Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which YHWH Elohim of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
Ici nĩcio irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmenyerera mũmarũmagĩrĩre mũrĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu amũheete mũwĩgwatĩre, rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their elohim, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
Mũkaananga biũ kũndũ guothe kũu igũrũ wa irĩma iria ndaaya na tũrĩma na rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe mũruru kũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio mũkegwatĩra bũrũri wacio ihooyagĩra ngai ciacio.
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their elohim, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
Mũkoinanga igongona ciacio, na mũharaganie mahiga mao marĩa maamũre, na mũcine itugĩ cia Ashera ciacio; mũtemange mĩhianano ya ngai ciao, na mũtharie marĩĩtwa ma cio mehere kũndũ kũu.
4 Ye shall not do so unto YHWH your Elohim.
Mũtikanahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio ihooyaga ngai ciacio.
5 But unto the place which YHWH your Elohim shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
No rĩrĩ, no nginya mũgaacaria handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura thĩinĩ wa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe, nĩguo haamũrĩrwo rĩĩtwa rĩake, harĩ gĩikaro gĩake. Hau nĩho mũrĩthiiaga;
6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
na nĩho mũrĩtwaraga maruta manyu ma njino na magongona manyu, na icunjĩ cianyu cia ikũmi na maruta ma mwanya, na kĩrĩa gĩothe mũrĩrutaga kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa yanyu, o na maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, na marigithathi ma ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu.
7 And there ye shall eat before YHWH your Elohim, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein YHWH thy Elohim hath blessed thee.
Mũrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, inyuĩ na andũ a nyũmba cianyu nĩmũkarĩĩaga na mũgakenera maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga na moko manyu, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũrathimĩte.
8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
Mũtikaneke ta ũrĩa tũreka tũrĩ gũkũ ũmũthĩ, o ũrĩa mũndũ aroona kwagĩrĩire,
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which YHWH your Elohim giveth you.
tondũ mũtirĩ mũraakinya ũhurũko-inĩ kana igai-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe.
10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which YHWH your Elohim giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
No nĩmũkaringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtũũre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na nĩakamũhurũkia harĩ thũ cianyu ciothe iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie, nĩgeetha mũtũũre mũtarĩ na ũgwati.
11 Then there shall be a place which YHWH your Elohim shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto YHWH:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura haamũrwo ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩho mũgaatwaraga indo ciothe iria ngũmwatha mũtwarage: nacio nĩ maruta manyu ma njino, na magongona manyu, na icunjĩ cianyu cia ikũmi na maruta manyu ma mwanya, na indo ciothe njega iria mwĩrĩire Jehova na mwĩhĩtwa.
12 And ye shall rejoice before YHWH your Elohim, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
Na mũrĩ hau, mũkenage mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, inyuĩ ene, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii a kuuma matũũra-inĩ manyu arĩa matarĩ na mĩgũnda kana igai rĩao ene.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
Mwĩmenyererei mũtikanarutĩre magongona manyu ma njino handũ harĩa hothe mũngĩenda.
14 But in the place which YHWH shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
Marutagĩrei o handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura mũhĩrĩga-inĩ ũmwe wa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, nĩho mũgeekagĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte.
15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of YHWH thy Elohim which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
No rĩrĩ, no mũthĩnjĩre nyamũ cianyu itũũra-inĩ rĩanyu o rĩothe na mũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda, o taarĩ nyama cia thwariga kana cia thiiya, mũrĩe kũringana na kĩrathimo kĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amũheete. Andũ othe, arĩa marĩ na thaahu o na arĩa matarĩ, no marĩe nyama icio.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
No mũtikanarĩe thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o taarĩ maaĩ.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
Mũtikanarĩĩre matũũra-inĩ manyu gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ngano yanyu, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta, kana marigithathi ma ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe mwĩhĩtĩte kũrutaga, kana maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, o na kana maruta ma mwanya.
18 But thou must eat them before YHWH thy Elohim in the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before YHWH thy Elohim in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
Handũ ha gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, mũrĩrĩĩagĩra indo icio mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura, inyuĩ ene, na ariũ anyu na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii a kuuma matũũra-inĩ manyu, na nĩmũrĩkenagĩra maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga na moko manyu mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
Menyererai mũtikanarekererie Alawii hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio wanyu.
20 When YHWH thy Elohim shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaakwaramĩria bũrũri waku o ta ũrĩa aakwĩrĩire, nawe wende kũrĩa nyama na uuge atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwenda nyama,” hĩndĩ ĩyo no ũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa ũngĩenda.
21 If the place which YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which YHWH hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Kũngĩkorwo handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai waku athuurĩte haamũrĩrwo Rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ hakũraihĩrĩirie-rĩ, no ũthĩnje nyamũ kuuma ndũũru-inĩ ciaku cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu iria Jehova akũheete, ta ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũrĩ o kũu matũũra-inĩ maku, no ũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa ũngĩenda.
22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
Rĩa nyama icio o ta ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa nyama cia thwariga kana cia thiiya. Andũ arĩa marĩ na thaahu na arĩa matarĩ no marĩe nyama icio.
23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
No ũmenyerere ndũkanarĩe thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo, ndũkanarĩanĩrie muoyo ũcio na nyama.
24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
Ndũkanarĩe thakame; mĩite thĩ o ta maaĩ.
25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of YHWH.
Ndũkanamĩrĩe, nĩguo maũndũ maku magĩrĩre, o na ma ciana ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku, tondũ ũrĩkoragwo ũgĩĩka maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which YHWH shall choose:
No rĩrĩ, nĩũkoya indo ciaku iria nyamũre na kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe wĩhĩtĩte atĩ nĩũkaruta, ũthiĩ handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura.
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of YHWH thy Elohim: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of YHWH thy Elohim, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
Rutĩra magongona maku ma njino, ma nyama na ma thakame kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova Ngai waku. Thakame ĩyo ya magongona macio maku no nginya ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩa Jehova Ngai waku, no nyama no ũcirĩe.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of YHWH thy Elohim.
Menyerera wathĩkĩre mawatho maya mothe ndĩragwatha, nĩgeetha maũndũ maku na ma ciana ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku maagagĩrĩre hĩndĩ ciothe, tondũ ũrĩkoragwo ũgĩĩka wega na ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai waku.
29 When YHWH thy Elohim shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Jehova Ngai waku nĩakeheria mbere yaku ndũrĩrĩ iria ũkiriĩ kũhithũkĩra ũcitunye bũrũri. No rĩrĩa ũgaacingata na ũtũũre bũrũri wacio,
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their elohim, saying, How did these nations serve their elohim? even so will I do likewise.
na ciarĩkia kũniinwo ciehere mbere yaku, wĩmenyerere ndũkanategwo na ũndũ wa gũtuĩria ũhoro wa ngai ciacio ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ndũrĩrĩ ici itungatagĩra ngai ciacio atĩa? Tũgwĩka o ta ũrĩa ciĩkaga.”
31 Thou shalt not do so unto YHWH thy Elohim: for every abomination to YHWH, which he hateth, have they done unto their elohim; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their elohim.
Ndũkanahooe Jehova Ngai waku na njĩra icio ciacio, nĩ ũndũ ikĩhooya ngai icio ciacio, nĩciĩkaga maũndũ mothe marĩa marĩ magigi marĩa Jehova athũire. O na nĩicinaga ariũ ao na airĩtu ao na mwaki marĩ magongona ma ngai ciacio.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Tigĩrĩra atĩ nĩ weka maũndũ mothe marĩa ngwathĩte; ndũkanongerere ũndũ kana ũrutarute.
