< Tim Jo-Lawi 20 >

1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Nyis jo-Israel ni: Ja-Israel moro amora kata jadak moro amora manie dieru manochiw nyathine moro amora ni nyiseche manono miluongo ni Molek, nyaka negi. Oganda jo-Israel duto mondo ogoye gi kite nyaka otho.
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
3 Anabed jasik ngʼatno kendo anangʼad nyinge oko kuom ogandane; kuom chiwo nyathine ni nyasaye manono miluongo ni Molek, osedwanyo kama ler mar lemo, kendo osechayo nyinga maler.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 To kapo ni oganda jo-Israel ok odewo wach ngʼat mochiwo achiel kuom nyithinde ne Molek, ma ok ginege,
If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5 to an awuon ema nabed jasik ngʼatno gi dhoodgi duto. Kargi anangʼad oko kuom ogandagi, kaachiel gi jogo duto maluwe kendo madwanyore kalamo Molek.
then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 Anabed jasik ngʼama oweya modhi odwanyore gi jo-nyakalondo kod lang chunje maricho; kendo anangʼad kare oko kuom ogandagi.
“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Pwodhreuru ubed maler nikech An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.
8 Rituru buchena kendo uluwgi, nimar An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhou.
You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9 Ngʼato angʼata mokwongʼo wuon kata min, nyaka negi; nikech timneno; rembe nodongʼ e wiye owuon.
“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
10 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wadgi ma gidakgo, to jochode ariyogo nyaka neg-gi duto.
“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wuon mare, to oseelo dug wuon-gi. Ji ariyogi nyaka neg-gi kendo rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
12 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wuode to giduto nyaka neg-gi. Gima gitimono en tim makwero to rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
“‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
13 Ka dichwo oterore gi dichwo wadgi. Giduto ji ariyogi gitimo gima kwero kendo giduto nyaka neg-gi to rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
“‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
14 Ka ngʼato okendo nyako kaachiel gi min-gi bende okendo, to ma en anjawo. Kargi ji adekgo nyaka wangʼ-gi kod mach, mondo tim marach kik dongʼ e dieru.
“‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.
15 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chiayo, ngʼatni nyaka nege, to chiayono bende nyaka negi.
“‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
16 Ka dhako osudo machiegni gi chiayo mondo oterre kode, giduto nyaka neg-gi kendo rembgi obed e wigi giwegi.
“‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
17 Ka ngʼato okendo nyamin mare ma nyar wuon kata ma nyar min, ma giterore kode, to otimo gima kwero. Nyaka neg-gi ka ji duto neno nikech oterore gi nyamin, koro nyaka oyud kum.
“‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
18 Ka ngʼato oterore gi dhako manie dwe, mano okuodo wi dhakono, nikech oele nyaka kama rembe wuokie, dhakono bende oseyie moel nyaka kama rembe wuokie. Giduto nyaka riembgi gia e dier ogandagi.
“‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 Ok oyieni mondo iterri gi nyamin mamau, nikech mano en tim maketho wat. Joma timo timbegi nyaka migi kum.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
20 Ka ngʼato oterore gi nyamin wuon, ngʼatni okuodo wi wuon mareno, omiyo nyaka giyud kum, kendo mondo oneg-gi ma nying-gi lal chuth e dier ogandagi.
If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
21 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi owadgi, to mano en dwanyruok nikech oelo dug owadgi, kendo ok giniyud nyithindo.
“‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
22 Un nyaka koro urit chikena gi buchena kendo umak-gi, mi uluwgi duto, eka piny mamiyou mondo udagieno ok nongʼogu oko.
“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
23 Kik uluw timbe oganda mudak e diergi madhi riembonu oko-gi. Nikech gigi mane gitimo nomiyo aol kodgi.
You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Kendo ne awachonegi niya, “Abiro kawo pinygi kendo abiro miyougo kaka girkeni, ma en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich.” An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mosepogou gi ogendini mamoko.
But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 Nyaka uket pogruok e kind le michamo gi ma ok cham, kendo e kind winy michamo to gi ma ok cham. Kik udok mogak nikech le moro amora kata winyo kata gimoro amora mamol e lowo ma gin gik masewalo tenge nochido.
“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 Nyaka ubed maler e nyima nikech an Jehova Nyasaye aler, kendo asewalou e kind ogendini mondo ubed joga awuon.
You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 Ngʼato angʼata kuomu madichwo kata madhako ma en ajuok nyakalondo kata ma ajwoga moro amora, to ugo gi kite nyaka otho. Giduto nyaka ugogi gi kite kendo rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
“‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
