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.
“All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to 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.
And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, 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 afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
4 Ke lusen yac angngaul inge, nuknuk lowos tiana mahi, ac niowos tia pac fafwak.
Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
5 Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El aksuwosye kowos ac kai kowos, oana ke sie papa el kai tulik natul.
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
6 Ke ma inge, oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu suwos! Moul fal nu ke ma sap lal ac arulana akfulatyal.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear 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 will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
8 sie acn ma oasr wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranate, olive ac honey we.
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of 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.
In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
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.
So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to 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 observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
12 Ke pacl se pukanten mwe mongo nowos, ac kowos musaela lohm wowo suwos ac muta loac,
Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
13 ac ke puseni cow ac sheep nutuwos, silver ac gold lowos, ac kutepacna ma saya lowos,
and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
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.
your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
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.
and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
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.
and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
17 Ouinge, kowos in tiana nunku mu kasrup lowos uh ma ke ku ac etauk lowos sifacna.
Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things 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 the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
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.
But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly 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.
Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
