< Deuteronomy 6 >

1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;
Na rĩrĩ, maya nĩmo maathani, na watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aanjathire ndĩmũrute nĩgeetha mũmamenyagĩrĩre mũrĩ bũrũri ũcio mũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũthiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu.
2 that you might fear Jehovah your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
Nĩgeetha inyuĩ na ciana cianyu, na ciana ciao iria igooka thuutha mwĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra muoyo, na ũndũ wa kũmenyerera watho wake wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na maathani marĩa mothe ngũmũhe, na nĩguo mũtũũre mũkenete matukũ maingĩ.
3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Atĩrĩrĩ wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria na ũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkaga nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, na ningĩ nĩgeetha mũingĩhe mũno mũrĩ bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrĩire.
4 Hear, Israel: Jehovah is our God, Jehovah is one.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria: Jehova Ngai witũ, we wiki nowe Jehova.
5 And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na hinya waku wothe.
6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
Maathani maya ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ ũreke matũũre ngoro-inĩ yaku.
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Ũmarutage ciana ciaku na kĩyo. Aragia ũhoro wamo rĩrĩa ũikarĩte gwaku mũciĩ na rĩrĩa ũgũthiĩ na njĩra, o na rĩrĩa ũkomete na rĩrĩa wokĩra.
8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Mohagĩrĩre guoko-inĩ gwaku marĩ imenyithia, na ũmohagĩrĩre ũthiũ-inĩ waku.
9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.
Maandĩke hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba ciaku, o na ũmaandĩke ihingo-inĩ ciaku.
10 It shall be, when Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaagũkinyia bũrũri ũcio erĩire maithe maku na mwĩhĩtwa: akĩĩrĩra Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, atĩ nĩagakũhe bũrũri ũrĩ na matũũra manene, mega, ũtaakĩte wee mwene,
11 and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;
na akũhe nyũmba ciyũrĩte indo njega cia mĩthemba yothe, no tiwe mwene ũciyũrĩtie kuo, na ithima ũteenjete wee mwene, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa ũtaahandĩte wee mwene; hĩndĩ ĩyo warĩa na wahũũna,
12 then beware lest you forget Jehovah, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
ũkaamenyerera ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, agĩkũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
13 You shall fear Jehovah your God; and you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths by his name.
Wĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai waku, ũmũtungatĩre o we wiki, na rĩrĩa ũkwĩhĩta ũgwetage rĩĩtwa rĩake.
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;
Ndũkanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, ngai cia andũ arĩa makũrigiicĩirie;
15 for Jehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, na marakara make nĩmagagũũkĩrĩra magũcine, na makũniine biũ ũthire bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
16 Do not test Jehovah your God, as you tested him at Massah.
Mũtikanagerie Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa mwekire kũu Masa.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Mũtikanaage kũmenyerera maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, na irĩkanĩro, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, marĩa akũheete ũrũmagĩrĩre.
18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore to your fathers,
Ĩkaga maũndũ marĩa moonagwo nĩ Jehova magĩrĩire na mega, nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, nĩguo ũthiĩ ũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa Ngai eerĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa,
19 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken.
atĩ nĩakaingata thũ cianyu ciothe ciehere mbere yaku, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you mean?"
Matukũ-inĩ ma thuutha, rĩrĩa mũrũguo agaakũũria atĩrĩ, “Gĩtũmi kĩa irĩkanĩro icio, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai aamwathĩte mũrũmagĩrĩre, nĩ kĩĩ?”
21 then you shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Ũkaamũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ithuĩ twarĩ ngombo cia Firaũni kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no Jehova agĩtũruta bũrũri ũcio wa Misiri na ũndũ wa guoko gwake kwa hinya.
22 and Jehovah showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Nĩtweyoneire na maitho maitũ Jehova akĩringa ciama na agĩĩka maũndũ ma kũgegania, maũndũ manene mũno na ma kũmakania, akĩmeeka kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, o na kũrĩ Firaũni na andũ a nyũmba yake yothe.
23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
No nĩatũrutire kuuma kũu nĩgeetha atũrehe gũkũ nĩguo atũhe bũrũri ũyũ eerĩire maithe maitũ ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
24 Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
Nake Jehova agĩtwatha twathĩkagĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na twĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩgeetha tũgaacagĩre hĩndĩ ciothe, na tũtũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he has commanded us."
Na ithuĩ tũngĩmenyerera gwathĩkĩra watho ũyũ wothe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte-rĩ, ũcio nĩ ũgaatuĩka ũthingu witũ.”
