Deuteronomy 31
1 And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.
Eka Musa nodhi mowuoyo ne jo-Israel kowacho niya,
2 And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’
“Koro sani an ja-higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo kendo koro ok anyal dhi nyime gi telonu. Jehova Nyasaye osewachona ni, ‘Ok iningʼad Jordan.’
3 Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu owuon biro telo e nyimu. Enotiek dhout pinjego duto kendo unukaw pinjegigo duto. Omiyo Joshua notelnu mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
4 And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.
Jehova Nyasaye notimnegi mana gima ne otimone Sihon kod Og, ruodhi ma jo-Amor kaachiel gi pinjegi.
5 Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.
Jehova Nyasaye nochiwgi e lwetu to nyaka utimnegi gik moko duto ma asechikou.
6 Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”
Beduru gi chir kendo motegno. Kik uluorgi kendo kik gimi chunyu nyosre, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro dhi kodu; ok enoweu kata jwangʼou.”
7 And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.
Eka Musa noluongo Joshua ma owuoyone e nyim jo-Israel duto niya, “Bed motegno kendo ma jachir, nimar nyaka idhi gi jogi e piny mane Jehova Nyasaye osingore ne kweregi ni nomigi kendo nyaka ipog-gi kaka girkeni margi.
8 And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”
Jehova Nyasaye owuon biro dhi nyimu kendo nobed kodu, ok noweu kata jwangʼou. Kik ubed maluor, bende kik chuny nyosre.”
9 And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.
Kuom mano Musa nondiko chikegi mi omiyogi jodolo, ma yawuot Lawi, mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok Jehova Nyasaye. Jodong Israel bende nomi chikego.
10 And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,
Eka Musa nomiyogi chik niya, “E giko mar higa mar abiriyo ka mar abiriyo, ma en higa mar weyo gope, ma bende en kinde mar Sawo mar kiche,
11 when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.
ka jo-Israel duto obiro mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kama obiro yiero, nyaka usomnegi chikegi.
12 And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,
Chokuru ji, chwo, mon kod nyithindo kaachiel gi jopinje mamoko modak e miechu mondo giwinj chikego eka mondo giwinj kendo gipuonjre luoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo girit wechene duto maber.
13 and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”
Nyithindgi ma ok ongʼeyo chikni nyaka winji mondo opuonjre luoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ndalo ma udakgo e piny ma ubiro kawo ka usengʼado aora Jordan.”
14 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa niya, “Ndaloni mar tho koro chiegni. Omiyo biuru gi Joshua mondo uchungʼ e dho Hemb Romo kama abiro miye tich.” Eka Musa kod Joshua nobiro mochungʼ e dho Hemb Romo.
15 And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ka siro e rumbi, kendo rumbi nochungʼ e dhood Hema.
16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa niya, “Ka isetho to jogi biro dwanyore gi nyiseche mamoko manie piny ma udonjoe, kendo gibiro jwangʼa ma giwe singruok mane atimo kodgi.
17 And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’
Odiechiengno anabed gi mirima kodgi mi ajwangʼ-gi, abiro pandonegi wangʼa kendo enotiekgi. Gik mamono kendo maricho notimrenegi kendo odiechiengno ginipenjre ni, ‘Donge masiragi osebiro nikech Nyasachwa ok nikodwa?’
18 But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
Odiechiengno anapand wangʼa nikech timbegi mamono ma gisebedo ka gitimo mar lamo nyiseche mamoko.
19 And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.
“Kuom mano koro ndikni wendni kendo ipuonj jo-Israel kaka iwere mondo wendno obednegi janeno e kinda kodgi.
20 For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.
Ka asekelogi e piny ma opongʼ gi chak kod mor kich, ma en piny mane asingora kakwongʼora ne kweregi, kendo ka gisemetho ma gibedo gi mor, to ginidogi ir nyiseche mamoko ma gilamgi, kagiweya kendo ketho singruokna.
21 And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”
Ka masiche mangʼeny kod chandruok otimorenegi, to wendni nobed janeno e kinda kodgi, nimar wachni nyikwagi wigi ok nowilgo. Angʼeyo gima giikore mar timo, kata kane pok akelogi e piny mane asingonegi kakwongʼora.”
22 Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
Kuom mano Musa nondiko wendno chiengʼno mopuonje jo-Israel.
23 And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”
Jehova Nyasaye ne ochiko Joshua wuod Nun niya, “Bed motegno kendo ma jachir, nimar inikel jo-Israel e piny mane asingoranegi kakwongʼora ni anamigi kendo an awuon nabed kodi.”
24 Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,
Kane Musa osetieko ndiko wechegi e kitabu manie chik koa e chakruok nyaka giko,
25 he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:
chikni ne omiyo jo-Lawi mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
26 “Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.
Nowachonegi niya, “Kaw Kitabu mar Chikegi mondo ikete but Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Kitabuni nodongʼ kaka janeno e kinda kodu.
27 For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?
Angʼeyo ni un jongʼanyo ma wigi tek. Kaka usebedo ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye kapod angima kendo an kodu, to koro unungʼany marom nade bangʼ kasetho.
28 Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.
Choknauru jodongo mag ogandau to gi jotendu duto, mondo awuo e wechegi e itgi kendo mondo aluong polo gi piny obedna janeno kuomgi.
29 For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”
Nimar angʼeyo ni bangʼ thona an gi adiera ni udhi bedo jo-mibadhi mi unuwe yore mane achikou. E ndalo mabiro masira nomaku nikech unutim richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo unujimb mirimbe gi gik ma lwetu oseloso.”
30 Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.
Kuom mano Musa nosomo weche manie wendni kochake nyaka otieke ka oganda jo-Israel ochokore:
