Exodus 23 (KBQ)

1Vahe'mo'ma osu'nesiazankura krunagea hutma vano osiho. Hazenke vahetega anteta havi kea keagafina huamara osiho.“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.

2Rama'a vahera avaririnka kefo avu'ava zana osuo. Hagi mago'mo'ma keagare'ma oti'nenama, rama'a vahe'mo'za havi kema hunente'nagenka kagranena zamavaririnka havi kea osuo.You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.

3Hanki mago zanarimpa osu'neke ke ha'ma nehanankenka, amunte omane nere hunka agri kazigagera onto.And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.

4Ha' vahekamofo bulimakao afuro donki afumo'ma hazagre'nena kesnunka, ete avrenka nafa'amofo ome amio.If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.

5Avesinogantesnia ne'mofo tonki afumo'ma, tusi'a knaza erino nevanifintima ome traka huno'ma masenenkenka, ana nera aza hunka donki afu'a azeri otio.If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.

6Hanki amunte omne vahe'mo'ma keagafima oti'nesigenka amunte me'nea vahetega antenka azeri havizana osunka keaga antahi so'e huo.You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.

7Havigea hunka hazenkema osu'nesia vahera keagafina avrentege ahe frigera osunka ogantu'a manio. Na'ankure Nagra e'inama hanaza vahetamimofo kumira atre ozmantegosue.Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.

8Keagafima mani'neno'ma aza huogu'ma masavema huno kamisia zana e'orio. Na'ankure masavema huno aza hinogu'ma ami zamo'a, keagama refkohu vahe'mofo avurga eri asu higeno, fatgo vahe'mofo kea eri rukrahe nehie.Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.

9Ru moparetima tamagranema emani'naza vahera zamazeri havi zana osiho. Na'ankure tamagrama Isipi moparema mani'netama eri'naza knazana antahi'naze.Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

10Tamagra hoza 6si'a kafumofo agu'afi erita nenteta, ne'zama'a vasageho.For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,

11Hianagi 7ni kafurera ana mopafina hoza onteta atrenkeno manigsa hino. Hagi ana mopafima agra'ama hagesia ne'zana atrenkeno zamunte omane vahe'mo'za eri'za nenenkeno, mago'a afi zagagafamo'za neho. Ana zanke huta olivi zafa hozane waini zafa hozanena onkrita atrenkeno mopamo'a amne meno.but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.

12Miko erizantamia 6si'a zage knafi erigahaze. Hianagi 7ni zagekna zupa manigsa hinkeno bulimakao afutamimo'ene donki afutamimo'ene, tamagri kazokzo eri'za a'mofo mofavretamine, emani vahe'mo'zama eri'zama e'nerisaza nena manigsa hugahaze.For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.

13Nagrama huogu'ma kasami'noa kea antahi ankere'nenka, havi anumazantmimofo agiramina ahege, ana anumzatmimofo agigenke'a huama osiho. Nehinke'za zamagra ontahiho.Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.

14Mago kafufina 3'a zupa atru huta ne'zana kreta neneta, monora hunantetere hiho.Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.

15Nagrama hurmante'noaza hutma ese ne'zama nesazana 7ni'a zageknafi zo-ore bretia neho. E'i ana ne'zana Avibi (March-April) ikante netere hiho. Na'ankure e'i ana ikante Isipitira atreta atiramita e'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana mika'mo'za amnea ome'za zamente zamente kresramna vu musezana eri'za eho.You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.

16Anantera ne'zama hamare'zamofo musema hu knarera, ese'ma hozafima nenama hania kavera emeritru hutma ne'zana neneta musena nehutma, ana hukna huta ne'zama vasage nompima ante vagare knarera, ne'zana neneta musena hugahaze.You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.

17Mago kafufina 3'a zupa mika venene'motma Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'na navuga etere hiho.Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.

18Nagritegama kresramnama vunantesaza zagamofo koranpina zistima me'nesiazana erinteta Kresramana vuonanteho. Hianagi ana zagagafamofo afovamo'a me'nenkeno kora otino, hanki ana zupage tevefi kre fanane hiho.You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.

19Ese ne'zama hozatamifinti'ma vasagesazana eritma Rantami Anumzamofo nompi eme amiho. Hagi anenta meme afura nerera ami rimpina onkreho.Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

20Antahiho, Nagra ankero vahe'ni'a huntoankino, ugota hurmanteno nevuno kantega kegava huramanteno retro'ma huramante'noa kumatera vugahie.Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

21Ana ne'mo'ma mika'a kema kasmisiana, hara reontenka ke'a antahinka erizafa huo. Na'ankure Nagri nagimo'a agripi me'nena, ha'marentesanana kumika'a atreogantegosie.Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.

22Hianagi Nagrama asamisua kema tamasmi'na ke'ama antahita avaririsage'na, Nagra ha' vahetamimofona ha' hunentena, ha'ma rezmantesaza vahera ha' rezamantegahue.But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

23Na'ankure ankeronimo'a ugagota hurmanteno tamavreno Amori vahepine, Hiti vahepine, Perisi vahepine, Kenani vahepine, Hivi vahepine, Jebusi vahe'mofo mopafinena nevina, Nagra ana kumatmimpi vahetmina zmahehana hugahue.For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.

24Zamagri anumzatmintera tamarenarege monora huntege, zamavu'zmavara avaririta osiho. Hagi mika havi anumzazmia erita rurako hutreho.You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.

25Hagi Anumza Rantamimofona Agrike monora hunentenke'na, ne'zama nesaza zane, tima nesaza zana asomu huneramante'na kria amu'notmifintira eritra'neno.So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.

26Hagi mofavrea kase ofri knare hu'za kse nezmante'nageno, magore huno naravora ana mopafina omanigahie. Hagi ana mopafina tamagra zaza kna manitetma frigahaze.No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.

27Nagra vugota hu'na ana ha' vahetimia zamazeri kore neha'nena antahintahi zamimo'a savri nehina rukrahe hu'za kore fregahaze.I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.

28Nagra tume huntanenkeno ugota hurmanteno Hivi vahe'ma, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahera zmarotago hinke'za ana mopafina omanigosaze.I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

29Hianagi magoke kafufinkera zamahe kaso'opegosue, na'ankure e'inama hanugeno'a, afi zagagafamo'a forehu hakare huno mika kaziga avite'neno, tamazeri havizantfa hugahie.I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.

30E'igu akohe'na, ha' vahetimia osi'a zamazeri atretere nehanugeta, hakare vahe'ma fore huta miko mopa mani aviteghaze.Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.

31Mopatimimofo atupa'ama ometre emetrema hu'neana, koranke hgerinteti eri agafa huno vuno Medeterenia hagerinte ome atregahie. Hagi mago kaziga asopa'amo'a ka'ma mopareti erigafa huno vuno Yufretisi tinte ome atregahie. Hagi e'i ana mopafima nemaniza vahera Nagra tamaza nehane'na mopazmia zamaheta hanaregahaze.And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

32Hanki mago huvempa kea ana mopare vahe'eneno, anumzazmirera huta eri hageorafiho.You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

33Zamatrenke'za tamagri mopafina omaniho. Na'ankure tamazeri savari hanageta havi anumzante monora hunenteta kumi hanageno, kukomo tamazeriankna hugahie.They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
