< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 At the terme of seuen yeeres thou shalt make a freedome.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira, no nginya mũkarekanagĩra mathiirĩ.
2 And this is the maner of the freedome: euery creditour shall quite ye lone of his hand which he hath lent to his neighbour: he shall not aske it againe of his neighbour, nor of his brother: for the yeere of the Lords freedome is proclaimed.
Ũndũ ũcio mũrĩwĩkaga ũũ: mũkombithania o wothe nĩarĩrekanagĩra thiirĩ o wothe ũrĩa akombeire Mũisiraeli ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ndakarandũra Mũisiraeli ũrĩa ũngĩ thiirĩ kana mũrũ wa ithe, nĩ ũndũ ihinda rĩa Jehova rĩa kũrekanĩra mathiirĩ nĩrĩhunjanĩirio.
3 Of a stranger thou mayest require it: but that which thou hast with thy brother, thine hand shall remit:
No mũrandũre mũndũ wa kũngĩ thiirĩ, no rĩrĩ, no nginya mũrekanĩre thiirĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ naguo.
4 Saue when there shall be no poore with thee: for the Lord shall blesse thee in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, for an inheritance to possesse it:
No rĩrĩ, gũtiagĩrĩire gũkorwo na mũndũ mũthĩĩni thĩinĩ wanyu, nĩgũkorwo mũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu-rĩ, nĩakamũrathima mũno,
5 So that thou hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God to obserue and doe all these commandements, which I commande thee this day.
angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu biũ, o na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmagĩrĩra maathani maya mothe ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
6 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, as he hath promised thee: and thou shalt lend vnto many nations, but thou thy selfe shalt not borow, and thou shalt reigne ouer many nations, and they shall not reigne ouer thee.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũrathima ta ũrĩa eeranĩire, na nĩmũgakombagĩra ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, no inyuĩ mũtigaakombaga harĩ cio. Nĩmũgaathaga ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, no cio itikamwathaga.
7 If one of thy brethren with thee be poore within any of thy gates in thy land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poore brother:
Kũngĩgaakorwo na mũndũ mũthĩĩni gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe-rĩ, mũtikanamũmĩrie ngoro, kana mũtuĩke akarĩ kũrĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu ũcio mũthĩĩni.
8 But thou shalt open thine hand vnto him, and shalt lend him sufficient for his neede which he hath.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba mũmũtambũrũkĩrie guoko, na mũmũkombithie kĩrĩa gĩothe akaabatario nĩkĩo.
9 Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thine heart, to say, The seuenth yeere, the yeere of freedome is at hand: therefore it grieueth thee to looke on thy poore brother, and thou giuest him nought, and he crie vnto the Lord against thee, so that sinne be in thee:
Mwĩmenyererei mũtikanagĩe na meciiria mooru, mũkoiga atĩrĩ: “Mwaka wa mũgwanja, mwaka ũrĩa wa kũrekanĩra mathiirĩ ũrĩ hakuhĩ,” nĩguo mũtikagĩe na ngoro njũru, mwage gũtaanahĩra mũrũ wa ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũbataire, kana mwage kũmũhe kĩndũ. Nake hĩndĩ ĩyo no akaĩre Jehova nĩ ũndũ wanyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkonwo mwĩhĩtie.
10 Thou shalt giue him, and let it not grieue thine heart to giue vnto him: for because of this the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in al thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand to.
Heagai mũndũ ta ũcio na ũtaana, na mwĩkage ũndũ ũcio na ngoro itarĩ na ũũru; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩarĩmũrathimaga mawĩra-inĩ manyu mothe, o na maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga.
11 Because there shall be euer some poore in the land, therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand vnto thy brother, to thy needie, and to thy poore in thy land.
Nĩkũrĩkoragwo na andũ athĩĩni hĩndĩ ciothe bũrũri-inĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwatha mũtuĩke ataana kũrĩ ariũ a ithe wanyu, na kũrĩ andũ arĩa athĩĩni o na abatari arĩa marĩkoragwo bũrũri-inĩ wanyu.
