Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Chazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Musa aarĩirie andũ a Isiraeli othe kũu werũ-inĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na kũu nĩkuo Araba, kũngʼethera Sufi, gatagatĩ ka Parani na Tofeli, na Labani, na Hazerothu na Dizahabu.
2 It is a journey of eleven days from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea'.
(Kuuma Horebu gũthiĩ Kadeshi-Barinea, kugerera njĩra ya kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru, nĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ikũmi na ũmwe.)
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according to all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them;
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩna kuuma andũ a Isiraeli moima bũrũri wa Misiri mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi na ũmwe-rĩ, Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli akĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamwathĩte ameere.
4 After he had smitten Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at 'Ashtaroth in Edre'i.
Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire thuutha wake gũkorwo atooretie Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, na ningĩ nĩatooretie Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, ũrĩa wathamakaga Ashitarothu arĩ kũu Edirei.
5 On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to explain this law, saying,
Musa arĩ kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi, nĩambĩrĩirie gũtaarĩria ũhoro wa watho ũyũ, akiuga atĩrĩ:
6 The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have tarried long enough at this mount;
Jehova Ngai witũ aatwĩrire tũrĩ kũu Horebu atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩrĩa mũikarĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩrĩiganĩte.
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mountain of the Emorites, and unto all its neighboring places, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in the southern country, and by the coast of the sea, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto the Lebanon, up to the great river, the river Euphrates.
Thariai kambĩ mũthiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori; mũthiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe iriganĩtie cia Araba, na irĩma-inĩ, na magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na Negevu o na gũtwarana na hũgũrũrũ cia iria, gũthiĩ o nginya bũrũri wa Akaanani, o na kũu Lebanoni, o nginya rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati.
8 Behold, I have given up the land before you: go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it unto them and to their seed after them.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũheete bũrũri ũyũ. Thiĩi kuo mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa akiuga nĩakaũhe maithe manyu Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, o na aũhe njiaro ciao iria igooka thuutha wao.”
9 And I said unto you at that time, as followeth, I am not able alone to bear you:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndaamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa kũmũrora nĩ mũritũ mũno, ndingĩũhota ndĩ o nyiki.
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũingĩhĩtie mũno nginya ũmũthĩ mũrĩ aingĩ o ta njata cia igũrũ.
11 May the Lord the God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are; and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you.
Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, aromũingĩhia maita ngiri, na amũrathime o ta ũrĩa eeranĩire!
12 How can I by myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife!
No rĩrĩ, ingĩhota atĩa gũkuua mathĩĩna manyu, na mĩrigo yanyu, o na maciira manyu ndĩ o nyiki?
13 Furnish for yourselves wise and understanding men, and those known among your tribes, and I will place them as chiefs over you.
Thuurai andũ oogĩ, na amenyi maũndũ, o na atĩĩku kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yanyu ndĩmatue anene mamũrorage.”
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good to do.
Inyuĩ mwanjookeirie atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio watua nĩ ũgwĩka nĩ mwega.”
15 And I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise and known men, and I set them as heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and as officers for your tribes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, acio maarĩ oogĩ na atĩĩku, ngĩmatua a kũmwathaga, marĩ atongoria a ikundi cia andũ ngiri ngiri, na cia igana igana, na cia mĩrongo ĩtano na cia ikũmi, matuĩke anene a mĩhĩrĩga.
16 And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously, between a man and his brother, and between his stranger.
Na nĩndathire atuithania ciira anyu ihinda-inĩ rĩu ngĩmeera atĩrĩ: Thikagĩrĩriai maciira gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu, na mũmatuithanagie na kĩhooto, kana nĩ ciira ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka Mũisiraeli na Mũisiraeli ũngĩ, kana Mũisiraeli na mũndũ wa kũngĩ.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; the small as well as the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of any man; for the judgment belongeth to God: and the cause that is too hard for you shall ye bring unto me, and I will hear it.
Mũtikanathutũkanie mũgĩtua ciira; thikagĩrĩriai andũ arĩa anene na arĩa anini o ũndũ ũmwe. Mũtikanetigĩre mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo ũtuanĩri ciira nĩ wa Ngai. Ndehagĩrai ciira ũrĩa wothe wamũritũhĩra, na nĩndĩũthikagĩrĩria.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra maũndũ mothe marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.
19 And we departed from Horeb, and we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye have seen, by the way of the mountain of the Emorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us; and we came as far as Kadesh-barnea'.
Ningĩ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathire-rĩ, nĩtwoimire Horebu, tũgĩthiĩ twerekeire bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori tũtuĩkanĩirie werũ-inĩ ũcio mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo, o ũcio mweyoneire, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Kadeshi-Barinea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Emorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkinyĩte bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori, ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aratũhe.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath given up the land before thee: go up and take possession of it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee; do not fear, and be not discouraged.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũcio. Ambatai mũthiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrire. Mũtikanetigĩre; kana mukue ngoro.”
22 And ye all came near unto me and said, Let us send out men before us, that they may search out for us the land, and bring us word again concerning the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
Ningĩ inyuĩ, inyuothe mũgĩũka harĩ niĩ mũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke tũtũme andũ mathiĩ mbere iitũ magatũthigaanĩre bũrũri ũcio, matũcookerie ũhoro ũkoniĩ njĩra ĩrĩa twagĩrĩirwo kũgerera na matũũra marĩa tũgũkora.”
23 And the thing was pleasing in my eyes; and I took of you twelve men, one man for every tribe:
Rĩciiria rĩu ngĩona rĩ-rĩega; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthuura andũ ikũmi na eerĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, o mũhĩrĩga hakiuma mũndũ ũmwe.
