Deuteronomy 12
1 “Pa inge ma sap ac ma oakwuk su kowos in akos ke lusen pacl kowos moul muta fin facl se su LEUM GOD lun papa matu tomowos El asot nu suwos.
These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk upon the earth.
2 Ke kowos ac lusla mwet in mutunfacl sac, kowos in kunausla acn nukewa ma mwet uh alu nu sin god lalos uh we — fineol uh, fin inging uh, ac ye sak folfol uh.
Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady tree:
3 Kunausla loang lalos nukewa, ac fukulya sru eot lalos in muliplipi. Esukak mwe akul nukewa ke Asherah, god mutan lalos, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lalos, tuh mwet uh fah tia ku in sifil alu nu kac fin acn ingan.
Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.
4 “Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma mwet inge oru ke elos alu nu sin god lalos.
You shall not do so to the Lord your God:
5 LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela sie sin acn inmasrlon sruf nukewa lowos, tuh mwet uh in tuku nu ye mutal ac alu nu sel we.
But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in it:
6 Kowos ac fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya: sie tafu singoul liki ma lowos, ac mwe sang lowos, mwe kite ma kowos wuleang nu sin LEUM GOD kac, mwe kisa ke engan na lun mwet se in oru, ac wounse ke cow ac sheep nutuwos.
And you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and your sheep.
7 Na ingo, ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos su akinsewowoye kowos, kowos ac sou lowos fah mongo ac engankin orekma wo kowos orala.
And you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you shall rejoice in all things, whereunto you shall put your hand, you and your houses wherein the Lord your God hath blessed you.
8 “In pacl sac, kowos in tia oru oana kowos oru meet ah. Nwe ke pacl se inge kowos nukewa alu oana lungse lowos,
You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.
9 mweyen kowos soenna ilyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, yen kowos ac mutana we in misla.
For until this present time you are not come to refit, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.
10 Ke pacl se kowos ac fah alukela Infacl Jordan, LEUM GOD El ac lela kowos in eis facl sac ac muta we. El ac fah karingin kowos liki mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa, ac kowos fah muta in misla.
You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear,
11 LEUM GOD El ac fah sulela siena acn kowos in alu nu sel we, na ingo kowos ac fah use nu yorol ma nukewa ma nga sapkin: mwe kisa firir lowos ac oayapa mwe kisa lowos saya, sie tafu singoul lowos, mwe sang lowos, ac mwe kite mutal lowos ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD.
In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord.
12 Kowos in engan we ye mutal, wi tulik nutuwos, mwet kulansap lowos, ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos. Esam lah wangin acn lun mwet Levi sifacna.
There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maid-servants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among you.
13 Kowos fah tia oru mwe kisa lowos ke acn kowos sifacna sulela;
Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see:
14 a kowos fah oru ke acn sefanna ma LEUM GOD El sulela: sie acn ke sie sin sruf lowos. Acn sac mukena pa kowos fah oru mwe kisa firir lowos we, ac oru pac ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos.
But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and shalt do all that I command thee.
15 “Tusruktu kowos sukosok in uniya ac kang kosro nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we. Kowos ku in kang pisa na kowos lungse, fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos. Kowos nukewa — mwet ma aknasnasyeyukla ac mwet ma tia aknasnasyeyukla — ku in kang, oana ke kowos kang ikwen deer ku antelope.
But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:
16 Tusruktu kowos fah tiana kang srah kac uh. Kowos fah okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
Only the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
17 Nimet kang kutena ma kowos kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD ke acn kowos muta we — tia mwe sang ke sie tafu singoul ke wheat lowos, wain lowos, ku oil in olive lowos; tia pac wounsien cow ac sheep nutuwos, ku mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu sin LEUM GOD, ku mwe sang kowos oru ke engan na lowos in oru, ku kutena mwe sang saya.
Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands:
18 Kowos ac tulik nutuwos, wi mwet kulansap lowos ac mwet Levi su muta in siti suwos, fah mongo ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD lowos mukena, in acn in alu se na ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela. Ac kowos in engan we ke orekma nukewa ma kowos orala.
But thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put thy hand.
19 Esam pac in tia pilesru mwet Levi ke lusenna pacl kowos muta in fahl suwos.
Take heed thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land.
20 “Ke pacl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik acn suwos uh, oana ke El tuh wulela kac, kowos ku in mongo ikwa ke pacl na kowos lungse.
When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth:
21 Fin acn in alu sac arulana loesla, na kutena pacl ma kowos lungse, kowos ku in uniya soko sin cow ku sheep ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos, ac kowos ku in kang ikwa kac in acn suwos, oana ke nga tuh fahk nu suwos.
And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee.
22 Kutena mwet — elos su aknasnasyeyukla ku elos su tia nasnasyeyukla — ku in kang ikwa inge, oana ke el kang ikwen deer ku antelope.
Even as the roe and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the clean and unclean shall eat of them alike.
23 Ma sefanna, nimet kang ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac, mweyen moul uh oasr ke srah uh, na kowos fah tia kang moul sac wi ikwa sac.
Only beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul with the flesh:
24 Nimet orekmakin srah nu ke mwe mongo, a okoala nu infohk uh oana kof uh.
But thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water,
25 Kowos in tia kang srah, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD.
That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
26 Kowos in us mwe sang lowos ac mwe kite ma kowos wuleang kac nu ke acn in alu sefanna ma LEUM GOD El fah sulela.
But the things which thou hast sanctified and vowed to the Lord, thou shalt take, and shalt come to the place which the Lord shall choose:
27 Kisakin ingo mwe kisa ma enenu in firirla nufon fin loang lun LEUM GOD. Oayapa mwe kisa su kowos ac kang ikwa kac uh ac okoala srah kac fin loang uh.
And shalt offer thy oblations the flesh and the blood upon the altar of the Lord thy God: the blood of thy victims thou shalt pour on the altar: and the flesh thou thyself shalt eat.
28 Oaru in akos ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos, ac ma nukewa fah wo nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok, mweyen kowos oru ma suwohs ac ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD lowos.
Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.
29 “LEUM GOD lowos fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa kowos fah mweuni, ac kowos ac fah eis facl selos ac oakwuki we.
When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
30 Tukun LEUM GOD El kunausla mutunfacl inge, na kowos in arulana karinganang tuh kowos in tia sruhfla ke alu lalos. Kowos in tia srike in konauk lah elos alu fuka nu sin god lalos tuh kowos in etaelos.
Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
31 Nimet alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in ouiya ma elos alu nu sin god lalos, tuh ke elos alu nu sin god lalos elos oru ma nukewa ma srungayuk yurin LEUM GOD. Elos kisakin pac tulik natulos in e fin loang lalos.
Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
32 “Oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos. Nimet laesla kutena ma nu kac, ku eisla kutena ma liki.
What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
