< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.
Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ũmenyagĩrĩre maũndũ marĩa endaga, arĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho make, na maathani make hĩndĩ ciothe.
2 And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons [do I speak] who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, —his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;
Ririkana ũmũthĩ atĩ ciana ciaku itionire na itiamenyire kũherithania kwa Jehova Ngai waku: o na itionire ũnene wake na guoko gwake kũrĩa kũrĩ hinya, o na guoko gwake gũtambũrũkĩtio;
3 and his signs and his doings, which he did in the midst of Egypt, —unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto all his land;
o na ciama iria aaringire, na maũndũ marĩa eekire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na kũrĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, na bũrũri wake wothe;
4 and what he did unto the forces of Egypt—unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, —and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);
na ũrĩa eekire mbũtũ cia ita cia bũrũri wa Misiri, na mbarathi ciao, na ngaari ciao cia ita, na ũrĩa aamahubĩkanirie na maaĩ ma Iria Itune hĩndĩ ĩyo maathingatanĩte nao, na ũrĩa Jehova aamarehithĩirie mũthiro wa gũtũũra.
5 and what he did unto you, in the desert, —until ye came in as far as this place;
Ciana cianyu ticio cionire ũrĩa aamwĩkĩire mũrĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, nginya rĩrĩa mwakinyire gũkũ;
6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, in that the earth opened wide her mouth, and swallowed-up them and their households and their tents, —and all the living things that attended them, in the midst of all Israel.
o na ũrĩa eekire Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu ũrĩa Mũrubeni, rĩrĩa thĩ yamaathamĩirie kanua kayo marĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli othe, thĩ ĩkĩmameria hamwe na nyũmba ciao, na hema ciao, na kĩrĩa gĩothe maarĩ nakĩo.
7 For yours, are the eyes that have seen every great deed of Yahweh, —which he hath done.
No nĩ maitho manyu meeyoneire maũndũ macio mothe manene marĩa Jehova ekĩte.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, —that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio menyagĩrĩrai maathani mothe marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ, nĩgeetha mũgĩe na hinya wa gũtoonya na wa gũtunyana bũrũri ũrĩa mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũkawĩgwatĩre,
9 and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, —a land flowing with milk and honey.
na nĩgeetha mũgaatũũra matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩakahe maithe manyu ma tene na njiaro ciao, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
10 For the land which thou art entering to, possess, not like the land of Egypt, it is, from whence ye came out, —where thou didst sow thy seed, and then water it with thy foot, like a garden of herbs;
Bũrũri ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũkaũtunyane ndũhaana ta bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa muumĩte, kũrĩa mwahaandaga mbegũ cianyu na mũgaciunithagĩria maaĩ na magũrũ taarĩ mũgũnda wa mboga.
11 but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, —which of the rain of the heavens, doth drink water:
No rĩrĩ, bũrũri ũrĩa mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũkegwatĩre nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ irĩma na cianda iria inyuuaga maaĩ ma mbura kuuma igũrũ.
12 a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, —continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.
Nĩ bũrũri ũmenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu; maitho ma Jehova Ngai wanyu maikaraga maũcũthĩrĩirie kuuma kĩambĩrĩria kĩa mwaka nginya mũthia waguo.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, —to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũngĩathĩkĩra maathani marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ mũrĩ na wĩhokeku, na mwendage Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũmũtungatagĩre na ngoro cianyu ciothe na muoyo wanyu wothe-rĩ,
14 then [saith he] I will give the rain of your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; so shalt thou gather in thy corn, and thy new wine and thine oil;
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngoiria mbura bũrũri wanyu kĩmera kĩayo gĩakinya, mbura ya mũringo na ya gũkũria irio, nĩgeetha mũgaacookagĩrĩria ngano yanyu, na ndibei ya mũhihano na maguta.
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle, —and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.
