Deuteronomy 6

1 “Pa inge ma sap nukewa LEUM GOD Iowos El sapkin nu sik in luti kowos kac. Akos ma sap inge fin facl se su kowos akola in utyak ac muta we.

These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,

2 Ke lusenna moul lowos, kowos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos an in akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, ac akos ma sap nukewa lal ma nga sot nu suwos, tuh kowos in ku in muta paht fin facl sac.

so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.

3 Mwet Israel, kowos in lohng ma sap inge, ac akos! Na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos, ac kowos fah ekla sie mutunfacl na ku, ac kowos fah muta in sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, in oana ke LEUM GOD lun papa tumasr El tuh wulela kac.

Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 “Lohng, O Israel! LEUM GOD, God lasr, El God sefanna.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.

5 Kom fah lungse LEUM GOD lom ke insiom kewa, ke ngunum kewa, ac ke ku lom kewa.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

6 Nimet mulkunla ma sap inge su nga sot nu sum misenge.

These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

7 Luti kas inge nu sin tulik nutum. Alken in luti pacl kom oasr in lohm sum, pacl kom fufahsryesr, pacl kom mongla, ac pacl kom orekma.

And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

8 Kapriya kas inge ke poum ac ke motonsrum, tuh in mwe akesmakinye kom.

Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

9 Simusla kas inge ke kosrusru in mutunoa ke lohm sum, ac ke nien utyak lun kalkal lom.

Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

10 “Oana ke LEUM GOD lowos el wuleang nu sin papa matu tomowos — Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — El ac fah sot nu suwos sie facl ma siti we uh yohk ac sessesla ke mwe kasrup, su kowos tia musaiak.

And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,

11 Lohm we ac fah sessesla ke ma wo, su tia ma kowos likiya loac. Ac fah oasr lufin kof su tia ma kowos pukanak. Ac fah oasr ima in grape ac olive ma kowos tia yukwiya. Na ke pacl se LEUM GOD El ac pwenkowosla nu in facl sac, ac kowos mongo ac kihp,

with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,

12 taranna kowos in tia mulkunla LEUM GOD su pwenkowosme liki facl Egypt, yen kowos tuh mwet kohs we.

be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

13 Akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, ac alu nu sel mukena, ac oru wulela lowos ke Inel mukena.

Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.

14 Nimet alu nu sin kutena god saya, god lun mwet su raunikowosla.

Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.

15 Kowos fin alu nu sin god ngia, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD fah tayak lain kowos oana e uh, na ac fah arulana kunauskowosla, mweyen LEUM GOD lowos su muta inmasrlowos El tia lungse in oasr kutena god sayal.

For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.

16 “Nimet srike LEUM GOD lowos, oana ke kowos tuh oru in acn Massah.

Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.

17 Kowos in arulana oaru in akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma El sot nu suwos.

You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.

18 Oru ma suwohs ac wo ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos. Kowos ac fah ku in eis facl mut ac wo fohk we su LEUM GOD El tuh wulela kac nu sin papa matu tomowos,

Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers,

19 ac kowos fah lusak mwet lokoalok lowos, oana El tuh wuleot nu suwos.

driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.

20 “Ke pacl fahsru uh, tulik nutuwos ac fah siyuk suwos, ‘Efu ku LEUM GOD lasr El tuh sapkin nu sesr in akos ma sap inge nukewa?’

In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”

21 Na kowos ac fah fahk nu selos, ‘Kut tuh mwet kohs lun tokosra lun acn Egypt, ac LEUM GOD El molikutla ac aksukosokye kut ke ku lulap lal.

then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 Kut sifacna liye ke mutasr mwenmen El oru wi mwe aksangeng lulap nu sin mwet Egypt ac nu sin tokosra lalos ac mwet fulat nukewa lal.

Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.

23 El aksukosokyekutla liki facl Egypt ac uskutme nu inge, ac ase lasr facl se inge, oana ke El tuh wulela nu sin papa matu tumasr.

But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.

24 Na LEUM GOD lasr El tuh sapkin nu sesr in akos ma sap inge nukewa, ac in akfulatyal. Kut fin oru ouinge, El ac fah karingin mutunfacl sesr ac oru in kapkapak pacl nukewa.

And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.

25 Kut fin oaru in akos ma nukewa ma God El sapkin nu sesr, El ac fah insewowo sesr.’

And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
