Rapar Mar Chik 21

1 Ka ngʼato onegi moyud ka oriere piny e pap kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou mondo ukaw kendo ok ongʼere malongʼo ngʼama onege,

If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath smitten him;

2 to jodongu gi jongʼad bura nodhi mondo opim gi tol chakre kama ringre ngʼatno nitie nyaka e mier machiegni kode.

then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:

3 Eka jodongo manie dala machiegni kod ringre ngʼatno nokaw nyaroya mapok otiyo, kata mapok otwe e jok,

and it shall be, that the city which is nearest unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;

4 kendo gilor kode e holo kama pok opur kata pidhoe cham, kochomo aora ma pi molie, kendo kanyo ema mondo giture ngʼute.

and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

5 Jodolo, ma yawuot joka Lawi nochungʼ nyime, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseyierogi mondo gitine kendo mondo gichiw gweth e nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gingʼad buche mar larruok kod mag nek.

And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.

6 Eka jodongo duto manie dala machiegni gi kama ringruokno nitie noluok lwetgi e nyaroyano ma ngʼute otur e holo,

And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

7 kendo giniwach niya, “Lwetwa ne ok osechwero remoni kata wangʼwa ne ok oneno ka otimore.

and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

8 Yie iwinj pwodhruok ma jogi Israel ma isereso yaye Jehova Nyasaye kendo kik ikaw jogi kaka joketho mochwero remo maonge ketho.” Kamano ginipwodhre kuom richo mar chwero remono.

Forgive, O Jehovah, thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood [to remain] in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

9 Mano e kaka ubiro golo kuomu tim marach mar chwero remo maonge ketho, nikech usetimo gima kare e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.

So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

10 Ka udhi kedo gi wasigu kendo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochiwogi e lwetu ma umakogi ka wasumbini magu,

When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou carriest them away captive,

11 kendo ka ineno dhako moro ma jaber e kind mon momaki, ma idwaro kendo to inyalo kawe obed chiegi.

and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife;

12 Kel dhakono e odi, bangʼe liel wiye kendo ingʼad kokene,

then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 bende igol lepe mane omakego. Bangʼ ka osedak e odi kuom dwe achiel koywago wuon gi min, eka idhi ire mondo ibed chwore kendo en bende obed chiegi.

and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

14 Ka ok imor kode, to iweye odhi kamoro amora ma ohero. Ok onego iuse kata kete jatichni, nimar isemiye wichkuot.

And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her.

15 Ka ngʼato nigi mon ariyo, kendo ohero moro maloyo machielo mi giduto ginywolone yawuowi, to wuowi mokwong nywol en wuod dhako ma ok ohero,

If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated;

16 ka ondiko mwandune ne yawuote kik okaw ratiro mar wuowi makayo omi wuod dhako moherono.

then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born:

17 Nyaka one ni ochiwone wuowi maduongʼ ma wuod dhako ma ok oherocha pok nyadiriyo mar gige duto. Wuowino en e ranyisi mokwongo mar tekre wuon. Ratiro mar wuowi makayo en mare.

but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his.

18 Ka ngʼato nigi wuowi ma jendeke ma ok winj wuon kod min kendo ok owinjgi ka okume,

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;

19 wuon gi min nyaka kawe mitere ir jodongo e ranga dalagi.

then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 Giniwach ne jodongo niya, “Wuodwani wiye tek kendo ja-jendeke, ok owinjwa, en janjore kendo jakongʼo.”

and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 Eka ji duto modak e gwengʼno nogoye gi kite motho. Nyaka ugol tim marachni e dieru kendo jo-Israel duto kowinjo wachno nobed maluor.

And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

22 Ka ngʼato motimo tim mamono onegi mi ringre ongʼaw e yien,

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree;

23 to kik uwe ringre dongʼ koliero ma piny ru. Une ni uike mana chiengʼno nikech ngʼato angʼata ma olier e yath en ngʼama Nyasaye okwongʼo. Kik udwany piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka girkeni.

his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
