Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all of Israel, across the Jordan, in the plain of the wilderness opposite the Red Sea, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth, where gold is very plentiful,
Magi e weche mane Musa owacho ne jo-Israel duto e piny motwo man wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, mano man Araba mochomore gi Suf e kind Paran kod Tofel; Laban, Hazeroth kod Dizahab.
2 eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir as far as Kadesh-barnea.
(En wuodh ndalo apar gachiel kia Horeb nyaka Kadesh Barnea kiwuok e got maluwo yo Seir.)
3 In the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses told the sons of Israel all that the Lord had instructed him. And so he spoke to them,
E higa mar piero angʼwen e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar apar gachiel, Musa ne owacho ne jo-Israel gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochike mondo owachnegi.
4 after he had struck down Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who resided at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Ma ne bangʼ kane oseloyo Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane ruodh Heshbon kendo noloyo Og ruodh Bashan, ma bende nosebedo gi loch e piny Edrei gi Ashtaroth.
5 across the Jordan in the land of Moab. And so, Moses began to explain the law, and to say:
Musa nochako puonjo weche mag chik koa yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan nyaka tongʼ Moab kowachona niya,
6 “The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying: ‘You have remained long enough on this mountain.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nowachonwa ka en Horeb niya, “Isedak mangʼeny ahinya e godni.
7 Turn back and go to the mountain of the Amorites, and to the other places which are near it: the plains as well as the mountainous regions, and the low-lying places opposite the south and along the shore of the sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river Euphrates.’
Wuogi e kambi kendo iwuoth kichomo bungu man e gode mag jo-Amor, dhi e miech ji duto mokiewo gi Araba, jogo modak e gode, jogo modak e tie gode man yo podho chiengʼ, jogo modak Negev kod mago modak e dho nam, kaachiel gi jogo modak e piny Kanaan kod Lebanon, nyaka chop e aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
8 ‘Lo,’ he said, ‘I have delivered it to you. Enter and possess that which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their offspring after them.’
Ne, asemiyoi pinyni. Dhiuru kendo ukaw piny mane Jehova Nyasaye ne okwongʼore ni nomi Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kaachiel gi nyikwagi.”
9 And I said to you, at that time:
E odiechiengno ne awachonu niya, “Un joma tekogi ohinga ma ok anyal tingʼo kenda.
10 ‘I alone am not able to sustain you. For the Lord, your God, has multiplied you, and you are today like the stars of heaven, very many.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo kwan maru omedore ma kawuono ungʼeny mana ka sulwe manie kor polo.
11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, add to this number many thousands more, and may he bless you, just as he has said.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu mi unyaa moromo alufu gi alufu kendo enogwedhu mana kaka nosingore.
12 Alone, I do not have the strength to endure your arbitrations and judgments and disputes.
To ere kaka anyalo tingʼo chandruoku, tingʼ magu mapek kod dondruokgo kenda awuon.
13 Offer, from among you, wise and experienced men, those whose conversation has been proven within your tribes, so that I may appoint them as your rulers.’
Yier jomariek man-gi winjo kod joma nigi luor mowuok e dhoudi duto kendo naketgi jotendu.”
14 Then you responded to me: ‘What you intend to do is a good thing.’
Ne udwoka niya, “Gima iparo mar timono nikare.”
15 And so, I took from your tribes men, wise and noble, and I appointed them as rulers, as tribunes and centurions, and as leaders over fifty and over ten, who would teach you each thing.
Omiyo nakawo joma otelo ne dhoutu, ma gin joma riek momi luor kendo naketogi mondo gibed loch kuomu kaka jotend oganda. Moko kuomgi naketo jotend ji alufu alufu, to moko jotend mia mia, to moko jotend ji piero abich abich, bangʼe moko jotend ji apar apar kendo moko naketo jotelo mopogore opogore e dhoutgi duto.
16 And I instructed them, saying: ‘Listen to them, and judge what is just, whether he is one of your citizens or a sojourner.
E kindeno nachiko jongʼad bura mau niya, Winjuru weche manie kind oweteu kendo ungʼad bura kare poni nitie bura e kind jo-Israel kendgi kata e kind ja-Israel kod japiny moro.
