Deuteronomy 8
1 You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
Maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ ma kũrũmĩrĩra mamenyagĩrĩrei nĩgeetha mũtũũre, na mũingĩhe, na mũtoonye mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova erĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
2 Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũtongoririe njĩra-inĩ yothe kũu werũ-inĩ mĩaka ĩyo mĩrongo ĩna, akĩenda mwĩnyiihie na amũgerie nĩguo amenye maũndũ marĩa maarĩ ngoro-inĩ cianyu, kana hihi nĩmũkamenyagĩrĩra maathani make kana aca.
3 He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Nĩatũmire mwĩnyiihie, na akĩreka mũhũte agĩcooka akĩmũhũũnia na mana, marĩa mũtaamenyete kana makamenywo nĩ maithe manyu, nĩgeetha amũrute atĩ ti irio ciki ingĩtũũria mũndũ muoyo, no nĩ kiugo o gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩngiuma kanua ka Jehova.
4 Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Nguo cianyu itiigana gũtuĩka kana magũrũ manyu makĩimba ihinda-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
5 So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Kĩmenyei na ngoro cianyu atĩ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahũũraga mũriũ akĩmũrũnga, ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu amũhũũraga.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
Menyagĩrĩrai maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, mũthiage na njĩra ciake na mũmwĩtigagĩre.
7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũtwara bũrũri mwega mũno, bũrũri ũrĩ tũrũũĩ, na ũrĩ tũria twa maaĩ, na ithima cia maaĩ megũtherera kũu cianda-inĩ o na irĩma-inĩ;
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
bũrũri ũrĩ na ngano na cairi, na ũrĩ na mĩthabibũ na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, ningĩ nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ na maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ na ũũkĩ;
9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
nĩ bũrũri ũtakanyiihia irio, na inyuĩ mũtirĩ kĩndũ mũkaaga, bũrũri ũrĩa mahiga maguo arĩ igera, na no mwenje icango irĩma-inĩ ciaguo.
10 When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
Rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa mũhũũne, mũkaagooca Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri ũcio mwega amũheete.
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, mwage kũmenyerera maathani make na mawatho make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
Kwaga ũguo, mwarĩa mwahũũna, na mwaka nyũmba njega na mũcitũũre,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
na rĩrĩa ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri ikaaneneha, nacio betha na thahabu ciongerereke, na indo ciothe iria mũrĩ nacio ikorwo ciongererekete mũno-rĩ,
14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro cianyu nĩikaagĩa na mwĩtĩĩo, na nĩmũkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, o we ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, akĩmũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
15 He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
Nĩamũtongoririe mũgĩtũĩkanĩria werũ ũcio mũnene na wa kũmakania, bũrũri ũcio mũngʼaru ũtarĩ maaĩ, na warĩ na nyoka njũru, o na tũngʼaurũ. Nĩamũrutĩire maaĩ ihiga-inĩ rĩa nyaigĩ.
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
Nĩamũheire mana mũrĩĩre kũu werũ-inĩ, marĩa maithe manyu mataamenyete ũhoro wamo, nĩguo atũme mwĩnyiihie, na akĩmũgeria nĩgeetha thuutha-inĩ maũndũ manyu makaagĩrĩra.
17 You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
Mwahota gũkeĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũhoti witũ na hinya wa moko maitũ nĩcio ituoneire ũtonga ũyũ.”
18 But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
No rĩrĩ, ririkanagai Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũmũheaga ũhoti wa kwĩgĩĩra na ũtonga, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agakĩhingia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa, o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
Mũngĩkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, mũcihooe na mũciinamĩrĩre, ngũmumbũrĩra mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ atĩ ti-itherũ no mũkaaniinwo.
20 Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
Mũkaaniinwo o ta ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinire agĩcieheria mbere yanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu.
