Tim Jo-Lawi 18
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya:
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
3 Kik utim timbe ma jo-Misri mane udak e diergi timo kendo kik timbe moko mag jo-Kanaan makoro aterou e diergi yudre kuomu. Bende kik uluw timbe ma gitimo.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
4 Nyaka urit chikena kendo luwuru yorena, nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
5 Rituru yorena kod chikena, nimar ngʼat moluwogi nobed mangima kuomgi. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.
6 “‘Kik ngʼato terre gi dhako moluongo ni watne. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Jehovah.
7 “‘Kik ikuod wi wuonu kuom terruok gi chiege, nikech en minu.
The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘Kik iterri gi chi wuonu, nikech kitimo kamano to ikelone wuonu wichkuot.
The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover; it is thy father’s nakedness.

The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 “‘Kik iterri gi nyakwari maka wuodi kata maka nyari, nikech kitimo kamano to ikelo wichkuot ni in iwuon.

17 “‘Kik iterri gi nyako kaachiel gi min-gi. Kik iterri gi nyakware ma ka wuode kata maka nyare, nikech gin wede dhakono. Mano en tim anjawo.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 “‘Kik ikend nyamin chiegi mondo obed nyieke ma iriwri kode ka nyamin pod ngima.

24 “‘Kik udwanyru kutimo timbe ma kamago nikech timbego ema ogendini mabiro riembo e nyimu ne timo.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;
25 Kata mana piny bende nobedo mogak, omiyo ne akumogi nikech richo mag-gi, kendo piny nongʼogo joma nodakie iye.
and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 To nyaka urit yorena kod chikena. Onge ngʼato kuomu manotim timbe makwerogo kata obed ja-Israel kata jadak e dieru,
Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you
27 nikech magi e timbe ma joma nodak e pinyni kapok ubiro notimo kendo negiketho pinyni.
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);
28 To ka udwanyo pinyno, to ngʼeuru ni onyalo ngʼogou oko mar oganda mane okwongonu dake kane gidwanye.
that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 “‘Jogo duto matim makwerogo noyud e ngimagi, ginto nyaka golgi oko ei ogandagi.
For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Emomiyo luwuru chikena kendo ritreuru ma kik uluw timbe makwero mane joma odak e pinyni otimo kapok ubiro, mondo kik ubed mogak. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.’”
Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.
