< Wuok 34 >
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Paa kite ariyo machal gi mane okwongo ka kendo anandikie weche mane ni e kite mokwongo mane itoyo.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Bed moikore gokinyi kendo ibi ira ewi Got Sinai kendo kanyo ema anaromie kodi.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Onge ngʼato angʼata manobi kodi kata manobed machiegni ewi got kata mana chiayo kod kweth mag dhok kik kwaa e alwora mar godno.”
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Kuom mano Musa nopayo kite ariyo machal gi mane okwongo ka kendo nodhi ewi Got Sinai gokinyi kotingʼogi e lwete mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechike.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nolor koa ei boche kendo nochungʼ kanyo kod Musa kohulone nyinge mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 Kendo nokadho e nyim Musa kohulo niya, Jehova Nyasaye, Jehova Nyasaye, ma jangʼwono kendo ma kecho ji, ahora mos bende agundho gihera kod adiera,
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 ka anyiso hera ne ji gana gi gana kendo aweyo ni ji timbegi maricho, wich teko kod richo. To kata kamano, ok akwan joricho kaka joma kare; to akumo nyithindo gi nyikwayo nyaka tiengʼ mar adek kod mar angʼwen nikech richo kweregi.
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Musa nokulore nyaka e lowo mapiyo nono mi olamo.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Nowacho niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka ayudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, to yie idhi kodwa. Kata obedo ni jogi gin joma tokgi tek kamano, to wenwa kuom timbewa mamono kod richowa kendo kwan-wa kaka mwanduni.”
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Atimo kodi singruok. E nyim jogi duto abiro timo honni madongo mapok otimie oganda moro amora e piny. Jogo mudak e kindgi biro neno kaka timbe ma an Jehova Nyasaye abiro timo dongo.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Rituru chike ma amiyou kawuono. Abiro riembo oko e nyimu jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Beduru motangʼ ne timo winjruok gi jogo modak e pinyno ma udhiyoe, nono to ginibednu obadho.
13 Mukuru kendegi mag misengini, touru kitegi mopa milamo kendo tongʼuru sirnigi mag Ashera.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 Kik ulam nyasaye moro amora nikech Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma janyiego.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 “Beduru motangʼ ne timo winjruok gi jogo modak e pinyno; nimar ka gilamo nyisechegi e yor dwanyruok kendo gitimo misengini gibiro luongou kendo ubiro chamo chiembgi mag misengini.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 To bende ka ukawo nyigi moko mondo obed mond yawuotu mi nyigigo odwanyore kendgi gi nyisechegigo, to gibiro miyo yawuotu timo kamano.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 “Kik ulos nyiseche mothedhi mag mula mondo ulam.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 “Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar makati ma ok oketie thowi kuom ndalo abiriyo kaka nachikou. Timuru mano e kinde moketi e dwe mar Abib, nimar e dweno ema ne agoloue e piny Misri.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 “Nyak mokwongo mar nyodo e kind jo-Israel en mara, bed ni en dhano kata jamni.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 Waruru nyodo mokwongo mar punda gi nyarombo, to ka ok unyal ware, to tururu ngʼute. Waruru yawuotu makayo. “Onge ngʼama onego obi e nyima gi lwete nono.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 “Kuom ndalo auchiel unutim tijeu to odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo unuywe; kata mana e kinde mag pur kod keyo bende nyaka uywe.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 “Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Jumbe gi keyo mar nyak mokwongo mar ngano kod Sawo mar Pono Olembe e rumb higa.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Jou machwo duto nyaka chopi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma Nyasach Israel nyadidek e higa.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
24 Abiro riembo oko ogendini bende abiro yaro tongʼ mar pinyu kendo onge ngʼat manobed gi gombo kuom pinyu e kinde ma udhi ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ngʼato ka ngʼato nyadidek e higa.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 “Kik uchiwna remo motimgo misango kaachiel gi gimoro amora moketie thowi, kendo misango moro amora mochiw chiengʼ nyasi mar Pasaka kik dongʼ nyaka okinyi.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 “Keluru cham mabeyo mokwongo nyaknu e lowo e od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. “Kik uted nyadiel ma pod dhodho cha min.”
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ndik wechegi piny nimar kaluwore gi wechegi asetimo singruok kodi kaachiel gi jo-Israel.”
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 Musa nobedo gi Jehova Nyasaye kuno kuom ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno, ka ok ocham makati kata modho pi. Kendo nondiko weche mag singruokgi e kite mopa miluongi ni Chike Apar.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Kane Musa olor koa e Got Sinai gi kite ariyo mopa mag Sandug Muma kotingʼo e lwete to ne ok ongʼeyo ni lela wangʼe ne rieny nikech nosewuoyo gi Jehova Nyasaye.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Kane Harun kod jo-Israel duto oneno ka lela wangʼ Musa rieny, negiluoro biro bute machiegni.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 To Musa noluongogi; omiyo Harun kod jodongo duto mag oganda Israel noduogo ire mi owuoyo kodgi.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Bangʼe jo-Israel duto nobiro machiegni kode kendo ne omiyogi chike duto ma Jehova Nyasaye nosemiye e Got Sinai.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Kane Musa otieko wuoyo kodgi, noketo ragengʼ e wangʼe.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 To e kinde moro amora mane odhi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mondo owuo kode, to nogolo ragengʼno nyaka owuog e nyime. Kane owuok oko mi onyiso jo-Israel gima Jehova Nyasaye osewachone, negineno wangʼe karieny.
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 Eka Musa ne gengʼo wangʼe kendo nyaka chop ochak odhi owuo gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
