Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaagũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩa ũratoonya ũkawĩgwatĩre na aingate ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ ikweherere, nacio nĩ Ahiti, na Agirigashi, na Aamori, na Akaanani, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi, ndũrĩrĩ mũgwanja nene na irĩ hinya gũgũkĩra-rĩ,
2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
na rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaacineana kũrĩ we nawe ũkorwo ũcitooretie, hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya ũgaciniina biũ. Ndũkanagĩe na kĩrĩkanĩro nacio na ndũkanaciiguĩre tha.
3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
Mũtikanagũrane nacio. Mũtikanaheane airĩtu anyu kũrĩ aanake ao kana aanake anyu mahikie airĩtu ao,
4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmakagarũra aanake anyu matige gũcooka kũnũmĩrĩra, na matuĩke a gũtungatĩra ngai ingĩ, namo marakara ma Jehova nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra, mamũcine na mamũniine o narua.
5 Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
Ũũ nĩguo mũkaameeka: Mũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũharaganie mahiga ma igongona ciao, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera, o na mũcine mĩhianano yao na mwaki.
6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
Nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ mũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rwamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu. Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũthurire kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ mũtuĩke rũrĩrĩ rwake, rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ bata mũno harĩ we.
7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
Jehova ndaamwendire na akĩmũthuura tondũ mwarĩ aingĩ gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ inyuĩ mwarĩ anini mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
No nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova kũmwenda na kũmenyerera mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtĩire maithe manyu ma tene, nĩkĩo aamũrutire na guoko gwake kũrĩ hinya, na akĩmũkũũra akĩmũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo, kuuma hinya-inĩ wa Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩmenyei atĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe Ngai; o we Mũrungu ũrĩa mwĩhokeku, ũmenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo kũrĩ njiaro ngiri cia andũ arĩa mamwendete, na makamenyerera maathani make.
10 But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
No rĩrĩ, arĩa mamũthũire nĩakerĩhĩria na njĩra ya kũmaniina biũ makĩonaga; ndakagĩa thieya kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ andũ arĩa mamũthũire, makĩonaga.
11 So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩmenyererei mũrũmagĩrĩre maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
12 If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
Mũngĩrũmbũiya mawatho macio na mũmamenyerere mũmarũmĩrĩre, nake Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩarĩigaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo na inyuĩ, o ta ũrĩa eehĩtire mbere ya maithe manyu.
13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
Nĩarĩmwendaga na amũrathimage na atũmage mũingĩhage. Nĩarĩrathimaga maciaro ma nda cianyu, na maciaro ma mĩgũnda yanyu, marĩ ma ngano, na ma ndibei ya mũhihano, na ma maguta, na ma njaũ cia ndũũru cianyu na ma tũtũrũme twa ndũũru cia ngʼondu cianyu kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ maithe manyu atĩ nĩakamũhe.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
Inyuĩ nĩmũkarathimwo gũkĩra rũrĩrĩ rũngĩ o ruothe; gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja wanyu ũkaaga mwana, o na kana ũhiũ wanyu o wothe wage gũciara.
15 And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
Jehova nĩakamũgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ mĩrimũ yothe. Ndakamũrehithĩria mĩrimũ mĩũru ta ĩrĩa muoĩ rĩrĩa mwarĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no rĩrĩ, nĩakamĩrehithĩria andũ arĩa othe mamũthũire.
16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
No nginya mũkaaniina ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria Jehova akaarekereria acineane kũrĩ inyuĩ; mũtikanaciguĩre tha kana mũtungatĩre ngai ciacio, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũcio no ũtuĩke mũtego kũrĩ inyuĩ.
17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
Mwahota kwĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ ici irĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra. Tũngĩhota atĩa gũciingata?”
18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
No mũtikanaciĩtigĩre; ririkanagai wega ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu eekire Firaũni, o na ũrĩa eekire bũrũri wa Misiri guothe.
19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Nĩmweyoneire na maitho manyu maũndũ manene marĩa andũ acio maageririo namo, o na ciama iria ciaringirwo, na maũndũ ma kũgegania marĩa meekirwo; ningĩ mũririkane ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko kwa hinya na gũtambũrũkĩtio. Ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu ageeka ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe mũretigĩra rĩu.
20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
O na ningĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩagatũma magi ma mboora gatagatĩ ga cio, nginya o na matigari ma cio marĩa makaamwĩhitha makorwo mathirĩte.
21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Mũtikamakio nĩcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, nĩ Mũrungu mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
22 The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciehere mbere yanyu hanini o hanini. Mũtigetĩkĩrio mũciniine o rĩmwe, nĩguo nyamũ cia gĩthaka itikamũingĩhĩre imũrigiicĩrie.
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
No Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakaneana ndũrĩrĩ icio kũrĩ inyuĩ, atũme igĩe na kĩrigiicano kĩnene o nginya iniinwo.
24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
Athamaki ao nĩakamaneana moko-inĩ manyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkaniina marĩĩtwa mao biũ mehere gũkũ thĩ mũhuro wa riũa. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria; nĩ mũkaamaniina.
25 You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
Mĩhiano ya ngai ciao nĩmũkamĩcina na mwaki. Mũtikanacumĩkĩre betha na thahabu iria ciĩkĩrĩtwo igũrũ rĩayo, kana mũmĩoe ĩtuĩke yanyu, mũtikaguucĩrĩrio nĩyo mũheeneke, nĩgũkorwo nĩĩrĩ magigi kũrĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
26 And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
Ndũkanarehe kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu nyũmba-inĩ yaku, nĩgeetha ndũkaamũrwo hamwe na kĩndũ kĩu mũniinwo. Kĩrege biũ na ũgĩthũũre, nĩgũkorwo nĩgĩtuĩtwo gĩa kũniinwo.
