Deuteronomy 17
1 No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.
Kik itim misango ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi gi rwath kata gi rombo man-gi songa kata mbala, nimar mano en gima kwero e nyime.
2 If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,
Ka dichwo kata dhako modak e dieru e achiel kuom dalane ma Jehova Nyasaye omiyou oyud katimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo koketho singruokne,
3 By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;
mopogore gi chikena molamo nyiseche mamoko, kokulorenegi, bed ni en chiengʼ, dwe kata sulwe marieny e kor polo.
4 If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;
Ka wachni okel e nyimu, to nyaka unon tiende malongʼo. Ka unono wachni ma uyudo ni gima kwerono otimore e Israel adier,
5 Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.
to goluru dichwono kata dhakono mosetimo gima mononi e dhorangach mar dala maduongʼ kendo mondo uchiele gi kite nyaka otho.
6 On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.
Kik ungʼadne ngʼato buch tho ka nitie mana janeno achiel kende, to ngʼadne ngʼato buch tho ka nitie joneno ariyo kata adek.
7 The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
Lwet jonenogo ema onego okuong ogoye motho, bangʼe eka joma moko nogoye. Nyaka ugol tim marachno oa e dieru.
8 If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;
Kokel buche matek e dieru ma ok unyal ngʼado, bedni gin buche mag nek, larruok kata mag goruok, to tergiuru kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro yiero.
9 And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:
Dhiuru ir jodolo magin jo-Lawi kendo kuom jangʼad bura manie tich sano. Nonuru wach kuomgi kendo gini ngʼadnu bura.
10 And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:
Gima giwachonu kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro yierono ema nyaka utim.
11 Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.
Nyaka une ni utimo mana kaka giwachonu ma ok uweyo kata matin. Kik ukwan ka nono gik ma giwachonu.
12 And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.
Ngʼato monyiso wich teko ne jangʼad bura kata ne jadolo ma ochungʼ kanyo kachiwo weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nyaka negi kendo nyaka ugol tim mamono e dier jo-Israel.
13 And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.
Ji duto biro winjo kendo nobed maluor bende ok ginichak gibed gi wich teko.
14 When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;
Ka udonjo e piny ma ruoth ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou, mi ukawe kendo udakie ma uwacho niya, “We waket ruodhwa mana kaka ogendini moluorowa,”
15 Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.
to neuru ni uyiero ruoth ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema ochiwo, kendo nyaka obed achiel kuom oweteu, kik uket ngʼat machielo, ma ok en ja-Israel wadu.
16 And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.
To ruoth ok onego obed gi farese mangʼeny kata chuno ji mondo odog Misri dhi omo moko, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osewachonu niya, “Ok onego udog gi yorno kendo.”
17 And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.
Kik obed gi mon mathoth nikech mano dipoka oketho parone. Bende kik obed gi fedha kod dhahabu mangʼeny.
18 And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:
Ka okawo loch mar pinyruodhe, to nyaka ondik chikgi kogologi e kitap chik ma jodolo ma gin jo-Lawi nigo.
19 And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:
Chikgi nyaka obedgo kosomo pile ndalo duto mag ngimane mondo opuonjrego miyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache luor korito chikenegi kod buchene duto.
20 So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.
Kendo kik okwanre ni ober maloyo owetene koweyo luwo chik. Bangʼe en kod nyikwaye nobedie loch ndalo mangʼeny e pinyruodh Israel.
