Exodus 23
1 “Nik kom akyokyelik sramsram tia pwaye, ac nik kom kinauk ma sutuu sang kasru sie mwet oasr mwata.
You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
2 Nik kom oru ma sutuu finne pusiyen mwet uh oru, ku welulos kifasla ma suwohs ke pacl in nununku.
You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.
3 Ke kom nununku sie mwet sukasrup, nimet akfisrasrye nununku lom nu sel ke sripen sukasrup lal.
And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.
4 “Kom fin sun cow soko ku donkey soko ma kaingla nutin mwet lokoalok lom, folokunla nu yorol.
And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
5 Donkey natul fin ikori ye ma toasr oan facl, nikmet fahlana, a kom in kasrel tulokonak donkey natul nwe ke el sifilpa tuyak.
And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
6 “Nimet ikol nununku suwohs nu sin sie mwet sukasrup.
You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
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.
You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
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 not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
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.
And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “Yac onkosr kom in yoki acn sum ac eisani fahko kac.
Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
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 in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
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 shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant 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.
Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Kowos in tukeni ac oru kufwa lulap tolu ke yac se in akfulatyeyu.
Keep you a feast to me three times 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.
Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not 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 you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your 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 times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your 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.
For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till 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.
You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its 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.
And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
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.
Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
22 Tusruktu kowos fin aksol ac oru ma nukewa nga sapkin, nga fah mweun lain mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa.
If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to 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 my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
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 worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
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 you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from 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 not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
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.
And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
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, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from 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 cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts 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 cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
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 borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
32 Nik kowos oru kutena oakwuk ku yorolos, ku yurin god lalos.
You shall make no covenant with them and 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.”
And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you.
