Deuteronomy 19
1 “When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembo kendo otieko ogendini ma omiyou pinygi ma udakie,
2 you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
to yieruru kendo uket tenge mier madongo adek man e dier pinyno ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou mondo ukaw.
3 You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
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 matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
Ma e chik moketi ne ngʼama onego wadgi kobothne kendo ok ongʼeyo mi oringo odhi kanyo mondo ores ngimane.
5 even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
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 redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
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 am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
Ma emomiyo achikou mondo uket tenge mier adekgo ne un uwegi.
8 And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omedo tongʼ mar pinyu, kaka nosingore kokwongʼore ni kwereu, ni obiro miyou pinyni duto kaka nosingorenegi,
9 when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself 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 and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
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 And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
Ka ngʼato ok dwar wadgi mobutone kokiye kendo mi otho bangʼe oringo kodhi e mier madongo mag tonygi,
12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
to jodong gwengʼno nyaka ome maduoge ka gole e dala maduongʼno mondo gichiwe e lwet joma chulo kuor mondo onege.
13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
Kik utimne ngʼwono, kendo nyaka ugol e dier jo-Israel richo mar chwero remb ngʼat maonge ketho, eka unudhi maber.
14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
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 does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing 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 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
Ka janeno ma ja-miriambo ochungʼ mondo odonjne ja-mahundu,
17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are 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 have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
Jongʼad bura nyaka non wachno malongʼo, to ka janeno oyud ni ja-miriambo kochiwo neno maonge adier ewi owadgi,
19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
to timne mana kaka ne odwa timo ne owadgi kendo nyaka ugol tim marachno e dieru.
20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
Ji modongʼ nowinj wachni mi nobed maluor kendo tim mamonono ok nochak otimre kendo e dieru.
21 And your eye does not pity—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.
