Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests and Levites, and all that are of the same tribe, shall have no part nor inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord, and his oblations,
Jodolo, magin jo-Lawi, adier oganda duto mawuok e dhood Lawi ok noyud pokgi kata girkeni gi jo-Israel. Gibiro dak kuom chiwo motimne Jehova Nyasaye gi mach, nimar mano e pokgi.
2 And they shall receive nothing else. of the possession of their brethren: for the Lord himself is their inheritance, as he hath said to them.
Ok ginibed gi pok e kind jowetegi, nimar Jehova Nyasaye e pok margi mana kaka nosesingorenegi.
3 This shall be the priest’s due from the people, and from them that offer victims: whether they sacrifice an ox, or a sheep, they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast:
Pok mowinjore jodolo kaw kuom misango mar rwath kod rombo ma ji ochiwo gin lemo mar bat, ring lemb kod chino.
4 The firstfruits also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and a part of the wool from the shearing of their sheep.
Onego umigi keyo mokwongo mag puotheu kaka cham, divai manyien, gi mo kod yie rombe mukwongo ngʼado,
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him of all thy tribes, to stand and to minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseyierogi kod nyikwagi kagiwuok e dhoutu duto mondo gichungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka gitiyone kinde duto.
6 If a Levite go out of any one of the cities throughout all Israel, in which he dwelleth, and have a longing mind to come to the place which the Lord shall choose,
Ka ja-Lawi odhiyo e dalau moro amora e Israel modakie, kendo obiro gi dembruok kama Jehova Nyasaye biro yiero,
7 He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord.
to onyalo timo tich dolo e nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache mana kaka jo-Lawi mamoko matiyo kanyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
8 He shall receive the same portion of food that the rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
Onego oyud pok maromre kodgi, kata obedo ni oseyudo pok makore koa e ndalo wuon-gi.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of those nations.
Ka udonjo e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou, kik upuonjru timbe mamono mag ogendini man kuno.
10 Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard,
Kik yud ngʼato kuomu matimo misango gi wuode kata nyare e kendo, kata matimo timbe nyakalondo, kata jwok, kata loko dhoch kata ido,
11 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
kata jo-nyakalondo kata ajwoga kata ngʼat matiyo gi lang chunje maricho.
12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
Ngʼato angʼata matimo gik ma kamagi mono gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo nikech timbe mamonogi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro riembo ogendini e nyimu.
13 Thou shalt be perfect, and without spot before the Lord thy God.
Nyaka ubed maonge ketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
14 These nations, whose land thou shalt possess, hearken to soothsayers and diviners: but thou art otherwise instructed by the Lord thy God.
Pinje ma ubiro kawo winjo rieko mag ajuoke nyakalondo, to un Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ok oyienu timo kamano.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear:
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro miyou janabi machal koda kowuok e dier oweteu, nyaka uwinje.
16 As thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and saidst: Let me not hear any more the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see any more this exceeding great fire, lest I die.
Nikech ma e gima ne upenjo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e got Horeb e chiengʼ chokruok kane uwacho niya, “Kik wawinj dwond Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kata neno mach makakni kama dipo ka watho.”
17 And the Lord said to me: They have spoken all things well.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Gima giwachono nikare.”
18 I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Abiro miyogi janabi machal kodi moa kuom owetegi, abiro keto wechena e dhoge kendo obiro nyisogi gik moko duto ma achikogi.
19 And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.
Ka ngʼato ok owinjo wechena ma janabino hulo e nyinga, to an awuon ema natere e bura.
20 But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.
To janabi mahedhore wacho wach moro amora e nyinga ma ok anyise ni mondo owachi kata janabi ma wuoyo e nying nyiseche mamoko nyaka negi.
21 And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
Unyalo wacho e kindu uwegi niya, “Ere kaka wanyalo ngʼeyo ni wach mowachno oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye?”
22 Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.
Ka gima janabi owachono ok otimore kata ochopo kare, to mano en wach ma Jehova Nyasaye ok owacho. Janabino rodho arodha wach, kik uluore.