Nĩngatũma kũgĩe na nyeki ithaka-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼombe cianyu, na mũkarĩĩaga mũkahũũna.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, —and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaguucĩrĩrio, mũgarũrũke mũhooe ngai ingĩ na mũciinamĩrĩre.
17 So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that there should be no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, —so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.
Mũngĩkaguucĩrĩrio, marakara ma Jehova nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra mamũcine, na nĩakahinga igũrũ nĩgeetha gũtikoire nayo thĩ yage kũruta maciaro, na inyuĩ nĩmũgathira o narua mwehere bũrũri ũcio mwega Jehova aramũhe.
18 Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, —and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;
Igaai ciugo ici ciakwa ngoro-inĩ cianyu na meciiria-inĩ manyu; ciohagĩrĩrei moko-inĩ manyu irĩ imenyithia, na mũciohagĩrĩre mothiũ-inĩ manyu.
19 and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, —when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
Cirutagei ciana cianyu, na mũciaragie rĩrĩa mũikarĩte kwanyu mĩciĩ na rĩrĩa mũrathiĩ na njĩra, na rĩrĩa mũkomete na rĩrĩa muokĩra.
20 and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates:
Ciandĩkei hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba cianyu o na mũciandĩke ihingo-inĩ cianyu,
21 that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, —like the days of the heavens upon the earth.
nĩgeetha matukũ manyu na matukũ ma ciana cianyu maingĩhe kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩakahe maithe manyu ma tene; maingĩhe o ta matukũ marĩa igũrũ rĩgũtũũra rĩ igũrũ wa thĩ.
22 For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, —to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
Mũngĩmenyerera wega maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe mũmarũmagĩrĩre, mwendage Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũthiage na njĩra ciake ciothe na mũikarage mwĩgwatanĩtie nake-rĩ,
23 then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, —and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye:
hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakaingata ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe ciehere mbere yanyu, na inyuĩ mwĩgwatĩre kũndũ kũu kwa ndũrĩrĩ nene na irĩ hinya kũmũkĩra.
24 every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, —from the desert and the Lebanon from the river—the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.
Kũndũ guothe kũrĩa mũgaakinyithia makinya manyu gũgaatuĩka kwanyu; bũrũri wanyu ũkoima werũ-inĩ ũkinye Lebanoni, na uume Rũũĩ rwa Farati ũkinye iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa ithũĩro.
25 No man shall stand before you, —the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria. O ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩagatũma mwĩtigĩrwo nĩ andũ a bũrũri wothe kũrĩa guothe mũgaathiĩ.
26 See! I am setting before you to-day, —a blessing, and a curse:
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũmũthĩ ndĩramũigĩra kĩrathimo mbere yanyu na ngamũigĩra kĩrumi,
27 the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
ndĩramũigĩra kĩrathimo angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ;
28 and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, —to go after other gods which ye know not.
na ngamũigĩra kĩrumi angĩkorwo nĩmũrĩagaga gwathĩkĩra maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu mũgatiga gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ngũmwatha ũmũthĩ, na ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, iria mũtooĩ.
29 And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.
Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu akaamũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre, nĩmũkanĩrĩra ũhoro wa kĩrathimo kĩu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Gerizimu, nakĩo kĩrumi mũheanĩre ũhoro wakĩo kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali.
30 Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher’s Terebinths?
O ta ũrĩa mũũĩ, irĩma icio irĩ kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mwena wa ithũĩro wa njĩra kwerekera na kũrĩa riũa rĩthũagĩra, gũkuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya More, kũu bũrũri wa andũ a Kaanani arĩa matũũraga Araba gũkuhĩ na Giligali.
31 For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, —so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.
Mũrĩ hakuhĩ kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtoonye mũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe. Rĩrĩa mũgaakorwo mũwoete na mũgatũũra kuo-rĩ,
32 Therefore shall ye observe to do all the statutes and the regulations, —which I am setting before you to-day.
menyagĩrĩrai gwathĩkĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
