Tim Jo-Lawi 21
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wuo kod jodolo ma yawuot Harun, kendo iwachnegi ni: ‘Kik jadolo tim gimoro ne ringre jadhodgi moro amora motho ma dimi obed mogak,
Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
2 makmana kaponi ngʼat ma othoni en watne manie ot kaka min kata wuon kata wuode kata nyare kata owadgi,
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 kata nyamin-gi manie lwete mapok okendi. Nyamin-gi mapok okendino kende ema nyalo miyo obed mogak.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Kik obed mogak kuom mulo ringre joma otho ma gin wedene kuom kend.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 “‘Jodolo ok oyienegi mondo giliel wigi, kata tito yie tikgi bende kik gisar dendgi.
“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Nyaka gibed jomaler e nyim Nyasachgi, kendo kik gicha nying Nyasachgi. Nikech gin ema gichiwo misengini miwangʼo e mach ni Jehova Nyasaye, ma en chiemb Nyasachgi, omiyo nyaka gibed maler.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 “‘Jodolo ok oyienegi kendo nyako mochot kata nyako mosewere gi chwore, nikech jodolo nyaka bed maler e nyim Nyasachgi.
“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8 Kwan-giuru kaka jomaler, nikech gin ema gichiwo chiemo ni Nyasachu. Kawgiuru kaka jomaler nikech an Jehova Nyasaye aler; an mamiyo ubedo maler.
Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 “‘Ka nyar jadolo olokore ochot, to nyakoni okuodo wi wuon-gi, omiyo nyaka wangʼe gi mach.
“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10 “‘Jadolo maduongʼ e kind owetene, kendo moseol mor pwodhruok e wiye, kendo owal mondo orwak lep dolo, kik owe wiye obed mogar, kata kik orwak law moyiech.
“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11 Jadolono ok oyiene donjo e ot ma ngʼato othoe. Kik obed mogak kata bedni ngʼatno en wuon mare kata min mare,
He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
12 kata kik owuogi koa kama ler mar lemo mar Nyasache, kata miyo kanyo bedo mogak, nikech en ngʼama owal kendo owir gi mor pwodhruok mar Nyasache. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.
13 “‘Nyako mokendo nyaka bed nyako ngili.
“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Kik okend dhako ma chwore otho, kata dhako mowere gi chwore, kata dhako mochot, makmana nyako ngili,
He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
15 mondo omi kik onywol nyithindo mogak e kind ogandane. An e Jehova Nyasaye mamiyo obedo maler.’”
He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
16 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Nyis Harun ni: ‘Kuom tiengeu duto, onge ngʼama ongʼol ma oyiene mondo ochiw chiemo ni Nyasache.
“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Ngʼato angʼata man-gi songa kik sud machiegni gi Nyasaye, obed ni en muofu kata rangʼol, kata ma dende kamoro otimo mbala,
For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 kata ka tiende kata bade ongʼol,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 kata ka en rakuom kata othwogo, kata ka en rachiero, kata ka wangʼe chwero pi, kata ka en gi adhola monyaa kata ka en bwoch.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21 Nyakwar Harun moro amora man-gi songa kik sud machiegni mar timo ne Jehova Nyasaye misango miwangʼo. Nikech en gi songa ok onego osud machiegni mondo ochiw chiemo ne Nyasache.
No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Onyalo chamo chiemb Nyasache, bedni ogol chiemono kuom gik maler kata kuom gik maler moloyo;
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 to nikech ngʼol mare ok onego osud machiegni gi Pasia kata gi kendo mar misango, nikech dipo ka omiyo kara maler mar lemo obedo mogak nimar en gi songa. An e Jehova Nyasaye mapwodhogi.’”
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
24 Kuom mano Musa nonyiso Harun gi yawuote kod jo-Israel duto wachno.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
