< Tim Jo-Lawi 18 >

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya:
The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am the LORD 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.
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
4 Nyaka urit chikena kendo luwuru yorena, nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God.
5 Rituru yorena kod chikena, nimar ngʼat moluwogi nobed mangima kuomgi. An e Jehova Nyasaye.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

"'Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 Kata mana piny bende nobedo mogak, omiyo ne akumogi nikech richo mag-gi, kendo piny nongʼogo joma nodakie iye.
The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 To nyaka urit yorena kod chikena. Onge ngʼato kuomu manotim timbe makwerogo kata obed ja-Israel kata jadak e dieru,
You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner 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 became defiled);
28 To ka udwanyo pinyno, to ngʼeuru ni onyalo ngʼogou oko mar oganda mane okwongonu dake kane gidwanye.
that the land not vomit you out also, when you 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 whoever 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 you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am the LORD your God.'"
