< Leviticus 26 >
1 “You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.
“‘Mũtikanethondekere mĩhianano kana mwĩrũgamirie mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ kana ihiga rĩamũre rĩa kũhooywo, mũtikaige ihiga rĩacũhie bũrũri-inĩ wanyu atĩ nĩguo mũrĩinamagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
2 You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
“‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ ciakwa na mũtĩĩage handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
3 If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
“‘Mũngĩrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa na mũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkagĩra maathani makwa,
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
nĩngamuuragĩria mbura imera ciayo ciakinya, na mĩgũnda yanyu nĩrĩciaraga irio, nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩgũnda yanyu ĩciarage maciaro mayo.
5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.
Mũrĩhũũraga ngano yanyu mũgakinyĩria magetha ma thabibũ, namo magetha ma thabibũ magakinyĩria hĩndĩ ya mahaanda, na mũrĩrĩĩaga irio mũkahũũna, na mũtũũre bũrũri wanyu mũrĩ na thayũ.
6 And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
“‘Nĩngatũma bũrũri wanyu ũgĩe na thayũ, na mũrĩkomaga gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũma mwĩtigĩre. Nĩnganiina nyamũ njũru ciehere bũrũri-inĩ wanyu. Nacio itigacooka kuoneka bũrũri-inĩ wanyu.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
Nĩmũkaingatithia thũ cianyu, na mũcihoote mbaara-inĩ.
8 Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
Andũ atano anyu makaahũũra andũ igana, nao andũ anyu igana makaahũũra andũ ngiri ikũmi, nacio thũ nĩ mũgaacihoota mũciũrage na rũhiũ rwa njora.
9 I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.
“‘Nĩngamuonia ũtugi wakwa, na ndũme mũciarane na mũingĩhe, na nĩngatũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ.
10 You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.
Mũgaakoragwo o mũkĩrĩa magetha ma mwaka mũthiru nginya rĩrĩa mũkaamaruta nja nĩguo mũgĩe na handũ ha kũiga magetha marĩa maragethwo.
11 And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.
Ngaiga gĩikaro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu, na ndikamũthũũra.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.
Ngaathiiaga ndĩ gatagatĩ kanyu, nduĩke Ngai wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke andũ akwa.
13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩguo mũtige gũtuĩka ngombo cia andũ a Misiri; ndoinangire macooki ma ngingo cianyu ngĩtũma mũhotage gũthiĩ mwĩhaandĩte wega.
14 If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,
“‘No mũngĩkaaga kũnjigua, mwage kũhingia maathani macio mothe,
15 and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,
na mũngĩrega kĩrĩra gĩakwa kĩa watho na mũthũũre mawatho makwa, na mwage kũhingia maathani makwa, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
16 then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
Niĩ na niĩ nĩngamwĩka maũndũ maya: Nĩngamũrehere kĩmako, na ndĩmũrehere ndwari cia kũmũniina na ũndũ wa kũhiũha kwa mĩĩrĩ kũrĩa gũkaamũte maitho, na gũtũme mũũrwo nĩ hinya. Mũkaahaanda mbeũ tũhũ, nĩ ũndũ ikaarĩagwo nĩ thũ cianyu.
17 And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.
Nĩngamũrũithia ndĩmũũkĩrĩre nĩguo mũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu; arĩa mamũthũire nĩo makaamwathaga, na mũkooraga hatarĩ mũndũ ũmũingatithĩtie.
18 And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
“‘Angĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, ngaakĩrĩrĩria kũmũherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu maita mũgwanja.
19 I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
Nĩnganiina rũngʼathio rwa mwĩtĩĩo wanyu, na ndũme matu matuĩke ta cuuma, nayo thĩ yũme ĩtuĩke ta gĩcango.
20 and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
Mũkaahũthĩra hinya wanyu o tũhũ, tondũ tĩĩri wanyu ndũkagethwo kĩndũ, kana mĩtĩ ya bũrũri wanyu ĩciare maciaro mayo.
21 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.
“‘Ningĩ mũngĩthiĩ na mbere na mĩthiĩre ya kũnemera, na mwage kũnjigua, nĩngakĩrĩrĩria kũmũingĩhĩria mahũũra mangĩ maita mũgwanja o ũrĩa mehia manyu magĩrĩirwo nĩ kũherithio.
22 I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.
Nĩngamũrehere nyamũ cia gĩthaka imũũkĩrĩre, nacio imũtunye ciana cianyu, na iniine ngʼombe cianyu, o na itũme mũigana wanyu ũnyiihe ũũ atĩ barabara cianyu ciage andũ.
23 And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio no mũkaarega kũnjookerera na mũgĩthiĩ na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra-rĩ,
24 then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
niĩ na niĩ nĩngamũũkĩrĩra, na nĩngakĩrĩrĩria kũmũhũũra nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu maita mangĩ mũgwanja.
