Deuteronomy 23
1 “A eunuch, one whose testicles have been debilitated or cut off, or whose penis has been cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũhakũre na ũndũ wa kũhihinywo kana gũtinio kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
2 The offspring of a harlot, that is, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until 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 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation, shall not enter into the church of the Lord forever,
Gũtirĩ Mũamoni kana Mũmoabi, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake, ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
4 because they were not willing to meet you with bread and water along the way, when you had departed from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, in order to curse 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 was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loves 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 You shall not make peace with them, nor shall you seek their prosperity, throughout all the days of your life forever.
Mũtikanagĩe kĩrĩko gĩa gũtũũra ũrata nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra muoyo.
7 You shall not abhor anyone from Idumea, for he is your brother, nor the Egyptian, for you were a new arrival in his land.
Mũtikanamene Mũedomu nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu. Mũtikanamene Mũmisiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩmwatũire mũrĩ ageni bũrũri wake.
8 Those who have been born of them, in the third generation, shall enter into the church of the Lord.
Andũ a rũciaro rwa gatatũ arĩa magaaciarwo nĩo, no matoonye kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
9 When you have gone out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from everything that is evil.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũngĩamba kambĩ mũngʼethanĩire na thũ cianyu, mũtikahutanie na kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu.
10 If there is a man among you who has been defiled by a dream in the night, he shall depart from the camp.
Mũndũ mũrũme ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu angĩkorwo nĩathaahĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũrĩa ũmũkorete ũtukũ, nĩakoima na kũu nja ya kambĩ aikare kuo.
11 And he shall not return before the evening, after he has washed with water, and then, after the sun sets, he shall return to the camp.
No rĩrĩ, gwatua gũtuka nĩethambe, na riũa rĩgĩthũa no acooke kambĩ-inĩ.
12 You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature,
Thondekai handũ nja ya kambĩ harĩa mũrĩthiiaga gwĩteithia.
13 carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover
Harĩ indo cianyu cia wĩra-rĩ, gĩagai na kĩndũ gĩa gũcimbaga nakĩo, na rĩrĩa mũndũ athiĩ gwĩteithia, akenja irima agathika kĩoro gĩake.
14 that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon 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 You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master.
Ngombo ĩngĩgakorwo yũrĩire gwaku, ndũkanamĩneane kũrĩ mwathi wayo.
16 He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him.
Reke ĩtũũre gatagatĩ kanyu kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩenda na itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩrĩa ĩngĩthuura. Ndũkanamĩhinyĩrĩrie.
17 There shall be no prostitutes among the daughters of Israel, nor anyone among the sons of Israel who visits a prostitute.
Gũtirĩ Mũisiraeli, mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, ũgaatuĩka mũmaraya wa ihooero.
18 You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with 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 You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest,
Ndũkanarĩhie mũrũ wa ithe wanyu uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmũheete, ũrĩ wa mbeeca kana irio kana wa kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩngĩrehe uumithio.
20 but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it.
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 have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a 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 If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin.
No ũngĩaga kwĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa, ndũgaakorwo wĩhĩtie.
23 But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wothe mĩromo yaku ĩriugaga no nginya ũũhingagie, nĩ ũndũ wehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku na kanua gaku wĩyendeire.
24 Upon entering your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũrĩe thabibũ nginya ũhũũne, no ndũgekĩre o na ĩmwe kĩondo-inĩ gĩaku.
25 If you enter into your friend’s grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle.”
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa ngano wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũbute magira mayo na moko, no ndũkanagethe ngano ĩyo yake.
