Deuteronomy 29
1 The following are the terms of the agreement that the Lord ordered Moses to make with the Israelites in the country of Moab This was in addition to the agreement he had made with them at Horeb.
Ici nĩcio ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aathire Musa arĩkanĩre na andũ a Isiraeli kũu Moabi, hamwe na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire nao marĩ Horebu.
2 Moses called all the Israelites together and announced to them, You saw with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.
Musa nĩetire andũ a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Maitho manyu nĩmeyoneire ũrĩa wothe Jehova eekire Firaũni kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na ũrĩa eekire anene ake othe na bũrũri wake wothe.
3 You saw with your own eyes the amazing tests, and those great signs and miracles.
Nĩmweyoneire na maitho manyu magerio macio manene, o na ciama na maũndũ manene ma kũgegania.
4 But up to now the Lord has not given you minds that understand, or eyes that see, or ears that hear, saying,
No nginya ũmũthĩ Jehova ndamũheete meciiria marĩ na ũmenyo, kana maitho me kuona, kana matũ me kũigua.
5 For forty years I led you through the desert, but your clothes and sandals didn't wear out.
Ihinda rĩu rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna ndamũtongoririe werũ-inĩ, nguo cianyu itiigana gũtuĩka, o na kana iraatũ iria ciarĩ magũrũ manyu igĩtarũka.
6 You didn't have bread to eat, or wine or alcohol to drink in order that you would realize that I am the Lord your God.
Mũtiigana kũrĩa irio, kana mũkĩnyua ndibei kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩgagatu. Ndeekire ũndũ ũcio nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
7 When we arrived here, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan marched out to fight us in battle, but we defeated them.
Rĩrĩa mwakinyire gũkũ, Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, na Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani nĩmookire kũhũũrana na ithuĩ, no nĩtwamatooririe.
8 We took their land and gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to own.
Nĩtwegwatĩire bũrũri wao na tũkĩũheana ũtuĩke igai rĩa andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na wa Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.
9 So make sure you keep and follow the terms of this agreement in order that you may be successful in everything you do.
Rũmĩrĩrai wega ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ, nĩguo mũgaacĩre maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga.
10 Every one of you is stand here today before the Lord your God: you tribal leaders, officials, and all the men of Israel,
Inyuĩ inyuothe mũrũgamĩte ũmũthĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, na atongoria anyu, na atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, na athuuri anyu, na anene anyu, na arũme arĩa angĩ othe a Isiraeli,
11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your firewood and carry your water.
hamwe na ciana cianyu, na atumia anyu, na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa matũũraga kambĩ-inĩ cianyu, arĩa mamunagĩra ngũ na makamũtahĩra maaĩ.
12 You're here so you can enter into the agreement of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, and accept his solemn promise,
Mũrũgamĩte haha nĩguo mũgĩe na kĩrĩkanĩro na Jehova Ngai wanyu, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova ekũgĩa na inyuĩ ũmũthĩ, na akĩhũũre mũhũũri na ũndũ wa mwĩhĩtwa,
13 and so he can confirm you today as his people. He will be your God as he told you and as he promised your forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
na agĩĩkĩre hinya kũna atĩ mũrĩ andũ ake ũmũthĩ, na atĩ atuĩke Ngai wanyu, o ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire, na ningĩ o ta ũrĩa eehĩtire kũrĩ maithe manyu Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu.
14 It's not only with you that the Lord is making this agreement and solemn promise,
Ndirathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ na mwĩhĩtwa na inyuĩ inyuiki,
15 those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God, but also with those who are not here today.
o inyuĩ mũrũgamĩte haha na ithuĩ ũmũthĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ, no nĩ hamwe na arĩa matarĩ haha ũmũthĩ.
16 You know very well what it was like when we lived in the land of Egypt and our experiences as we passed through the nations on the way here.
Inyuĩ ene nĩmũũĩ ũrĩa twatũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri na ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie mabũrũri-inĩ tũgĩũka gũkũ.
17 You saw their disgusting religious practices and their idols of wood and stone, and silver and gold.
Gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nĩmuonire mĩhianano yao ĩrĩ thaahu, na ngai cia kũhooywo cia mĩtĩ na cia mahiga, na cia betha na cia thahabu.
18 You need to make sure today that there's no man or woman, family or tribe of yours who wants to turn from the Lord our God and go and worship the gods of these nations. Make sure there is nothing like that among you that would produce such poison and bitterness.
