Deuteronomy 7
1 “LEUM GOD lowos El fah uskowosla nu in facl se su kowos ac oakwuki we, ac El ac fah lusak mutunfacl puspis liki acn we. Ke kowos ac apkuranyang nu we, El ac fah lusak mutunfacl itkosr su yohk liki kowos ac ku liki kowos: mwet Hit, mwet Girgash, mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus.
When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
2 Ke LEUM GOD lowos El ac eisaloswot nu inpouwos ac kowos kutangulosla, kowos in onelosla nukewa. Nik kowos orek kupasr yorolos ku pakomutalos.
and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
3 Nik kowos payuk sin kutena selos, ac nik kowos fuhlela wen ac acn nutuwos in payuk sin kutena selos.
Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
4 Mweyen elos ac mau furokla tulik nutuwos an liki LEUM GOD in alu nu sin god ngia. Fin sikyak ouiya se inge, LEUM GOD El ac kasrkusrakak suwos ac sikikowosla pacl sefanna.
because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
5 Ke ma inge, kowos in kunausya loang lalos, ac fukulya sru eot mutal selos, pakiya ma akilenyen god mutan Asherah, ac esukak ma sruloala lalos.
Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
6 Oru ma inge mweyen kowos mutanfahl mutal lun LEUM GOD lowos. Inmasrlon mwet fin faclu nufon, El sulekowosla in mwet saok lal sifacna.
For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
7 “LEUM GOD El tia lungse kowos ac sulekowosla ke sripen kowos pus liki mutunfacl ngia — kowos pa mutunfacl se ma srik oemeet fin faclu.
The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
8 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El lungse kowos ac kena in karinganang wulela ma El tuh orala yurin papa matu tomowos, pa sis El tuh molikowosla ke ku lulap lal, ac aksukosokye kowos liki moul in kohs lowos ye poun tokosra lun Egypt.
But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El mukena pa God, ac El oaru. El ac fah liyaung wulela lal, ac fahkak lungse kawil lal nu sin tausin fwil selos su lungse El ac akos ma sap lal.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
10 Tusruktu El ac tia pahtlac in kalyaelos su srungal.
But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
11 Ke ma inge, akos ma lutiyuk nu suwos. Akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa ma nga asot nu suwos misenge.
So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
12 “Kowos fin porongo ma sap inge ac oaru in akos, na LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah karinganang na wulela lal nu suwos, ac fahkak lungse kawil lal nu suwos, oana El tuh wuleang nu sin papa matu tomowos meet ah.
If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
13 El fah lungse kowos ac akinsewowoye kowos, na kowos fah puseni ac oasr tulik puspis nutuwos. El ac akinsewowoye ima lowos in pus wheat, wain, ac oil in olive; ac El ac fah akpusye cow ac sheep nutuwos. El ac fah asot nu suwos mwe insewowo inge nu kewa in facl se ma El tuh wulela nu sin papa matu tomowos mu El ac sot nu suwos.
He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
14 Wangin mutunfacl fin faclu ac fah insewowo yohk liki kowos. Wangin suwos, mukul ku mutan ku kosro nutuwos, ac fah talap.
You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
15 LEUM GOD El ac fah kosrala liki kowos kain in mas nukewa, ac kowos fah tia sifil maskin kutena mas upa ma kowos tuh pula in acn Egypt, tusruktu El ac fah sang mas inge nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos.
And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
16 Kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu inpouwos, ac nik kowos pakomutalos. Nik kowos alu nu ke god lalos, tuh ma inge oana sie mwe kwasrip nu suwos.
You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
17 “Nik kowos sifacna nunku mu mwet inge elos pus liki kowos, ac kowos tia ku in luselosla.
You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
18 Nimet sangeng selos. Esam ma LEUM GOD lowos El tuh oru nu sin tokosra lun acn Egypt ac mwet lal nukewa.
But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
19 Esam mwe lokoalok yohk ma kowos tuh sifacna liye ke motowos, ac mwenmen ac ma usrnguk ac ku lulap su LEUM GOD lowos El aksukosokyekowosla kac. In ouiya se na ma El tuh kunausla mwet Egypt, El ac kunausla mwet nukewa su kowos sangeng se inge.
the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
20 El ac oayapa akfohsyauk mwet lokoalok lowos, ac El ac fah kunauselosla su kaing in wikwik.
Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
21 Ouinge, nimet sangeng sin mwet inge. LEUM GOD lowos El wi kowos. El sie God fulat, su fal mwet uh in sangeng se.
Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
22 El ac fah kais kutu srisrik lihs mutanfahl inge ye motowos. Kowos ac fah tia ku in kunauselosla nukewa pacl sefanna, mweyen kowos fin oru ouinge, kosro lemnak uh ac mau puseni, na ac fah sie mwe sensen lulap nu suwos.
The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
23 LEUM GOD El ac fah asot mwet lokoalok lowos nu inpouwos, ac akfohsyalosyak nwe ke elos kunausyukla.
But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24 El ac fah sot tokosra lalos nu inpouwos. Kowos ac fah onelosi, ac elos ac fah mulkinyukla. Wangin mwet fah ku in sikulkowosi. Kowos ac fah onelosla nukewa.
He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
25 Esukak ma sruloala lalos. Nik kowos mwel silver ku gold ma oan kac, ku eis lowos. Kowos fin oru, kowos ku in sruhfla kac, mweyen LEUM GOD El kwase ma inge.
You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
26 Nik kowos use kutena sin ma srungayuk inge nu in lohm suwos, tuh selnga se ma oan faclos ac oan fowos. Kowos in arulana srunga ac kwase ma sruloala inge, mweyen LEUM GOD El selngawi ma inge.
And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
