< Deuteronomy 9 >
1 Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
Yaye Israel, winjuru, uchiegni ngʼado Jordan ka udhi riembo oganda maduongʼ kendo maroteke moloyou, man-gi mier madongo ma ohingagi chopo nyaka e kor polo.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
Jo-Anak gin joma roteke kendo roboche! Usewinjo kiwuoyo kuomgi kiwacho niya, “Ere joma dichungʼ e nyim jo-Anak?”
3 Know therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
To beduru gigeno kawuono ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema dhi telo nyimu mana ka mach mawengʼo. Obiro tiekogi kendo obiro nyonogi mana ka uneno, kendo unuriembgi mi girum chutho mapiyo nono mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu oseriembogi oko e wangʼu ka uneno, to kik uwach e chunyu niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osekelowa ka mondo wakaw pinyni nikech timwa makare.” Ooyo en mana nikech timbe maricho mag ogendinigo emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye dhi riembogi ka uneno.
5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Ok nikech timu mabeyo kata lony maru emomiyo udhi kawo pinyno mondo obed maru; to mana nikech timbe maricho mag ogandagi ema miyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro riembogi oko e wangʼu mondo ochop gima nowachone kwereu ma Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo.
6 Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Ngʼeuru ni ok en nikech timu makare emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou piny maberni mondo ukaw, nimar kadier to un joma tokgi tek.
7 Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
Paruru wachni kendo kik wiu wil kaka ne ujimbo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye e thim. Kochakore chiengʼ mane uwuok Misri ma uchopo ka, usebedo mana ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
Kane un Horeb ne ujimbo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mane iye owangʼ modwaro tiekou.
9 When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Kane adhi e got mondo akaw chike mane ondiki e kite mopa, chike mag singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye otimo kodu, ne abet e got odiechienge piero angʼwen kod otieno piero angʼwen; kendo ne ok achiemo kata modho pi.
10 The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Jehova Nyasaye ne omiya kite ariyo ma ondiki gi lwet Nyasaye. Kuomgi ne ondiki e chike duto mane Jehova Nyasaye owachonu koa e mach mawuok e got, e odiechieng chokruok.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
Kane odichienge piero angʼwen kod otieno piero angʼwen oserumo, Jehova Nyasaye nomiya kite mopa ariyo, ma gin kite mag singruok.
12 The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Lor piny piyo piyo ia e got, nikech jogi mane igolo oa e piny Misri oselokore jo-mibadhi. Giseweyo mapiyo gik mane achikogi, kendo giseloso nyiseche mag kido.”
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya, “Aseneno jogi, kendo gin joma tokgi tek adier!
14 Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
We mondo atiekgi duto mondo agol nying-gi oko e wangʼ piny kae. Abiro miyo idok oganda maratego kendo mangʼeny moloyogi.”
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
Omiyo nalokora kendo alor kaa e got mane oyudo wangʼ. Kite mopa ariyo motingʼo winjruok ne nitie e lweta.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a moulded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
Kane angʼiyo ne aneno ni usetimo ketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; kendo useloso nyasaye mar kido ma olos ka nyaroya. Uselokoru piyo ma uweyo yo ma Jehova Nyasaye ne ochikou.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Omiyo ne akawo kite mopa mane ni e lweta mi adiro piny ma gitore matindo tindo e nyimu.
18 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
Eka ne achako ariera piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kuom ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno; ne ok achiemo kata modho pi, nikech richo duto mane utimo, ka utimo gik mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ka ujimbo mirimbe.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
Ne aluoro mirima kod kum mager mar Jehova Nyasaye, nimar mirima nomake ahinya mar tiekou. To kata kamano nowinjo ywakna kendo.
20 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Jehova Nyasaye ne iye owangʼ gi Harun mi odwaro tieke, to e kindeno ne alemone Harun bende.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
Bende ne akawo giru mar kethono, ma en kido mar nyaroya mane uloso, mine awangʼe e mach. Bangʼe ne atoye matindo tindo narege mayom kaka mogo, eka ne akire e aora mamol koa e got.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.
Bende ne umiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima ka un Tabera, Masa, kod Kibroth Hatava.
23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
Kendo kane Jehova Nyasaye ogolou Kadesh Barnea nowacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo ukaw piny ma asemiyou.” To ne ungʼanyo ne chike mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, ne ok ugeno kuome kata miye luor.
24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Usebedo ka ungʼanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto ma asengʼeyoue.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
Ne ariera piny ndalo piero angʼwen odiechiengʼ gotieno nikech Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni obiro tiekou.
26 I prayed to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Ne alamo Jehova Nyasaye kawacho niya, “Yaye Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, kik itiek jogigi, ma gin girkeni mari iwuon mane ireso gi badi maratego e piny Misri.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
Par jotichni ma gin Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo kendo kik ine wich teko margi, timbegi maricho kod richo mag-gi
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
Ka ok kamano to piny mane igolowa biro wacho ni, ‘Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal kawogi matergi e piny mane osesingonegi kendo nikech ne ok oherogi, to Jehova Nyasaye osetero joge e thim mondo otho kuno nikech osin kodgi.’
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
To ngʼe ni gin jogi owuon kendo ma girkeni mari mane igolo gi tekoni maduongʼ kod bat morie.”