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Makiumagara makĩambata bũrũri ũcio, wa irĩma, magĩkinya Gĩtuamba kĩa Eshikoli na magĩtuĩria ũhoro wakĩo.
25 And they took in their hand some of the fruit of the land, and brought it down unto us; and they brought us word again, and said, The land which the Lord our God doth give us is good.
Nĩmakuire matunda mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio, magĩtũrehere, na magĩtũcookeria ũhoro atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ araatũhe nĩ mwega.”
26 But you would not go up, and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord your God;
No inyuĩ mũtiendaga kwambata mũthiĩ kuo; nĩ mwaremeire rĩathani rĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu.
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, On account of the hatred of the Lord toward us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us.
Mũkĩnugunĩka mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hema cianyu, mũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩatũthũire; nĩkĩo aatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri oke atũneane moko-inĩ ma Aamori nĩguo matũniine.
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have made faint our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover the sons of the 'Anakim have we seen there.
Tũngĩgĩthiĩ na kũ? Ariũ a ithe witũ nĩmatũmĩte tũũrwo nĩ hinya tondũ maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ acio marĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra, na nĩ araihu kũrĩ ithuĩ; matũũra mao nĩ manene mũno, na mairigĩirwo na thingo ikinyĩte o matu-inĩ. O na nĩtũronire ariũ a Anaki kuo.’”
29 And I said unto you, Have no dread, nor be ye afraid of them.
Niĩ na niĩ ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamake, na mũtikametigĩre.
30 The Lord your God who goeth before you, he it is who will fight for you; all just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrathiĩ amũtongoretie, nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, o ta ũrĩa aamũrũĩrĩire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu,
31 And in the wilderness which thou hast seen, where the Lord thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, on all the way that ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.
na kũu werũ-inĩ kũu nĩmuonire Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa aamũtwaraga amũkuuĩte, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ athiiaga akuuĩte mũriũ, akĩmũkuua kũrĩa guothe mwagereire nginya mũgĩkinya gũkũ.”
32 Yet in this thing do ye not believe in the Lord your God,
No o na muonete ũguo-rĩ, mũtiigana kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai wanyu,
33 Who goeth before you on the way to seek out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to cause you to see on the way in which ye are to go, and in a cloud by day.
ũrĩa wathiiaga amũtongoretie mũrĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwanyu arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, na arĩ itu-inĩ mũthenya, na akamũcaragĩria kũrĩa mũngĩamba hema o na akamuonagia njĩra ĩrĩa mũkũgera.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words; and he was wroth, and swore, saying,
Rĩrĩa Jehova aaiguire ũrĩa mwoigire, akĩrakara na akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I have sworn to give unto your fathers;
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu ũkoona bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa ndehĩtire atĩ nĩngaũhe maithe manyu ma tene,
36 Save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land upon which he hath trodden, and to his children; because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
tiga o Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune. Nĩakawona, na nĩngamũhe bũrũri ũcio aakinyĩte na magũrũ make, marĩ na njiaro ciake, tondũ nĩarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro yake kũna.”
37 also with me was the Lord angry for your sakes, saying, also thou shalt not go in thither.
O na niĩ Jehova nĩandakarĩire akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “O nawe ndũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: him encourage; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
No ndungata yaku, Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni nĩakaũtoonya. Mũmagĩrĩrie, tondũ nĩwe ũgaatongoria Isiraeli mathiĩ makaũgae.
39 And your little ones, of whom ye said, They will become a prey, and your children who know not this day either good or evil, these shall go in thither; and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ anyu arĩa anini arĩa mwoigire atĩ nĩmagatahwo, na ciana cianyu o icio itakũũranĩte wega na ũũru, nĩigatoonya bũrũri ũcio. Nĩngaũheana kũrĩ o, nao megwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
No inyuĩ-rĩ, hũndũkai, mumagare mũthiĩ na njĩra ya werũ-inĩ mũrorete Iria Itune.”
41 And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord; we indeed will go up and we will fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us; and ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye insisted to go up into the mountain.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũkĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũhĩtĩirie Jehova. Nĩtũkwambata tũkarũe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ inyuothe o mũndũ o mũndũ akĩĩoha indo ciake cia mbaara, mwĩciirĩtie atĩ nĩ ũndũ mũhũthũ kwambata mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, and do not fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
No Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Meere ũũ, ‘Tigai kwambata mũkarũe, tondũ ndigũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũgũtoorio nĩ thũ cianyu.’”
43 And I spoke unto you; but ye would not hear; and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord, and you were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ ngĩmwĩra, no mũtiigana kũnjigua. Nĩmwaremeire watho wa Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa rũnano rwanyu mũkĩambata mũgĩthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
44 And the Emorites, who dwelt in that mountain: came out against you, and they pursued you, as the bees do, and they overthrew you in Seir, as far as Chormah.
Nao Aamori arĩa maatũũraga kũu irĩma-inĩ makĩmũtharĩkĩra, makĩmũingata ta mĩrumbĩ ya njũkĩ, nao makĩmũhũũra kuuma Seiru o nginya Horoma.
45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Mwacookire mũgĩũka mũkĩrĩraga mbere ya Jehova, no ndaigana kũrũmbũiya kĩrĩro kĩanyu, na akĩrega kũmũthikĩrĩria.
46 And ye tarried in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye tarried there.
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgĩikara kũu Kadeshi matukũ maingĩ, ihinda rĩu rĩothe mwaikarire kuo.
