Rapar Mar Chik 19
1 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembo kendo otieko ogendini ma omiyou pinygi ma udakie,
When the Lord thy God shall have cut off the nations, whose land the Lord thy God giveth thee, and thou hast driven them out, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses:
2 to yieruru kendo uket tenge mier madongo adek man e dier pinyno ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou mondo ukaw.
Then shalt thou set apart three cities for thyself, in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3 Geruru yore kuno kendo upog piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou ka girkenino nyadidek, mondo ka ngʼato onego dhano to oring odhi otony kuno.
Thou shalt put in order for thyself the [way to them], and divide into three parts the territory of thy land, which the Lord thy God will give thee to inherit, and it shall serve, that every man-slayer may flee thither.
4 Ma e chik moketi ne ngʼama onego wadgi kobothne kendo ok ongʼeyo mi oringo odhi kanyo mondo ores ngimane.
And this is the case of the man-slayer, who shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso smiteth his neighbor without knowledge, when he hath not been an enemy to him in time past;
5 Kuom ranyisi ngʼato nyalo dhi kod nyawadgi e bungu mondo gitongʼ yien kendo kongʼayo leye malo mondo otongʼ-go yien, to wi le nyalo bwodhore ma tongʼ ngʼatno manege, ngʼatni nyaka ring dhi e mier mag pondogi mondo ores ngimane.
And he that goeth into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron slippeth from the helve, and striketh his neighbor, that he die: this one shall flee unto one of these cities, and live;
6 Ka ok kamano to jachul kuor nyalo lawe gi mirima ma juke kakanyo ochwalore, kendo nege kata obedo ni ok owinjore gi tho, nimar notimorene ka ok en-gi paro mar timo mano.
That the avenger of the blood pursue not the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him dead; whereas he deserveth not a judgment of death, inasmuch as he was not an enemy to him in time past.
7 Ma emomiyo achikou mondo uket tenge mier adekgo ne un uwegi.
Therefore do I command thee, saying, Three cities shalt thou set apart for thyself.
8 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omedo tongʼ mar pinyu, kaka nosingore kokwongʼore ni kwereu, ni obiro miyou pinyni duto kaka nosingorenegi,
And if the Lord thy God enlarge thy boundary, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he hath spoken to give unto thy fathers;
9 kendo ka uluwo adimba chike duto ma amiyou kawuono mondo uher Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mi uwuotho e yorene ndalo duto, to nyaka umed yiero mier adek madongo kuom mago.
Because thou dost keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, and to walk in his ways all the days: then shalt thou add for thyself three cities more, unto these three;
10 Timuru ma mondo remo maonge ketho kik chwer e pinyu, ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka girkeni mondo kik ubed joketho kuom chwero remo.
That innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and blood-guiltiness be brought upon thee.
11 Ka ngʼato ok dwar wadgi mobutone kokiye kendo mi otho bangʼe oringo kodhi e mier madongo mag tonygi,
But if any man be an enemy to his neighbor, and he lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally so that he die, and he flee unto one of these cities:
12 to jodong gwengʼno nyaka ome maduoge ka gole e dala maduongʼno mondo gichiwe e lwet joma chulo kuor mondo onege.
Then shall the elders of his city send and fetch him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hand of the avenger of the blood, that he may die.
13 Kik utimne ngʼwono, kendo nyaka ugol e dier jo-Israel richo mar chwero remb ngʼat maonge ketho, eka unudhi maber.
Thy eye shall not look with pity on him; but thou shalt put away the [shedding of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
14 Ka udak e lowo mubiro yudo e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dwaro miyou mondo ukaw kaka girkeni maru, to kik ngʼato kuomu keth kiewo mane kwereu oketo e kind ngʼato gi wadgi.
Thou shalt not remove the landmark of thy neighbor, which they of old time have set, in thy inheritance which thou shalt inherit, in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it.
15 Wach janeno achiel kende ok nyal mi ngʼadne ngʼato bura kuom ketho moro kata richo moro motimo. To wach mantie e kind ji nyaka ngʼere malongʼo ka nitiere joneno ariyo kata adek.
There shall not rise up one single witness against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: upon the evidence of two witnesses, or upon the evidence of three witnesses, must a case be established.
16 Ka janeno ma ja-miriambo ochungʼ mondo odonjne ja-mahundu,
If a witness of violence rise up against any man to testify against him for any wrong:
17 to ji ariyo ma laroregi nyaka chungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka jodolo kod jongʼad bura manie tich e kindeno nitie.
Then shall both the men, who have the controversy, stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, who shall be in those days;
18 Jongʼad bura nyaka non wachno malongʼo, to ka janeno oyud ni ja-miriambo kochiwo neno maonge adier ewi owadgi,
And the judges shall inquire diligently; and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, he hath testified a falsehood against his brother:
19 to timne mana kaka ne odwa timo ne owadgi kendo nyaka ugol tim marachno e dieru.
Then shall ye do unto him, as he had purposed to do unto his brother; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
20 Ji modongʼ nowinj wachni mi nobed maluor kendo tim mamonono ok nochak otimre kendo e dieru.
And those who remain shall hear, and be afraid, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil thing in the midst of thee.
21 Kik ibed gi tim ngʼwono, to chul ngʼato ngima kar ngima, wangʼ kar wangʼ, lak kar lak, lwedo kar lwedo, kendo tielo kar tielo.
And thy eye shall have no pity; but life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
