Tim Jo-Lawi 1

1 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noluongo Musa mowuoyo kode gie Hemb Romo. Nowachone niya,

While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,

2 Wachne nyithind Israel kiwacho kama: Ka ngʼato kuomu kelo chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye, to onego okel chiwo mag chiayo kaka dhok kata rombe.

“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.

3 Ka chiwo en misango miwangʼo pep mar dhiangʼ, to nyaka obed mana mano madichwo maonge songa. Nyaka to ochiwe e dho Hemb Romo mondo omi Jehova Nyasaye oyie kode.

‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.

4 Nyaka oket lwete ewi misango miwangʼo pep, mi Jehova Nyasaye noyie gi misangono mondo obed gima opwodhgo richone.

You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.

5 Kendo enoyangʼ nyarwath e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, eka yawuot Harun ma bende gin jodolo nokel remo, kendo ginikir remo molworo kendo mar misango kendo mochomore gi dho Hemb Romo.

You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

6 Eka noyangʼ rwadhno kaka misango miwangʼo pep kendo enopoge matindo tindo.

You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.

7 Eka yawuot Harun jadolo nomok mach e kendo mar misango, kendo ginichan yien ewi mach.

Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.

8 Bangʼe yawuot Harun ma jodolo nochan lemo duto kaka wich gi boche ewi yien manie mach mar kendo mar misango.

Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

9 Enoluoki jamb-ich gi tiendene gi pi, kendo jadolo nowangʼ-gi duto ewi kendo mar misango. En misango miwangʼo pep, madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar ni Jehova Nyasaye.

Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

10 To ka chiwono en misango miwangʼo pep nowuogi kuom jamni kata kuom rombe kata diek, to nyaka ochiw mano madichwo maonge songa.

‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.

11 Kendo mondo onege e bath kendo mar misango yo nyandwat nyim Jehova Nyasaye, eka jodolo magin yawuot Harun nokir rembgi ewi kendo mar misango bathe koni gi koni.

You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

12 Kendo nongʼade matindo tindo, eka jadolo nochan-gi ewi yien manie wi kendo mar misango wich kod boche.

You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

13 To noluok jamb-ich gi tiendene kod pi, eka jadolo nokelgi duto mi nowangʼ-gi ewi kendo mar misango. En misango miwangʼo pep, madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

14 To ka misango miwangʼo pep michiwone Jehova Nyasaye gin mana winy, to koro nyaka okel mana akuch odugla kata nyathi akuru.

‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.

15 Jadolo nokele e kendo mar misango, kendo nochod wiye, eka owangʼe ewi kendo mar misango, kendo rembe nobii michwer e bath kendo mar misango.

The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.

16 Enogol oswakone gi gik moko manie i oswakone mowitgi oko e bath kendo mar misango, yo wuok chiengʼ kama otimo buru.

Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.

17 Eka enobare gi e bwombe, to ok nopoge chuth, kendo bangʼe jadolo nowangʼe ewi kendo mar misango, kokete ewi yien manie mach. Ma en misango miwangʼo pep, ma en misango miwangʼo gi mach, madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar ni Jehova Nyasaye.

Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
