< Deuteronomy 5 >

1 Then Moses called all the Israelites together and told them: Listen, people of Israel to the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today. Learn them and make sure you follow them carefully.
Musa nĩetire andũ a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Inyuĩ Aisiraeli, ta kĩiguei irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ngũmwĩra ũmũthĩ mũkĩiguaga. Mũmeerute na mũtigĩrĩre nĩ mwamarũmĩrĩra.
2 Remember that the Lord our God made an agreement with us at Horeb.
Jehova Ngai witũ nĩarĩĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na ithuĩ kũu Horebu.
3 He didn't make this agreement with our fathers, but with us, all of those who are still alive today.
Jehova ndarĩĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ na maithe maitũ oiki, no nĩarĩĩkanĩire na ithuĩ, ithuothe arĩa tũrĩ muoyo ũmũthĩ.
4 The Lord talked with you person to person from the fire on the mountain.
Jehova aaranĩirie na inyuĩ ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki kĩrĩma igũrũ.
5 This was the time when I stood between the Lord and you to tell you what the Lord said, because you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. He told you,
(Hĩndĩ ĩyo niĩ ndarũgamĩte gatagatĩ kanyu na Jehova nĩguo ndĩmwĩre ũhoro wa Jehova, nĩ tondũ nĩmwetigagĩra mwaki ũcio, na mũtiigana kwambata kĩrĩma igũrũ.) Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
6 “I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
“Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.
7 You must not have any other gods except me.
“Ndũkanagĩe na ngai ĩngĩ tiga niĩ.
8 You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
“Ndũkanethondekere mũhianano mũicũhie wa mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ, kana gũkũ thĩ, kana kĩrĩ maaĩ-inĩ marĩa marĩ mũhuro wa thĩ.
9 You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
Ndũkanacinamĩrĩre kana ũcihooe, nĩgũkorwo niĩ Jehova Ngai waku ndĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, herithagia ciana nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana rwa andũ arĩa maathũire,
10 but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
no nĩ ngonania wendo kũrĩ njiarwa ngiri na ngiri cia andũ arĩa manyendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani makwa.
11 You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
“Ndũkanagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku na itherũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatua atĩ mũndũ ndehĩtie ũrĩa ũgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake na itherũ.
12 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord as the Lord your God has commanded you to do.
“Menyagĩrĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ ũwamũrage, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte.
13 You have six days to work and earn your living,
Rutaga wĩra waku wothe mĩthenya ĩtandatũ,
14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you, so that your male slave and females slave can have the same rest as you.
no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova Ngai waku. Mũthenya ũcio ndũkanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ, wee mwene, kana mũrũguo, kana mwarĩguo, kana ndungata yaku ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ndegwa yaku, kana ndigiri yaku kana nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ yaku, kana mũgeni ũrĩ gwaku mũciĩ, nĩgeetha ndungata yaku ya mũndũ mũrũme o na ya mũndũ-wa-nja o nacio ihurũke o tawe.
15 Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and that the Lord your God led you out from there with his great power and incredible strength. This is why the Lord your God has ordered you to keep the Sabbath day.
Ririkanaga o nawe warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri, na atĩ nĩ Jehova Ngai waku wakũrutire kuo na njara ĩrĩ hinya na guoko kwa ũhoti gũtambũrũkĩtio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte ũmenyagĩrĩre mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that you may live a long time and do well in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
“Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte, nĩgeetha ũtũũre matukũ maingĩ, na maũndũ maku magĩrĩre bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku egũkũhe.
17 You must not kill people.
“Ndũkanoragane.
18 You must not commit adultery.
“Ndũkanatharanie.
19 You must not steal.
“Ndũkanaiye.
20 You must not give false evidence against others.
“Ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo.
21 You must not desire to have anyone else's wife. You must not desire to have their house or field, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to them.”
