Rapar Mar Chik 1

1 Magi e weche mane Musa owacho ne jo-Israel duto e piny motwo man wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, mano man Araba mochomore gi Suf e kind Paran kod Tofel; Laban, Hazeroth kod Dizahab.

These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, —in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

2 (En wuodh ndalo apar gachiel kia Horeb nyaka Kadesh Barnea kiwuok e got maluwo yo Seir.)

eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir, as far as Kadesh-barnea.

3 E higa mar piero angʼwen e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar apar gachiel, Musa ne owacho ne jo-Israel gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochike mondo owachnegi.

And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;

4 Ma ne bangʼ kane oseloyo Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane ruodh Heshbon kendo noloyo Og ruodh Bashan, ma bende nosebedo gi loch e piny Edrei gi Ashtaroth.

after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:

5 Musa nochako puonjo weche mag chik koa yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan nyaka tongʼ Moab kowachona niya,

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: —

6 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nowachonwa ka en Horeb niya, “Isedak mangʼeny ahinya e godni.

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:

7 Wuogi e kambi kendo iwuoth kichomo bungu man e gode mag jo-Amor, dhi e miech ji duto mokiewo gi Araba, jogo modak e gode, jogo modak e tie gode man yo podho chiengʼ, jogo modak Negev kod mago modak e dho nam, kaachiel gi jogo modak e piny Kanaan kod Lebanon, nyaka chop e aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.

Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, —the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 Ne, asemiyoi pinyni. Dhiuru kendo ukaw piny mane Jehova Nyasaye ne okwongʼore ni nomi Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kaachiel gi nyikwagi.”

See! I have set before you the land, —enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

9 E odiechiengno ne awachonu niya, “Un joma tekogi ohinga ma ok anyal tingʼo kenda.

So I spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.

10 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo kwan maru omedore ma kawuono ungʼeny mana ka sulwe manie kor polo.

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

11 Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu mi unyaa moromo alufu gi alufu kendo enogwedhu mana kaka nosingore.

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, —and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

12 To ere kaka anyalo tingʼo chandruoku, tingʼ magu mapek kod dondruokgo kenda awuon.

How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?

13 Yier jomariek man-gi winjo kod joma nigi luor mowuok e dhoudi duto kendo naketgi jotendu.”

Set forth for you—men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, —that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

14 Ne udwoka niya, “Gima iparo mar timono nikare.”

And ye answered me, —and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

15 Omiyo nakawo joma otelo ne dhoutu, ma gin joma riek momi luor kendo naketogi mondo gibed loch kuomu kaka jotend oganda. Moko kuomgi naketo jotend ji alufu alufu, to moko jotend mia mia, to moko jotend ji piero abich abich, bangʼe moko jotend ji apar apar kendo moko naketo jotelo mopogore opogore e dhoutgi duto.

So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.

16 E kindeno nachiko jongʼad bura mau niya, Winjuru weche manie kind oweteu kendo ungʼad bura kare poni nitie bura e kind jo-Israel kendgi kata e kind ja-Israel kod japiny moro.

And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, —Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother and his sojourner.

17 Kik udew wangʼ ka ungʼado bura, winj ngʼat matin kod maduongʼ mana machal. Kik uluor wangʼ ngʼato nimar bura makare en mar Nyasaye. Kelnauru bura moro amora matek ma ok unyal kendo abiro winjo.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment—so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, —but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

18 Kendo kanyo ema ne anyisue gik moko duto mane onego utim.

So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

19 Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nochikowa, ne wachako wuoth ka wawuok Horeb kendo ne wachomo pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor, kwakalo e dier bungu malich ma useneno kendo ne wachopo Kadesh Barnea.

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, —and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

20 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Usechopo e pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa.

Then said I unto you, —Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

21 To ne, Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu osemiyou piny. Dhiuru mondo ukawe mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu nowacho niya. Kik ubed maluor, chunyu bende kik nyosre.”

See thou—Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, —go up—take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

22 Eka un duto nubiro ira muwachna niya, “Waor jomoko nyimwa mondo odhi onon-nwa piny kendo odwoknwa wach e yo ma onego walu gi dala ma wabiro chopoe.”