Menyererai wega hatigakorwo mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, kana andũ a nyũmba ĩmwe kana mũhĩrĩga gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu ũmũthĩ, ũngĩgĩa na ngoro ya kũhutatĩra Jehova Ngai witũ athiĩ akahooe ngai cia ndũrĩrĩ icio; menyererai wega gũtikagĩe mũri mũrũrũ gatagatĩ kanyu ũngĩciara maciaro marũrũ ta nyongo.
19 For when someone like that hears the words of this solemn promise, they think they'll still receive a blessing, telling themselves, “I'll be safe, even though I'll go on doing whatever I feel like.” Such an attitude would destroy good and bad alike.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ta ũcio aigua ciugo cia mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ, eĩtagĩria kĩrathimo, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio ageciiria atĩrĩ, “Ndikona ũgwati o na ingĩkĩrĩria gũthiĩ na njĩra yakwa mwene.” Ũndũ ũcio nĩũkarehe mwanangĩko bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ maaĩ, o na ũrĩa mũngʼaru.
20 The Lord would never want to pardon them. In fact, his passionate anger will burn against them, and every curse written in this book will fall on them. The Lord will erase their name from the earth,
Jehova ndarĩ hĩndĩ akenda kũmũrekera; marakara make na kĩyo gĩake nĩikarĩrĩmbũkĩra mũndũ ũcio. Irumi ciothe iria ciandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ nĩikamũkinyĩrĩra, nake Jehova nĩakahuura rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩehere gũkũ thĩ.
21 and punish them as an example of them for all the Israelite tribes, in accordance with all the curses of the agreement written in this Book of the Law.
Jehova nĩakamwamũra kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, anyiitwo nĩ mwanangĩko, kũringana na irumi ciothe cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩandĩke thĩinĩ wa Ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa Watho.
22 Later generations, your descendants and foreigners from far away, will see how the Lord has brought disaster on the country and devastated it.
Ciana cianyu iria ikaamũrũmĩrĩra njiaro-inĩ iria igooka thuutha, o na ageni arĩa magooka moimĩte mabũrũri ma kũraya nĩmakona mathĩĩna marĩa makorete bũrũri o na mĩrimũ ĩrĩa Jehova ahũũrĩte bũrũri nayo.
23 The whole country will be burning wasteland of sulfur and salt. Nothing is sown; it's totally unproductive; no plant grows there—just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his furious anger.
Bũrũri wothe ũgaatuĩka kũndũ gũtangĩkũra kĩndũ, kũiyũrĩte cumbĩ na ũbiriti, gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩkahaandwo na gũtirĩ riya rĩgaakũra kuo, kana kĩndũ kĩmere kuo. Gũkahaana ta mwanangĩko wa matũũra ma Sodomu na Gomora, na Adima o na Zeboimu, marĩa Jehova aaharaganirie arĩ na marakara mahiũ.
24 Everyone everywhere will ask, “Why did the Lord do this to the country? Why did he get so terribly angry?”
Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ikooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ ũguo? Marakara maya mahiũ ũũ, nĩ ma kĩ?”
25 The people will answer, “It's because they abandoned the agreement of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he led them out of Egypt.
Narĩo icookio rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ andũ aya nĩmatiganĩirie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aagĩire nao rĩrĩa aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri.
26 They went off and worshiped other gods, bowing down to gods they'd never heard of—gods that the Lord had not given to them.
Nĩmamwehereire magĩthiĩ kũhooya ngai ingĩ na magĩciinamĩrĩra, ngai matooĩ, na ngai Jehova ataamaheete.
27 That's why the Lord was so angry with this land, and he rained down on it every curse written in this book.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marakara ma Jehova makĩrĩrĩmbũkĩra bũrũri ũyũ, akĩũkinyĩria irumi iria ciothe ciandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.
28 The Lord uprooted them from their country in his anger, rage, and fury, and he threw them out, leaving them in another land, where they are to this day.”
Ningĩ Jehova, arĩ na marakara mahiũ na mangʼũrĩ manene, nĩamamunyire kuuma bũrũri wao akĩmaikia bũrũri ũngĩ, ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ rĩu.”
29 The Lord our God has secrets that belong to him, but what has been revealed belong to us and to our descendants forever, so that we may follow everything in this law.
Maũndũ ma hitho nĩ ma Jehova Ngai witũ, no maũndũ marĩa maguũrie nĩ maitũ na ciana ciitũ nginya tene, nĩguo tũrũmagĩrĩre ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ.
