Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
“Nik kom akyokyelik sramsram tia pwaye, ac nik kom kinauk ma sutuu sang kasru sie mwet oasr mwata.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.
Nik kom oru ma sutuu finne pusiyen mwet uh oru, ku welulos kifasla ma suwohs ke pacl in nununku.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
Ke kom nununku sie mwet sukasrup, nimet akfisrasrye nununku lom nu sel ke sripen sukasrup lal.
4 If thou meet thy enemy’s ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.
“Kom fin sun cow soko ku donkey soko ma kaingla nutin mwet lokoalok lom, folokunla nu yorol.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
Donkey natul fin ikori ye ma toasr oan facl, nikmet fahlana, a kom in kasrel tulokonak donkey natul nwe ke el sifilpa tuyak.
6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man’s judgment.
“Nimet ikol nununku suwohs nu sin sie mwet sukasrup.
7 Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
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.
8 Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
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.
9 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
“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.
10 Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.
“Yac onkosr kom in yoki acn sum ac eisani fahko kac.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.
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.
12 Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
“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.
13 Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
“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.
14 Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.
“Kowos in tukeni ac oru kufwa lulap tolu ke yac se in akfulatyeyu.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.
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.
16 And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.
“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.
17 Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
In yac nukewa ke pacl in akfulatye kufwa lulap tolu inge, mukul Israel nukewa in tuku alu nu sik, LEUM GOD lowos.
18 Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.
“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.
19 Thou shalt carry the firstfruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
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.
20 Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
“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.
21 Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.
Lohang nu sel ac aksol. Nimet lainul, mweyen nga pa supwalot, ac kowos fin lainul el ac fah tia nunak munas nu suwos kac.
22 But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
Tusruktu kowos fin aksol ac oru ma nukewa nga sapkin, nga fah mweun lain mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa.
23 And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.
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.
24 Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.
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.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.
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.
26 There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.
Ac fah wangin tulik putatla nutin mutan pitutu, ac ac fah wangin pac mutan talap in facl suwos. Nga ac fah akloesye moul lowos.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.
“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.
28 Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.
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.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.
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.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.
Nga fah kais kutu lusla mwet lokoalok lowos, nwe ke kowos faseni in ku in eisla acn selos.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.
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.
32 Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.
Nik kowos oru kutena oakwuk ku yorolos, ku yurin god lalos.
33 Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.
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.”