And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, —and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

23 Parono ne aneno kaber omiyo ne ayiero ji apar gariyo kuomu ka ngʼato ka ngʼato oa e dhoodgi.

And the thing, was good in mine eyes, —so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.

24 Ne giwuok ka gidhi e pinje mag gode ma gichopo e Holo mar Eshkol mondo ginon kaka pinyno obet.

And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.

25 Negikawo gik monyak e pinyno, mi gikelonwa, kagiwacho niya, “En piny maber ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa biro miyowa.”

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

26 Ne ok giyie dhi e pinyno, kendo ne gingʼanyo mi gidagi winjo chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.

Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your God;

27 Ne ungʼur e hembeu ka uwacho niya, Jehova Nyasaye ok dwarwa, omiyo nogolowa e piny Misri mondo ochiw-wa e lwet jo-Amor mondo otiekwa.

and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, —to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

28 Ere kuma wanyalo dhiyoe? Owetewa osechido chunywa, ka giwachonwa niya, “Jogo tek kendo boyo moloyowa, mier madongo lach kendo nigi ohinga, bende ne waneno jo-Anak.”

Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying—A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, —yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.

29 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Kik ubwogi, kik uluorgi

Then I said unto you, —Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:

30 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ma otelo e nyimu, biro kedonu mana kaka ne okedonu e piny Misri kod e thim ka uneno gi wengeu uwegi.

Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, —according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;

31 Kuno bende ne uneno kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu okawo tingʼu mana kaka wuoro kawo tingʼ wuode, kotelonu e wuodhu duto nyaka uchopo ka.”

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

32 Ei magi duto ne ok uketo genou kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,

But in this thing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God;

33 mane otelo nyimu e wuodhu, gotieno notelonu gi mach to godiechiengʼ notelonu gi rumbi mondo umany kuonde monego ubworie kendo onyisu yo monego uluw.

who was going before you in the way—to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, —in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.

34 Kane Jehova Nyasaye owinjo gima ne uwacho, mirima nomake mi okwongʼore niya,

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, —and was wroth and sware—saying:

35 “Onge ngʼama nitiere e tiengʼ mobamni manone piny maberni mane asingora ni nami kweregi,

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, —shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:

36 makmana Kaleb wuod Jefune. En ema none pinyno kendo anamiyego kaachiel gi nyikwaye kamoro amora ma tiende nonyon nikech osebedo koluwo Jehova Nyasaye gi chunye duto.”

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, —because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

37 Nikech un, Jehova Nyasaye ne okecho koda mi owachona niya, “Ok inidonji e pinyno.”

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, —Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

38 To jalupni ma en Joshua wuod Nun ema nodonji e pinyno. Omiyo jiwe nikech en ema notelne jo-Israel duto ka kawo pinyno.

Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither, him, strengthen thou, for he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 To jomatindo mane uwacho ni biro ter e twech, ma gin nyithindo ma ok ongʼeyo pogo ber kod rach, gin ema ginidonji e pinyno. Anamigi pinyno kendo ginikawe mi gidagie.

And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, —and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.

40 To un chakuru wuoth kudok chien e thim kuchomo Nam Makwar.

But as for you, turn ye, for your part, —and set forward towards the desert, by way of the Red Sea.

41 Eka ne udwoko niya, “Wasetimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Wabiro aa malo kendo kedo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa ochikowa.” Omiyo ji duto norwako gige lweny ka giparo ni en gima yot monjo piny godeno.

Then responded ye and said unto me—We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.

42 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, Kwergi ni kik gidhi gikedi nimar ok anabed kodgi. Ibiro lowu gi wasiku.

Then said Yahweh unto me—Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, —lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.

43 Ne awachonu kamano to ne ok unyal winjo. Ne ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mi ok uluwo chikene, kendo gi wich teko maru ne uwuotho ka udhi e piny mar gode.

So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.

44 Jo-Amor mane odak e pinje godego ne omonjou, mi gilawou ka kich ma ogodak kagi goyou chakre Seir nyaka Horma.

Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.

45 Ne udwogo ma uywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ne ok ochiko ite ne ywaku kendo ne ok owinjo kwayou.

So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, —but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.

46 Omiyo ne udak Kadesh kuom kinde mangʼeny, adier kuom kinde mangʼeny ne udak kuno.

And ye abode in Kadesh many days, —how many were the days that ye abode [there]!
