< Leviticus 26 >
1 Ye shall make yourselves no idols, neither rear you up for yourselves carved image, or statue, nor shall ye set up a figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am Jehovah 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 Ye shall observe my sabbaths, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.
“‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ ciakwa na mũtĩĩage handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and observe my commandments and do them,
“‘Mũngĩrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa na mũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkagĩra maathani makwa,
4 then I will give your rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit;
nĩngamuuragĩria mbura imera ciayo ciakinya, na mĩgũnda yanyu nĩrĩciaraga irio, nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩgũnda yanyu ĩciarage maciaro mayo.
5 and your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.
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 in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not go 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 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword;
Nĩmũkaingatithia thũ cianyu, na mũcihoote mbaara-inĩ.
8 and five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside you by the sword.
Andũ atano anyu makaahũũra andũ igana, nao andũ anyu igana makaahũũra andũ ngiri ikũmi, nacio thũ nĩ mũgaacihoota mũciũrage na rũhiũ rwa njora.
9 And I will turn my face towards you and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
“‘Nĩngamuonia ũtugi wakwa, na ndũme mũciarane na mũingĩhe, na nĩngatũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and clear away the old because of 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 set my habitation among you; and my soul shall not abhor you;
Ngaiga gĩikaro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu, na ndikamũthũũra.
12 and I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be to me a people.
Ngaathiiaga ndĩ gatagatĩ kanyu, nduĩke Ngai wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke andũ akwa.
13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
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 But if ye hearken not unto me, and do not all these commandments,
“‘No mũngĩkaaga kũnjigua, mwage kũhingia maathani macio mothe,
15 and if ye shall despise my statutes, and if your soul shall abhor mine ordinances, so that ye do not all my commandments, that ye 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 I also will do this unto you — I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall 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, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
Nĩngamũrũithia ndĩmũũkĩrĩre nĩguo mũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu; arĩa mamũthũire nĩo makaamwathaga, na mũkooraga hatarĩ mũndũ ũmũingatithĩtie.
18 And if for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold more for your sins,
“‘Angĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, ngaakĩrĩrĩria kũmũherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu maita mũgwanja.
19 and I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze,
Nĩnganiina rũngʼathio rwa mwĩtĩĩo wanyu, na ndũme matu matuĩke ta cuuma, nayo thĩ yũme ĩtuĩke ta gĩcango.
20 and your strength shall be spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.
Mũkaahũthĩra hinya wanyu o tũhũ, tondũ tĩĩri wanyu ndũkagethwo kĩndũ, kana mĩtĩ ya bũrũri wanyu ĩciare maciaro mayo.
21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring sevenfold more plagues upon you 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 And I will send the beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be 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 ye will not be disciplined by me through these, but walk contrary unto me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio no mũkaarega kũnjookerera na mũgĩthiĩ na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra-rĩ,
24 then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, 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 upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall 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 break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and 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 And if for this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, no mũthiĩ o na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra,
28 then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven-fold for your sins.
niĩ na niĩ nĩngamũũkĩrĩra na marakara na niĩ mwene ngĩrĩrĩrie kũmũherithia maita mangĩ mũgwanja nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Mũkaarĩĩaga nyama cia ariũ na aarĩ anyu.
30 And I will lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor 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 And I will lay waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries; and I will not smell your sweet odours.
Matũũra manyu marĩa manene nĩngamananga na handũ hanyu harĩa haamũre ndĩhoonũhe, o na ndigakenio nĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa maruta manyu.
32 And I will bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may be astonished at it.
Nĩngonũha bũrũri ũcio, nginya thũ cianyu iria itũũraga kuo igege.
33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities waste.
Nĩngamũharagania ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na njomore rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora ndĩmũingatithie. Naguo bũrũri wanyu ndĩũnũhe, namo matũũra manyu marĩa manene ndĩmanange.
34 Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; then shall the land 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 All the days of the desolation it shall rest, [the days in] which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.
Ihinda rĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũkirĩte ihooru, nĩũkahurũka kũrĩa wagĩte kũhurũka hĩndĩ ya Thabatũ iria mwatũũrĩte kuo.
36 And as to those that remain of you — I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth;
“‘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 and they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
Makaahĩnganaga makĩũra o ta andũ maroorĩra rũhiũ rwa njora o na gũtarĩ mũndũ ũmaingatithĩtie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtikahota gwĩtiiria thũ cianyu.
38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
Mũgaathirĩra kũu ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ; bũrũri wa thũ cianyu ũkaamũrĩa ũmũniine.
39 And they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste away with them.
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 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto me,
“‘No mangĩkoimbũra mehia mao na mehia ma maithe mao, o na mehia ma kũnemera na ma kũnjũkĩrĩra,
41 so that I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of 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 I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; 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 shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and their soul 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 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah 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 I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.
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 and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
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.