12 If thy brother an Ebrewe sell himselfe to thee, or an Ebrewesse, and serue thee sixe yeere, euen in the seuenth yeere thou shalt let him goe free from thee:
Mũrũ wa ithe wanyu Mũhibirania, arĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, angĩĩyendia kũrĩ we na agũtungatĩre mĩaka ĩtandatũ-rĩ, mwaka wa mũgwanja wakinya no nginya ũkaamũrekereria athiĩ.
13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him goe away emptie,
Na rĩrĩa ũkaamũrekereria, ndũkanareke athiĩ moko matheri.
14 But shalt giue him a liberall reward of thy sheepe, and of thy corne, and of thy wine: thou shalt giue him of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
Nĩũkamũhe indo na ũtaana kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwaku, o na kuuma kĩhũrĩro-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ngano o na kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei. Ũkaamũhe indo kũringana na ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku akũrathimĩte.
15 And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God deliuered thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
Ririkanaga atĩ o na we warĩ ngombo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no Jehova Ngai waku agĩgũkũũra. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩatũma ngũhe rĩathani rĩu ũmũthĩ.
16 And if he say vnto thee, I will not go away from thee, because he loueth thee and thine house, and because he is well with thee,
No rĩrĩ, ndungata yaku ĩngĩgakwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikwenda gũgũtiga,” nĩ ũndũ nĩĩkwendete na ĩkenda andũ a nyũmba yaku, na nĩ ũndũ nĩyonaga gwaku gwĩ kwega-rĩ,
17 Then shalt thou take a naule, and perce his eare through against the doore, and he shall be thy seruant for euer: and vnto thy maid seruant thou shall doe likewise.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgakĩnyiita mũkuha, ũmĩtũrĩkie gũtũ ĩrĩ hau mũrango-inĩ, ĩtuĩke ndungata yaku mũtũũrĩre wayo wothe. Ũguo noguo ũgeeka ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
18 Let it not grieue thee, when thou lettest him goe out free from thee: for he hath serued thee sixe yeeres, which is the double worth of an hired seruant: and the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all that thou doest.
Ndũkone taarĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya kũrekereria ndungata yaku ĩthiĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũtungata ũrĩa ĩgũtungatĩire mĩaka ĩyo ĩtandatũ nĩ ta maita meerĩ ma mũcaara wa mũndũ wa kwandĩkwo. Nake Jehova Ngai waku nĩarĩkũrathimaga maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ũrĩĩkaga.
19 All the first borne males that come of thy cattell, and of thy sheepe, thou shalt sanctifie vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt do no worke with thy first borne bullocke, nor sheare thy first borne sheepe.
Rutagĩra Jehova Ngai waku marigithathi mothe ma njamba kuuma ndũũru-inĩ ciaku cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri. Ndũkanatware marigithathi maku ma ndegwa wĩra-inĩ, na ndũkanamure marigithathi maku ma ngʼondu guoya.
20 Thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God yeere by yeere, in the place which the Lord shall chose, both thou, and thine household.
O mwaka, wee na andũ a nyũmba yaku nĩmũgacirĩĩagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai waku handũ harĩa agaathuura.
21 But if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or haue any euill fault, thou shalt not offer it vnto the Lord thy God,
Nyamũ ĩngĩgakorwo ĩrĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩkorwo ĩgĩthua kana ĩrĩ ndumumu, kana ĩkorwo na ũũgũ o na ũrĩkũ-rĩ, mũtikanamĩrutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona.
22 But shalt eate it within thy gates: the vncleane, and the cleane shall eate it alike, as the roe bucke, and as the hart.
Mũkaamĩrĩĩra o kũu matũũra-inĩ manyu. No ĩrĩĩo nĩ arĩa marĩ na thaahu na arĩa matarĩ na thaahu, o taarĩ thiiya kana thwariga maraarĩa.
23 Onely thou shalt not eate the blood thereof, but powre it vpon the ground as water.
No mũtikarĩĩage thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o ta maaĩ.