17 There shall be no favoritism to any persons. So you shall listen to the little as well as to the great. And you shall not accept anyone’s reputation, for this is the judgment of God. But if anything seems difficult to you, then refer it to me, and I will hear it.’
Kik udew wangʼ ka ungʼado bura, winj ngʼat matin kod maduongʼ mana machal. Kik uluor wangʼ ngʼato nimar bura makare en mar Nyasaye. Kelnauru bura moro amora matek ma ok unyal kendo abiro winjo.
18 And I instructed you in all that you were obliged to do.
Kendo kanyo ema ne anyisue gik moko duto mane onego utim.
19 Then, setting out from Horeb, we crossed through a terrible and great wasteland, which you saw along the way of the mountain of the Amorite, just as the Lord our God had instructed us. And when we had arrived at Kadesh-barnea,
Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nochikowa, ne wachako wuoth ka wawuok Horeb kendo ne wachomo pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor, kwakalo e dier bungu malich ma useneno kendo ne wachopo Kadesh Barnea.
20 I said to you: ‘You have arrived at the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God will give to us.
Eka ne awachonu niya, “Usechopo e pinje mag gode mar jo-Amor ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa.
21 Gaze upon the land that the Lord your God gives to you. Ascend and possess it, just as the Lord our God has spoken to your fathers. Do not be afraid, and do not become terrified by anything.’
To ne, Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu osemiyou piny. Dhiuru mondo ukawe mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu nowacho niya. Kik ubed maluor, chunyu bende kik nyosre.”
22 And you all approached me and said: ‘Let us send men who may consider the land, and who may report as to the way by which we ought to ascend, and as to which cities we ought to travel.’
Eka un duto nubiro ira muwachna niya, “Waor jomoko nyimwa mondo odhi onon-nwa piny kendo odwoknwa wach e yo ma onego walu gi dala ma wabiro chopoe.”
23 And since the word was pleasing to me, I sent from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
Parono ne aneno kaber omiyo ne ayiero ji apar gariyo kuomu ka ngʼato ka ngʼato oa e dhoodgi.
24 These, when they had set out and had ascended the mountains, arrived as far as the valley of the cluster of grapes. And having considered the land,
Ne giwuok ka gidhi e pinje mag gode ma gichopo e Holo mar Eshkol mondo ginon kaka pinyno obet.
25 having taken from its fruits in order to show its fertility, they brought these to us, and they said: ‘The land that the Lord our God will give to us is good.’
Negikawo gik monyak e pinyno, mi gikelonwa, kagiwacho niya, “En piny maber ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa biro miyowa.”
26 Yet you were not willing to go there. Instead, being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
Ne ok giyie dhi e pinyno, kendo ne gingʼanyo mi gidagi winjo chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
27 you murmured in your tents, and you said: ‘The Lord hates us, and therefore he has led us away from the land of Egypt, so that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us.
Ne ungʼur e hembeu ka uwacho niya, Jehova Nyasaye ok dwarwa, omiyo nogolowa e piny Misri mondo ochiw-wa e lwet jo-Amor mondo otiekwa.
28 To where should we ascend? The messengers have terrified our heart by saying: “The multitude is very great, and taller than us. And the cities are great, and the walls extend even to the sky. We have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’
Ere kuma wanyalo dhiyoe? Owetewa osechido chunywa, ka giwachonwa niya, “Jogo tek kendo boyo moloyowa, mier madongo lach kendo nigi ohinga, bende ne waneno jo-Anak.”
29 And I said to you: ‘Do not be apprehensive, nor should you fear them.
Eka ne awachonu niya, “Kik ubwogi, kik uluorgi
30 The Lord God himself, who is your leader, will fight on your behalf, just as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ma otelo e nyimu, biro kedonu mana kaka ne okedonu e piny Misri kod e thim ka uneno gi wengeu uwegi.
31 And in the wilderness (as you yourselves saw), the Lord your God carried you, like a man who is accustomed to carrying his little son, along all the way that you walked, until you arrived at this place.’
