Tim Jo-Lawi 20
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya
The Lord told Moses,
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.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
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 will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 To kapo ni oganda jo-Israel ok odewo wach ngʼat mochiwo achiel kuom nyithinde ne Molek, ma ok ginege,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
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 disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 Anabed jasik ngʼama oweya modhi odwanyore gi jo-nyakalondo kod lang chunje maricho; kendo anangʼad kare oko kuom ogandagi.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Pwodhreuru ubed maler nikech An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Rituru buchena kendo uluwgi, nimar An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhou.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
9 Ngʼato angʼata mokwongʼo wuon kata min, nyaka negi; nikech timneno; rembe nodongʼ e wiye owuon.

So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
23 Kik uluw timbe oganda mudak e diergi madhi riembonu oko-gi. Nikech gigi mane gitimo nomiyo aol kodgi.
Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
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 promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
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.
So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are 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 because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.
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.
