Deuteronomy 13

1 “Sie mwet palu, ku sie mwet su aketeya kalmen mweme uh, fin wulela mu el ac oru sie mwenmen ku sie ma usrnguk

And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 tuh elan pwenkowosla kowos in alu ac orekma nu sin kutu god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet, na finne sikyak oana ma el wulela kac,

and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;

3 nimet kowos lohang nu sel. LEUM GOD lowos El orekmakunul in srike kowos, in liye lah kowos lungse LEUM GOD ke insiowos nufon.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Fahsr tukun LEUM GOD mukena, ac arulana akfulatyal. Aksol ac liyaung ma nukewa El sapkin. Alu nu sel ac inse pwaye nu sel.

You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.

5 A kowos in uniya kutena mwet su aketeya mweme, ku mwet palu su fahk kowos in lain LEUM GOD— El su molikowosla liki acn Egypt, yen kowos tuh mwet kohs we. Kutena mwet su oru ma inge el koluk ac el srike in kifuskowosla liki moul se ma LEUM GOD El sap kowos in moulkin. Enenu na in anwuki el, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki inmasrlowos.

And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst you.

6 “Finne tamulel lom, ku wen nutum, ku acn nutum, ku mutan kiom su saok sum, ku kawuk fototo lom, elos ku in kwafe nu sum in lukma tuh kom in alu nu sin god saya, god su kom ac papa matu tomom tia wi alu nu se meet.

And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,

7 Sie selos ac ku in kwafe sum kom in alu nu sin god lun mwet ma muta apkuran nu yurum, ku god lun mwet ma muta loesla liki kom.

of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;

8 Tusruktu nik kom lela elan kifuskomla; tia pac lohngol. Nik kom kulang nu sel ku pakomutal, ac nik kom loangel.

you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:

9 Unilya! Oru in kom pa mwet se oemeet tanglal, na fah sang mwet saya nukewa in wi pac tanglal.

you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.

10 Tanglal nwe ke na el misa, mweyen el oru elan kifuskomla liki LEUM GOD lom, su uskomme liki Egypt, acn kom tuh mwet kohs we.

And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Na mwet Israel nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangeng, na wangin sie fah sifilpa oru ma koluk ouinge.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.

12 “Ke pacl se kowos muta in siti ma LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos, kowos ac mau lohng

And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,

13 lah kutu sin mwet lusrongten in mutunfacl suwos uh aktafongyela mwet in siti selos tuh elos in alu nu sin god su kowos soenna alu nu se meet.

Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,

14 Kowos fin lohng ke sramsram ouingan, lohlla akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak,

then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,

15 na uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac, wi kosro nukewa, ac kunausla ma nukewa we.

you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.

16 Orani ma nukewa lun mwet su muta in siti sac, ac elosak ke acn in tukeni lalos. Na esukak siti sac ac ma nukewa loac, in oana sie mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Acn sac fah tia sifilpa musaiyuk, a in mahnum se na nwe tok.

And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.

17 Nimet eis lowos kutena ma su sapkinyuk in kunausyukla, na LEUM GOD El fah forla liki kasrkusrak lulap lal, ac akkalemye pakoten lal nu suwos. El ac fah pakomutowos ac oru kowos in puseni, oana ma El wulela nu sin papa matu tomowos,

And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware to your fathers;

18 kowos fin akos sap lal nukewa ma nga sot nu suwos misenge, ac oru ma El kena kowos in oru.

if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