Kuno bende ne uneno kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu okawo tingʼu mana kaka wuoro kawo tingʼ wuode, kotelonu e wuodhu duto nyaka uchopo ka.”
32 And yet, despite all of this, you did not believe the Lord your God,
Ei magi duto ne ok uketo genou kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
33 who went before you on the way, and who marked out the place where you should pitch your tents, showing you the way by fire in the night, and by a pillar of cloud in the day.
mane otelo nyimu e wuodhu, gotieno notelonu gi mach to godiechiengʼ notelonu gi rumbi mondo umany kuonde monego ubworie kendo onyisu yo monego uluw.
34 And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, becoming angry, he swore and said:
Kane Jehova Nyasaye owinjo gima ne uwacho, mirima nomake mi okwongʼore niya,
35 ‘None of the men of this wicked generation will see the good land, which I have promised by oath to your fathers,
“Onge ngʼama nitiere e tiengʼ mobamni manone piny maberni mane asingora ni nami kweregi,
36 except Caleb the son of Jephuneh. For he himself will see it, and I will give the land on which he has walked to him and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord.’
makmana Kaleb wuod Jefune. En ema none pinyno kendo anamiyego kaachiel gi nyikwaye kamoro amora ma tiende nonyon nikech osebedo koluwo Jehova Nyasaye gi chunye duto.”
37 Neither is his indignation with the people a wonder, since the Lord also became angry with me because of you, and so he said: ‘Neither will you enter into that place.
Nikech un, Jehova Nyasaye ne okecho koda mi owachona niya, “Ok inidonji e pinyno.”
38 But Joshua, the son of Nun, your minister, shall himself enter on your behalf. Exhort and strengthen this man, and he himself shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
To jalupni ma en Joshua wuod Nun ema nodonji e pinyno. Omiyo jiwe nikech en ema notelne jo-Israel duto ka kawo pinyno.
39 Your little ones, about whom you said that they would be led away as captives, and your sons, who to this day are ignorant of the difference between good and evil, they shall enter. And I will give the land to them, and they will possess it.
To jomatindo mane uwacho ni biro ter e twech, ma gin nyithindo ma ok ongʼeyo pogo ber kod rach, gin ema ginidonji e pinyno. Anamigi pinyno kendo ginikawe mi gidagie.
40 But as for you, turn back and go out to the wilderness, by way of the Red Sea.’
To un chakuru wuoth kudok chien e thim kuchomo Nam Makwar.
41 And you responded to me: ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will ascend and fight, just as the Lord our God has instructed.’ And having been equipped with weapons, when you were setting out for the mountain,
Eka ne udwoko niya, “Wasetimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Wabiro aa malo kendo kedo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa ochikowa.” Omiyo ji duto norwako gige lweny ka giparo ni en gima yot monjo piny godeno.
42 the Lord said to me: ‘Say to them: Do not ascend and do not fight. For I am not with you. Otherwise, you may fall in the sight of your enemies.’
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, Kwergi ni kik gidhi gikedi nimar ok anabed kodgi. Ibiro lowu gi wasiku.
43 I spoke, and you did not listen. But, opposing the order of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you ascended onto the mountain.
Ne awachonu kamano to ne ok unyal winjo. Ne ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mi ok uluwo chikene, kendo gi wich teko maru ne uwuotho ka udhi e piny mar gode.
44 And so, having gone forth, the Amorite, who was living in the mountains, came against you and pursued you, just as a swarm of bees would do. And he struck you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
Jo-Amor mane odak e pinje godego ne omonjou, mi gilawou ka kich ma ogodak kagi goyou chakre Seir nyaka Horma.
45 And when you returned and were weeping in the sight of the Lord, he would not hear you, nor was he willing to agree to your voice.
Ne udwogo ma uywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ne ok ochiko ite ne ywaku kendo ne ok owinjo kwayou.
46 Therefore, you camped at Kadesh-barnea for a long time.”
Omiyo ne udak Kadesh kuom kinde mangʼeny, adier kuom kinde mangʼeny ne udak kuno.
