Deuteronomy 23
1 Neither he that hath been mutilated by crushing, nor he that hath had his privy member cut off, shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũhakũre na ũndũ wa kũhihinywo kana gũtinio kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none of his enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
Gũtirĩ mwana ũciarĩtwo kuuma ũhiki-inĩ mũgirie, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
3 Neither an Ammonite nor a Moabite shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none that belong to them enter into the convocation of Yahweh, unto times age-abiding:
Gũtirĩ Mũamoni kana Mũmoabi, kana mũndũ o wothe wa rũciaro rwake, ũgaatoonya kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova, o nginya rũciaro rwa ikũmi.
4 because they met you not with bread and water, in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, —but hired against thee Balaam son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
Nĩgũkorwo matiigana gũũka kũmũtũnga na mĩgate na maaĩ mũrĩ njĩra mũkiuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na ningĩ nĩmarĩhire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori kuuma Pethori kũu Mesopotamia nĩguo oke amũrume.
5 Nevertheless, Yahweh thy God consented not to hearken unto Balaam, but Yahweh thy God turned, for thee, the curse into a blessing, —because Yahweh thy God loved thee.
O na kũrĩ o ro ũguo-rĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria Balamu, no aagarũrire kĩrumi kĩu gĩgĩtuĩka kĩrathimo harĩ inyuĩ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamwendete.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their welfare, —all thy days, unto times age-abiding.
Mũtikanagĩe kĩrĩko gĩa gũtũũra ũrata nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra muoyo.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for thy brother, he is, —thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, for a sojourner, becamest thou in his land;
Mũtikanamene Mũedomu nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu. Mũtikanamene Mũmisiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩmwatũire mũrĩ ageni bũrũri wake.
8 the sons who are born to them, of the third generation, may enter unto them in the convocation of Yahweh.
Andũ a rũciaro rwa gatatũ arĩa magaaciarwo nĩo, no matoonye kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova.
9 When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then shalt thou beware of everything foul.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũngĩamba kambĩ mũngʼethanĩire na thũ cianyu, mũtikahutanie na kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu.
10 When there is in thy midst a man who is not clean through a mischance of the night, then shall he go forth unto the outside of the camp, he shall not come into the midst of the camp;
Mũndũ mũrũme ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu angĩkorwo nĩathaahĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũrĩa ũmũkorete ũtukũ, nĩakoima na kũu nja ya kambĩ aikare kuo.
11 but it shall be, when the evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water, —and at the going in of the sun, he shall come into the midst of the camp.
No rĩrĩ, gwatua gũtuka nĩethambe, na riũa rĩgĩthũa no acooke kambĩ-inĩ.
12 And a place aside, shalt thou have, without the camp, —whither thou canst go forth abroad;
Thondekai handũ nja ya kambĩ harĩa mũrĩthiiaga gwĩteithia.
13 and a blade, shalt thou have upon thy staff, —so shall it be, that when thou wouldest sit down outside, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which hath passed from thee:
Harĩ indo cianyu cia wĩra-rĩ, gĩagai na kĩndũ gĩa gũcimbaga nakĩo, na rĩrĩa mũndũ athiĩ gwĩteithia, akenja irima agathika kĩoro gĩake.
14 for, Yahweh thy God, walketh to and fro in the midst of thy camp, to rescue thee, and to deliver up thine enemies before thee, so shall thy camps be holy, —and he shall see in thee no shameful thing, that he should turn away from following thee.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩaceraceeraga kũu kambĩ-inĩ yanyu nĩguo amũgitĩre na aneane thũ cianyu kũrĩ inyuĩ. Kambĩ yanyu no nginya ĩtuĩke theru, nĩgeetha ndakanoone ũndũ ũtagĩrĩire gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nake amweherere.
15 Thou shalt not deliver up a slave unto his lord, —one who maketh his escape unto thee, from his lord:
Ngombo ĩngĩgakorwo yũrĩire gwaku, ndũkanamĩneane kũrĩ mwathi wayo.
16 with thee, shall he remain in thy midst, in the place which he shall choose in any of thy gates where it seemeth good to him, —thou shalt not oppress him.
Reke ĩtũũre gatagatĩ kanyu kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩenda na itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe rĩrĩa ĩngĩthuura. Ndũkanamĩhinyĩrĩrie.
17 There shall be no female devotee of the daughters of Israel, —neither shall there be, a male devotee, of the sons of Israel.
Gũtirĩ Mũisiraeli, mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja, ũgaatuĩka mũmaraya wa ihooero.
18 Thou shalt not bring the wages of an unchaste woman, or the hire of a dog, into the house of Yahweh thy God for any vow, —for, an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, are they both.
Mũtikanarehe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mbeeca ithũkũmĩtwo na njĩra ya ũmaraya wa andũ-a-nja kana wa arũme irĩ cia kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa o na ũrĩkũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire maũndũ macio meerĩ.
19 Thou shalt not lend on interest to thy brother, interest of silver, interest of food, —interest of any thing that can be lent on interest:
Ndũkanarĩhie mũrũ wa ithe wanyu uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmũheete, ũrĩ wa mbeeca kana irio kana wa kĩndũ kĩngĩ o gĩothe kĩngĩrehe uumithio.
20 to a foreigner, thou mayest lend on interest, but to thy brother, shalt thou not lend on interest, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in everything where-unto thou puttest thy hand, upon the land which thou art entering to possess.
No ũrĩhie mũndũ wa kũngĩ uumithio wa kĩndũ ũmuohoreire, no ti mũrũ wa ithe wanyu Mũisiraeli, nĩgeetha Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimage maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre.
21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt not delay to make it good, —for Yahweh thy God would, require, it of thee, and it should be in thee sin.
Ũngĩkeehĩta mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ndũgekĩre mũhũthia kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai waku ndarĩ hĩndĩ atagakũũria ũndũ ũcio, na nĩũgatuuo nĩwĩhĩtie.
22 But, if thou refrain from vowing, it shall not be in thee sin.
No ũngĩaga kwĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa, ndũgaakorwo wĩhĩtie.
23 That which goeth forth out of thy lips, thou must observe and do, —according as thou didst vow unto Yahweh thy God the free-will, offering of which thou didst speak with thy mouth.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wothe mĩromo yaku ĩriugaga no nginya ũũhingagie, nĩ ũndũ wehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku na kanua gaku wĩyendeire.
24 When thou enterest into the vineyard of thy neighbour, then mayest thou eat grapes at thy pleasure to thy fill, -but into thy vessel, shalt thou put none.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũrĩe thabibũ nginya ũhũũne, no ndũgekĩre o na ĩmwe kĩondo-inĩ gĩaku.
25 When thou enterest the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck off ears with thy hand, —but a sickle, shalt thou not wield against the standing corn of thy neighbour.
Ũngĩtoonya mũgũnda wa ngano wa mũndũ ũngĩ, no ũbute magira mayo na moko, no ndũkanagethe ngano ĩyo yake.
