Deuteronomy 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, even any evil thing; for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
1“Nimet kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lowos, kutena cow ku sheep ma oasr kutena ma koluk ke mano. Ma inge mwe srungayuk sel.
2If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing His covenant,
2“Kowos fin lohng lah oasr in sie sin siti suwos, sie mwet — mukul ku mutan — su orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac kunausla wuleang lal
3and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have commanded not;
3ke el alu ku orekma nu sin god saya, ku nu ke faht, malem ku itu, ac ma inge lain ma sap lun LEUM GOD .
4and it be told thee, and thou hear it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel;
4Kowos fin lohng kain in pweng inge, kowos sokak akwoya. Fin pwaye lah ma koluk se inge sikyak in Israel,
5then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die.
5na usla mwet sac nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.
6At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
6Tusruktu, el ac anwuki fin oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, su lainul; el fah tia anwuki fin oasr mwet loh sefanna.
7The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
7Mwet loh inge pa ac tanglal meet uh, toko na mwet ngia fah wi tanglal. Pa inge ma ac oru lumah koluk se inge in wanginla.
8If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.
8“Kutu pacl uh, ac upa nu sin mwet nununku in sie siti in orala wotela lalos in konauk ma pwaye ke kain in sripa inge: suwohs ke ma lun mwet ke acn, ku ke musalla lun mano, ku ke misa se lah ma ke ongla ouiya ku akmas akola se. Pacl lumah ouinge sikyak, kowos in som nu ke acn in alu se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sulela kowos in alu we,
9And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment.
9ac sang sripa lowos nu sin mwet Levi su mwet tol, ac nu sin mwet nununku se su orekma in pacl sac, elos in wotela.
10And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee.
10Elos ac orala wotela lalos, na kowos fah oru oana ma elos fahk.
11According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
11Kowos in insese nu ke konauk lalos, ac fahsr fal nu ke ma nukewa elos sapkin.
12And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel.
12Kutena mwet su seakos ma mwet nununku sac ku mwet tol se su orekma ke pacl sacn wotela uh, fah anwuki. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki Israel.
13And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
13Mwet nukewa fah lohng kac ac sangengla, na wangin mwet ac sifil pulaik in oru lumah inge.
14When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say: 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';
14“Tukun kowos ac eisla facl se LEUM GOD lowos El ac sot nu suwos ac kowos oakwuki tari we, na kowos ac lungse in oasr sie tokosra lowos, in oana mutunfacl nukewa su raunikowosla.
15thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.
15Karinganang tuh mwet se kowos ac sulela in tokosra elan mwet se ma LEUM GOD El sulela. El enenu elan siena sin mwet Israel wiowos. Nik kowos oru sie mwetsac in tokosra lowos.
16Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'
16Tia enenu in pukanten horse nutin un mwet mweun lal tokosra, ac elan tia supwala mwet nu Egypt in moul horse we, mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk tari mu mwet lal in tia sifil folok nu we.
17Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
17In tia pus mutan kien tokosra, mweyen elos ac ku in kifasulla liki LEUM GOD ; ac elan tia sifacna akkasrupyal ke silver ac gold.
18And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.
18Pacl se el ac tokosrala, enenu in oasr yorol sie ma simusla ke book in ma sap ac kas in luti lun God, ma simla oana book limlim emeet ah ma karinginyuk sin mwet tol Levi.
19And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
19Book se inge elan karingin in oanna siskal, ac elan riti in moul lal nufon tuh elan lutlut in arulana akfulatye LEUM GOD , ac in oaru in akos ma nukewa ma sapkinyuk loac.
20that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
20Ma inge ac fah oru elan tia nunku mu el wo liki mwet Israel wial, oayapa elan tia seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD in kutena ouiya. Na el fah leum ke yac puspis, ac fwilin tulik natul ac fah leumi Israel ke fwil puspis tokol.
