Deuteronomy 4
1 “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH God of your fathers is giving to you.
Yaye, jo-Israel, winjuru buche kod chike ma amiyou, luwgi mondo udagi kendo mondo ukaw piny ma Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu miyou.
2 You do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you.
Kik umedi kata ugol gimoro amora kuom chik ma amiyou, to rituru chike ma amiyou mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
3 Your eyes are seeing that which YHWH has done in Ba‘al-Peor, for every man who has gone after Ba‘al-Peor, your God YHWH has destroyed him from your midst;
Ne uneno gi wengeu uwegi gima Jehova Nyasaye ne otimo Baal Peor. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu notieko koa kuomu jogo duto mane oluwo Baal mar Peor,
4 and you who are cleaving to your God YHWH [are] alive today—all of you.
to ne un uduto mane usiko kupadoru kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu pod ungima nyaka chil kawuono.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as my God YHWH has commanded me, to do so in the midst of the land to where you are going in to possess it;
Ne, asepuonjou buche kod chike kaka ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha nochika, mondo uluw chikenego e piny mudhidonjoe kendo kawo.
6 and you have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Surely a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.
Ritgiuru maber, nimar mano ema biro nyiso riekou gi ngʼeyou ni ogendini mamoko mabiro winjo buchegi duto wach niya, “Adier, onge oganda mariek kendo man-gi ngʼeyo koganda maduongʼni.”
7 For which [is] the great nation that has God [so] near to it, as our God YHWH, in all we have called to Him?
Ere oganda machielo ma ogen man kod nyasachgi machiegni e yo ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa chiegnigo kodwa e yo moro amora ma walame?
8 And which [is] the great nation which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you today?
Kara ere oganda machielo maduongʼ man kod buche gi chike makare machal gi chike mamiyou kawuononi?
9 Only, take heed to yourself, and watch your soul exceedingly, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all [the] days of your life; and you have made them known to your sons and to your sons’ sons.
Beduru motangʼ kendo neuru ni wiu ok owil gi gik museneno gi wangʼu kendo kik uwegi gia e chunyu ka pod ungima. Puonjuru nyithindu kod nyikwau wechegi.
10 [Never forget] the day when you have stood before your God YHWH in Horeb, in YHWH’s saying to me, Assemble the people to Me, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and they teach their sons;
Paruruane chiengʼ mane uchungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e Horeb, kane owachona niya, “Chok ji e nyima ka mondo giwinj wechena mondo mi gipuonjre luora ndalo duto mag ngimagi kendo bende gipuonj nyithindgi wechegi.”
11 and you draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire to the heart of the heavens, [with] darkness, cloud, and thick darkness,
Ne ubiro machiegni ma uchungʼ e tiend got. Godno mach ne liele mochopo nyaka e polo, ka en-gi rumbi maratengʼ kod mudho mandiwa.
12 and YHWH speaks to you out of the midst of the fire; you are hearing a voice of words, but you are seeing no likeness, only a voice;
Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne owuoyonu kokalo ei mach. Ne uwinjo dwol kawuok ei mach, to ne ok uneno ngʼat mane wuoyono, to makmana dwol kende ema nuwinjo.
13 and He declares His covenant to you, which He has commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments, and He writes them on two tablets of stone.
Ne owachonu singruokne, ma gin Chike Apar, mane ochikou mondo uluw kendo ne ondikogi e kite mopa ariyo.
14 And YHWH has commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land to where you are passing over to possess it.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona e kindeno mondo apuonju buche kod chike ma onego uluw e piny ma udhiye loka Jordan mondo ukaw.
