Rapar Mar Chik 16
1 Rituru dwe mar Abib kendo utim nyasi mar Pasaka mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, nikech e dwe mar Abib nogolou e piny Misri gotieno.
“[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
2 Timuru misango mar Pasaka ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu gi chiayo mawuok e kweth jambu kata e kweth dhou kama en owuon noyier miluongo e nyinge.
[In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
3 Kik uchame gi makati moketie thowi, to kuom ndalo abiriyo cham makati motedi ma ok oketie thowi, makati mar lit, nikech ne uwuok Misri apoya nono; mondo ndalo duto mag ngimau ubed kuparo ndalo mane uwuok Misri.
[When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
4 Kik thowi moro amora yud kuomu kata e pinyu kuom ndalo abiriyo. Kik uwe ringʼo moro amora motimgo misango odhiambo mar odiechiengʼ mokwongo nindi nyaka kiny.
[During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
5 Kik utim misango mar Pasaka, e dala moro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye miyou,
“To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
6 makmana kama enoyier ne nyinge owuon. Kanyo ema nyaka utime misango mar Pasaka godhiambo, ka chiengʼ dhi podho kuparogo odiechiengʼ mane uwuokie Misri.
7 Buluru misangono kendo uchame kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro yiero. Bangʼe kochopo okinyi to doguru e hembeu.
Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
8 Kuom ndalo auchiel chamuru makati ma ok oketie thowi kendo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo beduru gi chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo kik uti tich moro amora chiengʼno.
Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
9 Kwanuru jumbe abiriyo ugol koa chiengʼ mane uchako kayoe cham mochungʼ.
“[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
10 Bangʼe timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Jumbe ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kuom golo chiwo mar hera kupimo maromre gi gweth ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osegwedhougo.
Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
11 Kendo beduru mamor e kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu noyier ni Nyinge kaka kar romo, in gi yawuoti kod nyigi, jotichni machwo gi mamon, jo-Lawi man e miechu, jodak, nyithind kiye, kod mon ma chwogi otho modak e dieru.
[Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
12 Par nine un wasumbini e piny Misri kendo luwuru chikegi adimba.
[“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
13 Timuru Sawo mar kiche kuom ndalo abiriyo ka usechoko cham moa kar dino bangʼ keyo kod divai mobi.
“[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
14 Beduru mamor e sawoni, yawuoti kod nyigi, jotichni machwo gi mamon, jo-Lawi, jodak, nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho modak e miechu.
[Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
15 Kuom ndalo abiriyo timuru sawo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e kama Jehova Nyasaye owuon noyier. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro gwedhou e keyo magu duto kendo e tij lweteu duto, mi moru nobed moromo.
Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
16 Jou machwo duto nyaka chopi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nyadidek e higa ka higa mondo otim sewni adekgo kama en owuon obiro yiero. Sewni adekgo gin Makati ma ok Oketie Thowi, Sawo mar Jumbe kod Sawo mar Kiche. Onge ngʼat manobi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye gi lwete nono.
“So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
17 To ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka kel mich maromre gi kaka Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhe.
in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
18 Keturu jongʼad bura kod jotend dhoutu e miechu duto ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou, to gibiro ngʼado ne jou bura makare.
“Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
19 Kik uketh adiera kata dewo wangʼ ngʼato, kik ukaw asoya, nikech asoya dino wenge joma riek kendo omiyo ngʼat makare bedo ngʼama rach.
They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
20 Luwuru tim makare kendo en kende ema uluwe mondo udagi amingʼa kendo ukaw piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou.
You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
21 Kik uket siro mar Ashera moro amora e bath kendo mar misango ma ugerone Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
“When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
22 kendo kik upa kidi milamo nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mon kodgi.
And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
