Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt offer vnto the Lord thy God no bullocke nor sheepe wherein is blemish or any euill fauoured thing: for that is an abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
Mũtikanarutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona rĩa ndegwa kana rĩa ngʼondu ĩrĩ na kaũũgũ kana ũũgũ, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ thaahu harĩ Jehova.
2 If there be founde among you in any of thy cities, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickednes in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his couenant,
Mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa kũrĩa Jehova ekũmũhe, angĩoneka agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wanyu na ũndũ wa gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake,
3 And hath gone and serued other gods, and worshipped them: as the sunne, or the moone, or any of the hoste of heauen, which I haue not commanded,
na agakararia rĩathani rĩakwa akahooya ngai ingĩ, na agaciinamĩrĩra kana akainamĩrĩra riũa, kana mweri, kana njata cia matu-inĩ,
4 And it be tolde vnto thee, and thou hast heard it, then shalt thou inquire diligently: and if it be true, and the thing certaine, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
na mũmenyithio ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya mũgaatuĩria ũhoro ũcio wega. Kũngĩkorwo ũhoro ũcio nĩ wa ma, na hakorwo na ũira atĩ ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ thaahu nĩwĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli,
5 Then shalt thou bring foorth that man, or that woman (which haue committed that wicked thing) vnto thy gates, whether it be man or woman, and shalt stone them with stones, til they die.
oyai mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio mũũru mũmũtware kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩanyu inene na inyuĩ mũmũhũre na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue.
6 At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is woorthie of death, die: but at the mouth of one witnesse, he shall not die.
Na ũndũ wa ũira wa andũ eerĩ kana atatũ, mũndũ no oragwo, no gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkooragwo na ũndũ wa ũira wa mũndũ ũmwe.
7 The handes of the witnesses shall be first vpon him, to kill him: and afterward the hands of all the people: so thou shalt take the wicked away from among you.
Moko ma aira acio no nginya makorwo marĩ ma mbere ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wa kũmũũraga, na thuutha ũcio marũmĩrĩrwo nĩ moko ma andũ arĩa angĩ othe. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
8 If there rise a matter too harde for thee in iudgement betweene blood and blood, betweene plea and plea, betweene plague and plague, in the matters of controuersie within thy gates, then shalt thou arise, and goe vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse,
Kũngĩkaagĩa maciira magooti-inĩ manyu mũtangĩhota gũtua, marĩ ma ũiti wa thakame, o na ma gũtuithania mũndũ na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, kana mũndũ ũhũũrĩte ũrĩa ũngĩ, matwaragei handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura.
9 And thou shalt come vnto the Priestes of the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shall be in those daies, and aske, and they shall shewe thee the sentence of iudgement,
Thiĩi kũrĩ Alawii arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ mũtuithania ciira ũrĩa ũrĩ wĩra-inĩ ihinda rĩu. Mũmoorie ũhoro ũcio nao mamuonie ũrĩa ciira ũcio wagĩrĩire gũtuuo.
10 And thou shalt do according to that thing which they of that place (which the Lord hath chosen) shewe thee, and thou shalt obserue to doe according to all that they informe thee.
No nginya mwĩke kũringana na matua marĩa makaamũhe mũrĩ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura. Menyagĩrĩrai mwĩkage ũrĩa wothe marĩmwathaga mwĩke.
11 According to the Lawe, which they shall teach thee, and according to the iudgement which they shall tell thee, shalt thou doe: thou shalt not decline from the thing which they shall shew thee, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Ĩkagai kũringana na watho ũrĩa mamũrutĩte, na mũrũmĩrĩre matua mao marĩa mekũmũhe. Mũtikanehũgũre mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, mũtigane na ũrĩa mamwĩrĩte.
12 And that man that wil doe presumptuously, not hearkening vnto the Priest (that standeth before the Lord thy God to minister there) or vnto the iudge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away euill from Israel.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩonania kũnyarara mũtuithania ciira kana mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrũgamaga agĩtungatĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu, no nginya ooragwo. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere Isiraeli.
13 So all the people shall heare and feare, and doe no more presumptuously.
Andũ othe nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio nao metigĩre, na matigacooka gũkorwo marĩ na kĩnyararo rĩngĩ.
14 Whe thou shalt come vnto ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein, if thou say, I will set a King ouer me, like as all the nations that are about me,
Rĩrĩa mũgaathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, na mũkorwo mũwĩgwatĩire na mũgaatũũra kuo, na muuge atĩrĩ, “Rekei tũgĩe na mũthamaki witũ ta ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe itũthiũrũrũkĩirie,”
15 Then thou shalt make him King ouer thee, whome the Lord thy God shall chuse: from among thy brethren shalt thou make a King ouer thee: thou shalt not set a stranger ouer thee, which is not thy brother.
Menyererai wega mũgaathuura mũthamaki ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amwamũrĩire. No nginya akoima gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu. Mũtigathuure mũndũ wa kũngĩ atuĩke mũthamaki wanyu, mũndũ ũtarĩ mũrũ wa thoguo Mũisiraeli.
16 In any wise he shall not prepare him many horses, nor bring the people againe to Egypt, for to encrease the number of horses, seeing the Lord hath sayd vnto you, Ye shall henceforth goe no more againe that way.
Mũthamaki ũcio, o nake ndakaneingĩhĩrie mbarathi, kana atũme andũ macooke bũrũri wa Misiri makamũgĩĩrĩre ingĩ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanacooke na thuutha, mũgere njĩra ĩyo rĩngĩ.”
17 Neither shall hee take him many wiues, lest his heart turne away, neither shall he gather him much siluer and golde.
Nake ndakanahikie atumia aingĩ, nĩguo ngoro yake ndĩkanagarũrũke. Ningĩ ndakaneingĩhĩrie betha na thahabu.
18 And when he shall sit vpon the throne of his kingdo, then shall he write him this Law repeted in a booke, by the Priests of the Leuites.
Rĩrĩa agaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũthamaki, akoya ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo, eyandĩkĩre watho ũyũ, aũrutĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa riumĩte harĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩ o Alawii.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall reade therein all daies of his life, that he may learne to feare the Lord his God, and to keepe all ye words of this Lawe, and these ordinances for to doe them:
Narĩo ibuku rĩu nĩaikarage narĩo, arĩthomage matukũ marĩa mothe egũtũũra muoyo nĩguo erutage gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai, na arũmagĩrĩre wega ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ na irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo,
20 That his heart be not lifted vp aboue his brethren, and that he turne not from the commandement, to the right hand or to the left, but that he may prolong his daies in his kingdom, he, and his sonnes in the middes of Israel.
na ndagetuage mwega gũkĩra ariũ a ithe agarũrũke mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho atigane na watho. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, we na njiaro ciake nĩmagathamaka ihinda iraaya ũthamaki-inĩ wake kũu Isiraeli.
