Rapar Mar Chik 9
1 Yaye Israel, winjuru, uchiegni ngʼado Jordan ka udhi riembo oganda maduongʼ kendo maroteke moloyou, man-gi mier madongo ma ohingagi chopo nyaka e kor polo.
“You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon [HYP] cross the Jordan [River]. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls [around them] that [seem to] [HYP] extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
2 Jo-Anak gin joma roteke kendo roboche! Usewinjo kiwuoyo kuomgi kiwacho niya, “Ere joma dichungʼ e nyim jo-Anak?”
Those people are very tall and strong. [Some of them] are giants who are descendants of Anak. You know about them, and you have heard people say that no one [RHQ] can defeat the descendants of Anak.
3 To beduru gigeno kawuono ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema dhi telo nyimu mana ka mach mawengʼo. Obiro tiekogi kendo obiro nyonogi mana ka uneno, kendo unuriembgi mi girum chutho mapiyo nono mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.
But I want you to know that Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will be like a raging/roaring fire. While you advance, he will defeat and destroy them. As a result, you will quickly be able to expel some of them and kill the others, which is what Yahweh promised that you would do.
4 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembogi oko e wangʼu ka uneno, to kik uwach e chunyu niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osekelowa ka mondo wakaw pinyni nikech timwa makare.” Ooyo en mana nikech timbe maricho mag ogendinigo emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye dhi riembogi ka uneno.
“After Yahweh our God has expelled them for you, do not say to yourselves, ‘It is because we are righteous that Yahweh has enabled us to capture this land.’ The truth is that it is because the people in that land are wicked that Yahweh will expel them as you advance.
5 Ok nikech timu mabeyo kata lony maru emomiyo udhi kawo pinyno mondo obed maru; to mana nikech timbe maricho mag ogandagi ema miyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro riembogi oko e wangʼu mondo ochop gima nowachone kwereu ma Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo.
[I say again that] it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.
6 Ngʼeuru ni ok en nikech timu makare emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou piny maberni mondo ukaw, nimar kadier to un joma tokgi tek.
I want you to know that it is not because you are righteous that Yahweh our God is giving you this good/fertile land. I say that because [you are not righteous]; you are a very stubborn [IDM] people.”
7 Paruru wachni kendo kik wiu wil kaka ne ujimbo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye e thim. Kochakore chiengʼ mane uwuok Misri ma uchopo ka, usebedo mana ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
“Never forget what your ancestors did in the desert that caused Yahweh our God to become angry. From the day that we left Egypt until the day that we arrived here, you and your ancestors have continually rebelled against him.
8 Kane un Horeb ne ujimbo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mane iye owangʼ modwaro tiekou.
Even at Sinai [Mountain] your ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry. Because he was very angry, he was ready to get rid of [all of] them.
9 Kane adhi e got mondo akaw chike mane ondiki e kite mopa, chike mag singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye otimo kodu, ne abet e got odiechienge piero angʼwen kod otieno piero angʼwen; kendo ne ok achiemo kata modho pi.
When I climbed the mountain to receive from him the stone tablets on which he had written the Ten Commandments that he was giving to them, I stayed there 40 days and nights, and [during that time] I did not eat or drink anything.
10 Jehova Nyasaye ne omiya kite ariyo ma ondiki gi lwet Nyasaye. Kuomgi ne ondiki e chike duto mane Jehova Nyasaye owachonu koa e mach mawuok e got, e odiechieng chokruok.
Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets on which he had written [the commandments] with his own fingers. They were the words/commandments that he had spoken to your ancestors from the fire on that mountain, when they were gathered together [at the bottom of the mountain].
11 Kane odichienge piero angʼwen kod otieno piero angʼwen oserumo, Jehova Nyasaye nomiya kite mopa ariyo, ma gin kite mag singruok.
“At the end of those 40 days and nights, Yahweh gave me those two stone tablets on which he had written those commandments.
12 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Lor piny piyo piyo ia e got, nikech jogi mane igolo oa e piny Misri oselokore jo-mibadhi. Giseweyo mapiyo gik mane achikogi, kendo giseloso nyiseche mag kido.”
But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because [the people whom you are leading], the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue [of a calf to worship].’
13 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya, “Aseneno jogi, kendo gin joma tokgi tek adier!
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘I have been watching these people, and I see that they are very stubborn.
14 We mondo atiekgi duto mondo agol nying-gi oko e wangʼ piny kae. Abiro miyo idok oganda maratego kendo mangʼeny moloyogi.”
