Rapar Mar Chik 25
1 Ka ji ariyo larore e wach moro, to nyaka giter wachno e od ngʼado bura kendo jongʼad bura nongʼadnegi bura kare, ka giweyo ngʼat makare thuolo to ngʼat man giketho ikumo.
“If there is a case between persons, and they apply to the judges, they shall give the palm of justice to the one whom they perceive to be just, and they shall condemn of impiety the one who is impious.
2 Ka ngʼat moyud giketho onego chwadi, to jangʼad bura nowachne mondo onind piny ochwade maromre gi kethoneno,
But if they see that the one who has sinned is worthy of stripes, they shall prostrate him and cause him to be beaten before them. According to the measure of the sin, so shall the measure of the stripes be.
3 to ok onego chwade del moloyo piero angʼwen. Ka ochwade moloyo mano, to wadu diyud wichkuot e wangʼe.
Even so, these shall not exceed the number of forty. Otherwise, your brother may depart, having been wounded shamefully before your eyes.
4 Kik utwe dho dhiangʼ kaywayo lodi ma idinogo cham.
You shall not muzzle an ox as it is treading out your crops in the field.
5 Ka owete odak kanyakla kae to moro otho kaonge wuowi, to ngʼat moro nono ma ok ja-dalano ok onego kend chiegeno. Owadgi chwore hie ema mondo okawe okende mondo otimne gik moko duto ma yuoro onego otimne chi owadgi.
When brothers are living together, and one of them dies without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry another. Instead, his brother shall take her, and he shall raise up offspring for his brother.
6 Nyathi ma wuowi mokwong nywolo ema notingʼ kar nying wuon mare mane otho mondo kik nyinge lal nono e dier oganda jo-Israel.
And the first son from her, he shall call by his brother’s name, so that his name will not be abolished from Israel.
7 To ka ngʼato ok dwar kendo chi owadgi ma chwore othono, to dhakono mondo odhi ir jodongo e dhoranga dala kendo owach niya, “Owadgi chwora odagi ok onyal tingʼo kar owadgi ei Israel, odagi timona gima yuoro onego timne chi owadgi.”
But if he is not willing to take his brother’s wife, who by law must go to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and she shall call upon those greater by birth, and she shall say: ‘The brother of my husband is not willing to raise up his brother’s name in Israel; nor will he join with me.’
8 Eka jodong dala noluong ngʼatno mondo owuo kode. To kapod odagi kowacho niya, “Ok adwar kende,”
And immediately, they shall summon him to be sent, and they shall question him. If he responds, ‘I am not willing to accept her as a wife,’
9 chi owadgino nodhi ire e nyim jodongo mi olony wuochene achiel e tiende kendo ongʼudh olawo e wangʼe kowachone niya, “Ma e gima itimo ne ngʼat modagi rito dala owadgi mondo ochungi.”
then the woman shall approach him in the sight of the elders, and she shall remove his shoe from his foot, and she shall spit in his face, and she shall say: ‘So shall it be done to the man who was not willing to build up his brother’s house.’
10 Ngʼatno kothgi nongʼere e Israel kaka koth joma ne olony wuochegi.
And his name shall be called in Israel: The House of the Unshod.
11 Ka ji ariyo dhawo kae to chi ngʼat achiel kuomgi obiro konyo chwore, mi omake gi duongʼne,
If two men have a conflict between themselves, and one begins to do violence to the other, and if the other’s wife, wanting to rescue her husband from the hand of the stronger one, extends her hand and grasps him by his private parts,
12 to dhakono nyaka ngʼad lwete, kendo kik timne ngʼwono.
then you shall cut off her hand. Neither shall you weep over her with any mercy.
13 Kik ubed gi rapim ariyo e okapu magu mamoro pek to moro yot.
You shall not have differing weights, greater and lesser, in your bag.
14 Bende kik ubed gi rapim ariyo e uteu mag pimo, ma moro duongʼ to moro tin.
Neither shall there be in your house a greater and a lesser measure.
15 Nyaka ubed gi gige pimo mowinjore kendo makare mondo udagi amingʼa e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou.
You shall have a just and a true weight, and your measure shall be equal and true, so that you may live for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
16 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mon gi joma timo gik ma kamago; ngʼat matimo gi mibadhi.
For the Lord your God abominates him who does these things, and he loathes all injustice.
17 Paruru gima ne jo-Amalek otimonu kane uwuok Misri.
Remember what Amalek did to you, along the way, when you were departing from Egypt:
18 Kane uol kendo tekou norumo, negimonjou e yo ma ginego joma ne wuoth oolo; kendo ne ok giluoro Nyasaye.
how he met you and cut down the stragglers of the troops, who were sitting down, exhausted, when you were consumed by hunger and hardship, and how he did not fear God.
19 Emomiyo ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyou kwe e piny mobiro miyou mondo ukaw kaka girkeni, to kik wiu wil ma ok utieko jo-Amalek duto.
Therefore, when the Lord your God will give you rest, and you will have subdued all the surrounding nations, in the land which he has promised to you, you shall delete his name from under heaven. Take care not to forget this.”
