Deuteronomy 4
1 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them, that you may live and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives 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 shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Kik umedi kata ugol gimoro amora kuom chik ma amiyou, to rituru chike ma amiyou mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed all the men who followed Baal Peor from among you.
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 But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today.
to ne un uduto mane usiko kupadoru kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu pod ungima nyaka chil kawuono.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go 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 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who shall hear all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
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 what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as the LORD our God is whenever we call on 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 What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?
Kara ere oganda machielo maduongʼ man kod buche gi chike makare machal gi chike mamiyou kawuononi?
9 Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
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 the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
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 You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, 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 The LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard 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 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.
Ne owachonu singruokne, ma gin Chike Apar, mane ochikou mondo uluw kendo ne ondikogi e kite mopa ariyo.
14 The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go 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 Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle 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 corrupt yourselves, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
mondo kik ubed jo-mibadhi ka uloso nyisecheu uwegi, kata kido moro amora mochwe ka dichwo kata ka dhako,
17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
kata ka chiayo moro e piny kata ka winyo mafuyo e kor polo,
18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under 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 sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
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 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.
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 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives 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 but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
Abiro tho e pinyni, ok anangʼad aora Jordan, to un uchiegni ngʼado mondo udhi ukaw kereu e piny maberno.
23 Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden 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 the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en mach matieko gik mowangʼo kendo en Nyasaye ma janyiego.
25 When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight 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 call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.
to aluongo polo gi piny mondo obed joneno kuomu kawuono, ni ubiro rumo mapiyo nono e piny ma ubiro kawo loka Jordan.
27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will lead you away.
Jehova Nyasaye biro keyou e dier ogendini kendo ji manok kuomu ema notony e kind pinje ma Jehova Nyasaye noterue.
28 There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither 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 But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after 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 When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice.
Bangʼ ka gigi duto osetimorenu mi ubedo gi chuny mool, eka unuduog ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo uluore.
31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore 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 days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or 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 Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Bende nitie oganda moro mosewinjo dwond Nyasaye kawuoyo e mach kaka usewinjoni ma obedo mangima?
34 Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for 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 It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. There is no one else besides him.
Osenyisu gigi duto mondo ungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye; onge Nyasaye moro ma ok en.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.
Noyie uwinjo dwonde gie polo mond opuonjugo. Bende noyienu ma uneno mach makakni e piny, kendo nuwinjo dwonde ei majno.
37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
Nikech ne ohero kwereu mi oyiero nyikwagi bangʼ-gi, ne ogolou Misri en owuon kod tekone maduongʼ,
38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.
mondo ogol oko ogendini maroteke moloyou, kokelou e pinygi mondo omiu bedo girkeni kaka en kawuononi.
39 Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the LORD himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one 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 You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God gives you for all time.
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 set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,
Eka Musa noketo tenge mier adek madongo man yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan,
42 that the man slayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally and didn’t hate him in time past, and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
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 plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
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 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Ma e chik mane Musa omiyo jo-Israel.
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the children of Israel when they came 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 Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came 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 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
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 on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Zion (also called Hermon),
Pinyni nochakore Aroer koa e dier holo mar Arnon mochopo nyaka Got Siyon (tiende ni, Hermon),
49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
kendo nokawo gwenge mag Araba man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan, mochopo nyaka Nam mar Araba mantiere e tiend gode mag Pisga.
