< Deuteronomy 15 >
1 Every seven years you shall make a release.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira, no nginya mũkarekanagĩra mathiirĩ.
2 And this [is] the ordinance of the release: you shall remit every private debt which your neighbor owes you, and you shall not ask payment of it from your brother; for it has been called a release to the Lord your God.
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 stranger you shall ask again whatever he has of your, but to your brother you shall remit his debt to you.
No mũrandũre mũndũ wa kũngĩ thiirĩ, no rĩrĩ, no nginya mũrekanĩre thiirĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ naguo.
4 For [thus] there shall not be a poor person in the midst of you, for the Lord your God will surely bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you by inheritance, that you should inherit 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 And if you shall indeed listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep and do all these commandments, as many as I charge you this day,
angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu biũ, o na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmagĩrĩra maathani maya mothe ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
6 (for the Lord your God has blessed you in the way of which he spoke to you, ) then you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũrathima ta ũrĩa eeranĩire, na nĩmũgakombagĩra ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, no inyuĩ mũtigaakombaga harĩ cio. Nĩmũgaathaga ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, no cio itikamwathaga.
7 And if there shall be in the midst of you a poor [man] of your brethren in one of your cities in the land, which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, neither shall you by any means close up your hand from your brother who is in lack.
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 You shall surely open your hands to him, and shall lend to him as much as he wants according to his need.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba mũmũtambũrũkĩrie guoko, na mũmũkombithie kĩrĩa gĩothe akaabatario nĩkĩo.
9 Take heed to yourself that there be not a secret thing in your heart, an iniquity, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, draws near; and your eye shall be evil to your brother that is in lack, and you shall not give to him, and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and there shall be great sin in you.
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 You shall surely give to him, and you shall lend him as much as he wants, according as he is in need; and you shall not grudge in your heart as you give to him, because on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your works, and in all things on which you shall lay your hand.
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 not fail off your land, therefore I charge you to do this thing, saying, You shall surely open your hands to your poor brother, and to him that is distressed upon your 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 And if your brother [or sister], a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, be sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall send him out free from you.
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 you shall send him out free from you, you shall not send him out empty.
Na rĩrĩa ũkaamũrekereria, ndũkanareke athiĩ moko matheri.
14 You shall give him provision for the way from your flock, and from your corn, and from your wine; as the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to 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 you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
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 if he should say to you, I will not go out from you, because he continues to love you and your house, because he is well with you;
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 you shall take an awl, and bore his ear through to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever; and in like manner shall you do to your maidservant.
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 to you when they are sent out free from you, because [your servant] has served you six years according to the annual hire of a hireling; so the Lord your God shall bless you in all things whatever you may do.
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 Every firstborn that shall be born among your kine and your sheep, you shall sanctify the males to the Lord your God; you shall not work with your firstborn calf, and you shall not shear the firstborn of your sheep.
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 You shall eat it before the Lord year by year in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your house.
O mwaka, wee na andũ a nyũmba yaku nĩmũgacirĩĩagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai waku handũ harĩa agaathuura.
21 And if there be in it a blemish, if it be lame or blind, an evil blemish, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your 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 You shall eat it in your cities; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner, as the doe or the stag.
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 you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
No mũtikarĩĩage thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o ta maaĩ.
