Deuteronomio 4
1 Ita, Israel, denggem dagiti linteg ken annuroten nga isurok kadakayo, tapno aramidenyo dagitoy; tapno agbiagkayo ket serreken ken tagikuaenyo ti daga nga it-ited kadakayo ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti ammayo.
People of Israel, pay attention to the rules and regulations I'm teaching you to observe. That way you can stay alive, and go in and take over the country the Lord, the God of your forefathers, is giving you.
2 Saanyo a nayunan dagiti sasao nga ibilinko kadakayo, wenno kissayan dagitoy, tapno masalimetmetanyo dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo nga ibilinko kadakayo.
You are not to add to or take away from what I'm telling you, so that you can keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm ordering you to follow.
3 Nakitayo ti inaramid ni Yahweh gapu iti Baal Peor; gapu ta amin a tattao a simmurot iti Baal ti Peor, dinadael ida ni Yahweh a Diosyo manipud kadakayo.
You've seen for yourselves what the Lord did at Baal-peor where the Lord your God killed everyone among you who worshiped Baal of Peor.
4 Ngem dakayo a kimpet kenni Yahweh a Diosyo ket sibibiag ita nga aldaw, tunggal maysa kadakayo.
Those of you who were faithful to the Lord your God are still alive today, every one of you.
5 Adtoy, insurok kadakayo dagiti linteg ken dagiti annuroten, a kas iti imbilin ni Yahweh a Diosko kaniak, a rumbeng nga aramidenyo ti kasta iti tengnga ti daga a papananyo tapno tagikuaen daytoy.
Listen, I have taught you the rules and regulations just as the Lord my God ordered me to do, so you can follow them in the country that you are about to enter and take over.
6 Salimetmetan ken aramidenyo ngarud dagitoy; ta daytoy ti kinasirib ken pannakaawatyo iti imatang dagiti tattao a makangngegto kadagitoy nga alagaden ket kunaenda, 'Pudno a masirib ken mannakaawat a tattao daytoy a dakkel a nasion.'
Be careful to observe them, because this will demonstrate your wisdom and insight to the other people living there who are watching. They will find out about all these rules and say, “The people of this great nation are very wise and have good insight.”
7 Ta ania ti sabali pay a dakkel nasion nga adda sadiay nga addaan iti dios nga asideg unay kadakuada, a kas kenni Yahweh a Diostayo tunggal umawagtayo kenkuana?
What nation is as great as us, having a god so close to them as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call on him?
8 Ania ti sabali pay a dakkel a nasion nga adda sadiay nga addaan kadagiti linteg ken kadagiti annuroten a nakalinlinteg a kas kadagitoy amin a linteg nga isagsaganak iti sangoananyo ita nga aldaw?
What nation is as great as us, having such good rules and regulations like all these laws that I'm placing before you today?
9 Siputam laeng ken annadam a nasayaat ti bagim, tapno saanmo a malipatan dagiti banbanag a nakitam, tapno saanda a panawan ti pusom iti amin nga al-aldaw ti biagmo. Ipakaammom ketdi dagitoy kadagiti annakmo ken kadagiti annak dagiti annakmo—
Just make sure to be very careful, and really watch what you do, so you don't forget the things you've have seen. Keep them in mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
10 ti aldaw a nagtakderka iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosmo idiay Horeb, idi kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, 'Ummongem kaniak dagiti tattao, ket ipangngegko kadakuada dagiti sasaok, tapno masursuroda ti agbuteng kaniak iti amin nga al-aldaw ti panagbiagda iti rabaw ti daga, ken tapno maisuroda dagiti annakda.'
That day when you stood in the presence of the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord told me, “Have the people come to me and to hear what I have to say, so they may learn to have respect for me throughout their lives here on earth, and so they may teach this to their children.”
11 Immasidegkayo ket nagtakderkayo iti sakaanan ti bantay. Immapuy ti bantay agingga iti langit, nga addaan iti kinasipnget, ulep, ken napuskol a kinasipnget.
You gathered and stood at the foot of the mountain. The mountain was on fire, shooting out flames into the sky and producing thick dark clouds.
12 Nagsao ni Yahweh kadakayo manipud iti tengnga ti apuy; nangngegyo ti timek nga addaan kadagiti sasao, ngem awan ti langa a nakitayo; timek laeng ti nangngegyo.
