Exodus 23
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
“Kik iland wach ma ok adiera. Kik ikony ngʼat marach kidoko janeno mar miriambo.
2 You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
“Kik itim gima rach nikech ji mangʼeny time. Ka in janeno e bura, to kik iketh bura mana nikech idwaro chwako koma ji ngʼenyie,
3 And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
kendo kik ichwak ngʼato e bura nikech odhier.
4 If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
“Ka irodhno gi rwadh jasiki kata pundane ka bayo abaya molal, nyaka idwoke ne wuon-gi.
5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
Ka ineno punda jasiki ka lodi motingʼo ogoye piny, to kik iweye kanyo; nyaka ine ni ikonye.
6 You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
“Kik iketh buch jou modhier.
7 Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
Kik ibed gi wach e bura mar miriambo kendo kik umi ngʼat maonge ketho ngʼadne buch tho, nimar ok anangʼwon ne ngʼat ma bura oloyo.
8 Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
“Kik iyie kawo asoya, nikech asoya dino wenge jogo maneno kendo omiyo ngʼat makare bedo ngʼama rach.
9 Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
“Kik usand japiny moro modak e dieru; un uwegi ungʼeyo kaka bedo jadak chalo, nikech ne un jodak e piny Misri.
10 For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,
“Kuom higni auchiel unupur puotheu kendo unuka cham monyakie,
11 but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
to e higa mar abiriyo weuru puothe onind ma ok opur kendo ma ok okomie cham. Eka joma odhier mantie e kind jou nyalo yudo chiemo, kendo le mag thim nyalo chamo gima giweyo. Timuru kamano bende ne puotheu mag mzabibu kod zeituni.
12 For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
“Tiuru tijeu kuom ndalo auchiel, to e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo kik uti tich moro amora mondo omi rwethu kod pundeu oyud yweyo kendo misumba monywol e uteu kaachiel gi jodak bende nyalo yudo yweyo.
13 Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.
“Nyaka une ni utimo gik moko duto ma asenyisou. Kik uluong nying nyiseche mamoko; bende kik uwe winjgi kata mana e dhou.
14 Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
“Unutimna nyasi mar sawo nyadidek e higa.
15 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
“Timuru nyasi mar sawo mar makati ma ok oketie thowi; kuom ndalo abiriyo chamuru Makati ma ok oketie thowi, kaka nachikou. Timuru ma e kinde moketi e dwe mar Abib, nimar mano e dwe mane uwuokgo e piny Misri. “Kik ngʼato bi e nyima gi lwete nono.
16 You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
“Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Keyo mar cham mane ukwongo komo e puotheu. “Timuru nyasi mar Sawo mar Keyo e giko higa, ka uchoko chambu koa e puotheu.
17 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
“Joma chwo duto nobi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nyadidek e higa.
18 You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
“Kik uchiwna remo motimgo misango kaachiel gi gimoro amora moketie thowi. “Bor chiayo modongʼ motimnago misango kik chop nyaka okinyi.
19 Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
“Keluru cham mabeyo mokwongo nyaknu e lowo e od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. “Kik uted nyadiel ma pod dhodho cha min.
20 Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
“Neuru, aoro malaika nyimu mondo oritu e yo kendo mondo okelu kama aseikonu.
21 Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.
Chikuru itu kendo winjuru gima owacho. Kik ungʼanyne; nimar Nyinga ni kuome, nikech ka utimo kamano to ok enowenu.
22 But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
Ka uwinjo maber gima owacho kendo utimo gik moko duto mawacho, to abiro bedo jasik jowasiku kendo anakwed jogo makwedou.
23 For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
Malaikana biro telonu materu e piny jo-Amor, jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Kanaan, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus kendo anatiekgi duto.
24 You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
Kik ukulru e nyim nyisechegi kata lamogi kata luwo timbegi. Nyaka une ni umukogi kendo utoyo kite ma gilamo matindo tindo.
25 So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
Lamuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kendo anagwedhu gi chiemo kod pi. Anatiek tuoche kuomu,
26 No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
kendo onge dhako ma iye no-oo piny, kata manobed migumba e pinyu. Abiro miyou ngima moromo chuth.
27 I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
“Abiro oro kihondkona otel nyimu kendo anami piny ka piny ma uromogo bagni. Anami wasiku duto ringu.
28 I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
Abiro oro masiche mondo otel nyimu kendo masichego noriemb jo-Hivi, jo-Kanaan kod jo-Hiti.
29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
To ok anariembgi oko dichiel e higa, nikech piny nyalo bedo gunda kendo le mag thim nyalo bedonu mathoth mokalo akwana.
30 Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.
Abiro bedo kagologi matin tin e nyimu, nyaka chop umedru moromo kawo pinyno.
31 And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
“Abiro keto tongʼ mar pinyu kochakore Nam Makwar nyaka e tongʼ Nam mar Mediterania, kendo chakre e thim nyaka e Aora mar Yufrate.
32 You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
Kik utim winjruok kodgi kata kod nyisechegi.
33 They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Kik uwegi gidagi e pinyu, ka ok kamano to ginimi utim richo e nyima, nikech lamo nyisechegi nobednu obadho.”
