Rapar Mar Chik 19
1 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembo kendo otieko ogendini ma omiyou pinygi ma udakie,
'When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded them, and dwelt 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.
three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to 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 dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into three parts the border of thy land which Jehovah thy God doth cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither of every man-slayer.
4 Ma e chik moketi ne ngʼama onego wadgi kobothne kendo ok ongʼeyo mi oringo odhi kanyo mondo ores ngimane.
'And this [is] the matter of the man-slayer who fleeth thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore,
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.
even he who cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his neighbour, and he hath died — he doth flee unto one of these cities, and hath lived,
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.
lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him — the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;
7 Ma emomiyo achikou mondo uket tenge mier adekgo ne un uwegi.
therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Three cities thou dost separate to thee.
8 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omedo tongʼ mar pinyu, kaka nosingore kokwongʼore ni kwereu, ni obiro miyou pinyni duto kaka nosingorenegi,
'And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to 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.
when thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in His ways all the days — then thou hast added to thee yet three cities to 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.
and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.
11 Ka ngʼato ok dwar wadgi mobutone kokiye kendo mi otho bangʼe oringo kodhi e mier madongo mag tonygi,
'And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him — the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled 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 the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;
13 Kik utimne ngʼwono, kendo nyaka ugol e dier jo-Israel richo mar chwero remb ngʼat maonge ketho, eka unudhi maber.
thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is 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 dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which thou dost inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to 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.
'One witness doth not rise against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, is a thing established.
16 Ka janeno ma ja-miriambo ochungʼ mondo odonjne ja-mahundu,
'When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostasy,
17 to ji ariyo ma laroregi nyaka chungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka jodolo kod jongʼad bura manie tich e kindeno nitie.
then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are 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 have searched diligently, and lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:
19 to timne mana kaka ne odwa timo ne owadgi kendo nyaka ugol tim marachno e dieru.
'Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,
20 Ji modongʼ nowinj wachni mi nobed maluor kendo tim mamonono ok nochak otimre kendo e dieru.
and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;
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 thine eye doth not pity — life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
