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 precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

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.

That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy 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 observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

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

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

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

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

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

And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

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 thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

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

And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

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

And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

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 thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst 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,

Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

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

And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

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

Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

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

You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about 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.

Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

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

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

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

Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

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,

And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

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

That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

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?’

And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

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.

Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong 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.

And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

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.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore 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 that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

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

And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
