [it] back unto thy heart, that Jehovah He [is] God, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath — there is none else;
40 Akos ma sap lal nukewa ma nga asot nu suwos misenge, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos. Ac fah loes pacl lowos in muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos in lowos nwe tok.”
and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — all the days.'
41 Na Moses el srela tolu siti kutulap in Infacl Jordan
Then Moses separateth three cities beyond the Jordan, towards the sun-rising,
42 tuh sie mwet in ku in kaingla ac moulla we el fin uniya mwet se ke el tia oru in oaya, ac mwet sac el tia mwet lokoalok lal. El ku in kaing nu in sie siti inge, na ac tia anwuki el.
for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, who slayeth his neighbour unknowingly, and he is not hating him heretofore, and he hath fled unto one of these cities, and he hath lived:
43 Siti Bezer, su oan yen mwesis ke yen fulat tupasrpasr, ma nu sin sruf lal Reuben; siti Ramoth in acn Gilead, ma nu sin sruf lal Gad; ac siti Golan in acn Bashan, ma nu sin sruf lal Manasseh.
Bezer, in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, of the Reubenite; and Ramoth, in Gilead, of the Gadite; and Golan, in Bashan, of the Manassahite.
44 Moses el sang ma sap lun God nu sin mwet Israel, wi mwe luti saya.
And this [is] the law which Moses hath set before the sons of Israel;
45 Pa inge kas in luti ac ma sap ac ma oakwuk ma Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Israel tukun elos ilme liki Egypt,
these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, in their coming out of Egypt,
46 ke elos muta infahlfal kutulap in Infacl Jordan, tulanang Bethpeor. Acn se inge tuh ma lal Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor, su leumi Heshbon, a Moses ac mwet Israel elos tuh kutangulla ke elos tuku liki Egypt.
beyond the Jordan, in the valley over-against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have smitten, in their coming out of Egypt,
47 Elos eisla acn lal ac acn lal Tokosra Og lun Bashan, sie pac tokosra lun mwet Amor su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
and they possess his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [towards] the sun-rising;
48 Acn se inge mutawauk ke siti Aroer, ke sisken Infacl Arnon, utyak epang nwe ke Eol Sion, su pangpang pac Fineol Hermon,
from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon —
49 ac sisani acn nukewa kutulap in Infacl Jordan som eir lac nu ke Meoa Misa, ac nu kutulap nu pe Eol Pisgah.
and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
