Deuteronomy 27
1 Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;
Musa na athuuri a Isiraeli nĩ maathire andũ, makĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Rũmiai maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
2 And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,
Mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtoonye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe-rĩ, mũkaahaanda mahiga manene na mũmathinge na rĩũmba.
3 And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.
Mũkaandĩka igũrũ rĩamo ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ mwarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ mũtoonye bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrĩire.
4 And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.
Na mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mũkaahaanda mahiga macio kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali, ta ũrĩa ndĩramwatha ũmũthĩ, na mũmathinge na rĩũmba.
5 There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.
Ningĩ mũgaakĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu kĩgongona, kĩgongona kĩa mahiga. Mũtikanahũthĩre kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩa kĩgera mahiga-inĩ macio.
6 You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:
Mũgaakĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu kĩgongona na mahiga moimĩte mũgũnda, na mũrutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu maruta ma njino igũrũ wakĩo.
7 And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.
Mũkarutĩra indo cia magongona ma ũiguano o hau, mũcirĩe mũgĩkenagĩra o hau mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
8 And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.
Na nĩmũkandĩka ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ mahiga-inĩ macio mũkaahaanda na ndemwa ikuoneka wega.”
9 Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
Nake Musa na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, makĩĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Ta kirai, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na mũthikĩrĩrie! Rĩu nĩmũtuĩkĩte andũ a Jehova Ngai wanyu.
10 For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.
Athĩkĩrai Jehova Ngai wanyu na mũrũmĩrĩre maathani make na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.”
11 That same day Moses said to the people,
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, Musa agĩatha andũ acio, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
12 These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;
Mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mĩhĩrĩga ĩno nĩĩkarũgama kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩa Gerizimu ĩrathime andũ: Nĩ mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni, na wa Lawi, na wa Juda, na wa Isakaru, na wa Jusufu na wa Benjamini.
13 And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Nayo mĩhĩrĩga ĩno nĩĩkarũgama kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩa Ebali yanĩrĩre irumi: Nĩ mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na wa Gadi, na wa Asheri, na wa Zebuluni, na wa Dani na wa Nafitali.
14 Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,
Nao Alawii nĩmakoiga ciugo na mũgambo mũnene, meere andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ:
15 Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.
“Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũicũhagia mũhianano kana agatwekia mũhianano, kĩndũ kĩ magigi harĩ Jehova, wĩra wa moko ma mũbundi, na akahaanda kĩndũ kĩu na hitho.”

25 Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.
“Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wamũkagĩra ihaki nĩguo oorage mũndũ ũtarĩ na ihĩtia.”
26 Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.
“Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩrũmagia ciugo cia watho ũyũ na ũndũ wa gũcihingia.”
