1 Magi e weche mane Musa owacho ne jo-Israel duto e piny motwo man wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, mano man Araba mochomore gi Suf e kind Paran kod Tofel; Laban, Hazeroth kod Dizahab.
These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against Suf, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (En wuodh ndalo apar gachiel kia Horeb nyaka Kadesh Barnea kiwuok e got maluwo yo Seir.)
([There are] eleven days [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.)
3 E higa mar piero angʼwen e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar apar gachiel, Musa ne owacho ne jo-Israel gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochike mondo owachnegi.
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them;
4 Ma ne bangʼ kane oseloyo Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane ruodh Heshbon kendo noloyo Og ruodh Bashan, ma bende nosebedo gi loch e piny Edrei gi Ashtaroth.
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 Musa nochako puonjo weche mag chik koa yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan nyaka tongʼ Moab kowachona niya,
On the east side of Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nowachonwa ka en Horeb niya, “Isedak mangʼeny ahinya e godni.
The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Wuogi e kambi kendo iwuoth kichomo bungu man e gode mag jo-Amor, dhi e miech ji duto mokiewo gi Araba, jogo modak e gode, jogo modak e tie gode man yo podho chiengʼ, jogo modak Negev kod mago modak e dho nam, kaachiel gi jogo modak e piny Kanaan kod Lebanon, nyaka chop e aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and to all [the places] nigh to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Ne, asemiyoi pinyni. Dhiuru kendo ukaw piny mane Jehova Nyasaye ne okwongʼore ni nomi Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kaachiel gi nyikwagi.”
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
9 E odiechiengno ne awachonu niya, “Un joma tekogi ohinga ma ok anyal tingʼo kenda.
And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo kwan maru omedore ma kawuono ungʼeny mana ka sulwe manie kor polo.
The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu mi unyaa moromo alufu gi alufu kendo enogwedhu mana kaka nosingore.
(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 To ere kaka anyalo tingʼo chandruoku, tingʼ magu mapek kod dondruokgo kenda awuon.
How can I alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Yier jomariek man-gi winjo kod joma nigi luor mowuok e dhoudi duto kendo naketgi jotendu.”
Take ye wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 Ne udwoka niya, “Gima iparo mar timono nikare.”
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
15 Omiyo nakawo joma otelo ne dhoutu, ma gin joma riek momi luor kendo naketogi mondo gibed loch kuomu kaka jotend oganda. Moko kuomgi naketo jotend ji alufu alufu, to moko jotend mia mia, to moko jotend ji piero abich abich, bangʼe moko jotend ji apar apar kendo moko naketo jotelo mopogore opogore e dhoutgi duto.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 E kindeno nachiko jongʼad bura mau niya, Winjuru weche manie kind oweteu kendo ungʼad bura kare poni nitie bura e kind jo-Israel kendgi kata e kind ja-Israel kod japiny moro.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between [every] man and his brother, and the stranger [that is] with him.
17 Kik udew wangʼ ka ungʼado bura, winj ngʼat matin kod maduongʼ mana machal. Kik uluor wangʼ ngʼato nimar bura makare en mar Nyasaye. Kelnauru bura moro amora matek ma ok unyal kendo abiro winjo.
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.
18 Kendo kanyo ema ne anyisue gik moko duto mane onego utim.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nochikowa, ne wachako wuoth ka wawuok Horeb kendo ne wachomo pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor, kwakalo e dier bungu malich ma useneno kendo ne wachopo Kadesh Barnea.
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Usechopo e pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa.
And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to us.
21 To ne, Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu osemiyou piny. Dhiuru mondo ukawe mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu nowacho niya. Kik ubed maluor, chunyu bende kik nyosre.”
Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up [and] possess [it], as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 Eka un duto nubiro ira muwachna niya, “Waor jomoko nyimwa mondo odhi onon-nwa piny kendo odwoknwa wach e yo ma onego walu gi dala ma wabiro chopoe.”
