Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
“Wuo gi kanyakla mar Israel duto kendo inyisgi ni: ‘Beduru maler nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu aler.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
“‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka luor min gi wuon kendo nyaka urit Sabato maga. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
“‘Kik uluw bangʼ nyiseche manono, kendo kik ubed gi nyiseche mothedhi mag nyinyo. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
“‘Ka uchiwo misango mar lalruok ne Jehova Nyasaye, to timeuru e yo mowinjore ma Jehova Nyasaye oyiego.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
Misangono ibiro chame e odiechiengno muchiwee kata kinyne, to ringʼo mane odongʼ nyaka chiengʼ mar adek nyaka wangʼ e mach.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Ka lemo moro amora kuom ringʼoni ocham chiengʼ mar adek, to Jehova Nyasaye ok noyie kodu nikech en gima kwero.
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Ngʼato angʼata manocham ringʼono nokwan ka jaketho nikech osedwanyo kama ler mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ngʼatno nyaka ngʼad kare oko kuom ogandane.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
“‘Ka ukayo cham manie puotheu, to kik ugol cham duto nyaka manie giko puodho, kata kik uhul nyaka cham modongʼ.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Kupono olembeu mag mzabibu, to kik upon-gi duto, bende mago molwar piny kik ukwany. Mago weuru ni joma odhier kod jodak manie dieru. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
“‘Kik ikwal. “‘Kik iriambi. “‘Kik iwuond nyawadu.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
“‘Kik ikwongʼri gi miriambo ni ngʼato gi nyinga nimar kitimo kamano to ichayo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
“‘Kik ima wadu e yor wuond kata kik imaye gire. “‘Kik itamri chulo ngʼato kuom tich motiyoni kendo nyaka ichule mana godiechiengno.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
“‘Kik ikwongʼ ngʼama ite odino, kata kik iket gimoro e nyim muofu monyalo chwanyoree, luoruru Nyasachu. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
“‘Kik iketh buch ngʼato, to ngʼad bura kare ma kik idogne jachan kata luoro wangʼ ngʼama duongʼ, to ngʼadne wadu bura makare kichungʼ e adiera.
16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
“‘Kik iketh nying jowadu koni gi koni e yor kuoth, kendo kik ihangne jowadu wach ma ok nikare. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
“‘Kik ibwon owadu gi chunyi. Nyis wadu kethone e wangʼe, mondo kik iriwri kode e richone.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
“‘Kik idwar chulo kuor, kendo kik ibed ngʼama mon gi jowadgi, to her wadu kaka iherori iwuon. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
“‘Rituru yorena. “‘Kik uwe jamni mopogore opogore luwre ma nywol nyithindo. “‘Kik uriw kodhi e puodho achiel, kendo kik urwak nanga motwangʼ gi usi ariyo mopogore opogore.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
“‘Ka ngʼato oterore gi misumba ma nyako mapok okendi mosewinjore gi ngʼama onego kende, kata mapok omi thuolo mar dhi, to wachno nyaka none maber. Kik neg nyakono gi ngʼat moterore kodeno nikech pod en misumba.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
Ngʼat motimo kode tim makamanono nyaka kel im e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e dho Hemb Romo mondo timgo misango mar pwodhruok e ketho.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
Jadolo notim misango mar golo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye gi imno kuom pwodho ngʼatno e kethone, eka richo mosetimo nowene.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
“‘Ka udonjo e pinyno kendo upidho kit yiend olemo moro amora to ukwan olembene ka gik makwero. Kuom higni adek kik umul olembego kendo kik uchamgi.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
E higa mar angʼwen to olembege duto nobed maler, ma en chiwo mar pak ni Jehova Nyasaye.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
To e higa mar abich, unyalo chamo olembege. Kuom mano keyo magu nomedre. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
26 ‘Do not eat any meat that still has [the animal’s] blood in it. ‘Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
“‘Kik ucham ringʼo motimo remo. “‘Kik ukor wach kata kik ubed ajuoke mag nyakalondo.
27 ‘Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads [like pagan people do].
“‘Kik utit yie wiu kata kik utit yie tiku.
28 ‘Do not cut your bodies [when you are mourning] for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
“‘Kik usar dendu kuywago ngʼama otho, kendo kik usar kido moro amora e dendu. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
29 ‘Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people’s wicked behavior.
“‘Kik utime timbe manyalo miyo nyiu bed jochode, nikech mano nyalo kethonu piny makel richo mangʼeny.
30 ‘Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
“‘Rituru Sabato maga kendo kama ler mar lemo mara nyaka umi luor mowinjore. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].
“‘Kik udhi upenj wach kuom jo-nyakalondo kata kuom ajuoke mamoko, nikech timo kamano biro miyo ubedo mogak. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
32 ‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
“‘Nyaka ichiw luor kichungone jaduongʼ ma wiye oti lwar kendo uluor Nyasachu. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
“‘Ka japiny moro odak e dieru, to kik usande.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
Japiny moro modak e dieruno nyaka udag kode mana kaka wuodu. Hereuru mana kaka uheroru uwegi nikech ne un jodak e piny Misri. An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
“‘Kik uti gi rapim ma ok nikare ka upimo bor kata pek mar gimoro kata kupimo ngʼeny mare.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
Tiuru gi rapim ma ok riambi kendo mapimo gimoro makare. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane ogolou e piny Misri.
37 ‘Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws and decrees, because I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding them].’”
“‘Rituru yorena duto kod chikena kendo uluwgi. An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
