Deuteronomy 9
1 Listen, people of Israel! Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and take over the country from nations that are larger and stronger than you, that have large towns with walls that reach up into the sky.
“Mwet Israel, kowos in porongo! Misenge kowos ac fahsr alukela Infacl Jordan ac eis acn sin mutunfacl ma yohk liki kowos ac ku liki kowos. Siti selos arulana yohk, ac pot kac uh fulat nwe lucng.
2 The people are strong and tall; they are the descendants of the Anakim. You all know about them and you have heard the saying, “Who could ever defeat the sons of Anak?”
Mwet we uh mwet na loeska ac fokoko. Elos ma nutin mwet Anak su mwet na yohk pisa, ac kowos lohng kaclos lah wangin mwet ku in lainulos.
3 But you should realize that today the Lord your God is going across ahead of you. He is like a consuming fire; he will destroy them and defeat them ahead of you. You will drive them out and quickly wipe them out, just as the Lord promised you.
Tusruktu inge kowos ac fah sifacna liye lah LEUM GOD lowos El ac fahsr meet liki kowos oana sie e na ngeng. El ac kutangulosla ke kowos fahsryak nu we, na kowos ac ukwalosyak ac sa na kunauselosla, oana El wulela.
4 When the Lord your God has driven them out ahead of you, don't think to yourselves, “It's because I'm such a good person that the Lord has brought me here to take over this land.” No, the Lord is driving out these nations ahead of you because of they're so wicked.
“Tukun LEUM GOD lowos El luselosla keiwos, kowos in tia nunku mu El uskowosme ac sot lowos acn se inge ke sripen kowos mwet suwohs. Mo. LEUM GOD El ac lusla mwet inge keiwos mweyen elos mwet koluk.
5 It's not because you're so good or moral that you are going to take over their land. No, it's because of their wickedness that the Lord your God is driving out these nations ahead of you, to keep the promise he made to your fathers—m to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Tia mweyen kowos wo ac oru ma suwohs pa El lela nu suwos in eis acn selos. El ac luselosla mweyen elos koluk, ac mweyen El kena akpwayeye wuleang lal ma El tuh oru nu sin papa matu tomowos — Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.
6 You'd better believe that it's not because you're such good people that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to own, because you are stubborn, hard-hearted people.
Kowos in arulana etu lah LEUM GOD El tia sot lowos acn wowo se inge mweyen kowos pa fal in eis. Mo, kowos mwet likkeke.
7 Remember how you provoked the Lord your God in the desert! Don't ever forget it! From the time you left the land of Egypt until you arrived here, you've been constantly rebelling against the Lord.
“Nimet mulkunla ke kowos tuh oru LEUM GOD lowos El kasrkusrak yen mwesis. Mutawauk oe ke len se kowos illa liki acn Egypt nwe ke len se kowos sun acn inge, kowos nuna utuk nunak lainul.
8 At Horeb you provoked the Lord, making him so angry he was about to destroy you.
Finne ke Eol Sinai, kowos tuh akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD— lupan kasrkusrak lal fal na in anwuki kowos.
9 This was when I climbed up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets that recorded agreement the Lord made with you. I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, and I didn't eat or drink anything.
Nga utyak nu fineol ah in eis eot tupasrpasr ma wuleang inmasrlowos ac LEUM GOD tuh simla fac. Nga tuh muta we len angngaul ac fong angngaul, ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma.
10 The Lord gave me the two stone tablets on which he'd written with his finger everything he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there.
Na LEUM GOD El ase nu sik eot tupasrpasr luo su El sifacna simusla fac ke kufinpaol ma El tuh fahk nu suwos liki e sac ke len se ma kowos tuh tukeni pe eol soko ah.
11 After forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the agreement.
Aok, tukun len angngaul ac fong angngaul, LEUM GOD El ase nu sik eot tupasrpasr luo ma El simusla wuleang lal fac.
12 The Lord told me, “Hurry! Go down immediately, because your people that you led out of Egypt, are committing a terrible sin. They have disobeyed what I told them so quickly! They have made themselves an idol using molten metal.”
“Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Sulaklak tufokla, mweyen mwet lom su kom kolma liki Egypt elos oru ma na koluk. Elos forla liki ma nga sapkin nu selos, ac orala sie ma sruloela nu selos sifacna.’
13 The Lord also told me, “I have been watching these people, and they really are a stubborn and hard-hearted.
“LEUM GOD El oayapa fahk nu sik, ‘Nga etu lupan likkeke lun mwet inge.
