Rapar Mar Chik 10
1 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Paa kite ariyo machal gi mane okwongo ka, mondo ibi ira e got kendo ilos Sanduk bao.
“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
2 Abiro ndiko e kitego weche mane ni e kite mopa mokwongo mane itoyo, eka iketgi e sandugno.”
I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
3 Omiyo ne aloso Sandug Muma gi yiend siala, mine apayo kite ariyo machal gi mane okwongo ka, eka ne adhi e got gi kite ariyogo katingʼo e lweta.
“So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
4 Jehova Nyasaye ne ondiko e kite mopagi weche mane ondikoe mokwongo, mane gin Chike Apar, mane owuoyogo kodu e got gi ei mach, e chiengʼ chokruok maler. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nomiyagi.
There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
5 Eka ne alor kaa e got mi aketo kite mopa mag chikego e sanduku mane aseloso mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne osechiko kendo gin kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
6 (Jo-Israel nowuotho koa e sokni mag Jaakan nyaka Mosera; kanyo ema ne Harun othoe mi oike kendo Eliazar wuode nokawo tichne kaka jadolo.
(Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
7 Koa kanyo ne giwuotho ka gidhi Gudgoda ma gichopo nyaka Jotbatha, piny aore.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
8 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye ne oketo tenge oganda joka Lawi mondo otingʼ Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka gitiyo tijene kendo ka gigwedho e nying Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chil kawuono.
At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
9 Mano ema omiyo joka Lawi ok yud pokgi e kind jowetegi; nimar Jehova Nyasaye e pokgi mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nowachonegi.)
That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
10 Koro ne asebet e got kuom ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno mana kaka ne atimo mokwongo mi Jehova Nyasaye ne ochako owinja kendo ok ne en dwarone mondo otieku.
“I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
11 Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya, “Dhiyo mondo itelne ji e yo mondo ukaw piny mane asesingora ni kweregi ni anamigi.”
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
12 To koro sani, yaye Israel, en angʼo ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dwaro makmana miye luor kendo wuotho e yorene kendo hero tiyone gi chunyu duto kod ngimau duto.
“Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
13 Bende Jehova Nyasaye dwaro ni mondo urit buchene gi chikene ma amiyou kawuononi mondo okonyu.
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e wuon polo kata polo man malo manade kaachiel gi piny kod gik moko duto manie iye.
“Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
15 Kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye norito kwereu nimar noherogi mi bangʼe noyiero mana un, nyikwagi e dier ogendini mamoko duto mondo ubed joge mana kaka pod un nyaka chil kawuono.
But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
16 Chunyu mondo oter nyangu, kendo weuru wich teko.
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en Nyasach nyiseche kendo Ruoth mar ruodhi; Nyasaye maduongʼ malich kendo ratego, ma ok dew wangʼ ngʼato kata kawo asoya.
Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
18 Orito nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho kendo ohero jodak komiyogi chiemo kod lewni.
He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
19 Nyaka uher jodak manie dieru nimar un bende ne un jodak e piny Misri.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
20 Luoruru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo utine. Rituru adiera mare ka ukwongʼoru e nyinge.
Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
21 En ema nyaka umiye pak, nimar en Nyasachu ma osetimo timbe madongo kendo malich ma useneno gi wengeu.
He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
22 Kwereu duto mane odhi e piny Misri noromo ji piero abiriyo, to koro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo unyaa mangʼeny mana ka sulwe manie kor polo.
When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
