Deuteronomy 9
1 Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,
Ta thikĩrĩria wee Isiraeli. Rĩu ũrorete kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ũthiĩ ũgatunye ndũrĩrĩ nene na irĩ hinya gũgũkĩra, bũrũri ũrĩ na matũũra manene mũno mathiũrũrũkĩirio na thingo ikinyĩte o igũrũ.
2 A people great and tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?
Andũ akuo marĩ hinya na nĩ araihu, nĩo Aanaki! Nĩũũĩ ũhoro wao, na nĩũiguĩte gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Nũũ ũngĩhota gwĩtiiria andũ a Anaki?”
3 Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.
No menya wega ũmũthĩ atĩ Jehova Ngai waku nĩwe ũkũringa athiĩ mbere yaku ahaana ta mwaki wa kũniinana. Nĩakamaniina; amatoorie mbere yaku. Nawe nĩũkamarutũrũra ũmaniine biũ o narua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aakwĩrĩire.
4 Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.
Jehova Ngai waku aarĩkia kũmaingata mehere mbere yaku-rĩ, ndũkaneĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Jehova andehete gũkũ ndĩĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa.” Aca, ti ũguo, no nĩ tondũ wa waganu wa ndũrĩrĩ icio, nĩkĩo Jehova egũciingata ciehere mbere yaku.
5 For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.
Ti ũthingu waku o na kana ũrũngĩrĩru waku ũgũtũma ũkegwatĩre bũrũri wacio; no nĩ tondũ wa waganu wa ndũrĩrĩ icio-rĩ, Jehova Ngai waku nĩekũmarutũrũra mehere mbere yaku nĩguo ahingie ũrĩa eehĩtire kũrĩ maithe maku, nĩo Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu.
6 Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked people.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kĩmenye atĩ ti ũthingu waku ũtũmĩte Jehova Ngai waku akũhe bũrũri ũcio mwega ũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke waku, nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo.
7 Remember, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.
Ririkanaga na ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa warakaririe Jehova Ngai waku kũu werũ-inĩ. Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa woimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩrĩa mwakinyire gũkũ, mũkoretwo mũkĩremera Jehova.
8 Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen to destroy you.
Mũrĩ kũu Horebu nĩmwatũmire marakara ma Jehova maarahũke akĩrakara nginya akĩenda kũmũniina.
9 When I was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke water:
Rĩrĩa ndaambatire kĩrĩma-inĩ nganengerwo ihengere cia mahiga, ihengere iria ciandĩkĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, nĩndaikarire kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndiarĩire irio kana ngĩnyua maaĩ.
10 Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.
Jehova nĩanengerire ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga ciandĩkĩtwo na kĩara kĩa Ngai. Ciandĩkĩtwo maathani mothe marĩa Jehova aamwarĩirie kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki, mũthenya ũrĩa mwagomanĩte.
11 And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ macio mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, maathirire-rĩ, Jehova nĩanengerire ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia mahiga, ihengere icio cia kĩrĩkanĩro.
12 And the Lord said vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.
Jehova agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka narua uume gũkũ nĩ ũndũ andũ aku arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmethũkĩtie. Nĩmagarũrũkĩte o na ihenya magatiganĩria maathani marĩa ndamaathire na nĩmethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio.”
13 Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked people.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya nĩndĩmoonete, ngoona atĩ nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo mũno!
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.
Ndekereria, nĩguo ndĩmaniine na tharie rĩĩtwa rĩao gũkũ thĩ mũhuro wa riũa. Thuutha wa ũguo njooke ngũtue rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ hinya na rũrĩ na andũ aingĩ kũmakĩra.”
15 So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩhũndũka ngĩikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma igũrũ o gĩkĩrĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki. Nacio ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia kĩrĩkanĩro ciarĩ moko-inĩ makwa.
16 Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
Rĩrĩa ndaacũthĩrĩirie, nĩndonire atĩ nĩmwehĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu; nĩ mwethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio ũhaana ta njaũ. Nĩmwagarũrũkĩte o narua mũgatiga kũrũmĩrĩra njĩra ĩrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte mũrũmagĩrĩre.
17 Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩnyiita ihengere icio igĩrĩ ngĩcirekania kuuma moko-inĩ makwa, nacio ikĩenyũkanga icunjĩ mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu.
18 And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.
Ningĩ ngĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Jehova matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndiigana kũrĩa irio kana ngĩnyua maaĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa mothe mwekĩte, mũgeeka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, mũgĩtũma arakare.
19 (For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that time also.
Nĩndetigagĩra marakara na mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũrakarĩire o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire. No Jehova nĩathikĩrĩirie o rĩngĩ.
20 Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.
Nake Jehova nĩarakarĩire Harũni o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire, no ihinda rĩu, nĩndahooeire Harũni o nake.
21 And I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.
Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩoya kĩndũ kĩu kĩanyu kĩa wĩhia, nakĩo nĩkĩo njaũ ĩyo mwathondekete, na ngĩmĩcina na mwaki. Ngĩcooka ngĩmĩthethera ngĩmĩthĩa ĩgĩtuĩka mũtutu mũhinyu ta rũkũngũ, naruo rũkũngũ rũu ngĩrũikia karũũĩ gaathereraga koimĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ.
22 Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.
O na ningĩ nĩmwarakaririe Jehova mũrĩ kũu Tabera, na Masa, na Kibirothu-Hataava.
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.
Na rĩrĩa Jehova aamũtũmire kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea, aamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũthiĩ mũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩmũheete.” No nĩ mwaremeire watho wa Jehova Ngai wanyu. Mũtiigana kũmwĩhoka kana kũmwathĩkĩra.
24 Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.
Kuuma rĩrĩa ndamũmenyire, mũtũũraga mũremeire Jehova.
25 Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde destroy you.
Nĩndegũithirie thĩ mbere ya Jehova matukũ macio mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, tondũ Jehova nĩoigĩte atĩ nĩekũmũniina.
26 And I prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.
Ngĩhooya Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani Jehova, tiga kũniina andũ aya aku, o aya igai rĩaku kĩũmbe arĩa wakũũrire na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, ũkĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwaku kwa hinya.
27 Remember thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,
Ririkana ndungata ciaku Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu. Tiga kũrora ũmũ wa ngoro cia andũ aya, na waganu wao, o na mehia mao.
28 Lest the countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.
Kwaga ũguo, bũrũri ũrĩa wee watũrutire ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ Jehova ndangĩahotire kũmakinyia bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire, na nĩ tondũ nĩamamenete-rĩ, nĩkĩo aamatwarire werũ-inĩ amooragĩre kuo.’
29 Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
No andũ aya nĩ aku, o igai rĩaku kĩumbe, arĩa warutire kũu na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, na guoko gwaku gũtambũrũkĩtio.”
