< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Musa aarĩirie andũ a Isiraeli othe kũu werũ-inĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na kũu nĩkuo Araba, kũngʼethera Sufi, gatagatĩ ka Parani na Tofeli, na Labani, na Hazerothu na Dizahabu.
2 There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.
(Kuuma Horebu gũthiĩ Kadeshi-Barinea, kugerera njĩra ya kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru, nĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ikũmi na ũmwe.)
3 And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩna kuuma andũ a Isiraeli moima bũrũri wa Misiri mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi na ũmwe-rĩ, Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli akĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamwathĩte ameere.
4 After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire thuutha wake gũkorwo atooretie Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, na ningĩ nĩatooretie Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, ũrĩa wathamakaga Ashitarothu arĩ kũu Edirei.
5 On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,
Musa arĩ kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi, nĩambĩrĩirie gũtaarĩria ũhoro wa watho ũyũ, akiuga atĩrĩ:
6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,
Jehova Ngai witũ aatwĩrire tũrĩ kũu Horebu atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩrĩa mũikarĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩrĩiganĩte.
7 Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.
Thariai kambĩ mũthiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori; mũthiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe iriganĩtie cia Araba, na irĩma-inĩ, na magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na Negevu o na gũtwarana na hũgũrũrũ cia iria, gũthiĩ o nginya bũrũri wa Akaanani, o na kũu Lebanoni, o nginya rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati.
8 Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũheete bũrũri ũyũ. Thiĩi kuo mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa akiuga nĩakaũhe maithe manyu Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, o na aũhe njiaro ciao iria igooka thuutha wao.”
9 And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndaamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa kũmũrora nĩ mũritũ mũno, ndingĩũhota ndĩ o nyiki.
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:
Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũingĩhĩtie mũno nginya ũmũthĩ mũrĩ aingĩ o ta njata cia igũrũ.
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)
Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, aromũingĩhia maita ngiri, na amũrathime o ta ũrĩa eeranĩire!
12 Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?
No rĩrĩ, ingĩhota atĩa gũkuua mathĩĩna manyu, na mĩrigo yanyu, o na maciira manyu ndĩ o nyiki?
13 Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:
Thuurai andũ oogĩ, na amenyi maũndũ, o na atĩĩku kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yanyu ndĩmatue anene mamũrorage.”
14 Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.
Inyuĩ mwanjookeirie atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio watua nĩ ũgwĩka nĩ mwega.”
15 So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, acio maarĩ oogĩ na atĩĩku, ngĩmatua a kũmwathaga, marĩ atongoria a ikundi cia andũ ngiri ngiri, na cia igana igana, na cia mĩrongo ĩtano na cia ikũmi, matuĩke anene a mĩhĩrĩga.
16 And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Na nĩndathire atuithania ciira anyu ihinda-inĩ rĩu ngĩmeera atĩrĩ: Thikagĩrĩriai maciira gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu, na mũmatuithanagie na kĩhooto, kana nĩ ciira ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka Mũisiraeli na Mũisiraeli ũngĩ, kana Mũisiraeli na mũndũ wa kũngĩ.
17 Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.
Mũtikanathutũkanie mũgĩtua ciira; thikagĩrĩriai andũ arĩa anene na arĩa anini o ũndũ ũmwe. Mũtikanetigĩre mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo ũtuanĩri ciira nĩ wa Ngai. Ndehagĩrai ciira ũrĩa wothe wamũritũhĩra, na nĩndĩũthikagĩrĩria.
18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra maũndũ mothe marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.
19 Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Ningĩ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathire-rĩ, nĩtwoimire Horebu, tũgĩthiĩ twerekeire bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori tũtuĩkanĩirie werũ-inĩ ũcio mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo, o ũcio mweyoneire, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Kadeshi-Barinea.
20 And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkinyĩte bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori, ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aratũhe.
21 Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũcio. Ambatai mũthiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrire. Mũtikanetigĩre; kana mukue ngoro.”
22 Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.
Ningĩ inyuĩ, inyuothe mũgĩũka harĩ niĩ mũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke tũtũme andũ mathiĩ mbere iitũ magatũthigaanĩre bũrũri ũcio, matũcookerie ũhoro ũkoniĩ njĩra ĩrĩa twagĩrĩirwo kũgerera na matũũra marĩa tũgũkora.”
