Tim Jo-Lawi 20
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya
And 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.
You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
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.
And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
4 To kapo ni oganda jo-Israel ok odewo wach ngʼat mochiwo achiel kuom nyithinde ne Molek, ma ok ginege,
But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
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.
I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
6 Anabed jasik ngʼama oweya modhi odwanyore gi jo-nyakalondo kod lang chunje maricho; kendo anangʼad kare oko kuom ogandagi.
The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
7 Pwodhreuru ubed maler nikech An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Rituru buchena kendo uluwgi, nimar An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhou.
Observe my precepts, 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.
Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.
10 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wadgi ma gidakgo, to jochode ariyogo nyaka neg-gi duto.
If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wuon mare, to oseelo dug wuon-gi. Ji ariyogi nyaka neg-gi kendo rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
12 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wuode to giduto nyaka neg-gi. Gima gitimono en tim makwero to rembgi nobedi e wigi giwegi.
If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.
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 any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
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 any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.
15 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chiayo, ngʼatni nyaka nege, to chiayono bende nyaka negi.
Whoever will have committed sexual acts with any animal or cattle, he shall die a death. Likewise, you shall slay the beast.
16 Ka dhako osudo machiegni gi chiayo mondo oterre kode, giduto nyaka neg-gi kendo rembgi obed e wigi giwegi.
The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood 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.
Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their 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.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of 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 expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both 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 any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.
21 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi owadgi, to mano en dwanyruok nikech oelo dug owadgi, kendo ok giniyud nyithindo.
Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.
22 Un nyaka koro urit chikena gi buchena kendo umak-gi, mi uluwgi duto, eka piny mamiyou mondo udagieno ok nongʼogu oko.
Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.
23 Kik uluw timbe oganda mudak e diergi madhi riembonu oko-gi. Nikech gigi mane gitimo nomiyo aol kodgi.
Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate 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 say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other 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.
Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.
26 Nyaka ubed maler e nyima nikech an Jehova Nyasaye aler, kendo asewalou e kind ogendini mondo ubed joga awuon.
You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would 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, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.
