Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
Eka Musa nodhi mowuoyo ne jo-Israel kowacho niya,
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
“Koro sani an ja-higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo kendo koro ok anyal dhi nyime gi telonu. Jehova Nyasaye osewachona ni, ‘Ok iningʼad Jordan.’
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu owuon biro telo e nyimu. Enotiek dhout pinjego duto kendo unukaw pinjegigo duto. Omiyo Joshua notelnu mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
Jehova Nyasaye notimnegi mana gima ne otimone Sihon kod Og, ruodhi ma jo-Amor kaachiel gi pinjegi.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
Jehova Nyasaye nochiwgi e lwetu to nyaka utimnegi gik moko duto ma asechikou.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
Beduru gi chir kendo motegno. Kik uluorgi kendo kik gimi chunyu nyosre, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro dhi kodu; ok enoweu kata jwangʼou.”
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
Eka Musa noluongo Joshua ma owuoyone e nyim jo-Israel duto niya, “Bed motegno kendo ma jachir, nimar nyaka idhi gi jogi e piny mane Jehova Nyasaye osingore ne kweregi ni nomigi kendo nyaka ipog-gi kaka girkeni margi.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
Jehova Nyasaye owuon biro dhi nyimu kendo nobed kodu, ok noweu kata jwangʼou. Kik ubed maluor, bende kik chuny nyosre.”
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
Kuom mano Musa nondiko chikegi mi omiyogi jodolo, ma yawuot Lawi, mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok Jehova Nyasaye. Jodong Israel bende nomi chikego.
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
Eka Musa nomiyogi chik niya, “E giko mar higa mar abiriyo ka mar abiriyo, ma en higa mar weyo gope, ma bende en kinde mar Sawo mar kiche,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
ka jo-Israel duto obiro mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kama obiro yiero, nyaka usomnegi chikegi.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
Chokuru ji, chwo, mon kod nyithindo kaachiel gi jopinje mamoko modak e miechu mondo giwinj chikego eka mondo giwinj kendo gipuonjre luoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo girit wechene duto maber.
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Nyithindgi ma ok ongʼeyo chikni nyaka winji mondo opuonjre luoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ndalo ma udakgo e piny ma ubiro kawo ka usengʼado aora Jordan.”
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa niya, “Ndaloni mar tho koro chiegni. Omiyo biuru gi Joshua mondo uchungʼ e dho Hemb Romo kama abiro miye tich.” Eka Musa kod Joshua nobiro mochungʼ e dho Hemb Romo.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ka siro e rumbi, kendo rumbi nochungʼ e dhood Hema.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa niya, “Ka isetho to jogi biro dwanyore gi nyiseche mamoko manie piny ma udonjoe, kendo gibiro jwangʼa ma giwe singruok mane atimo kodgi.
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
Odiechiengno anabed gi mirima kodgi mi ajwangʼ-gi, abiro pandonegi wangʼa kendo enotiekgi. Gik mamono kendo maricho notimrenegi kendo odiechiengno ginipenjre ni, ‘Donge masiragi osebiro nikech Nyasachwa ok nikodwa?’
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
Odiechiengno anapand wangʼa nikech timbegi mamono ma gisebedo ka gitimo mar lamo nyiseche mamoko.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
“Kuom mano koro ndikni wendni kendo ipuonj jo-Israel kaka iwere mondo wendno obednegi janeno e kinda kodgi.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
Ka asekelogi e piny ma opongʼ gi chak kod mor kich, ma en piny mane asingora kakwongʼora ne kweregi, kendo ka gisemetho ma gibedo gi mor, to ginidogi ir nyiseche mamoko ma gilamgi, kagiweya kendo ketho singruokna.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
Ka masiche mangʼeny kod chandruok otimorenegi, to wendni nobed janeno e kinda kodgi, nimar wachni nyikwagi wigi ok nowilgo. Angʼeyo gima giikore mar timo, kata kane pok akelogi e piny mane asingonegi kakwongʼora.”
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
Kuom mano Musa nondiko wendno chiengʼno mopuonje jo-Israel.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
Jehova Nyasaye ne ochiko Joshua wuod Nun niya, “Bed motegno kendo ma jachir, nimar inikel jo-Israel e piny mane asingoranegi kakwongʼora ni anamigi kendo an awuon nabed kodi.”
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
Kane Musa osetieko ndiko wechegi e kitabu manie chik koa e chakruok nyaka giko,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
chikni ne omiyo jo-Lawi mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
Nowachonegi niya, “Kaw Kitabu mar Chikegi mondo ikete but Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Kitabuni nodongʼ kaka janeno e kinda kodu.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
Angʼeyo ni un jongʼanyo ma wigi tek. Kaka usebedo ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye kapod angima kendo an kodu, to koro unungʼany marom nade bangʼ kasetho.
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
Choknauru jodongo mag ogandau to gi jotendu duto, mondo awuo e wechegi e itgi kendo mondo aluong polo gi piny obedna janeno kuomgi.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
Nimar angʼeyo ni bangʼ thona an gi adiera ni udhi bedo jo-mibadhi mi unuwe yore mane achikou. E ndalo mabiro masira nomaku nikech unutim richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo unujimb mirimbe gi gik ma lwetu oseloso.”
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Kuom mano Musa nosomo weche manie wendni kochake nyaka otieke ka oganda jo-Israel ochokore:
