Wuok 23
1 “Kik iland wach ma ok adiera. Kik ikony ngʼat marach kidoko janeno mar miriambo.
You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust 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,
You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.
3 kendo kik ichwak ngʼato e bura nikech odhier.
And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.
4 “Ka irodhno gi rwadh jasiki kata pundane ka bayo abaya molal, nyaka idwoke ne wuon-gi.
And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
5 Ka ineno punda jasiki ka lodi motingʼo ogoye piny, to kik iweye kanyo; nyaka ine ni ikonye.
And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
6 “Kik iketh buch jou modhier.
You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
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.
You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
8 “Kik iyie kawo asoya, nikech asoya dino wenge jogo maneno kendo omiyo ngʼat makare bedo ngʼama rach.
And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
9 “Kik usand japiny moro modak e dieru; un uwegi ungʼeyo kaka bedo jadak chalo, nikech ne un jodak e piny Misri.
And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “Kuom higni auchiel unupur puotheu kendo unuka cham monyakie,
Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
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 you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your 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 shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant 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.
Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Unutimna nyasi mar sawo nyadidek e higa.
Keep you a feast to me three times 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.
Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not 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 you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
17 “Joma chwo duto nobi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nyadidek e higa.
Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
18 “Kik uchiwna remo motimgo misango kaachiel gi gimoro amora moketie thowi. “Bor chiayo modongʼ motimnago misango kik chop nyaka okinyi.
For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide 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.
You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
20 “Neuru, aoro malaika nyimu mondo oritu e yo kendo mondo okelu kama aseikonu.
And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
21 Chikuru itu kendo winjuru gima owacho. Kik ungʼanyne; nimar Nyinga ni kuome, nikech ka utimo kamano to ok enowenu.
Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
22 Ka uwinjo maber gima owacho kendo utimo gik moko duto mawacho, to abiro bedo jasik jowasiku kendo anakwed jogo makwedou.
If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your 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 my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
24 Kik ukulru e nyim nyisechegi kata lamogi kata luwo timbegi. Nyaka une ni umukogi kendo utoyo kite ma gilamo matindo tindo.
You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
25 Lamuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kendo anagwedhu gi chiemo kod pi. Anatiek tuoche kuomu,
And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
26 kendo onge dhako ma iye no-oo piny, kata manobed migumba e pinyu. Abiro miyou ngima moromo chuth.
There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
27 “Abiro oro kihondkona otel nyimu kendo anami piny ka piny ma uromogo bagni. Anami wasiku duto ringu.
And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
28 Abiro oro masiche mondo otel nyimu kendo masichego noriemb jo-Hivi, jo-Kanaan kod jo-Hiti.
And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
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 cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
30 Abiro bedo kagologi matin tin e nyimu, nyaka chop umedru moromo kawo pinyno.
By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
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 your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
32 Kik utim winjruok kodgi kata kod nyisechegi.
You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33 Kik uwegi gidagi e pinyu, ka ok kamano to ginimi utim richo e nyima, nikech lamo nyisechegi nobednu obadho.”
And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you.
