< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira, no nginya mũkarekanagĩra mathiirĩ.
2 And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the LORD'S release hath been 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 foreigner thou mayest exact it; but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release.
No mũrandũre mũndũ wa kũngĩ thiirĩ, no rĩrĩ, no nginya mũrekanĩre thiirĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ naguo.
4 Howbeit there shall be no needy among you — for the LORD will surely bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess 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 if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.
angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu biũ, o na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmagĩrĩra maathani maya mothe ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
6 For the LORD thy God will bless thee, as He promised thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over 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 there be among you a needy man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates, in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy 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 surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba mũmũtambũrũkĩrie guoko, na mũmũkombithie kĩrĩa gĩothe akaabatario nĩkĩo.
9 Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying: 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand'; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin 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 surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the LORD thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
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 For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee, saying: 'Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy poor and needy brother, 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, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years; and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go 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 lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty;
Na rĩrĩa ũkaamũrekereria, ndũkanareke athiĩ moko matheri.
14 thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
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 thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed 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 it shall be, if he say unto thee: 'I will not go out from thee'; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he fareth 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 thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door, and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy bondwoman thou shalt do 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 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years; and the LORD thy God will bless 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 firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.
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 eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
O mwaka, wee na andũ a nyũmba yaku nĩmũgacirĩĩagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai waku handũ harĩa agaathuura.
21 And if there be any blemish therein, lameness, or blindness, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto 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 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates; the unclean and the clean may eat it alike, as the gazelle, 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 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water.
No mũtikarĩĩage thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o ta maaĩ.