15 And you have been very watchful of your souls, for you have not seen any likeness in the day of YHWH’s speaking to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
Ne ok uneno Jehova Nyasaye gi wangʼu e kinde mane uwinjo dwonde koa e mach e got Horeb. Omiyo beduru motangʼ ahinya,
16 lest you do corruptly, and have made for yourselves a carved image, a likeness of any figure: a form of male or female,
mondo kik ubed jo-mibadhi ka uloso nyisecheu uwegi, kata kido moro amora mochwe ka dichwo kata ka dhako,
17 a form of any beast which [is] in the earth, a form of any winged bird which flies in the heavens,
kata ka chiayo moro e piny kata ka winyo mafuyo e kor polo,
18 a form of any creeping thing on the ground, a form of any fish which [is] in the waters below the earth.
kata ka gimoro amora mochwe mamol e lowo kata ka rech manie pi.
19 And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and have seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to them and served them, which your God YHWH has apportioned to all the peoples under all the heavens.
Ka ungʼiyo polo ma uneno chiengʼ, dwe kod sulwe karieny (ma gin gigo manyiso duongʼ mar polo), to kik gimak pachu mi ukulrunegi ka ulamo. Gin gigo ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo jopinje duto manie piny bwo polo.
20 And YHWH has taken you, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people, an inheritance, as [at] this day.
To un, Jehova Nyasaye noresou mogolou e mach mager kuwuok e piny Misri mondo ubed kaka girkeni mare nyaka chiengʼ, mana kaka un sani.
21 And YHWH has showed Himself angry with me because of your words, and swears to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going into the good land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance;
Jehova Nyasaye nokecho koda nikech un, kendo ne okwongʼoreni ok anangʼad aora Jordan mondo adonji e piny maber ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou ka girkeni.
22 for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, but you are passing over and have possessed this good land.
Abiro tho e pinyni, ok anangʼad aora Jordan, to un uchiegni ngʼado mondo udhi ukaw kereu e piny maberno.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest you forget the covenant of your God YHWH which He has made with you, and have made a carved image for yourselves, a likeness of anything [concerning] which your God YHWH has charged you;
Beduru motangʼ mondo kik wiu wil gi singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu otimo kodu, kik ulos ne un uwegi kido moro amora milamo ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu okwero.
24 for your God YHWH is a consuming fire—a zealous God.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en mach matieko gik mowangʼo kendo en Nyasaye ma janyiego.
25 When you beget sons and sons’ sons, and you have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a carved image, a likeness of anything, and have done evil in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger,
Bangʼ ka usedak e pinyno kuom higni mangʼeny mi ubedo gi nyithindo kod nyikwau, bangʼe ubedo jo-mibadhi ma uloso kido mopa kendo utimo gik mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ka umiye mirima;
26 I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you this day, that you perish utterly quickly from off the land to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it; you do not prolong days on it, but are utterly destroyed;
to aluongo polo gi piny mondo obed joneno kuomu kawuono, ni ubiro rumo mapiyo nono e piny ma ubiro kawo loka Jordan.
27 and YHWH has scattered you among the peoples, and you have been left few in number among the nations to where YHWH leads you,
Jehova Nyasaye biro keyou e dier ogendini kendo ji manok kuomu ema notony e kind pinje ma Jehova Nyasaye noterue.
28 and you have served gods there, work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Kuno unulamie gik ma dhano oloso gi lwetgi, ma gin nyiseche molos gi bao kata gi kite mopa, gin gik ma ok nyal neno, winjo, chiemo kata winjo tik gimoro.
29 And you have sought your God YHWH from there, and have found [Him] when you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
To ka udwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kanyo, to unuyude ka umanye gi chunyu duto kod ngimau duto.
30 In the distress of yours, when all these things have found you in the latter end of the days, and you have turned back to your God YHWH and have listened to His voice—
Bangʼ ka gigi duto osetimorenu mi ubedo gi chuny mool, eka unuduog ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo uluore.
31 for your God YHWH [is] a merciful God—He does not fail you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn to them.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en Nyasaye ma jangʼwono ok enojwangʼu kata tiekou kata wiye wil kod singruok mane otimo gi kwereu kokwongʼore.
32 For ask now of the former days which have been before you, from the day that God created man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even to the [other] end of the heavens, whether there has been as this great thing, or [if anything] has been heard like it.
