Tim Jo-Lawi 17

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Wuo gi Harun gi yawuote kaachiel gi nyithind Israel duto kendo iwachnegi kama: ‘Ma e chik ma Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo

Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:

3 Ja-Israel moro amora motimo misango gi rwath kata nyaim, kata diel ei kambi kata oko mar kambi,

Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,

4 to ok okele e dho Hemb Romo mondo otimgo ni Jehova Nyasaye misango e nyim Hema Maler mar Jehova Nyasaye, to ngʼatno nokwan mana kaka ngʼama oneko nikech osechwero remo, omiyo nongʼad kare oko kuom ogandagi.

And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.

5 Chikni oketi mondo omi jo-Israel okelne Jehova Nyasaye misengini makoro gitimo e pewe. Nyaka gikelgi ne jadolo manochiwgi e dho Hemb Romo kaka misango mar lalruok.

Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.

6 Jadolo nokir remo e kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye manie dho Hemb Romo, kendo owangʼ boche madum tik mangʼwe ngʼar ni Jehova Nyasaye.

And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.

7 Ok gichak gichiw misengini ne jochiende ma gisebedo ka gidwanyorego. Koro ma en chik momakou nyaka chiengʼ kaachiel gi tienge mabiro.’

And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.

8 “Wachnegi kama: ‘Ka ja-Israel moro amora kata jadak manie diergi otimo misango miwangʼo pep, kata misango moro amora,

And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,

9 kendo ok okele e dho Hemb Romo mondo otimgo ni Jehova Nyasaye misango, to ngʼatno nyaka ngʼad kare oko kuom ogandagi.

And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.

10 “‘Ka ja-Israel moro amora kata japiny moro modak e diergi ochamo remb chiayo moro amora to anabed jasike, kendo anangʼade oko kuom ogandani.

If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:

11 Nimar gima ochwe ngimane nitie e remo, omiyo asemiyougo mondo utim-go misango e kendo mar misango mondo upwodhrugo nikech remo ema itimogo misango mar pwodho ngima ngʼato.

Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

12 Kuom mano, anyiso jo-Israel kama: “Ngʼato angʼata kuomgi kik cham remo kendo jodak manie dieru bende kik cham remo.”

Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.

13 “‘Ja-Israel moro amora kata jadak manie dieru modhi dwar, momako le kata winyo mondo ocham, nyaka ol rembe piny mi oik kod lowo,

Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.

14 nikech gik mangima duto ngimagi ni e rembgi. Mano emomiyo asewacho ne jo-Israel niya, “Kik ucham remb gimoro amora, nikech gima ochwe ngimane ni e rembe, kendo ngʼato angʼata mochame nongʼad kare oko.”

For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.

15 “‘Ngʼato angʼata ma ja-Israel kata jadak manie dieru mochamo gima otho kende, kata mondiek onego nyaka luok lepe kende olwokre, kendo nobed mogak nyaka odhiambo, eka bangʼe nobed maler.

The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.

16 To ka ok olwoko lepe kendo ok olwokore, to nyaka oyud kum kuom kethone.’”

But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