The Lord spoke to you from the fire. You heard the words, but you didn't see the form of anyone speaking—there was just a voice.
13 Inwaragawagna kadakayo ti tulagna nga imbilinna kadakayo nga aramidenyo, ti Sangapulo a Bilin. Insuratna dagitoy iti dua a tapi ti bato.
He explained to you his agreement, the Ten Commandments, which he ordered you to follow. He wrote them down on two tablets of stone.
14 Imbilin kaniak ni Yahweh iti dayta a tiempo nga isurok kadakayo dagiti alagaden ken ordinansa, tapno aramidenyo dagitoy iti daga a papananyo a tagikuaen.
This was the time that the Lord ordered me to teach you the rules and regulations that you are to follow when you arrive in the country you're going to own once you've crossed the Jordan.
15 Annadanyo ngarud a naimbag dagiti bagbagiyo, ta awan ti nakitayo nga aniaman a langa iti aldaw a nagsao kadakayo ni Yahweh idiay Horeb manipud iti tengnga ti apuy.
You didn't see any form when the Lord spoke to you from the fire at Horeb, so be very careful
16 Agannadkayo ta saanyo a dadaelen dagiti bagbagiyo ket agaramidkayo iti maysa a nakitikitan a ladawan a kalanglanga ti aniaman a parsua, ti langa ti lalaki wenno babai a tao,
that you don't spoil your relationship with the Lord by making an idol for yourselves in any shape or form, whether it looks like a male or female,
17 wenno ti kalanglanga ti aniaman nga ayup nga adda iti rabaw ti daga, wenno ti kalanglanga ti aniaman nga adda payakna a billit nga agtaytayab kadagiti langlangit,
or any land animal or bird that flies,
18 wenno ti kalanglanga ti aniaman nga agkarkarayam iti daga, wenno ti kalanglanga ti aniaman a lames nga adda iti danum iti babaen ti daga.
or of any animal that crawls on the ground or any fish in the deep sea.
19 Agannadka no ikitam dagiti matam kadagiti langit ket makitam ti init, ti bulan, ken dagiti bituen—amin a buyot dagiti langlangit—agannadka a saanka a maguyugoy nga agrukbab ken agdayaw kadagitoy— insaad ni Yahweh a Diosmo dagitoy a banbanag sadiay para kadagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti babaen ti entero a tangatang.
When you look up at the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the heavenly bodies—don't be tempted to bow down to them. Don't worship them like all the other nations on earth in the way that the Lord has allowed.
20 Ngem innalanakayo ni Yahweh ken inruarnakayo iti urno a landok, manipud Egipto, tapno agbalinkayo a tattao a bukodna a tawid, a kasla kadakayo ita nga aldaw.
Remember that the Lord took you and led you out of the iron furnace which was Egypt to be his own people, just as you are today.
21 Maysa pay, nakaunget ni Yahweh kaniak gapu kadakayo; insapatana a rumbeng a saanak a bumallasiw iti Jordan, ken rumbeng a saanak a mapan iti dayta a nadam-eg a daga, ti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosmo kenka a kas tawid.
But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he vowed that I wouldn't cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
22 Ngem ketdi, masapul a matayak iti daytoy a daga; masapul a saanak a bumallasiw iti Jordan; ngem bumallasiwkayo ket tagikuaenyo dayta a nasayaat a daga.
So I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I have to die here in this land. But you will cross over and occupy that good land.
23 Annadanyo dagiti bagbagiyo, tapno saanyo a malipatan ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosyo nga inaramidna kadakayo, ket agaramidkayo para kadagiti bagbagiyo iti nakitikitan a ladawan a kalanglanga ti aniaman nga imparit ni Yahweh a Diosyo nga aramidenyo.
However, be careful not to forget the agreement of the Lord your God that he made with you. Don't make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything, because he has forbidden you to do this.
24 Ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket maysa a mangal-alun-on nga apuy, managimon a Dios.
For the Lord your God is a fire that burns everything up. He is an exclusive God.
25 Inton maaddaanka iti annak ken appoko, ken inton addakayon iti dayta a daga iti atiddog a panawen, ket no dadaelenyo dagiti bagbagiyo ket agaramidkayo iti nakitikitan a ladawan a kalanglanga ti aniaman a banag, ken aramidenyo ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosmo, tapno pagpungtotenyo isuna—
After you have been living in the country for a long time and have had children and grandchildren, if you then spoil the relationship you have with the Lord and make an idol in any form. The Lord your God sees this as evil makes him angry.
26 Awagak ti langit ken daga nga agsaksi a maibusor kadakayo ita nga aldaw, a mapukawkayonto iti mabiit iti daga a papananyo iti ballasiw ti Jordan a tagikuaenyo; saanyonto a mapaatiddog dagiti aldawyo sadiay, ngem naan-anay a madadaelkayonto.
If you do this, I call on heaven and earth to be witnesses against you today that you will be completely wiped out from the country that you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. You will not live long there—you will be totally destroyed.
27 Iwarawaranakayonto ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao, ket bassitto laeng ti mabati a bilangyo kadagiti nasion, a pangituronganto ni Yahweh kadakayo.
The Lord will scatter you among the other nations, and not many of you will survive in the countries where the Lord has exiled you.
28 Agserbikayonto kadagiti sabali a dios sadiay, ti aramid dagiti ima dagiti tattao, kayo ken bato, a saan a makakita, makangngeg, makapangan, wenno makaangot.
There you will worship gods of wood and stone made by human beings. These idols can't see or hear or eat or smell.
29 Ngem sapulenyonto ni Yahweh a Diosyo manipud sadiay, ket masarakanyonto isuna, no birukenyo isuna iti amin a pusoyo ken iti amin a kararuayo.
However, if while you're there you decide to come to the Lord your God, you will find him if you come to him whole-heartedly, with complete commitment.
30 No marirriribukankayo, ken inton dumteng amin dagitoy a banbanag kadakayo, kadagitoy maud-udi nga al-aldaw, agsublikayonto kenni Yahweh a Diosyo ket denggenyonto ti timekna.
When you are in trouble, after you've experienced all these things, then eventually you will return to the Lord your God and do what he says.
31 Ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket manangaasi a Dios; saannakayonto nga upayen wenno dadaelen, wenno lipaten ti tulagna kadagiti ammayo nga insapatana kadakuada.
The Lord your God is a merciful God. He won't abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement he made with your forefathers, confirmed by a solemn promise.
32 Ta saludsodem man ita ti maipanggep kadagiti aldaw a napalabas, nga immun-una kenka: manipud iti aldaw a pinarsua ti Dios ti tao iti rabaw ti daga, ken manipud iti pungto ti langit agingga iti bangir, saludsodem no adda ti kasla iti kastoy a naindaklan a banag, wenno adda nangngeg a kasla iti daytoy?
Think about it! Examine the whole of history from the beginning of time, long before you existed, when God made human beings, right up until now. Ask this question anywhere, from one end of the earth to the other: Has anything as amazing as this ever happened before; has anyone ever heard anything like this?
33 Nangngeg kadi dagiti tattao iti kaano man ti timek ti Dios nga agsasao manipud iti tengnga ti apuy, a kas iti nangngegyo, ket nagbiagkayo?
Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, like you have, and survived?
34 Wenno pinadas kadi ti Dios a mapan ket mangala iti maysa a nasion iti tengnga ti maysa pay a nasion, babaen kadagiti pannubok, babaen kadagiti pagilasinan, ken babaen kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw, ken babaen iti gubat, ken babaen iti nabileg nga ima, ken babaen iti panangipakita iti dakkel a pannakabalin, ken babaen kadagiti napalalo a panangbutbuteng, a kas iti amin a banag nga inaramid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo idiay Egipto iti sangoananyo?
Has any god tried to take a nation out of another nation and make them his own, using tests and signs and miracles and war—with his great power and incredible strength and terrifying actions—like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?
35 Naipakita kadakayo dagitoy a banbanag, tapno maammoanyo a ni Yahweh ket Dios, ken awanen ti sabali pay malaksid kenkuana.
You were shown all this so you could be certain that the Lord is God and there is no one like him.
36 Manipud langit ket impangngegna kadakayo ti timekna, tapno mabilinnakayo; impakitana kadakayo ti nasantoan nga apuyna ditoy rabaw ti daga; nangngegyo dagiti sasaona manipud iti tengnga ti apuy.
