Deuteronomy 19
1 When Jehovah thy God hath cut off the nations whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their cities and in their houses,
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembo kendo otieko ogendini ma omiyou pinygi ma udakie,
2 thou shalt separate three cities for thyself in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess.
to yieruru kendo uket tenge mier madongo adek man e dier pinyno ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou mondo ukaw.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide the territory of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, so that every slayer may flee thither.
Geruru yore kuno kendo upog piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou ka girkenino nyadidek, mondo ka ngʼato onego dhano to oring odhi otony kuno.
4 And this is the case of the slayer who shall flee thither that he may live: he that smiteth his neighbour unwittingly, whom he hated not previously;
Ma e chik moketi ne ngʼama onego wadgi kobothne kendo ok ongʼeyo mi oringo odhi kanyo mondo ores ngimane.
5 as when he goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron slippeth from the handle, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; such an one shall flee unto one of these cities, and live;
Kuom ranyisi ngʼato nyalo dhi kod nyawadgi e bungu mondo gitongʼ yien kendo kongʼayo leye malo mondo otongʼ-go yien, to wi le nyalo bwodhore ma tongʼ ngʼatno manege, ngʼatni nyaka ring dhi e mier mag pondogi mondo ores ngimane.
6 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, since he hated him not previously.
Ka ok kamano to jachul kuor nyalo lawe gi mirima ma juke kakanyo ochwalore, kendo nege kata obedo ni ok owinjore gi tho, nimar notimorene ka ok en-gi paro mar timo mano.
7 Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thyself.
Ma emomiyo achikou mondo uket tenge mier adekgo ne un uwegi.
8 And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omedo tongʼ mar pinyu, kaka nosingore kokwongʼore ni kwereu, ni obiro miyou pinyni duto kaka nosingorenegi,
9 (if thou keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in his ways continually), then shalt thou add three cities more for thyself to these three,
kendo ka uluwo adimba chike duto ma amiyou kawuono mondo uher Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mi uwuotho e yorene ndalo duto, to nyaka umed yiero mier adek madongo kuom mago.
10 that innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and blood come not upon thee.
Timuru ma mondo remo maonge ketho kik chwer e pinyu, ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka girkeni mondo kik ubed joketho kuom chwero remo.
11 But if a man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and he flee into one of these cities,
Ka ngʼato ok dwar wadgi mobutone kokiye kendo mi otho bangʼe oringo kodhi e mier madongo mag tonygi,
12 then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
to jodong gwengʼno nyaka ome maduoge ka gole e dala maduongʼno mondo gichiwe e lwet joma chulo kuor mondo onege.
13 Thine eye shall not spare him; and thou shalt put away innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with thee.
Kik utimne ngʼwono, kendo nyaka ugol e dier jo-Israel richo mar chwero remb ngʼat maonge ketho, eka unudhi maber.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have fixed in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess.
Ka udak e lowo mubiro yudo e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dwaro miyou mondo ukaw kaka girkeni maru, to kik ngʼato kuomu keth kiewo mane kwereu oketo e kind ngʼato gi wadgi.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
Wach janeno achiel kende ok nyal mi ngʼadne ngʼato bura kuom ketho moro kata richo moro motimo. To wach mantie e kind ji nyaka ngʼere malongʼo ka nitiere joneno ariyo kata adek.
16 If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of an offence;
Ka janeno ma ja-miriambo ochungʼ mondo odonjne ja-mahundu,
17 then both the men between whom the controversy is shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days;
to ji ariyo ma laroregi nyaka chungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka jodolo kod jongʼad bura manie tich e kindeno nitie.
18 and the judges shall make thorough inquiry; and if the witness be a false witness, and he have testified falsely against his brother,
Jongʼad bura nyaka non wachno malongʼo, to ka janeno oyud ni ja-miriambo kochiwo neno maonge adier ewi owadgi,
19 then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto his brother; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
to timne mana kaka ne odwa timo ne owadgi kendo nyaka ugol tim marachno e dieru.
20 And those that remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in thy midst.
Ji modongʼ nowinj wachni mi nobed maluor kendo tim mamonono ok nochak otimre kendo e dieru.
21 And thine eye shall not spare: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Kik ibed gi tim ngʼwono, to chul ngʼato ngima kar ngima, wangʼ kar wangʼ, lak kar lak, lwedo kar lwedo, kendo tielo kar tielo.
