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] shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain 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 to the cities which [are] around 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] next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer 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 to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off 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 the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried];

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 [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded 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.

Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge 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 remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.

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

When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

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

And [thou] seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy 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 off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in to 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 shalt 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 make merchandise of her, 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 shall have two wives, one beloved, and another 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, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] 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 son of the hated [for] the first-born, 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 shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not hearken to 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 to the elders of his city, and to 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 to 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 with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

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

And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt 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 in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God; ) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
