< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 No man whose genitals have been damaged or cut off is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
Ngʼat ma nyangetane otore kata ma duongʼne ongʼad oko kik donj e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
2 No one of mixed race is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, and none of his descendants may do so either, up to the tenth generation.
Ngʼat ma onywol e kend ma ok nikare kata nyikwaye ok onego odonji e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka tiengʼ mar apar.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, up to the tenth generation.
Jo-Amon kata jo-Moab kata achiel kuom nyikwaye ok onego odonj e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka e tiengʼ mar apar,
4 For they did not come to meet you with food and water on your journey from Egypt, and they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you.
nikech ne ok giromonu e yo gi makati kod pi kane uwuok Misri, kendo negichulo Balaam wuod Beor modak Pethor manie Aram-Naharaim nengo mondo okwongʼu.
5 But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. The Lord your God turned what was meant to be a curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.
Kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ne ok owinjo Balaam mine omiyo kwongʼno olokore gweth ne un nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oherou.
6 Don't arrange a peace treaty with them or help them out as long as you live.
Kik udwar winjruok e kindu kodgi e ndalo duto mag ngimau.
7 Don't look down on an Edomite, for they are your relatives. Don't look down on an Egyptian either, because you lived as foreigners in their country.
Kik ubed gi achaya e kindu gi jo-Edom nimar gin oweteu. Kik ukwed jo-Misri nikech ne udak e pinygi ka wasumbini.
8 The third generation of their children are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
Tiengʼ-gi mar adek ma ginywolo nyalo donjo e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
9 When you are in an army camp during a war with your enemies, make sure you avoid anything wrong.
Ka ugoyo agengʼa ne wasiku, keturu mabor gik ma olil.
10 Any man there who becomes unclean because of a release of semen must leave the camp and remain outside.
Ka ngʼato achiel kuom jou ogak nikech kothe mar nyodo owuok apoya koleko, to nyaka owuogi oko mar kambi mondo obed kuno.
11 Towards the end of the day he must wash himself with water, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
To ka ochopo odhiambo nyaka olwokre eka oduogi e kambi ka chiengʼ podho.
12 Choose a place outside the camp to be used as a toilet.
Weuru kamoro oko mar kambi ma unyalo dhi losorue,
13 You need to have a spade as part of your equipment so that you can dig a hole, and then when you're finished you can cover up your excrement.
kendo kudhi losoru kanyo, to beduru gi kwer, ukunygo bur, mi ka uselosoru to uiko.
14 The Lord your God is present with you in your camp to keep you safe and to defeat your enemies. Your camp must be kept holy, because if he sees anything unclean among you and he will leave you.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu wuotho e dieru e kambi ka ritou kendo mondo ochiw wasiku e lwetu. Kambi maru nyaka bed maler mondo kik one gima rach ma oweu.
15 Don't send a slave back to their master if they have come to you for protection.
Ka misumba obiro mopondo iru kik udwoke ne ruodhe.
16 Let the slave live in your country wherever they want, in whatever town they want. Don't mistreat them.
Yie mondo odak kama ohero e dieru kata e miechu. Kik ukete e tij achune.
17 No Israelite women or men are to be cult prostitutes.
Onge ja-Israel madichwo kata madhako manobed jachode ei hekalu.
18 Don't bring into the house of the Lord your God any money from a prostitute, whether a woman or a man, using it to fulfill a promise to the Lord, for both are offensive to the Lord your God.
Kik ukel sitadi mar jachode madhako kata madichwo e od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mondo ochul nengo mar kwongʼruok nimar gik moko ariyogo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mon godo.
19 Don't charge a fellow Israelite interest on money, food, or any other kind of loan.
Kik imi ja-Israel wadu chuli gi ohala kuom gima oholo bedni en pesa kata chiemo kata gimoro amora monego gol ohala.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not an Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do in the country that you are going in to occupy.
Inyalo kawo ohala kuom japiny moro to ok owadu ma ja-Israel mondo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ogwedhu e gimoro amora ma uketoe lwetu mar timo e piny mudhikawo mondo obed maru.
21 If you make a promise to the Lord your God, don't be slow in keeping it, because he will definitely demand that you fulfill it and you will be guilty of sin if you don't.
Ka ukwongʼoru ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, to kik ubadhru chule, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro bandhou wachno ma ubed joketho.
22 If you don't make such promises then you won't be guilty of sin.
To ka ok ukwongʼoru to ok unubed joketho.
23 But make sure to carry out what you've said to the Lord your God, because it was you who freely chose to make such a promise.
Gimoro amora ma dhogi owacho nyaka itim, nimar ne ukwongʼoru kendu ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu gi dhou uwegi.
24 When you walk through your neighbor's vineyard, you can eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not collect any to take with you.
Ka idonjo e puoth olemo mar wadu, inyalo chamo olemb mzabibu duto ma idwaro, to kik itingʼ moko ei okapu idhigo.
25 When you walk through your neighbor's grainfield, you may pick the ears of grain with your hand, but you must not use a sickle to harvest it.
Ka idonjo e puoth cham mar wadu, to inyalo jako wiye cham gi lweti, kendo kik ika cham mochungʼ.
