< Tim Jo-Lawi 18 >

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt in which 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 ordinances.
4 Nyaka urit chikena kendo luwuru yorena, nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them; I [am] the LORD your God.

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments: which if a man doeth, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.

The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father's nakedness.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.

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 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 its iniquity upon it, and the land itself 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 shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any 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, who [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 may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nations that [were] before you.
29 “‘Jogo duto matim makwerogo noyud e ngimagi, ginto nyaka golgi oko ei ogandagi.
For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [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 ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them; I [am] the LORD your God.