Penj ane sani gik mane timore chon, ndalo mane pok onywolu, kochakore e ndalo mane Nyasaye ochweyo dhano e piny; penj ane koa e bath polo konchiel nyaka komachielo. Bende gima duongʼ kama osetimore kata gima chal kama osewinji?
33 Has a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, you—and live?
Bende nitie oganda moro mosewinjo dwond Nyasaye kawuoyo e mach kaka usewinjoni ma obedo mangima?
34 Or has God tried to go in to take a nation for Himself from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that your God YHWH has done to you in Egypt before your eyes?
Bende nitiere nyasaye moro mosegolo oganda kuom oganda machielo moselok wasumbini? Koso bende nitiere moro mosetemo timo timbe madongogi gi ranyisi, honni gi lweny kendo gi teko maduongʼ kod bat morie kaka Jehova Nyasaye notimonu e piny Misri e wangʼu kuneno.
35 You—you have been shown [it], to know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else besides Him.
Osenyisu gigi duto mondo ungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye; onge Nyasaye moro ma ok en.
36 He has caused you to hear His voice from the heavens, to instruct you; and on earth He has showed you His great fire, and you have heard His words out of the midst of the fire.
Noyie uwinjo dwonde gie polo mond opuonjugo. Bende noyienu ma uneno mach makakni e piny, kendo nuwinjo dwonde ei majno.
37 And because that He has loved your fathers, He also fixes on their seed after them, and brings you out in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt,
Nikech ne ohero kwereu mi oyiero nyikwagi bangʼ-gi, ne ogolou Misri en owuon kod tekone maduongʼ,
38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you from your presence, to bring you in to give their land to you [for] an inheritance, as [at] this day.
mondo ogol oko ogendini maroteke moloyou, kokelou e pinygi mondo omiu bedo girkeni kaka en kawuononi.
39 And you have known today, and have turned [it] back to your heart, that He, YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below—there is none else;
Yie kendo ikaw odiechiengni obed ei chunyi ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye e polo malo kendo e piny mwalo. Onge Nyasaye moro machielo.
40 and you have kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you today, so that it is well for you, and for your sons after you, and so that you prolong days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you—all the days.”
Emomiyo rituru buchene kod chikene ma amiyou kawuono, mondo gik moko odhi maber kodu gi nyithindu kendo mondo udag amingʼa e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou e kinde duto e piny.
41 Then Moses separates three cities beyond the Jordan, toward the sun-rising,
Eka Musa noketo tenge mier adek madongo man yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan,
42 for the fleeing there of the manslayer who slays his neighbor unknowingly, and he is not hating him before, and he has fled to one of these cities and he has lived:
ma gin kuonde ma ka ngʼato onego wadgi ka ok ochano, to onyalo ringo dhi pondo kuondego mantie e miechgi madongo mondo ores ngimane.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, for the Reubenite; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite.
Mier madongo-go gin magi: Bezer manie pinje gode motwo, mano ne jo-Reuben; Ramoth ei Gilead, obed kar jo-Gad; kendo Golan ei Bashan obed mar jo-Manase.
44 And this [is] the law which Moses has set before the sons of Israel;
Ma e chik mane Musa omiyo jo-Israel.
45 these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel in their coming out of Egypt,
Magi e weche, buche kod chike mane Musa omiyogi kane giwuok Misri,
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have struck in their coming out of Egypt;
kane gin e holo machiegni gi Beth Peor man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, e piny Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane nigi loch Heshbon kendo ne oloye gi Musa kod jo-Israel kane giwuok Misri.
47 and they possess his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [toward] the sun-rising,
Negikawo pinye gi piny Og ruodh Bashan, mane gin gi ruodhi ariyo mag jo-Amor man loka yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan.
48 from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, even to Mount Zion, which [is] Hermon—
Pinyni nochakore Aroer koa e dier holo mar Arnon mochopo nyaka Got Siyon (tiende ni, Hermon),
49 and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the Sea of the Plain, below the Springs of Pisgah.
kendo nokawo gwenge mag Araba man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, mochopo nyaka Nam mar Araba mantiere e tiend gode mag Pisga.
