< Deuteronomy 6 >

1 “These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Magi e chike, buche kod weche ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochika mondo apuonju kendo uritgi e piny ma ungʼado aora Jordan mondo ukaw.
2 He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
Chikegi omiu mondo un, nyithindu kod nyikwau oluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e ndalo duto mag ngimau kurito buchene gi chikene ma amiyou mondo omi udag amingʼa gi mor.
3 So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
Winjuru, yaye Israel, kendo beduru motangʼ kurito chikena mondo omi umedru e piny ma opongʼ gi chak kod mor kich, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu nosingorenu.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
Winjuru, yaye jo-Israel, Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, en Jehova Nyasaye achiel.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
Her Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi gi chunyi duto kendo gi ngimani duto kendo gi tekoni duto.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
Chike mamiyou kawuono onego bed e chunyu.
7 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
Ketgi e chuny nyithindu, wuo e wechego ka un e dala, ka uwuotho e bath yo, ka unindo kata ka uchungʼ.
8 [Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
Twegiuru e ngʼut lweteu kaka ranyisi kendo bawgiuru e lela wengeu.
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Ndikgiuru ewi dhoutu kendo e rangeyeu.
10 “Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu okelou e piny mane osingore ne kwereu, ma Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo ni nomiu. En piny maduongʼ, man-gi mier madongo mane ok ugero,
11 He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
udi mopongʼ kod gik moko duto mabeyo, mane ok uloso, sokni ma ne ok ukunyo kod puothe mag mzabibu gi yiend zeituni mane ok upidho. Ka usechiemo muyiengʼ
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
to beduru motangʼ mondo kik wiu wil kod Jehova Nyasaye mane ogolou Misri; e piny mane unie wasumbini.
13 “You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
Luor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi, en kende ema itine ka ikwongʼori mana gi nyinge owuon.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
Kik uluw nyiseche mamoko ma gin nyiseche joma odak e dieru;
15 Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu modak e dieru en Nyasaye ma janyiego kendo mirimbe ochomou kendo obiro tiekou e wangʼ piny.
16 Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
Kik utem Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kaka ne uteme ka un Masa.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
Beduru gi adieri mar rito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, kaka omiyou e chikene kod buchene.
18 Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
Timuru gima nikare e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mondo udhi maber e yoreu, mi udonji kendo kaw piny maber mane Jehova Nyasaye osingore ne kwereu kokwongʼore,
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
ni obiro riembonu wasiku duto e dieru mana kaka ne Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
E kinde mabiro ka wuodi openji niya, “Weche, buche kod chike mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa omiyi, tiendgi en angʼo?”
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
To iwachne niya, “Ne wan wasumb Farao e piny Misri, to Jehova Nyasaye ne ogolowa Misri gi teko maduongʼ.
22 They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
Ne waneno gi wengewa kaka Jehova Nyasaye notimo honni kod ranyisi madongo ne jo-Misri kod Farao gi ode duto.
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
To ne ogolowa kuno kokelowa e piny mane osingore ne kwerewa kokwongʼore ni nomiwa.
24 And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
Jehova Nyasaye ne ochikowa mondo warit buchene duto kendo waluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa mondo wadhi maber ndalo duto mag ngimawa, mana kaka timorenwa kawuononi.
25 Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
Kendo ka warito chikegi adimba ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa kaka osechikowa, mano nobednwa kaka tim makare.”
