Deuteronomy 23
1 “Wangin sie mukul su twatala, ku sie su laslasla ma mukul lal fah oaoa mu el sie sin un mwet lun LEUM GOD.
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
2 “Wangin temti, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natul nu ke fwil aksingoul, fah ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD.
A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
3 “Wangin mwet Amon ku mwet Moab, ku kutena sin fwilin tulik natulos nwe ke fwil aksingoul, ku in oaoala nu ke mwet lun LEUM GOD,
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
4 mweyen elos tuh srunga kite kowos mwe mongo ac kof ke fufahsryesr lowos ke kowos ilme liki facl Egypt, ac elos moleang nu sel Balaam wen natul Beor, liki siti Pethor in acn Mesopotamia, elan selngawi kowos.
because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
5 Tusruktu LEUM GOD lowos El tia porongal Balaam, a El ekulla mwe selnga sac nu ke sie mwe insewowo, ke sripen El lungse kowos.
Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 Ke lusen pacl kowos oaoa in sie mutunfacl, kowos in tia oru kutena ma in kasru mutunfacl luo inge, ku oru elos in kapkapak.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 “Nimet srunga mwet Edom, mweyen elos sou lowos. Oayapa nimet srunga mwet Egypt, mweyen sie pacl ah kowos tuh muta fin acn selos.
You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Mutawauk ke fwil se aktolu me, fwilin tulik natulos ac ku in oaoayang nu inmasrlon mwet lun LEUM GOD.
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
9 “Ke pacl kowos mutangan aktuktuk ke pacl in mweun uh, kowos fah karingin kowos liki kutena ouiya fohkfok.
When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
10 Mukul se fin tia nasnas ke sripen el sororia ke mweme koluk lal ke fong, el enenu in illa liki nien aktuktuk ac muta lik ah.
If there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
11 Ke apkuran ekela ke len tok ah el fah oululla, ac ke faht uh tili el ku in foloko nu in nien aktuktuk uh.
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 “Akola sie acn likin nien aktuktuk in orekmakin oana sie nien fahsr.
You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
13 Us soko sak in pukpuk wi kom, tuh ke pacl se kom enenu in fahsr tok, kom fah pukanak sie luf ac afinya.
You shall have a trowel amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
14 Liyaung tuh nien aktuktuk suwos in nasnas pacl nukewa, mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El wi kowos in nien aktuktuk suwos, in loange kowos ac sot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet lokoalok lowos. Kowos in tia oru kutena lumah fohkfok ma ac pwanang LEUM GOD lowos Elan forla liki kowos.
for the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
15 “Fin oasr mwet kohs kaingla liki mwet kacto lalos ac tuku nu yuruwos tuh kowos in loangelosla, nik kowos folokunulosla.
You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
16 Elos ku in muta in kutena siti suwos ma elos sulela, ac kowos in tia sulallal nu selos.
He shall dwell with you, amongst you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
17 “Wangin mwet Israel, mukul ku mutan, fah orek kosro in eis moul kac oana ma mwet pegan elos oru in tempul lalos.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Oayapa, wangin mani kowos eis ke ouiya se inge fah utuku nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD lowos in akfalye sie wuleang. LEUM GOD El srunga mwet su muta in nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kosro in eis moul kac.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
19 “Pacl se kom sang mani, ku mwe mongo ku kutena ma, nu sin sie mwet Israel wiom, kom in tia eis ma laesla.
You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
20 Kom ku in siyuk ma laesla ke ma kom sang nu sin sie mwetsac, a tia ke ma kom sang nu sin mwet Israel wiom. Akos oakwuk se inge, ac LEUM GOD lom fah akinsewowoye ma nukewa kom oru fin facl se ma kom ac utyak ac oakwuki we.
You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
21 “Ke kom oru sie wulela ku nu sin LEUM GOD lom, nik kom pahtlac in akfalye ma kom wulela kac. LEUM GOD El ac soano tuh kom in akfalye wuleang lom. Kom fin tia akfalyela, kom orekma koluk.
When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Tia ma koluk se kom fin tia orek wulela nu sin LEUM GOD,
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23 tusruktu kom fin sifacna lungse oru sie wuleang, esam na lah kom enenu na in akfalye.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
24 “Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in grape lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang grape uh ke na lungse lom. Tusruktu kom fin illa liki, nimet us kutena grape ke mwe neinyuk lom.
When you come into your neighbour’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
25 Ke kom fahsr sasla inima in wheat lun siena mwet, kom ku in kang kutena fiten wheat ma kom olela ke poum, tusruktu kom fah tia sang mitmit nutum an pakela wheat an.
When you come into your neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
