Rapar Mar Chik 17

1 Kik itim misango ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi gi rwath kata gi rombo man-gi songa kata mbala, nimar mano en gima kwero e nyime.

“You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination to the Lord your God.

2 Ka dichwo kata dhako modak e dieru e achiel kuom dalane ma Jehova Nyasaye omiyou oyud katimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo koketho singruokne,

When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,

3 mopogore gi chikena molamo nyiseche mamoko, kokulorenegi, bed ni en chiengʼ, dwe kata sulwe marieny e kor polo.

so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,

4 Ka wachni okel e nyimu, to nyaka unon tiende malongʼo. Ka unono wachni ma uyudo ni gima kwerono otimore e Israel adier,

and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being done in Israel:

5 to goluru dichwono kata dhakono mosetimo gima mononi e dhorangach mar dala maduongʼ kendo mondo uchiele gi kite nyaka otho.

you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.

6 Kik ungʼadne ngʼato buch tho ka nitie mana janeno achiel kende, to ngʼadne ngʼato buch tho ka nitie joneno ariyo kata adek.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.

7 Lwet jonenogo ema onego okuong ogoye motho, bangʼe eka joma moko nogoye. Nyaka ugol tim marachno oa e dieru.

First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.

8 Kokel buche matek e dieru ma ok unyal ngʼado, bedni gin buche mag nek, larruok kata mag goruok, to tergiuru kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro yiero.

If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.

9 Dhiuru ir jodolo magin jo-Lawi kendo kuom jangʼad bura manie tich sano. Nonuru wach kuomgi kendo gini ngʼadnu bura.

And you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.

10 Gima giwachonu kama Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro yierono ema nyaka utim.

And you shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,

11 Nyaka une ni utimo mana kaka giwachonu ma ok uweyo kata matin. Kik ukwan ka nono gik ma giwachonu.

in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.

12 Ngʼato monyiso wich teko ne jangʼad bura kata ne jadolo ma ochungʼ kanyo kachiwo weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nyaka negi kendo nyaka ugol tim mamono e dier jo-Israel.

But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take away the evil from Israel.

13 Ji duto biro winjo kendo nobed maluor bende ok ginichak gibed gi wich teko.

And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.

14 Ka udonjo e piny ma ruoth ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou, mi ukawe kendo udakie ma uwacho niya, “We waket ruodhwa mana kaka ogendini moluorowa,”

When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’

15 to neuru ni uyiero ruoth ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema ochiwo, kendo nyaka obed achiel kuom oweteu, kik uket ngʼat machielo, ma ok en ja-Israel wadu.

you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.

16 To ruoth ok onego obed gi farese mangʼeny kata chuno ji mondo odog Misri dhi omo moko, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osewachonu niya, “Ok onego udog gi yorno kendo.”

And when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same way.

17 Kik obed gi mon mathoth nikech mano dipoka oketho parone. Bende kik obed gi fedha kod dhahabu mangʼeny.

He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights of silver and gold.

18 Ka okawo loch mar pinyruodhe, to nyaka ondik chikgi kogologi e kitap chik ma jodolo ma gin jo-Lawi nigo.

Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.

19 Chikgi nyaka obedgo kosomo pile ndalo duto mag ngimane mondo opuonjrego miyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache luor korito chikenegi kod buchene duto.

And he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.

20 Kendo kik okwanre ni ober maloyo owetene koweyo luwo chik. Bangʼe en kod nyikwaye nobedie loch ndalo mangʼeny e pinyruodh Israel.

And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over Israel.”