14 Leave me, so that I can destroy them and wipe out their name completely. Then I will turn you into a nation even more powerful and more important than them.”
Nimet srike in kutongyuwi. Nga akoo in kunauselosla tuh in wangin mwet fah sifil esamulos nwe tok. Na nga fah oru tuh fwilin tulik nutum in sie mutunfacl yohk ac ku lukelos.’
15 I went back down the mountain while it was still on fire, carrying the two tablets of the agreement.
“Na nga forla ac fani liki eol uh, ac nga us inpouk eot tupasrpasr luo ma simla wuleang uh fac. In pacl sac e na lulap se firirrir fineol uh.
16 Then I saw how much you had sinned against the Lord your God by making for yourselves a molten calf. You had disobeyed what the Lord had told you so quickly.
Nga liye lah kowos seakos tari sap lun LEUM GOD nu suwos, ac kowos orekma koluk lainul ke kowos sifacna orala sie ma sruloela osra nu suwos in luman soko cow mukul.
17 I threw the two tablets down, smashing them to pieces as you watched.
Ke ma inge, nga sisya eot tupasrpasr uh nu infohk uh ye motowos, na fokelik nu ke ip srisrik.
18 Then I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, just as I had before. I didn't eat or drink anything because of all the sins you had committed by doing what was evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
Na nga sifil oankiyuki ye mutun LEUM GOD ke len angngaul ac fong angngaul, ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma. Nga oru ouinge mweyen kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac akkasrkusrakyal.
19 I was terrified at how angry and furious the Lord was with you. He was ready to destroy you. But once again the Lord listened to me.
Nga tuh sangeng ke mulat upa lun LEUM GOD, mweyen lupan kasrkusrak lal fal na in kunauskowosla; tusruktu LEUM GOD El sifilpa porongeyu.
20 The Lord was so angry with Aaron he was ready to destroy him, but right then I prayed for Aaron too.
LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sel Aaron ac oru Elan unilya, ouinge nga pre pac kacl Aaron in pacl sac pac.
21 I took that abominable thing, the calf you'd made, and burned it. Then I crushed it up and ground it into dust, and I threw it into the stream that descended from the mountain.
Nga eisla ma koluk se kowos orala — cow mukul osra soko ah — ac sisang nu in e uh. Na nga fukulya ac ililya in mwesri, ac sisla kutkut uh nu luin infacl soko ma soror fineol uh me.
22 But you went on provoking the Lord at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
“Kowos tuh oayapa akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD lowos ke pacl se kowos muta in acn Taberah, Massah, ac Kibroth Hattaavah.
23 When the Lord had you leave Kadesh-barnea, he told you, “Go and take over the country that I've given you.” But you defied the command of the Lord your God. You didn't believe him and you didn't obey him.
Oayapa ke pacl se El supwekowosla liki Kadesh Barnea ac sap kowos in som ac eisla facl se ma El asot nu suwos, a kowos utuk nunak lainul. Kowos tiana lulalfongel ku aksol.
24 You have been rebelling against the Lord from the day I first knew you.
Kowos nuna utuk nunak na lain LEUM GOD oe ke nga tufahna etekowosla ah.
25 So I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had threatened to destroy you.
Ouinge nga oankiyuki ye mutun LEUM GOD ke len angngaul ac fong angngaul mweyen nga etu lah El akoo in kunauskowosla.
26 I prayed to the Lord, saying, “Please Lord, God, don't destroy your people that belong to you, the ones whom you rescued by your great ability and led out of Egypt by your power.
Ac nga pre, ‘O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nimet kunausla mwet lom inge, su kom molelosla ac usalosme liki facl Egypt ke ku lulap lom.
27 Please remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please disregard the stubbornness of this people and their wicked sin.
Esamul Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, mwet kulansap lom, ac nimet lohang nu ke likkeke, kutasrik ac orekma koluk lun mwet inge.
28 If you don't, those people back in Egypt will say, ‘The Lord brought them out to kill them in the desert because he couldn't take them to the land he'd promised them, and because he hated them.’
Kom fin kunausla mwet lom, na mwet Egypt uh ac fahk mu kom kofla usla mwet lom nu in facl se kom tuh wulela nu selos kac. Elos ac fahk mu kom usla mwet lom nu yen mwesis in onelosi we, mweyen kom srungalos.
29 But they are your people, Lord! They belong to you! You led them out of Egypt by your amazing power and might!”
Pwayeiya uh, mwet inge pa kom tuh sulela in ma lom, ac su kom usalosme liki Egypt ke po kulana lom!
