Tim Jo-Lawi 12
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kowacho niya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Wachne nyithind Israel kama: Ka dhako omako ich ma onywolo nyathi ma wuowi, to enobed mogak bangʼ ndalo abiriyo, machalre kaka obedo mogak e ndalone mar neno malo.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
3 Chiengʼ mar aboro, nyathino nyaka ter nyangu.
The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
4 Bangʼ mae to dhakono nyaka rit kuom ndalo piero adek gadek, mondo pwodhe kuom rembe. E kindeno ok oyiene mulo gimoro amora mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye, kata donjo e kama ler mar lemo, nyaka ndalone mag pwodhruok rum.
Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
5 To ka onywolo nyathi ma nyako, to nobed mogak kuom ndalo apar gangʼwen, mana kaka obedo mogak e ndalone mar neno malo. Bangʼ mano to nyaka orit kuom ndalo piero auchiel gauchiel mondo opwodhe kuom rembe.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
6 “‘E ndalo ma pwodhruokne kuom nyathi ma wuowi kata ma nyako oserumo, to enokel nyaim ma hike achiel mitimogo misango miwangʼo pep Jehova Nyasaye, kaachiel kata nyathi akuru gi akuch odugla, mondo otimgo misango mar golo richo, kendo enochiwe ni jadolo e dho Hemb Romo.
‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
7 Eka jadolo nochiwe ni Jehova Nyasaye mondo opwodhgo dhakono, kendo dhakono nodok maler kuom rembe mosechwer. “‘Magi e chike momako dhako monywolo nyathi ma wuowi kata ma nyako.
The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
8 Ka en dhako modhier ma ok nyal yudo nyaim, to oyiene mondo okel akuch odugla ariyo kata nyithi akuru ariyo. Achiel kuomgi notim godo misango miwangʼo pep, to machielo notimgo misango mar golo richo. Jadolo notim misenginigo, ka opwodhogo dhakono, kendo dhakono nobed maler.’”
If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
