Wuok 23
1 “Kik iland wach ma ok adiera. Kik ikony ngʼat marach kidoko janeno mar miriambo.
Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
2 “Kik itim gima rach nikech ji mangʼeny time. Ka in janeno e bura, to kik iketh bura mana nikech idwaro chwako koma ji ngʼenyie,
Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
3 kendo kik ichwak ngʼato e bura nikech odhier.
But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
4 “Ka irodhno gi rwadh jasiki kata pundane ka bayo abaya molal, nyaka idwoke ne wuon-gi.
If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.
5 Ka ineno punda jasiki ka lodi motingʼo ogoye piny, to kik iweye kanyo; nyaka ine ni ikonye.
If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
6 “Kik iketh buch jou modhier.
Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.
7 Kik ibed gi wach e bura mar miriambo kendo kik umi ngʼat maonge ketho ngʼadne buch tho, nimar ok anangʼwon ne ngʼat ma bura oloyo.
Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
8 “Kik iyie kawo asoya, nikech asoya dino wenge jogo maneno kendo omiyo ngʼat makare bedo ngʼama rach.
Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.
9 “Kik usand japiny moro modak e dieru; un uwegi ungʼeyo kaka bedo jadak chalo, nikech ne un jodak e piny Misri.
Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.
10 “Kuom higni auchiel unupur puotheu kendo unuka cham monyakie,
For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;
11 to e higa mar abiriyo weuru puothe onind ma ok opur kendo ma ok okomie cham. Eka joma odhier mantie e kind jou nyalo yudo chiemo, kendo le mag thim nyalo chamo gima giweyo. Timuru kamano bende ne puotheu mag mzabibu kod zeituni.
But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.
12 “Tiuru tijeu kuom ndalo auchiel, to e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo kik uti tich moro amora mondo omi rwethu kod pundeu oyud yweyo kendo misumba monywol e uteu kaachiel gi jodak bende nyalo yudo yweyo.
For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.
13 “Nyaka une ni utimo gik moko duto ma asenyisou. Kik uluong nying nyiseche mamoko; bende kik uwe winjgi kata mana e dhou.
Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.
14 “Unutimna nyasi mar sawo nyadidek e higa.
Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.
15 “Timuru nyasi mar sawo mar makati ma ok oketie thowi; kuom ndalo abiriyo chamuru Makati ma ok oketie thowi, kaka nachikou. Timuru ma e kinde moketi e dwe mar Abib, nimar mano e dwe mane uwuokgo e piny Misri. “Kik ngʼato bi e nyima gi lwete nono.
You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:
16 “Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Keyo mar cham mane ukwongo komo e puotheu. “Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Keyo e giko higa, ka uchoko chambu koa e puotheu.
And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.
17 “Joma chwo duto nobi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nyadidek e higa.
Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
18 “Kik uchiwna remo motimgo misango kaachiel gi gimoro amora moketie thowi. “Bor chiayo modongʼ motimnago misango kik chop nyaka okinyi.
Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning.
19 “Keluru cham mabeyo mokwongo nyaknu e lowo e od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. “Kik uted nyadiel ma pod dhodho cha min.
The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
20 “Neuru, aoro malaika nyimu mondo oritu e yo kendo mondo okelu kama aseikonu.
See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.
21 Chikuru itu kendo winjuru gima owacho. Kik ungʼanyne; nimar Nyinga ni kuome, nikech ka utimo kamano to ok enowenu.
Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.
22 Ka uwinjo maber gima owacho kendo utimo gik moko duto mawacho, to abiro bedo jasik jowasiku kendo anakwed jogo makwedou.
But if you truly give ear to his voice, and do whatever I say, then I will be against those who are against you, fighting those who are fighting you.
23 Malaikana biro telonu materu e piny jo-Amor, jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Kanaan, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus kendo anatiekgi duto.
And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.
24 Kik ukulru e nyim nyisechegi kata lamogi kata luwo timbegi. Nyaka une ni umukogi kendo utoyo kite ma gilamo matindo tindo.
Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.
25 Lamuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kendo anagwedhu gi chiemo kod pi. Anatiek tuoche kuomu,
And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.
26 kendo onge dhako ma iye no-oo piny, kata manobed migumba e pinyu. Abiro miyou ngima moromo chuth.
All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.
27 “Abiro oro kihondkona otel nyimu kendo anami piny ka piny ma uromogo bagni. Anami wasiku duto ringu.
I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.
28 Abiro oro masiche mondo otel nyimu kendo masichego noriemb jo-Hivi, jo-Kanaan kod jo-Hiti.
I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.
29 To ok anariembgi oko dichiel e higa, nikech piny nyalo bedo gunda kendo le mag thim nyalo bedonu mathoth mokalo akwana.
I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
30 Abiro bedo kagologi matin tin e nyimu, nyaka chop umedru moromo kawo pinyno.
Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.
31 “Abiro keto tongʼ mar pinyu kochakore Nam Makwar nyaka e tongʼ Nam mar Mediterania, kendo chakre e thim nyaka e Aora mar Yufrate.
I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.
32 Kik utim winjruok kodgi kata kod nyisechegi.
Make no agreement with them or with their gods.
33 Kik uwegi gidagi e pinyu, ka ok kamano to ginimi utim richo e nyima, nikech lamo nyisechegi nobednu obadho.”
Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
