Wuok 23

1 “Kik iland wach ma ok adiera. Kik ikony ngʼat marach kidoko janeno mar miriambo.

Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous 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,

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment: ]

3 kendo kik ichwak ngʼato e bura nikech odhier.

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

4 “Ka irodhno gi rwadh jasiki kata pundane ka bayo abaya molal, nyaka idwoke ne wuon-gi.

If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5 Ka ineno punda jasiki ka lodi motingʼo ogoye piny, to kik iweye kanyo; nyaka ine ni ikonye.

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

6 “Kik iketh buch jou modhier.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his 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 thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8 “Kik iyie kawo asoya, nikech asoya dino wenge jogo maneno kendo omiyo ngʼat makare bedo ngʼama rach.

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9 “Kik usand japiny moro modak e dieru; un uwegi ungʼeyo kaka bedo jadak chalo, nikech ne un jodak e piny Misri.

Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

10 “Kuom higni auchiel unupur puotheu kendo unuka cham monyakie,

And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

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 the seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard.

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.

Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

13 “Nyaka une ni utimo gik moko duto ma asenyisou. Kik uluong nying nyiseche mamoko; bende kik uwe winjgi kata mana e dhou.

And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

14 “Unutimna nyasi mar sawo nyadidek e higa.

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

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.

Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )

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 harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, [which is] in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

17 “Joma chwo duto nobi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nyadidek e higa.

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear 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.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until 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 first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

20 “Neuru, aoro malaika nyimu mondo oritu e yo kendo mondo okelu kama aseikonu.

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 Chikuru itu kendo winjuru gima owacho. Kik ungʼanyne; nimar Nyinga ni kuome, nikech ka utimo kamano to ok enowenu.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for 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 thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

23 Malaikana biro telonu materu e piny jo-Amor, jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Kanaan, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus kendo anatiekgi duto.

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

24 Kik ukulru e nyim nyisechegi kata lamogi kata luwo timbegi. Nyaka une ni umukogi kendo utoyo kite ma gilamo matindo tindo.

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

25 Lamuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kendo anagwedhu gi chiemo kod pi. Anatiek tuoche kuomu,

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

26 kendo onge dhako ma iye no-oo piny, kata manobed migumba e pinyu. Abiro miyou ngima moromo chuth.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

27 “Abiro oro kihondkona otel nyimu kendo anami piny ka piny ma uromogo bagni. Anami wasiku duto ringu.

I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

28 Abiro oro masiche mondo otel nyimu kendo masichego noriemb jo-Hivi, jo-Kanaan kod jo-Hiti.

And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

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 drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 Abiro bedo kagologi matin tin e nyimu, nyaka chop umedru moromo kawo pinyno.

By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit 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.

And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

32 Kik utim winjruok kodgi kata kod nyisechegi.

Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 Kik uwegi gidagi e pinyu, ka ok kamano to ginimi utim richo e nyima, nikech lamo nyisechegi nobednu obadho.”

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