23 So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.
Rĩciiria rĩu ngĩona rĩ-rĩega; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthuura andũ ikũmi na eerĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, o mũhĩrĩga hakiuma mũndũ ũmwe.
24 Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.
Makiumagara makĩambata bũrũri ũcio, wa irĩma, magĩkinya Gĩtuamba kĩa Eshikoli na magĩtuĩria ũhoro wakĩo.
25 And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
Nĩmakuire matunda mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio, magĩtũrehere, na magĩtũcookeria ũhoro atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ araatũhe nĩ mwega.”
26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God,
No inyuĩ mũtiendaga kwambata mũthiĩ kuo; nĩ mwaremeire rĩathani rĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu.
27 And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.
Mũkĩnugunĩka mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hema cianyu, mũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩatũthũire; nĩkĩo aatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri oke atũneane moko-inĩ ma Aamori nĩguo matũniine.
28 Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.
Tũngĩgĩthiĩ na kũ? Ariũ a ithe witũ nĩmatũmĩte tũũrwo nĩ hinya tondũ maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ acio marĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra, na nĩ araihu kũrĩ ithuĩ; matũũra mao nĩ manene mũno, na mairigĩirwo na thingo ikinyĩte o matu-inĩ. O na nĩtũronire ariũ a Anaki kuo.’”
29 But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them.
Niĩ na niĩ ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamake, na mũtikametigĩre.
30 The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,
Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrathiĩ amũtongoretie, nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, o ta ũrĩa aamũrũĩrĩire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu,
31 And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.
na kũu werũ-inĩ kũu nĩmuonire Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa aamũtwaraga amũkuuĩte, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ athiiaga akuuĩte mũriũ, akĩmũkuua kũrĩa guothe mwagereire nginya mũgĩkinya gũkũ.”
32 Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God,
No o na muonete ũguo-rĩ, mũtiigana kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai wanyu,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.
ũrĩa wathiiaga amũtongoretie mũrĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwanyu arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, na arĩ itu-inĩ mũthenya, na akamũcaragĩria kũrĩa mũngĩamba hema o na akamuonagia njĩra ĩrĩa mũkũgera.
34 Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Rĩrĩa Jehova aaiguire ũrĩa mwoigire, akĩrakara na akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu ũkoona bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa ndehĩtire atĩ nĩngaũhe maithe manyu ma tene,
36 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
tiga o Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune. Nĩakawona, na nĩngamũhe bũrũri ũcio aakinyĩte na magũrũ make, marĩ na njiaro ciake, tondũ nĩarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro yake kũna.”
37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,
O na niĩ Jehova nĩandakarĩire akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “O nawe ndũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio.
38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.
No ndungata yaku, Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni nĩakaũtoonya. Mũmagĩrĩrie, tondũ nĩwe ũgaatongoria Isiraeli mathiĩ makaũgae.
39 Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ anyu arĩa anini arĩa mwoigire atĩ nĩmagatahwo, na ciana cianyu o icio itakũũranĩte wega na ũũru, nĩigatoonya bũrũri ũcio. Nĩngaũheana kũrĩ o, nao megwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.
40 But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea.
No inyuĩ-rĩ, hũndũkai, mumagare mũthiĩ na njĩra ya werũ-inĩ mũrorete Iria Itune.”
41 Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũkĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũhĩtĩirie Jehova. Nĩtũkwambata tũkarũe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ inyuothe o mũndũ o mũndũ akĩĩoha indo ciake cia mbaara, mwĩciirĩtie atĩ nĩ ũndũ mũhũthũ kwambata mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
42 But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies.
No Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Meere ũũ, ‘Tigai kwambata mũkarũe, tondũ ndigũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũgũtoorio nĩ thũ cianyu.’”
43 And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ ngĩmwĩra, no mũtiigana kũnjigua. Nĩmwaremeire watho wa Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa rũnano rwanyu mũkĩambata mũgĩthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
Nao Aamori arĩa maatũũraga kũu irĩma-inĩ makĩmũtharĩkĩra, makĩmũingata ta mĩrumbĩ ya njũkĩ, nao makĩmũhũũra kuuma Seiru o nginya Horoma.
45 And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.
Mwacookire mũgĩũka mũkĩrĩraga mbere ya Jehova, no ndaigana kũrũmbũiya kĩrĩro kĩanyu, na akĩrega kũmũthikĩrĩria.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgĩikara kũu Kadeshi matukũ maingĩ, ihinda rĩu rĩothe mwaikarire kuo.
