< Deuteronomy 15 >

1 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira, no nginya mũkarekanagĩra mathiirĩ.
2 This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because the LORD's release has been proclaimed.
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 foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.
No mũrandũre mũndũ wa kũngĩ thiirĩ, no rĩrĩ, no nginya mũrekanĩre thiirĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ naguo.
4 However there shall be no poor with you; (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess 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 if only you diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.
angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu biũ, o na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmagĩrĩra maathani maya mothe ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
6 For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you: and 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 If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
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 but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba mũmũtambũrũkĩrie guoko, na mũmũkombithie kĩrĩa gĩothe akaabatario nĩkĩo.
9 Be careful lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand"; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to 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 must surely give to him, and your heart is not to be grieved when you give to him; because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.
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 will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in 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 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go 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 When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:
Na rĩrĩa ũkaamũrekereria, ndũkanareke athiĩ moko matheri.
14 you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress, in proportion 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 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.
Ririkanaga atĩ o na we warĩ ngombo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no Jehova Ngai waku agĩgũkũũra. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩatũma ngũhe rĩathani rĩu ũmũthĩ.
16 It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you"; because he loves 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 thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
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 you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and the LORD your God will bless you in all that you 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 All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
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 your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
O mwaka, wee na andũ a nyũmba yaku nĩmũgacirĩĩagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai waku handũ harĩa agaathuura.
21 If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, 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 within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.
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 its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
No mũtikarĩĩage thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o ta maaĩ.
