Rapar Mar Chik 32
1 Chikuru itu kawuoyo, yaye polo; to in piny winj weche mawuok e dhoga.
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 We puonjna ochwe ka koth kendo wechena olor ka thoo, kendo a ngʼidho machwer e lum manyien mana ka koth mangʼeny ne yien matindo.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Abiro lando nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo abiro pako duongʼ mar Nyasachwa!
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 En Lwanda, tijene ler kendo yorene duto nikare; Nyasaye ma ok tim marach, ngʼat modimbore kendo makare.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Ogandani en tiengʼ makoch kendo mobam, ma timbegi maricho nyiso, ni koro ok gin mag Nyasaye.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 Bende ma e yo ma ugoyonego Jehova Nyasaye erokamano, yaye joma ofuwo kendo maonge riekogi? Donge en wuonu mane ochweyou mi olosou?
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Paruru ndalo mosekadho, parane weche mag tiengʼ mokadho. Penjuru wuonu, to obiro nyisou, bende penjuru jodongo, to gibiro leronu.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 E kinde ma Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo nomiyo ogendini girkeni mag-gi, kendo kane opogo ogendinigo duto kuondegi mag dak, noketonegi tongʼ pinygi kaluwore gi kar romb kwan nyithind Israel.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Nimar joka Jakobo en pok Jehova Nyasaye owuon kendo mwandune.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Noyudo joka Jakobo kama otimo ongoro, ma en kama otwo kendo mojwangʼ. Nochielogi koni gi koni moritogi maber, mana ka ngʼama ochielo tong wangʼe,
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 mano bende e kaka ongo yiengo ode mondo nyithinde owuogi, koyaro bwombene mondo okawgi kendo otingʼ-gi.
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 Jehova Nyasaye kende ema ne otelonegi; kaonge nyiseche mag pinje mamoko mane ni kodgi.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Nomiyo giringo e kor gode manie piny kendo nomiyogi chiemo kod olembe manie puothe. Ne opidhogi mor kich mawuok e lwanda kod modhi mogol e lwanda.
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 Bende negiyudo mo moleny gi chak mag dhok kod mar nyirombe kod diek, kod imbe machwe mowuok Bashan kod mo mar cha ngano. Ne gimadho divai mochiek maber mar mzabibu.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 Jeshurun ne odongo mobedo machwe; ne oyudo chiemo morome mi obedo machwe. Wiye nowil gi Nyasache mane ochweye, ma oweyo lwanda ma en warruok mare.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Negimiyo nyiego omake gi nyisechegigo, kendo iye nowangʼ-gi timbegi mamono mag lamo nyiseche manono.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Negitimo misango ne jochiende ma ok gin Nyasaye, ma gin nyiseche mane ok gingʼeyo; nyiseche mana mosieko, kendo nyiseche ma kwereu ne ok oluoro.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Ne ujwangʼo lwanda ma en wuonu, kendo wiu nowil gi Nyasaye mane ochweyou.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Jehova Nyasaye ne oneno ma mi oweyogi nikech iye nowangʼ gi yawuote kod nyige.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 Nowacho niya, “Abiro pandonegi wangʼa” mondo aneye kaka gikogi nobedi, nimar gin tiengʼ mobaro, nyithindo ma ok jo-adieri,
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 negimiyo nyiego omaka gi gima ok Nyasaye kendo gichwanya kod kido milamo manono. Anami nyiego makgi gi joma ok onego kwan ka ji; anami mirima makgi gi piny maonge winjo.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Mach osemoki gi mirimba, en mach mawangʼo nyaka kuonde joma otho e bwo lowo. Obiro ketho piny kod nyakne duto kendo ka omoko mach nyaka e konde mag gode. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Abiro medo masiche mangʼeny kuomu, kendo anaked kodgi gi aserni.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Abiro oro kech malit e diergi, gi kute machamo piny kod masira, gi ondiegi mangemo mag bungu gi thuonde man-gi kwiri mager mamol e lowo.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Kihondko kod kibaji nogogi e miechgi; to liganglana notiek nyithindgi e yore. Yawuowi gi nyiri biro tho, kaachiel gi nyithindo ma pod yom kod jodongo moti.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Ne awacho ni abiro keyogi kendo nying-gi ok nopar e kind ogendini,
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 to ne alingʼ kane awinjo weche mag jasigu mondo jongʼadne rieko kik ngʼe gima aparo, mi giwach niya, “Lwetwa ema oseloyo, Jehova Nyasaye ok osetimo gimoro.”