“Ndũkanacumĩkĩre mũtumia wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ndũkanerirĩrie nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kana gĩthaka gĩake, kana ndungata yake ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ndegwa yake kana ndigiri yake, kana kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
22 In a loud voice the Lord gave these commandments to all of you, speaking from the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness that covered the mountain. He didn't add anything else. He wrote them down on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
Macio nĩmo maathani marĩa Jehova aarĩirie ũngano wanyu wothe na mũgambo mũnene kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩu arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki, o na itu-inĩ, o na nduma ndumanu; na ndoongereire ũndũ ũngĩ. Agĩcooka akĩmaandĩka ihengere-inĩ igĩrĩ cia mahiga, akĩĩnengera.
23 When you heard the voice that came from the darkness while the mountain was on fire, all your tribal leaders and elders came to me,
Rĩrĩa mwaiguire mũgambo ũkiuma nduma-inĩ ĩyo, na kĩrĩma gĩgĩakanaga mwaki, athuuri na atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe nĩmookire kũrĩ niĩ.
24 and said, “Listen, the Lord our God has revealed glory and majesty to us, and we have heard his voice that came from the fire. Today we have seen that human beings can don't die even when God speaks with them.
Mũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai witũ nĩatuonetie riiri wake na ũnene wake, na nĩtũiguĩte mũgambo wake ũkiuma mwaki-inĩ. Ũmũthĩ nĩtwonete atĩ mũndũ no atũũre muoyo o na Ngai aarĩtie nake.
25 But we could still die, couldn't we? This enormous fire is going to burn us up, and we'll die if the Lord our God continues to speak to us.
No rĩrĩ, tũgũkua nĩkĩ? Mwaki ũyũ mũnene ũũ nĩ ũgũtũniina, na nĩtũgũkua tũngĩigua mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai witũ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
26 Has anybody else ever heard the living God speak from the fire and survived, we have?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũrĩ muoyo ũrĩ waigua mũgambo wa Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo akĩaria arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũiguĩte, na agatũũra muoyo?
27 You go and listen to everything the Lord our God tells you. Then you can repeat to us everything the Lord our God tells you. We promise to listen and obey.”
Wee thiĩ ũkuhĩrĩrie, ũigue ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai witũ ekuuga. Ũcooke ũũke ũtwĩre ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai witũ egũkwĩra. Nĩtũkũigua na twathĩke.”
28 The Lord heard what you told me, and he said to me, “I've heard what these people told you. All that they've said is good.
Jehova nĩamũiguire rĩrĩa mwanjaragĩria, nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjiguĩte ũrĩa andũ aya makwĩrĩte. Ũhoro ũcio wothe maarĩtie nĩ mwega.
29 I only wish they really did respect me and always kept my commandments so that they and their children would do well for all time.
Naarĩ korwo magĩa na ngoro ya gũtũma meĩndigagĩre na matũũre marũmĩtie maathani makwa hĩndĩ ciothe, nĩguo matũũre monaga maũndũ mega o ene o na ciana ciao nginya tene!
30 Go and tell them: ‘You need to return to your tents.’
“Thiĩ ũmeere macooke hema-inĩ ciao.
31 But you are to stay here with me so that I can give you all the commandments and rules and regulations you are to teach them to follow in the country that I am giving them to take over and own.”
No wee-rĩ, ikara haha harĩ niĩ nĩgeetha ngũhe ũhoro wa maathani mothe, na irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ũrĩmarutaga nĩguo mamarũmagĩrĩre marĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ngũmahe mawĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.”
32 So make sure you do what the Lord your God has ordered you to do—don't go astray in any direction.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩmenyererei nĩguo mwĩkage ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amwathĩte; mũtikarore na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
33 Follow all the ways the Lord your God has shown you, so that you do well and live long lives in the country that you will occupy.
Thiiagai na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yothe Jehova Ngai wanyu amwathĩte, nĩguo mũtũũre muoyo na mũgaacĩre, na nĩguo mũtũme matukũ manyu maingĩhe ma gũtũũra bũrũri ũcio mũkegwatĩra.
