Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers.
Maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ ma kũrũmĩrĩra mamenyagĩrĩrei nĩgeetha mũtũũre, na mũingĩhe, na mũtoonye mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova erĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũtongoririe njĩra-inĩ yothe kũu werũ-inĩ mĩaka ĩyo mĩrongo ĩna, akĩenda mwĩnyiihie na amũgerie nĩguo amenye maũndũ marĩa maarĩ ngoro-inĩ cianyu, kana hihi nĩmũkamenyagĩrĩra maathani make kana aca.
3 And he afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Nĩatũmire mwĩnyiihie, na akĩreka mũhũte agĩcooka akĩmũhũũnia na mana, marĩa mũtaamenyete kana makamenywo nĩ maithe manyu, nĩgeetha amũrute atĩ ti irio ciki ingĩtũũria mũndũ muoyo, no nĩ kiugo o gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩngiuma kanua ka Jehova.
4 Thy garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not swell, these forty years.
Nguo cianyu itiigana gũtuĩka kana magũrũ manyu makĩimba ihinda-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
5 And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so doth the Lord thy God chasten thee.
Kĩmenyei na ngoro cianyu atĩ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahũũraga mũriũ akĩmũrũnga, ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu amũhũũraga.
6 And thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Menyagĩrĩrai maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, mũthiage na njĩra ciake na mũmwĩtigagĩre.
7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũtwara bũrũri mwega mũno, bũrũri ũrĩ tũrũũĩ, na ũrĩ tũria twa maaĩ, na ithima cia maaĩ megũtherera kũu cianda-inĩ o na irĩma-inĩ;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of honey;
bũrũri ũrĩ na ngano na cairi, na ũrĩ na mĩthabibũ na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, ningĩ nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ na maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ na ũũkĩ;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.
nĩ bũrũri ũtakanyiihia irio, na inyuĩ mũtirĩ kĩndũ mũkaaga, bũrũri ũrĩa mahiga maguo arĩ igera, na no mwenje icango irĩma-inĩ ciaguo.
10 And when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa mũhũũne, mũkaagooca Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri ũcio mwega amũheete.
11 Take heed unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, mwage kũmenyerera maathani make na mawatho make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
12 That when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Kwaga ũguo, mwarĩa mwahũũna, na mwaka nyũmba njega na mũcitũũre,
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied:
na rĩrĩa ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri ikaaneneha, nacio betha na thahabu ciongerereke, na indo ciothe iria mũrĩ nacio ikorwo ciongererekete mũno-rĩ,
14 Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro cianyu nĩikaagĩa na mwĩtĩĩo, na nĩmũkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, o we ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, akĩmũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
15 Who hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;
Nĩamũtongoririe mũgĩtũĩkanĩria werũ ũcio mũnene na wa kũmakania, bũrũri ũcio mũngʼaru ũtarĩ maaĩ, na warĩ na nyoka njũru, o na tũngʼaurũ. Nĩamũrutĩire maaĩ ihiga-inĩ rĩa nyaigĩ.
16 Who hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Nĩamũheire mana mũrĩĩre kũu werũ-inĩ, marĩa maithe manyu mataamenyete ũhoro wamo, nĩguo atũme mwĩnyiihie, na akĩmũgeria nĩgeetha thuutha-inĩ maũndũ manyu makaagĩrĩra.
17 And thou say in thy heart, My power and the strength of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
Mwahota gũkeĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũhoti witũ na hinya wa moko maitũ nĩcio ituoneire ũtonga ũyũ.”
18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
No rĩrĩ, ririkanagai Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũmũheaga ũhoti wa kwĩgĩĩra na ũtonga, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agakĩhingia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa, o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
19 And it shall come to pass, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish;
Mũngĩkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, mũcihooe na mũciinamĩrĩre, ngũmumbũrĩra mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ atĩ ti-itherũ no mũkaaniinwo.
20 Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
Mũkaaniinwo o ta ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinire agĩcieheria mbere yanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu.
