Exodus 23
1 “Nik kom akyokyelik sramsram tia pwaye, ac nik kom kinauk ma sutuu sang kasru sie mwet oasr mwata.
You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Nik kom oru ma sutuu finne pusiyen mwet uh oru, ku welulos kifasla ma suwohs ke pacl in nununku.
You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to shift judgment:
3 Ke kom nununku sie mwet sukasrup, nimet akfisrasrye nununku lom nu sel ke sripen sukasrup lal.
Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 “Kom fin sun cow soko ku donkey soko ma kaingla nutin mwet lokoalok lom, folokunla nu yorol.
If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Donkey natul fin ikori ye ma toasr oan facl, nikmet fahlana, a kom in kasrel tulokonak donkey natul nwe ke el sifilpa tuyak.
If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.
6 “Nimet ikol nununku suwohs nu sin sie mwet sukasrup.
You shall not shift the judgment of your poor in his cause.
7 Nik kom oru tukak tia pwaye, ac nik kom eisang sie mwet suwoswos nu ke misa, mweyen nga ac fah lusla kutena mwet su oru kain koluk ouinge.
Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 Nik kom eis molin eyeinse, tuh molin eyeinse uh akkunye mutun mwet nu ke ma suwohs, ac akkihyela nununku suwohs nu selos su wangin mwata.
And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Nik kom oru koluk nu sin sie mwetsac. Kom pula pac tari moul in mwetsac uh, mweyen kom tuh sie mwetsac in facl Egypt meet.
Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for all of you know the heart of a stranger, seeing all of you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “Yac onkosr kom in yoki acn sum ac eisani fahko kac.
And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
11 A ke yac se akitkosr lela acn sum in mongla — kom fah tia yoki ac tia pac kosrani. Lela mwet sukasrup uh in kang kutena ma kap we, ac kosro inima uh in kang ma lula. Oru oapana ke ima in grape lowos ac sak olive sunowos.
But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive yard.
12 “Kom in orekma len onkosr ke wik se, tusruk nimet oru kutena orekma ke len akitkosr, tuh mwet kohs lowos ac mwetsac su orekma nu suwos, ac finne kosro nutuwos, in ku in mongla.
Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 “Porongo ma nukewa ma nga, LEUM GOD, fahk tari nu sum. Nik kom pre nu sin god saya. Finne inelos, kom in tia pac fahk.
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Kowos in tukeni ac oru kufwa lulap tolu ke yac se in akfulatyeyu.
Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 In malem Abib, malem se ma kowos illa liki Egypt, kowos in akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke ouiya ma nga sapkin tari nu suwos. Nimet kang kutena bread orekla ke mwe pulol inmasrlon len itkosr lun kufwa se inge. Nimet tuku in alu nu sik ke wangin mwe sang inpouwos.
You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )
16 “Akfulatye Kufwen Kosrani ke kowos mutawauk in kosrani wheat sunowos. “Akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk ke saflaiyen pacl in kosrani, ke kowos telani fokin ima in grape ac fokinsak olive sunowos.
And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of your labours, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labours out of the field.
17 In yac nukewa ke pacl in akfulatye kufwa lulap tolu inge, mukul Israel nukewa in tuku alu nu sik, LEUM GOD lowos.
Three items in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
18 “Nik kom sang bread ma orek ke mwe pulol ke kom kisakin soko kosro nu sik. Kiris ke kosro kisakinyuk nu sik ke pacl in kufwa inge, fah tia oan nu ke lotutang tok ah.
You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 Ke kais sie yac, kom fah use nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD lom, fahko ma wo emeet ke kosrani se meet lom. “Nik kom poeli soko sheep fusr, ku nani fusr, ke sronin titi lun nina kia.
The first of the first-fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
20 “Nga ac supwala sie lipufan in fahsr meet liki kowos, in karingin kowos ke fufahsryesr lowos, ac in uskowosla nu ke acn se su nga akoela.
Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Lohang nu sel ac aksol. Nimet lainul, mweyen nga pa supwalot, ac kowos fin lainul el ac fah tia nunak munas nu suwos kac.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 Tusruktu kowos fin aksol ac oru ma nukewa nga sapkin, nga fah mweun lain mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa.
But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.
23 Lipufan luk ac fah fahsr meet liki kowos ac us kowos nu in facl sin mwet Amor, mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Canaan, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus, ac nga fah kunauselosla.
For mine Angel shall go before you, and bring you in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Nik kowos epasr nu sin god lalos ku alu nu selos, ac nik kowos etai ouiyen alu lalos. Kunauselik god lalos ac fukulya loang eot mutal lalos.
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 Kowos fin alu nu sik, LEUM GOD lowos, nga ac fah akinsewowoye kowos ke mwe mongo ac kof ac eisla mas nukewa lowos liki kowos.
And all of you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
26 Ac fah wangin tulik putatla nutin mutan pitutu, ac ac fah wangin pac mutan talap in facl suwos. Nga ac fah akloesye moul lowos.
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
27 “Nga fah aksangengalos su lain kowos, ac mwet su kowos mweuni nga fah akfohsyalosyak. Nga fah oru mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa in forla ac kaing liki kowos.
I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all of your enemies turn their backs unto you.
28 Nga fah oru tuh mwet lokoalok lowos — su mwet Hiv, mwet Canaan, ac mwet Hit — in fosrngalana, ac nga fah ukwalosyak ke kowos fahsr in utyak nu in facl selos.
And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 Nga ac fah tia luselosla ke pulan yac se, mweyen nga fin oru ouinge, na acn uh ac mwesisla, ac kosro lemnak uh ac arulana pusla, na kowos tia ku in lain.
I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
30 Nga fah kais kutu lusla mwet lokoalok lowos, nwe ke kowos faseni in ku in eisla acn selos.
By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.
31 Nga fah oru masrol lun acn suwos in mutawauk ke Meoa Srusra fahla nwe ke Meoa Mediteranean, ac oayapa yen mwesis lac nwe ke Infacl Euphrates. Nga fah sot mwet in facl sac nu inpouwos, ac kowos fah luselosla ke pacl kowos utyak nu we.
And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.
32 Nik kowos oru kutena oakwuk ku yorolos, ku yurin god lalos.
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 Nik kowos lela mwet ingan in muta in facl suwos. Kowos fin lela, elos ac oru kowos in orekma koluk lainyu. Kowos fin alu nu sin god lalos, ac fah oana sie sruhf nu suwos.”
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto you.
