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 spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (En wuodh ndalo apar gachiel kia Horeb nyaka Kadesh Barnea kiwuok e got maluwo yo Seir.)
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to 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.
In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to 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 struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 Musa nochako puonjo weche mag chik koa yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan nyaka tongʼ Moab kowachona niya,
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
6 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nowachonwa ka en Horeb niya, “Isedak mangʼeny ahinya e godni.
“The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at 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, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in 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.”
Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”
9 E odiechiengno ne awachonu niya, “Un joma tekogi ohinga ma ok anyal tingʼo kenda.
I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo kwan maru omedore ma kawuono ungʼeny mana ka sulwe manie kor polo.
The LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11 Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu mi unyaa moromo alufu gi alufu kendo enogwedhu mana kaka nosingore.
May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 To ere kaka anyalo tingʼo chandruoku, tingʼ magu mapek kod dondruokgo kenda awuon.
How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?
13 Yier jomariek man-gi winjo kod joma nigi luor mowuok e dhoudi duto kendo naketgi jotendu.”
Take wise men of understanding who are respected amongst your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
14 Ne udwoka niya, “Gima iparo mar timono nikare.”
You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.”
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 the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to 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.
I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
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.
You shall not show partiality in judgement; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgement is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”
18 Kendo kanyo ema ne anyisue gik moko duto mane onego utim.
I commanded you at that time all the things which you 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.
We travelled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Usechopo e pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa.
I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God gives to 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.”
Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD the God of your fathers has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, 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.”
You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”
23 Parono ne aneno kaber omiyo ne ayiero ji apar gariyo kuomu ka ngʼato ka ngʼato oa e dhoodgi.
The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe.
24 Ne giwuok ka gidhi e pinje mag gode ma gichopo e Holo mar Eshkol mondo ginon kaka pinyno obet.
They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 Negikawo gik monyak e pinyno, mi gikelonwa, kagiwacho niya, “En piny maber ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa biro miyowa.”
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which the LORD our God gives to us.”
26 Ne ok giyie dhi e pinyno, kendo ne gingʼanyo mi gidagi winjo chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD 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.
You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us 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.”
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
29 Eka ne awachonu niya, “Kik ubwogi, kik uluorgi
Then I said to you, “Don’t be terrified. Don’t 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.
The LORD your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for 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.”
and in the wilderness where you have seen how that the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
32 Ei magi duto ne ok uketo genou kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
Yet in this thing you didn’t believe the LORD 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 went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Kane Jehova Nyasaye owinjo gima ne uwacho, mirima nomake mi okwongʼore niya,
The LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 “Onge ngʼama nitiere e tiengʼ mobamni manone piny maberni mane asingora ni nami kweregi,
“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to 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.”
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.”
37 Nikech un, Jehova Nyasaye ne okecho koda mi owachona niya, “Ok inidonji e pinyno.”
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
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 the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, 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.
Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.
40 To un chakuru wuoth kudok chien e thim kuchomo Nam Makwar.
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to 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 you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
42 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, Kwergi ni kik gidhi gikedi nimar ok anabed kodgi. Ibiro lowu gi wasiku.
The LORD said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up and don’t fight; for I am not amongst you, lest you be struck 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 spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into 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.
The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Ne udwogo ma uywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ne ok ochiko ite ne ywaku kendo ne ok owinjo kwayou.
You returned and wept before the LORD, but the LORD didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
46 Omiyo ne udak Kadesh kuom kinde mangʼeny, adier kuom kinde mangʼeny ne udak kuno.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
