< Deuteronomy 12 >
1 These are the statutes and judgments, which all of you shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of your fathers gives you to possess it, all the days that all of you 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 All of you shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which all of you shall possess served their gods, 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 all of you shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and all of you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, 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 All of you shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
Mũtikanahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio ihooyaga ngai ciacio.
5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall all of you seek, and thither you shall 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 all of you 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 all of you shall eat before the LORD your God, and all of you shall rejoice in all that all of you put your hand unto, all of you and your households, wherein the LORD your God has blessed you.
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 All of you 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 all of you are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives you.
tondũ mũtirĩ mũraakinya ũhurũko-inĩ kana igai-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe.
10 But when all of you go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, and when he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that all of you 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 the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall all of you 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 all of you vow unto the LORD:
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 all of you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, all of you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he has 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 yourself that you offer not your burnt offerings in every place that you see:
Mwĩmenyererei mũtikanarutĩre magongona manyu ma njino handũ harĩa hothe mũngĩenda.
14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
Marutagĩrei o handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura mũhĩrĩga-inĩ ũmwe wa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, nĩho mũgeekagĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte.
15 Notwithstanding you may kill and eat flesh in all your gates, whatsoever your soul lusts after, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you: 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 all of you shall not eat the blood; all of you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
No mũtikanarĩe thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o taarĩ maaĩ.
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your corn, or of your wine, or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herds or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, or heave offering of your 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 you must eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your 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 yourself that you forsake not the Levite as long as you live upon the earth.
Menyererai mũtikanarekererie Alawii hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio wanyu.
20 When the LORD your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul longs to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, whatsoever your soul lusts 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 the LORD your God has chosen to put his name there be too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates whatsoever your soul lusts 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 you shall 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 you eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and you may not eat the life with the flesh.
No ũmenyerere ndũkanarĩe thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo, ndũkanarĩanĩrie muoyo ũcio na nyama.
24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
Ndũkanarĩe thakame; mĩite thĩ o ta maaĩ.
25 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
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 your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
No rĩrĩ, nĩũkoya indo ciaku iria nyamũre na kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe wĩhĩtĩte atĩ nĩũkaruta, ũthiĩ handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura.
27 And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD your God: and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall 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 you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you for ever, when you do that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
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 the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell 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 yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? 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 You shall not do so unto the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
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 Whatsoever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Tigĩrĩra atĩ nĩ weka maũndũ mothe marĩa ngwathĩte; ndũkanongerere ũndũ kana ũrutarute.