He made you hear his voice from heaven so you would obey him. On earth he revealed himself though blazing fire, and you heard him speak to you from the fire.
37 Gapu ta inay-ayatna dagiti ammayo, pinilina dagiti kaputotanda a simmaruno kadakuada, ken inruarnakayo idiay Egipto babaen iti presensiana ken iti dakkel a pannakabalinna;
Because he loved your forefathers, he chose you, their descendants. He himself led you out of Egypt by his great power,
38 tapno pagtalawenna iti sangoananyo dagiti nasion a dakdakkel ken nabilbileg ngem dakayo, tapno ipannakayo, tapno itedna kadakayo ti dagada a kas tawid, agpapan ita nga aldaw.
driving out ahead of you nations that were greater and stronger than you, in order to lead you to their land and give it to you as yours to own, just as you do today.
39 Ammoenyo ngarud ita nga aldaw, ken ikabilyo iti pusoyo, a ni Yahweh ket Dios sadi langit ken iti rabaw ti daga; awanen ti sabali.
So today be sure about this and never forget: the Lord is the only God in heaven above and on the earth below.
40 Salimetmetanyo dagiti alagaden ken annurotenna nga ibilinko kadakayo ita nga aldaw, tapno sumayaatkayo ken dagiti annakyo a sumaruno kadakayo, ken tapno mapaatiddugyo dagiti al-aldawyo iti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo iti agnanayon.
Observe his rules and regulations that I'm giving you right now, so that you and your children will do well, and that you may have long lives in the country that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.
41 Ket nangpili ni Moises iti tallo a siudad iti daya ti Jordan,
Then Moses assigned three sanctuary towns to the east of the Jordan
42 tapno mabalin a pagkamangan ti siasinoman kadakuada no nakapatay isuna iti sabali a tao a saanna nga inggagara, a saanna a kabusor iti napalabas. Babaen iti panagkamangna iti maysa kadagitoy a siudad, mabalin a makalasat isuna.
where a person could run to after accidentally killing someone without deliberate hatred. To save their life they could run to one of these towns:
43 Dagitoy ket: ti Beser idiay let-ang, ti patad a pagilian para kadagiti Rubenitas; ti Ramot idiay Galaad para kadagiti Gaditas; ken ti Golan idiay Basan para kadagiti Manasesitas.
Bezer in the desert plain belonging to the tribe of Reuben; Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the tribe of Gad, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the tribe of Manasseh.
44 Daytoy ti linteg nga insaad ni Moises iti sangoanan dagiti tattao ti Israel;
This is the law that Moses placed before the Israelites.
45 dagitoy dagiti pammaneknek iti tulag, dagiti linteg, ken dadduma pay nga annuroten a sinao ni Moises kadagiti tattao ti Israel idi rimmuarda idiay Egipto,
These are the laws, rules, and regulations Moses gave them after they had come out of Egypt.
46 idi addada iti daya ti Jordan, iti tanap a batug ti Bet-peor, iti daga ni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo, a nagnaed idiay Hesbon, a pinarmek da Moises ken dagiti tattao ti Israel idi rimmuarda idiay Egipto.
This was when they were in the valley to the east of the Jordan near Beth-peor in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites. He had ruled from Heshbon and had been defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had left Egypt.
47 Innalada a kas sanikua ti dagana, ken ti daga ni Og nga ari ti Basan—dagitoy dagiti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo, nga adda iti labes ti Jordan nga agturong iti daya.
They took over his country and the country of Og king of Bashan. (They were the two kings of the Amorites who previously ruled on the east side of the Jordan.)
48 Dumanon daytoy a masakupan manipud Aroer, iti igid ti tanap ti Arnon, agingga iti Bantay Sirion (wenno Bantay Hermon),
The territory went from the town of Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Sirion, otherwise known as Mount Hermon,
49 ken nairaman ti amin a patad iti tanap ti Karayan Jordan, nga agpadaya iti labes ti Jordan, agingga iti baybay ti Araba, agingga kadagiti arisadsad ti Bantay Pisga.”
and included all the Arabah to the east of the Jordan down as far as the Dead Sea beside the slopes of Mount Pisgah.
