Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on 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 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on 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 you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name 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 You shall not do so to Jehovah your God.
Mũtikanahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio ihooyaga ngai ciacio.
5 But to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there 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 there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock:
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 you shall eat before Jehovah your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Jehovah 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 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;
Mũtikaneke ta ũrĩa tũreka tũrĩ gũkũ ũmũthĩ, o ũrĩa mũndũ aroona kwagĩrĩire,
9 for you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Jehovah your God gives you.
tondũ mũtirĩ mũraakinya ũhurũko-inĩ kana igai-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe.
10 But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that 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 it shall happen that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to your God.
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 You shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion 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 Be careful that you do not offer 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 Jehovah 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 within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Jehovah your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the deer.
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 you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
No mũtikanarĩe thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o taarĩ maaĩ.
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave 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 shall eat them before Jehovah your God in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God in all that you put your hand to.
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 Be careful that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
Menyererai mũtikanarekererie Alawii hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio wanyu.
20 When Jehovah your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, "I want to eat meat," because your soul desires to eat meat; you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.
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 Jehovah your God shall choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which God has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
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 gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it 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 do not eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall 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 out on 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 eyes of Jehovah.
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 to the place which Jehovah 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, on the altar of Jehovah your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Jehovah 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 and do all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah 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 Jehovah your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess 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 not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? I will 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 to Jehovah your God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn 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 Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Tigĩrĩra atĩ nĩ weka maũndũ mothe marĩa ngwathĩte; ndũkanongerere ũndũ kana ũrutarute.