And ye came near to me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall explore the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 Parono ne aneno kaber omiyo ne ayiero ji apar gariyo kuomu ka ngʼato ka ngʼato oa e dhoodgi.
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 Ne giwuok ka gidhi e pinje mag gode ma gichopo e Holo mar Eshkol mondo ginon kaka pinyno obet.
And they turned and ascended the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and explored it.
25 Negikawo gik monyak e pinyno, mi gikelonwa, kagiwacho niya, “En piny maber ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa biro miyowa.”
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought [it] down to us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
26 Ne ok giyie dhi e pinyno, kendo ne gingʼanyo mi gidagi winjo chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
27 Ne ungʼur e hembeu ka uwacho niya, Jehova Nyasaye ok dwarwa, omiyo nogolowa e piny Misri mondo ochiw-wa e lwet jo-Amor mondo otiekwa.
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Ere kuma wanyalo dhiyoe? Owetewa osechido chunywa, ka giwachonwa niya, “Jogo tek kendo boyo moloyowa, mier madongo lach kendo nigi ohinga, bende ne waneno jo-Anak.”
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [are] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to heaven; and moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Kik ubwogi, kik uluorgi
Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ma otelo e nyimu, biro kedonu mana kaka ne okedonu e piny Misri kod e thim ka uneno gi wengeu uwegi.
The LORD your God who goeth before you; he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 Kuno bende ne uneno kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu okawo tingʼu mana kaka wuoro kawo tingʼ wuode, kotelonu e wuodhu duto nyaka uchopo ka.”
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Ei magi duto ne ok uketo genou kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
33 mane otelo nyimu e wuodhu, gotieno notelonu gi mach to godiechiengʼ notelonu gi rumbi mondo umany kuonde monego ubworie kendo onyisu yo monego uluw.
Who went in the way before you, to search out for you a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Kane Jehova Nyasaye owinjo gima ne uwacho, mirima nomake mi okwongʼore niya,
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 “Onge ngʼama nitiere e tiengʼ mobamni manone piny maberni mane asingora ni nami kweregi,
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 makmana Kaleb wuod Jefune. En ema none pinyno kendo anamiyego kaachiel gi nyikwaye kamoro amora ma tiende nonyon nikech osebedo koluwo Jehova Nyasaye gi chunye duto.”
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trod upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
37 Nikech un, Jehova Nyasaye ne okecho koda mi owachona niya, “Ok inidonji e pinyno.”
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 To jalupni ma en Joshua wuod Nun ema nodonji e pinyno. Omiyo jiwe nikech en ema notelne jo-Israel duto ka kawo pinyno.
[But] Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 To jomatindo mane uwacho ni biro ter e twech, ma gin nyithindo ma ok ongʼeyo pogo ber kod rach, gin ema ginidonji e pinyno. Anamigi pinyno kendo ginikawe mi gidagie.
Moreover, your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 To un chakuru wuoth kudok chien e thim kuchomo Nam Makwar.
But [as for] you, turn ye, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Eka ne udwoko niya, “Wasetimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Wabiro aa malo kendo kedo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa ochikowa.” Omiyo ji duto norwako gige lweny ka giparo ni en gima yot monjo piny godeno.
Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to ascend the hill.
42 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, Kwergi ni kik gidhi gikedi nimar ok anabed kodgi. Ibiro lowu gi wasiku.
And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 Ne awachonu kamano to ne ok unyal winjo. Ne ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mi ok uluwo chikene, kendo gi wich teko maru ne uwuotho ka udhi e piny mar gode.
So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and presumptuously ascended the hill.
44 Jo-Amor mane odak e pinje godego ne omonjou, mi gilawou ka kich ma ogodak kagi goyou chakre Seir nyaka Horma.
And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even] to Hormah.
45 Ne udwogo ma uywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ne ok ochiko ite ne ywaku kendo ne ok owinjo kwayou.
And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you.
46 Omiyo ne udak Kadesh kuom kinde mangʼeny, adier kuom kinde mangʼeny ne udak kuno.
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode [there].
