< Deuteronomy 16 >
1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Menyagĩrĩrai mweri wa Abibu na mũkũngũyagĩre Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩ ũndũ mweri-inĩ wa Abibu nĩguo aamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri kũrĩ ũtukũ.
2 You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.
Nĩmũgathĩnjĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwanyu rwa mbũri kana rwa ngʼombe, mũcithĩnjĩre handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake.
3 You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.
Mũtikanamĩrĩĩanĩrie na mĩgate mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, no ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩe mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, arĩ yo mĩgate ya mĩnyamaro, nĩ ũndũ mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri na ihenya, na nĩgeetha matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wanyu mũririkanage mũthenya ũcio mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
4 No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũtikanakorwo mũrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia bũrũri-inĩ wanyu wothe. Mũtikanareke nyama o ciothe cia iria mũkũruta igongona hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mbere iraare nginya rũciinĩ.
5 You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.
Mũtikanathĩnjĩre igongona rĩa Bathaka itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe kũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe,
6 You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.
tiga o harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake. Hau nĩho mũkaarutĩra igongona rĩa Bathaka hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa riũa rĩthũaga, rĩtuĩke rĩa kũririkana ihinda rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
7 And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.
Mũkaarĩhĩhĩria na mũrĩrĩĩre handũ hau Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura. Ningĩ kwarooka gũkĩa mũcooke hema-inĩ cianyu.
8 For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũgĩe na kĩũngano kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũtikarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ.
9 You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
Taragai ciumia mũgwanja kuuma mwambĩrĩria kũgetha ngano ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ngethe.
10 And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,
Mũcooke mũkũngũĩre Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai wanyu, na ũndũ wa kũruta maruta ma kwĩyendera maringaine na irathimo iria Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte nacio.
11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
Na mũkenagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii arĩa marĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.
12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.
Ririkanai atĩ mwarĩ ngombo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na mũrũmagĩrĩre wega irĩra icio cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ mĩthenya mũgwanja thuutha wa gũcookereria maciaro marĩa moimĩte ihuhĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ngano, na ihihĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ndibei.
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
Kenagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩanyu, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu.
15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũrathima magetha-inĩ manyu mothe, na mawĩra-inĩ mothe ma moko manyu, nakĩo gĩkeno kĩanyu nĩgĩkaiganĩra.
16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.
Arũme othe anyu no nginya makeyumĩria mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu maita matatũ o mwaka marĩ handũ hau agaathuura: hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩimbie, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ. Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũkoimĩra mbere ya Jehova moko matheri:
17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
O ũmwe wanyu no nginya akarehaga kĩheo kĩringaine na ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte.
18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
Mũgaathuura aciiri, o na anene a o mũhĩrĩga kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe yanyu o itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, nao nĩmagatuagĩra andũ ciira wega.
19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
Mũtikanahotomie ciira kana mũgĩe na gũthutũkania. Mũtikanamũkĩre ihaki, nĩgũkorwo ihaki nĩrĩtũmaga maitho ma mũndũ mũũgĩ matuĩke matumumu, na rĩkoogomia ciugo cia mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu.
20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Rũmagĩrĩrai kĩhooto kĩo giiki, nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo na mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe.
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
Mũtikanahaande gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩrĩa mũgaathondekera Jehova Ngai wanyu,
22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
