Rapar Mar Chik 13

1 Ka janabi moro kata ngʼat mokoro gik mabiro timore e lek otuch e dieru kendo ohulo wach moro mar hono kod ranyisi,

“If there will have arisen in your midst a prophet, or someone who claims that he had seen a dream, and if he will have predicted sign and portent,

2 kendo ka honono kod ranyisino ma ohulo otimore bangʼe owacho niya, “We walu nyiseche mamokogi (ma gin nyiseche ma ok ungʼeyo) kendo ka owacho ni we walamgi,”

and if what he has spoken happens, and he says to you, ‘Let us go and follow strange gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’

3 to kik uwinj wach janabino kata jalekno. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu temou mondo ongʼe ane ka uhere gi chunyu duto kod ngimau duto.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you, so that it may become clear whether or not you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 En Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kende ema onego uluw kendo en kende ema owinjore umiye luor. Rituru chikene, luoreuru, tineuru kendo upadru kuome.

Follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and listen to his voice. Him shall you serve, and to him shall you cling.

5 Janabino kata jalekno nyaka negi nimar opuonjo tim ngʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane oresou kagolou Misri kaka wasumbini; kendo osetemo golou e yore mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochikou mondo uluw. Tim marachni nyaka ugol e dieru.

But that prophet or forger of dreams shall be put to death. For he has spoken so as to turn you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt and who redeemed you from the house of servitude, and so as to cause you to wander from the way that the Lord your God has entrusted to you. And so shall you remove the evil from your midst.

6 Ka dipo owadu hie, wuodi, nyari kata chiegi mihero kata osiepni migeno hoyi lingʼ-lingʼ kawachoni niya, “We wadhi mondo walam nyiseche mamoko” (ma gin nyiseche ma in kata kwereni ne ok ongʼeyo;

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your own son or daughter, or your wife who is in your bosom, or your friend, whom you love like your own soul, were willing to persuade you secretly, saying: ‘Let us go, and serve foreign gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known,

7 ma gin nyiseche mag ogendini mokiewo kodu, bed ni gin machiegni kata mabor, kochakore e bath piny konchiel nyaka komachielo);

gods from any of the surrounding nations, whether these are near or far away, from the beginning even to the end of the earth,

8 to kik iyie olok pachi kata winjo wachne. Kik itimne ngʼwono moro amora kendo kik iluwe kata pande.

you should neither agree with him, nor listen to him. And your eye should not spare him so that you take pity on him and conceal him.

9 Nyaka inege kendo lweti owuon ema okuong tere e tho. Bangʼe lwet ji moko duto bende otim kamano.

Instead, you shall put him to death promptly. Let your hand be upon him first, and after that, let the hands of all the people be sent forth.

10 Chieleuru gi kite nyaka otho, nimar otemo golou kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mane ogolou Misri e piny mane unie wasumbini.

He shall be killed by being overwhelmed with stones. For he was willing to draw you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.

11 Eka jo-Israel nowinj wachno mabed giluoro, to onge ngʼato kuomu kendo manotim gima rachno kendo.

So may all of Israel, upon hearing this, be afraid, so that nothing like this will ever be done again.

12 Ka iwinjo ka iwacho e achiel kuom miechu ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou mondo udagie

If, in one of your cities which the Lord your God will give to you as a habitation, you hear someone say:

13 ni joma timbegi mono osedonjo e miechgi ma osewuondo ji mangʼeny kuondego kawachonegi niya, “Wadhiuru walam nyiseche mamoko” (ma gin nyiseche ma ok usengʼeyo),

‘The sons of Belial have departed from your midst, and they have persuaded the inhabitants of their city, and they have said: “Let us go, and serve strange gods,”’ which you have not known:

14 to wachno nyaka unon matut ahinya ka en adieri. Ka osenwangʼo kamano ni gima kwero osetimore e dieru,

inquire carefully and diligently, seeking the truth of the matter. And if you find that what was said is certain, and that this abomination is a work which has been perpetrated,

15 to nyaka uneg jogo duto modak e dalano gi ligangla. Neg-giuru duto kaachiel gi jambgi.

you shall promptly strike down the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword. And you shall destroy it, along with all the things that are in it, even the flocks.

16 Chokuru gik moyaki dalano kendo uketgi e laru mi uwangʼ-gi kaka misango miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Nyaka odongʼ gunda ma ok nochak ger.

Then all the household goods which are there, you shall gather together in the midst of its streets, and you shall set fire to these, along with the city itself, so that you may consume everything for the Lord your God, and so that it may be an everlasting tomb. It shall no longer be built up.

17 Gik mamonogo kik yud e lwetu eka mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye norum, mi notimnu ngʼwono kendo ununyaa kaka nosingore ne kwereu.

And there shall remain nothing of that anathema in your hand, so that the Lord may turn from the wrath of his fury, and may take pity on you, and may multiply you, just as he swore to your fathers,

18 Nikech uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kurito chikene duto ma amiyi kawuono kendo ka utimo gik makare e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.

when you will heed the voice of the Lord your God, keeping all his precepts, which I am entrusting to you this day, so that you may do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.”
