Deuteronomy 8
1 “Kowos in oaru in akos ma sap nukewa nga sot nu suwos misenge, tuh kowos fah ku in moul ac puseni ac utyak eis facl se su LEUM GOD El wulela kac nu sin papa matu tomowos.
You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
2 Esam kolyuk lun LEUM GOD lowos in fufahsryesr loeloes lowos sasla yen mwesis ke yac angngaul somla. El supu ma upa in srike kowos, tuh Elan ku in etu ma oan insiowos, ac lah pwaye kowos ac akos ma sap lal.
Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
3 El tuh oru kowos in masrinsral, na El kite kowos ke manna, sie mwe mongo ma kowos, ac papa matu tomowos, soenna kang meet. El oru ma inge in luti kowos lah mwet uh tia moul ke bread mukena, a ke kas nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
4 Ke lusen yac angngaul inge, nuknuk lowos tiana mahi, ac niowos tia pac fafwak.
Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
5 Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El aksuwosye kowos ac kai kowos, oana ke sie papa el kai tulik natul.
So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
6 Ke ma inge, oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu suwos! Moul fal nu ke ma sap lal ac arulana akfulatyal.
Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
7 LEUM GOD lowos El uskowosme nu in sie facl wo — sie acn pus infacl ac unon in kof we, oayapa oasr kwakof ye fohk uh ma soror nu infahlfal uh ac infulan eol uh;
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
8 sie acn ma oasr wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranate, olive ac honey we.
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 Kowos ac tiana masrinsral we, ku enenu kutena ma. Eot we uh oasr iron loac, ac kowos ku in pukanak copper ke eol srisrik we.
a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
10 Ac fah pukanten mwe mongo nowos, ac kowos fah sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD lowos ke facl na wowo El sot nu suwos.
When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
11 “Kowos in arulana karinganang tuh kowos in tia mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos; a kowos in arulana akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa lal su nga sot nu suwos misenge.
Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
12 Ke pacl se pukanten mwe mongo nowos, ac kowos musaela lohm wowo suwos ac muta loac,
Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
13 ac ke puseni cow ac sheep nutuwos, silver ac gold lowos, ac kutepacna ma saya lowos,
and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
14 taranna tuh kowos in tia inse fulatak ac mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos su uskowosme liki Egypt, acn se ma kowos tuh mwet kohs we.
then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
15 El pwen kowos sasla yen mwesis lulap ac aksangeng sac, yen oasr wet pwasin ac scorpion we. El oru kof in sororma liki sie eot wen nu suwos in acn pulamlam ac wangin kof we.
He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
16 In acn mwesis uh El kite kowos ke manna, sie mwe mongo ma papa matu tomowos uh tiana kang meet. El oru in upa nu suwos in srike kowos, tuh Elan ku in akinsewowoye kowos tok ke ma wo.
He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
17 Ouinge, kowos in tiana nunku mu kasrup lowos uh ma ke ku ac etauk lowos sifacna.
You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
18 Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos pa sot ku nu suwos in kasrupi. El oru ouinge mweyen El srakna karingin wulela lal nwe misenge ma El orala yurin papa matu tomowos.
But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
19 Kowos in tiana mulkunla LEUM GOD lowos, ku forla nu sin god ngia in alu ac orekma nu selos. Kowos fin oru ouinge, na nga fahk nu suwos misenge lah pwayena kowos ac kunausyukla.
If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
20 Kowos fin tia akos LEUM GOD, na kowos ac kunausyukla, oana mutunfacl ingo su El ac kunausla meet liki na kowos ilyak nu in facl selos.
Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
