< 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.
Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: 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 off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
4 To kapo ni oganda jo-Israel ok odewo wach ngʼat mochiwo achiel kuom nyithinde ne Molek, ma ok ginege,
And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not 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 against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of 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 that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
7 Pwodhreuru ubed maler nikech An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy because I am the Lord your God.
8 Rituru buchena kendo uluwgi, nimar An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhou.
Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
9 Ngʼato angʼata mokwongʼo wuon kata min, nyaka negi; nikech timneno; rembe nodongʼ e wiye owuon.
He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood be upon him.
10 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chi wadgi ma gidakgo, to jochode ariyogo nyaka neg-gi duto.
If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour’s wife, let them be put to 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.
If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: 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 lie with his daughter in law, let both die, because they have done a heinous crime: 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 one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: 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 after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
15 Ka ngʼato oterore gi chiayo, ngʼatni nyaka nege, to chiayono bende nyaka negi.
He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill.
16 Ka dhako osudo machiegni gi chiayo mondo oterre kode, giduto nyaka neg-gi kendo rembgi obed e wigi giwegi.
The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same: 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.
If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother’s shame: they have committed a crime: they shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered 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.
If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed out of 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.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered 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 mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, 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.
He that marrieth his brother’s wife, doth an unlawful thing, he hath 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.
Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.
23 Kik uluw timbe oganda mudak e diergi madhi riembonu oko-gi. Nikech gigi mane gitimo nomiyo aol kodgi.
Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done 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 to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
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 do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn 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 other people, 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 woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
