< Deuteronomy 25 >

1 When there shall be strife betweene men, and they shall come vnto iudgement, and sentence shall be giuen vpon them, and the righteous shall be iustified, and the wicked condemned,
Hangĩgĩa ngarari gatagatĩ ka andũ eerĩ, nĩmatware ciira ũcio igooti-inĩ, nao atuithania a ciira mamatuithanie, marekererie mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na mahĩtia, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ na mahĩtia mamũtuĩre itua.
2 Then if so be the wicked be worthy to bee beaten, the iudge shall cause him to lie downe, and to be beaten before his face, according to his trespasse, vnto a certaine nomber.
Kũngĩoneka atĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ na mahĩtia nĩagĩrĩire kũhũũrwo, mũtuithania wa ciira nĩagaathana akome ahũũrwo iboko iringaine na mahĩtia make, mũciiri ũcio akĩonaga,
3 Fortie stripes shall he cause him to haue and not past, lest if he should exceede and beate him aboue that with many stripes, thy brother should appeare despised in thy sight.
no rĩrĩ, ndakamũhũũrithie iboko makĩria ya mĩrongo ĩna. Angĩhũũrwo makĩria ya iboko icio, mũrũ wa thoguo aahota kuoneka arĩ mũmene maitho-inĩ maku.
4 Thou shalt not mousell the oxe that treadeth out the corne.
Ndũkanoohe ndegwa kanua hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩkũranga ngano ĩkĩmĩhũũra.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them dye and haue no sonne, the wife of the dead shall not marry without: that is, vnto a stranger, but his kinseman shall goe in vnto her, and take her to wife, and doe the kinsemans office to her.
Mũndũ na mũrũ wa nyina mangĩkorwo matũũranagia hamwe, na ũmwe wao akue atarĩ na mwana wa kahĩĩ, mũtumia ũcio wake ndakanahike nja ya nyũmba ĩyo. Mũrũ ũcio wa nyina na mũthuuriwe nĩakamuoya amũhikie, na amũhingĩrie bata wake o ta mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuriwe.
6 And the first borne which she beareth, shall succeede in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
Mwana wa mbere wa kahĩĩ ũrĩa agaaciara nĩwe ũgaatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩa ũcio ũkuĩte, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtikanathario rĩehere Isiraeli.
7 And if the man will not take his kinsewoman, then let his kinsewoman goe vp to the gate vnto the Elders, and say, My kinsman refuseth to rayse vp vnto his brother a name in Israel: hee will not doe the office of a kinsman vnto me.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkorwo ndekwenda kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina, mũtumia ũcio nĩagathiĩ kũrĩ athuuri hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra, ameere atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuri wakwa nĩaregete gũtũũria rĩĩtwa rĩa mũrũ wa nyina gũkũ Isiraeli. Nĩaregete kũhingia bata ũrĩa mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuri wa mũtumia agĩrĩirwo nĩ kũhingia.”
8 Then the Elders of his citie shall call him, and commune with him: if he stand and say, I wil not take her,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo athuuri acio a itũũra rĩake nĩmageta mũndũ ũcio mamwarĩrie. Mũndũ ũcio angĩgwatĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ndirenda kũmũhikia,”
9 Then shall his kinswoman come vnto him in the presence of the Elders, and loose his shooe from his foote, and spit in his face, and answere, and say, So shall it be done vnto that man, that will not buylde vp his brothers house.
mũtumia ũcio wa mũrũ wa nyina nĩakambata athiĩ harĩ we o hau harĩ athuuri acio, amũrute kĩraatũ kĩmwe gĩake, acooke amũtuĩre mata ũthiũ, amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũndũ ũrĩa warega gwaka nyũmba ya mũrũ wa nyina ekagwo.”
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him whose shooe is put off.
Rũciaro rwa mũndũ ũcio kũu Isiraeli rũgeetagwo Nyũmba ya Mũndũ Ũrutĩtwo Kĩraatũ.
11 When men striue together, one with another, if the wife of the one come neere, for to ridde her husband out of the handes of him that smiteth him, and put foorth her hand, and take him by his priuities,
Andũ eerĩ mangĩkorwo makĩrũa, nake mũtumia wa ũmwe wao oke gũteithũra mũthuuri wake kuuma kũrĩ ũcio maraarũa nake, nake amũnyiite kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari,
12 Then thou shalt cut off her hande: thine eye shall not spare her.
nĩagatinio guoko kũu gwake. Ndakanaiguĩrwo tha.
13 Thou shalt not haue in thy bagge two maner of weightes, a great and a small,
Mũtigaakoragwo na mahiga ma gũthima meerĩ mataiganainie ũritũ mondo-inĩ cianyu, rĩmwe iritũ na rĩngĩ ihũthũ.
14 Neither shalt thou haue in thine house diuers measures, a great and a small:
Mũtigakoragwo na igeri igĩrĩ itaiganaine nyũmba-inĩ cianyu, kĩmwe kĩnene na kĩmwe kĩnini.
15 But thou shalt haue a right and iust weight: a perfite and a iust measure shalt thou haue, that thy dayes may be lengthened in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
No nginya mũkoragwo na ithimi na igeri iria ciagĩrĩire na cia kwĩhokwo, nĩgeetha matukũ manyu maingĩhe ma gũtũũra bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe.
16 For all that doe such things, and all that doe vnrighteously, are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire mũndũ o wothe wĩkaga maũndũ macio, mũndũ o wothe wĩkaga maũndũ matarĩ ma wĩhokeku.
17 Remember what Amalek did vnto thee by the way, when ye were come out of Egypt:
Ririkanaga ũrĩa Aamaleki maamwĩkire mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
18 How he met thee by ye way, and smote ye hindmost of you, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast fainted and weary, and he feared not God.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwarĩ anogu na mũgathirwo nĩ hinya, nĩmacemanirie na inyuĩ rĩrĩa mwarĩ rũgendo-inĩ na makĩũraga andũ othe arĩa maarigĩtie na thuutha; makĩaga gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
19 Therefore, when the Lord thy God hath giuen thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance to possesse it, then thou shalt put out the remembrance of Amalek from vnder heauen: forget not.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu akaamũhe ũhurũko kuuma kũrĩ thũ iria ciothe imũrigiicĩirie bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu-rĩ, mũkaaniina kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩtũma Aamaleki maririkanwo gũkũ thĩ guothe. Mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ ũndũ ũcio.
