Deuteronomy 23
1 No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũhakũre na ũndũ wa kũhihinywo kana gũtinio kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
2 One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation.
Gũtirĩ mwana ũciarĩtwo kuuma ũhiki-inĩ mũgirie, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:
Gũtirĩ Mũamoni kana Mũmoabi, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake, ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
4 Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
Nĩgũkorwo matiigana gũũka kũmũtũnga na mĩgate na maaĩ mũrĩ njĩra mũkiuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na ningĩ nĩmarĩhire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori kuuma Pethori kũu Mesopotamia nĩguo oke amũrume.
5 But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.
O na kũrĩ o ro ũguo-rĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria Balamu, no aagarũrire kĩrumi kĩu gĩgĩtuĩka kĩrathimo harĩ inyuĩ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamwendete.
6 Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.
Mũtikanagĩe kĩrĩko gĩa gũtũũra ũrata nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra muoyo.
7 But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.
Mũtikanamene Mũedomu nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu. Mũtikanamene Mũmisiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩmwatũire mũrĩ ageni bũrũri wake.
8 Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
Andũ a rũciaro rwa gatatũ arĩa magaaciarwo nĩo, no matoonye kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
9 When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũngĩamba kambĩ mũngʼethanĩire na thũ cianyu, mũtikahutanie na kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu.
10 If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
Mũndũ mũrũme ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu angĩkorwo nĩathaahĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũrĩa ũmũkorete ũtukũ, nĩakoima na kũu nja ya kambĩ aikare kuo.
11 But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
No rĩrĩ, gwatua gũtuka nĩethambe, na riũa rĩgĩthũa no acooke kambĩ-inĩ.
12 Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
Thondekai handũ nja ya kambĩ harĩa mũrĩthiiaga gwĩteithia.
13 And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
Harĩ indo cianyu cia wĩra-rĩ, gĩagai na kĩndũ gĩa gũcimbaga nakĩo, na rĩrĩa mũndũ athiĩ gwĩteithia, akenja irima agathika kĩoro gĩake.
14 For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩaceraceeraga kũu kambĩ-inĩ yanyu nĩguo amũgitĩre na aneane thũ cianyu kũrĩ inyuĩ. Kambĩ yanyu no nginya ĩtuĩke theru, nĩgeetha ndakanoone ũndũ ũtagĩrĩire gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nake amweherere.
15 Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to you:
Ngombo ĩngĩgakorwo yũrĩire gwaku, ndũkanamĩneane kũrĩ mwathi wayo.
16 Let him go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on him.
Reke ĩtũũre gatagatĩ kanyu kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩenda na itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩrĩa ĩngĩthuura. Ndũkanamĩhinyĩrĩrie.
17 No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
Gũtirĩ Mũisiraeli, mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, ũgaatuĩka mũmaraya wa ihooero.
18 Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
Mũtikanarehe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mbeeca ithũkũmĩtwo na njĩra ya ũmaraya wa andũ-a-nja kana wa arũme irĩ cia kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa o na ũrĩkũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire maũndũ macio meerĩ.
19 Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:
Ndũkanarĩhie mũrũ wa ithe wanyu uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmũheete, ũrĩ wa mbeeca kana irio kana wa kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩngĩrehe uumithio.
20 From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
No ũrĩhie mũndũ wa kũngĩ uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmuohoreire, no ti mũrũ wa ithe wanyu Mũisiraeli, nĩgeetha Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimage maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre.
21 When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.
Ũngĩkeehĩta mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ndũgekĩre mũhũthia kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai waku ndarĩ hĩndĩ atagakũũria ũndũ ũcio, na nĩũgatuuo nĩwĩhĩtie.
22 But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
No ũngĩaga kwĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa, ndũgaakorwo wĩhĩtie.
23 Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wothe mĩromo yaku ĩriugaga no nginya ũũhingagie, nĩ ũndũ wehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku na kanua gaku wĩyendeire.
24 When you go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũrĩe thabibũ nginya ũhũũne, no ndũgekĩre o na ĩmwe kĩondo-inĩ gĩaku.
25 When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa ngano wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũbute magira mayo na moko, no ndũkanagethe ngano ĩyo yake.
