Tim Jo-Lawi 26
1 Kik ulos kido moro amora mopa kata chungo siro moro milamo bende kidi moro amora mopa kik yud e pinyu kukulorune kulame. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
2 Rituru Sabato maga, kendo luoruru kara maler mar lemo. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
3 Ka urito buchena kendo urito chikena,
“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
4 to abiro kelonu koth e kinde mowinjore, kendo pinyu nochieg cham mi yiendeu nonyag olembe.
I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
5 Ubiro dino cham nyaka chop kinde muponoe mzabibu kendo ubiro pono mzabibu nyaka chop kinde muchwoyoe bende ubiro bedo gi chiemo moromou kendo ubiro dak gi kwe e pinyu.
You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
6 Anamiu kwe e pinyu, mi ununindi maonge ngʼama nomiu luoro. Anatieki ondiegi duto e dieru kendo ligangla ok nomonju kata matin.
“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
7 Unuriemb jowasiku duto e dieru kendo ununeg-gi.
You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
8 Jou abich nobed gi teko mar riembo ji mia achiel, kendo jou mia achiel nobed gi teko mar riembo ji gana apar, kendo ununeg wasiku.
Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
9 Abiro olonu gweth, kendo abiro miyo unywol mi ununyaa mathoth, kendo abiro chopo singruok duto mane atimo kodu.
“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
10 Cham mag higa makadho manie decheu noromu chamo nyaka chop kinde ma ugologie oko mondo uyud thuolo mar rwako cham manyien.
When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
11 Abiro loso kar dakna e dieru kendo ok anajwangʼu kata matin.
I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
12 Anawuoth e dieru mi nabed Nyasachu, kendo unubed joga.
I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
13 An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane ogolou e piny Misri, mondo kik ubed wasumb jo-Misri kendo ne aturo lodi mane otwenu mi koro sani uwuotho tir.
I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
14 To ka unutamru winja ma ok urito chikenago duto,
“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
15 ma udagi buchena kendo uchayo chikena, ma ok urito chikena duto ma uketho singruok mara mane atimo kodu,
and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
16 to koro ngʼeuru chuth ni mae e kaka abiro timonu: Anapou gi masira kod tho marach, gi tuo mayuyo wangʼ gi tuo mamiyo del dhe. Cham ma upidho ok nokonyu kata matin nikech jowasiku ema nochamgi.
these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
17 Anabed ka asin kodu mi wasiku nolou e lweny kendo gininegu; unubed e bwo loch jowasiku, kendo unubwogru gi ngʼwech kata kaonge joma lawou.
I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
18 Kata bangʼ timo magi duto kapod ok unyal winja, to anakumu nyadibiriyo kuom richo duto.
“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
19 Anatiek sunga mar wich teko ma un-go, kendo anami polo rieny ka chuma, kendo piny mwalo nodog matek ka mula.
I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
20 Ubiro ketho tekreu kayiem nono, kuchwoyo cham nimar chambu ok nochiegi, kata yedheu bende ok nonyag olembe.
You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
21 Kapod usikona mana gi wich teko kendo udagi winja, to anakelnu masiche moloyo nyadibiriyo maromre gi richou.
“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
22 Abiro oronu le mag bungu mondo oked kodu kendo ginineg nyithindo kaachiel gi jambu mi unudongʼ manok kendo yoreu nodongʼ nono maonge joma wuothoe.
I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
23 Kobedo ni pod ok udwogo ira kata bangʼ timonu magi duto, kendo udhi mana nyime gi wich teko,
“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
24 to an bende nanyisu wich teko, mi anamiu kum moloyo nyadibiriyo nikech richou.
I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
25 Kendo anakel lweny e dieru mondo achulgo kuor kuom ketho singruok mane atimo kodu, kendo kinde duto manuchokru e miechu to nagou gi tuoche kendo wasiku nomaku.
I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
26 Anami chiembu doko manok kendo mon apar notedi e agulu achiel. Ginipimnu chiemo e rapim, kendo kata kuchiemo to onge ngʼama noyiengʼ.
When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
27 Kobedo ni pod ok udwogo ira kata bangʼ timonu magi duto, kendo udhi mana nyime gi wich teko,
“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
28 to an bende nasik kodu gi wich teko gi mirimba mager, kendo anakumu moloyo nyadibiriyo gi mirimba mager nikech richou.
I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
29 Unucham ring yawuotu kod nyiwu.
[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
30 Anaketh kuondeu motingʼore gi malo, kendo anamuki kendeu muwangʼoe ubani. Anaket ringreu motho kuom nyiseche manono kendo anajwangʼu chuth.
I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
31 Miechu madongo biro bedo gundni, kuondeu maler mag lemo abiro ketho, kendo ok anayie winjo tik mangʼwe ngʼar mag misengini mau.
I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
32 Anaketh pinyu kendo jowasiku mabiro dakie nohum nono.
I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
33 Abiro keyou e kind ogendini, anagol ligangla mi alawu. Pinyu nodongʼ gunda, kendo miechu madongo nokethi chuth.
I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
34 E kinde duto ma pinyu nodongʼ gunda, ka un to asekeyou udak e kind wasiku; pinyu nobed ma ok opur mondo ochulgo Sabato maga duto mane ok urito.
After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
35 E kinde duto ma pinyu nodongʼ gunda kamano, enobed ma ok opure, ka oritogo Sabato duto mane ok oyweyoe e kinde mane udak kuno.
All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
36 To kuom jou modongʼ ka ngima e piny wasikgi, ginto anagogi kod kihondko e piny wasikgi, ma kata ka yamo okwadho it oboke maponi giwinjo, to giniwuog gi ngʼwech. Giniringi mana ka joma wasigu lawo gi ligangla mi gipodh piny kata obedo ni onge ngʼama lawogi.
“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
37 Ginituomre kendgi giwegi mana ka joma wasigu lawo gi ligangla, kata obedo ni onge ngʼama lawogi. Omiyo ok unuyud teko mar kedo gi wasiku.
You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.
38 Unulal nono e kind ogendini, kendo wasiku notieku.
Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
39 Joma otony e dieru mane odongʼ kangima e pinje mag wasiku nobed ka dendgi dhi adhiya nikech richogi kendo nikech richo mag kweregi, mana machal kaka notimore ni kweregi.
And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
40 Bangʼ mae gibiro hulo richogi gi richo kweregi mane omiyo giweya kaachiel gi richo mane omiyo gibedo wasika,
“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
41 mane omiyo abedo kodgi mamon kendo mane omiyo aterogi e piny wasikgi, eka bangʼe chunygi ma ok oyie kaka adwaro nobolre, mi giniyud kum kuom richogi,
42 eka abiro paro singruok mane atimo gi Jakobo kendo gi Isaka kendo gi Ibrahim, kendo anapar pinyu.
I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
43 Piny to nodongʼ gunda nikech joma odakie osea, kendo obiro nindo ka ok opure mondo ochulgo Sabato duto mane ok oyweyoe. Giniyud kum kuom richogi nikech ne gichayo chikena kod buchena.
But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
44 “Kata kamano, kata obedo ni gin e piny wasikgi, to ka anawitgi kendo ok anajwangʼ-gi kata tiekogi chuth, mi aketh singruok mane atimo kodgi. An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.
45 Nikech aherogi, omiyo anapar singruok mane atimo gi kweregi, mane agolo e piny Misri mana kane ogendini neno mondo an Jehova Nyasaye abed Nyasachgi.”
I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
46 Magi e buche, chike kod yore mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo jo-Israel e Got Sinai kokadho kuom Musa.
Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
