Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũhakũre na ũndũ wa kũhihinywo kana gũtinio kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
2 A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.
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 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah for ever;
Gũtirĩ Mũamoni kana Mũmoabi, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake, ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
4 because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
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 Jehovah thy God would not listen to Balaam; and Jehovah thy God turned the curse into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
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 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Mũtikanagĩe kĩrĩko gĩa gũtũũra ũrata nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra muoyo.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.
Mũtikanamene Mũedomu nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu. Mũtikanamene Mũmisiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩmwatũire mũrĩ ageni bũrũri wake.
8 Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation.
Andũ a rũciaro rwa gatatũ arĩa magaaciarwo nĩo, no matoonye kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
9 When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũngĩamba kambĩ mũngʼethanĩire na thũ cianyu, mũtikahutanie na kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu.
10 If there be with thee a man that is not clean from what hath happened in the night, then shall he go outside the camp; he shall not come inside 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 it shall be, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the going down of the sun he may come inside the camp.
No rĩrĩ, gwatua gũtuka nĩethambe, na riũa rĩgĩthũa no acooke kambĩ-inĩ.
12 Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, and shalt go forth thither.
Thondekai handũ nja ya kambĩ harĩa mũrĩthiiaga gwĩteithia.
13 And thou shalt have a shovel amongst thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which is come from thee.
Harĩ indo cianyu cia wĩra-rĩ, gĩagai na kĩndũ gĩa gũcimbaga nakĩo, na rĩrĩa mũndũ athiĩ gwĩteithia, akenja irima agathika kĩoro gĩake.
14 For Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; and thy camp shall be holy, that he see nothing unseemly with thee, and turn away from thee.
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 Thou shalt not hand over to his master a bondman that hath escaped from his master unto thee:
Ngombo ĩngĩgakorwo yũrĩire gwaku, ndũkanamĩneane kũrĩ mwathi wayo.
16 he shall dwell with thee, even in thy midst, in the place that he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it seemeth good to him; thou shalt not oppress him.
Reke ĩtũũre gatagatĩ kanyu kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩenda na itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩrĩa ĩngĩthuura. Ndũkanamĩhinyĩrĩrie.
17 There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst the sons of Israel.
Gũtirĩ Mũisiraeli, mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, ũgaatuĩka mũmaraya wa ihooero.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy 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 Thou shalt take no interest of thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that can be lent upon interest:
Ndũkanarĩhie mũrũ wa ithe wanyu uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmũheete, ũrĩ wa mbeeca kana irio kana wa kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩngĩrehe uumithio.
20 of a foreigner thou mayest take interest, but of thy brother thou shalt not take interest; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest 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 thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not delay to perform it; for Jehovah thy God will certainly require it of thee, and it shall be sin in thee.
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 thou forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
No ũngĩaga kwĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa, ndũgaakorwo wĩhĩtie.
23 What is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wothe mĩromo yaku ĩriugaga no nginya ũũhingagie, nĩ ũndũ wehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku na kanua gaku wĩyendeire.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy fill, according to thy desire, but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũrĩe thabibũ nginya ũhũũne, no ndũgekĩre o na ĩmwe kĩondo-inĩ gĩaku.
25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not wave the sickle against thy neighbour's standing corn.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa ngano wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũbute magira mayo na moko, no ndũkanagethe ngano ĩyo yake.