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Gin oganda maonge rieko, kendo gionge paro mar fwenyo gimoro.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Ka dine bed ni giriek dine gingʼeyo tiend gik matimore ma gifwenyo kaka giko margi biro bet.
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Ere kaka ngʼato achiel nyalo riembo ji alufu achiel, kata ji ariyo miyo ji alufu apar ringi, makmana ka ok Jehova Nyasaye ma Lwandagi ema oweyogi mi oketogi e lwet wasikgi.
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Nimar lwanda margi ok en Lwandawa mana kaka jasikwa osewacho.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Mzabibu margi wuok e mzabibu ma Sodom kendo wuok e puothe mag Gomora. Olembegi opongʼ gi kwiri kendo olembegi kech.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Divai margi en kwiri mar thuonde, kwiri mager mar thuond rachier.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Donge asekano wachni kendo aume e mirimba?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 An ema nachul kuor, abiro chulo. Machiegnini tiendgi biro kier, odiechieng-gi mar masira osekayo machiegni kendo kethruok ochomogi.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Jehova Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura ne joge kendo nobed gi kech ne jotichne koneno, ka tekogi orumo kendo onge manodongʼ obed misumba kata ngʼa man thuolo.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 Enowach niya, “Nyisecheugo nikanye, lwanda mane udwaro yudo resruok kuome,
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 ma gin nyiseche mane ochamo gik machwe mag misengini mi omadho divai mag misengini michiwo? Koro giwuogi mondo gikonyi, kendo gimiyi kar resruok!
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 “Ngʼeuru malongʼo ni An e Nyasaye kendo onge nyasaye machielo makmana An. An ema anego ji kendo An ema achiwo ngima, bende An ema ahinyo kendo achango. Omiyo onge ngʼama nyalo reso ngʼato e lweta.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Atingʼo bada malo kawacho niya, Akwongʼora ni kapod angima,
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 kendo ka asepiago liganglana mamil, to anakum jogo mochaya, kendo ka asechako ngʼado bura to anachul kuor ne wasika.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Abiro miyo asere maga tim remo ka liganglana powo dendgi; ma en remb joma onegi kod joma ni e twech, ma gin jotend wasikgi.”
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Un pinje, beduru mamor gi jogi, nimar obiro chulo kuor kuom remb jotichne; obiro chulo kuor ne wasike kendo nopwodh pinye kod joge.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 Musa nobiro gi Joshua wuod Nun kendo nosomo weche mag wendni ka ji winjo.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 Kane Musa osetieko somo weche mag wendni ne jo-Israel,
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 nowachonegi niya, “Rituru wechegi ma asomonu kawuononi mondo chiengʼ moro upuonj nyithindu mondo oluw adimba wechegi duto manie chike.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Wechegi ok gin weche manono to gin e ngimau. Kurito wechegi to gibiro miyo udag amingʼa e piny mubiro kawo ka usengʼado aora Jordan.”
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa niya,
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 “Idh Got mar Nebo ma en achiel kuom gode mag Abarim manie piny Moab, yo Jeriko kendo ine piny Kanaan, ma en piny mabiro miyo jo-Israel kar girkeni margi.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 Ewi got malo kuma idhiyoeno ema inithoe, mi iki gi ogandau, mana kaka owadu Harun notho e got Hor mi oike gi kwerene.
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Ma notimore nikech un ji ariyogi ne uweya e nyim jo-Israel kar pi mar Meriba Kadesh man e piny ongoro mar Zin kendo nikech ne ok urito nyinga maler e kind jo-Israel.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Kuom mano, inine mana pinyno gi kuma bor ok inidonjie e piny ma amiyo jo-Israel.”
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