25 And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Nĩngamũrehithĩria rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩhĩrie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa mũthũkĩtie. Muorĩra matũũra-inĩ marĩa manene manyu, nĩngamũrehithĩria mũthiro thĩinĩ wanyu, na ndĩmũrekererie moko-inĩ ma thũ cianyu.
26 When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
Rĩrĩa ngaamwehereria makũmbĩ manyu ma irio, andũ-a-nja ikũmi makaarugagĩra mĩgate yanyu riiko rĩmwe, nao macooke kũmũrehera mĩgate ĩyo ĩthimĩtwo na ratiri. Mũkaamĩrĩĩaga na mũtihũũne.
27 But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, no mũthiĩ o na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra,
28 then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
niĩ na niĩ nĩngamũũkĩrĩra na marakara na niĩ mwene ngĩrĩrĩrie kũmũherithia maita mangĩ mũgwanja nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu.
29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
Mũkaarĩĩaga nyama cia ariũ na aarĩ anyu.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
Ningĩ nĩngananga kũndũ kwanyu kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na ndemange magongona manyu ma ũbani na njooke njigĩrĩre ciimba cianyu igũrũ rĩa mĩhianano ĩyo yanyu ĩtarĩ muoyo, na ndĩmũthũũre.
31 I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
Matũũra manyu marĩa manene nĩngamananga na handũ hanyu harĩa haamũre ndĩhoonũhe, o na ndigakenio nĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa maruta manyu.
32 And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
Nĩngonũha bũrũri ũcio, nginya thũ cianyu iria itũũraga kuo igege.
33 But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.
Nĩngamũharagania ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na njomore rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora ndĩmũingatithie. Naguo bũrũri wanyu ndĩũnũhe, namo matũũra manyu marĩa manene ndĩmanange.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Thuutha ũcio, bũrũri ũcio nĩũgakenera mĩaka ya Thabatũ hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe ũgaakorwo ũkirĩte ihooru, na inyuĩ mũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa thũ cianyu; naguo bũrũri nĩũkahurũka, na ũkenere thabatũ ciaguo.
35 As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
Ihinda rĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũkirĩte ihooru, nĩũkahurũka kũrĩa wagĩte kũhurũka hĩndĩ ya Thabatũ iria mwatũũrĩte kuo.
36 As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
“‘Nao arĩa anyu magaatigara, nĩngatũma ngoro ciao inyiitwo nĩ guoya marĩ mabũrũri-inĩ macio ma thũ ciao, o nginya ithangũ rĩabarabario nĩ rũhuho rĩgatũma moore. Nao makooraga o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ooragĩra rũhiũ rwa njora, na nĩmakagũũaga o na gũtarĩ mũndũ ũmaingatithĩtie.
37 They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
Makaahĩnganaga makĩũra o ta andũ maroorĩra rũhiũ rwa njora o na gũtarĩ mũndũ ũmaingatithĩtie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtikahota gwĩtiiria thũ cianyu.
38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
Mũgaathirĩra kũu ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ; bũrũri wa thũ cianyu ũkaamũrĩa ũmũniine.
39 Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.
Nao andũ anyu arĩa magaatigara nĩmakoorwo nĩ hinya marĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa thũ ciao nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao; o na ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nĩ makoorwo nĩ hinya.
40 But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—
“‘No mangĩkoimbũra mehia mao na mehia ma maithe mao, o na mehia ma kũnemera na ma kũnjũkĩrĩra,
41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
kũrĩa gwatũmire ndĩmookĩrĩre nginya ngĩmatwarithia bũrũri wa thũ ciao, thuutha ũcio rĩrĩa ngoro icio ciao nyũmũ ikenyiihia na ciĩtĩkĩre ihũũra rĩa mehia mao-rĩ,
42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Jakubu, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Isaaka, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Iburahĩmu, na ndirikane bũrũri ũcio.
43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
Nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũcio nĩũgatiganĩrio nĩo, naguo nĩũgakenera Thabatũ ciaguo rĩrĩa ũgaakira ihooru ũtarĩ nao. Nĩmakarĩhio mehia mao nĩ ũndũ nĩmaregire mawatho makwa na magĩthũũra kĩrĩra gĩakwa kĩa watho.
44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
No rĩrĩ, o na gũtariĩ ũguo, hĩndĩ ĩyo marĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa thũ ciao, ndikamarega kana ndĩmathũũre biũ ũndũ ũngĩtũma ndĩmaniine biũ, thũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nao. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wao.
45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”
No nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na maithe mao, arĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri mbere ya ndũrĩrĩ nĩgeetha nduĩke Ngai wao. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
Icio nĩcio irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na matuĩro ma ciira na mawatho marĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na andũ a Isiraeli Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai, akĩĩra Musa amamenyithanie kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