So do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy all of them, with the result that no one anywhere will remember (their names [MTY]/that they ever existed). Then I will enable you to become [the ancestor of] a nation that will be more numerous and more powerful than they are.’
15 Omiyo nalokora kendo alor kaa e got mane oyudo wangʼ. Kite mopa ariyo motingʼo winjruok ne nitie e lweta.
So I turned and went down the mountain, carrying in my hands the two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were [written]. Fire was burning all over the mountain.
16 Kane angʼiyo ne aneno ni usetimo ketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; kendo useloso nyasaye mar kido ma olos ka nyaroya. Uselokoru piyo ma uweyo yo ma Jehova Nyasaye ne ochikou.
I looked, and I was shocked to see that your ancestors had committed a [great] sin against Yahweh. They very quickly had begun to do what Yahweh our God had commanded them not to do. They had [requested Aaron to] make for them [a metal image of] a calf [to worship].
17 Omiyo ne akawo kite mopa mane ni e lweta mi adiro piny ma gitore matindo tindo e nyimu.
So while they were watching, I lifted up those two stone tablets and threw them [on the ground], and they broke into pieces.
18 Eka ne achako ariera piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kuom ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno; ne ok achiemo kata modho pi, nikech richo duto mane utimo, ka utimo gik mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ka ujimbo mirimbe.
Then I (prostrated myself/lay) on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.
19 Ne aluoro mirima kod kum mager mar Jehova Nyasaye, nimar mirima nomake ahinya mar tiekou. To kata kamano nowinjo ywakna kendo.
I was afraid/worried that because Yahweh was very angry with them, he would get rid of all of them. [But again I prayed that he would not do that], and again he listened to me [and answered my prayer].
20 Jehova Nyasaye ne iye owangʼ gi Harun mi odwaro tieke, to e kindeno ne alemone Harun bende.
Yahweh was also very angry with Aaron [for making that golden calf] and was ready to kill Aaron. But at the same time I prayed for Aaron also, [and Yahweh answered my prayer].
21 Bende ne akawo giru mar kethono, ma en kido mar nyaroya mane uloso, mine awangʼe e mach. Bangʼe ne atoye matindo tindo narege mayom kaka mogo, eka ne akire e aora mamol koa e got.
Your ancestors had sinned by [requesting Aaron to] make [a metal statue of] a calf. So I took that statue and [I melted it] in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces [HYP]. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
22 Bende ne umiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima ka un Tabera, Masa, kod Kibroth Hatava.
Your ancestors also caused Yahweh to become very angry [by what they did] at [places which they named] Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.
23 Kendo kane Jehova Nyasaye ogolou Kadesh Barnea nowacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo ukaw piny ma asemiyou.” To ne ungʼanyo ne chike mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ne ok ugeno kuome kata miye luor.
And when we were at Kadesh-Barnea, Yahweh said to your ancestors, ‘Go up and capture the land that I am about to give to you!’ But they rebelled against him. They did not trust him, and they did not obey what he told [MTY] them to do.
24 Usebedo ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto ma asengʼeyoue.
Your ancestors rebelled against Yahweh from the first day that I knew them, [in Egypt].
25 Ne ariera piny ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno nikech Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni obiro tiekou.
So, [as I said], I lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence for 40 days and nights, because Yahweh had said that he would get rid of your ancestors.
26 Ne alamo Jehova Nyasaye kawacho niya, “Yaye Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, kik itiek jogigi, ma gin girkeni mari iwuon mane ireso gi badi maratego e piny Misri.
And I prayed to Yahweh, saying, ‘Lord God, these people belong to you; do not destroy them. They are people whom you rescued and brought out of Egypt by your very great power. [DOU, MTY]
27 Par jotichni ma gin Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kendo kik ine wich teko margi, timbegi maricho kod richo mag-gi
Do not forget [what you promised to] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please ignore these stubborn and wicked people and the sin that they have committed.
28 Ka ok kamano to piny mane igolowa biro wacho ni, ‘Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal kawogi matergi e piny mane osesingonegi kendo nikech ne ok oherogi, to Jehova Nyasaye osetero joge e thim mondo otho kuno nikech osin kodgi.’
If you do not do that, [and if you get rid of them], the people of Egypt will [hear about it and] say that you were not able to bring them into the land that you promised to give to them. They will say that you took them into the desert only to kill them there because you hated them.
29 To ngʼe ni gin jogi owuon kendo ma girkeni mari mane igolo gi tekoni maduongʼ kod bat morie.”
[Do not forget that] they are your people. [You chose them to] belong to you. You brought them out [from Egypt] by your very great power [DOU, MTY].’”
