Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, out of his house.
Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia na age gũkenio nĩwe nĩ ũndũ wa kũmuona na ũndũ ũtagĩrĩire, nake mũndũ ũcio amwandĩkĩre marũa ma ndigano, amũnengere na amũingate oime gwake mũciĩ,
2 And, when she cometh forth out of his house, then may she go her way, and become another man’s.
na thuutha wa kuuma gwake mũciĩ, mũtumia ũcio atuĩke mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ,
3 But if the latter husband hate her, and write her a scroll of divorcement and put it into her hand, and send her away out of his house, —or, if the latter husband die, who had taken her to him to wife,
nake mũthuuriwe ũcio wa keerĩ age kũmwenda, na amwandĩkĩre marũa ma ndigano, amũnengere na amũingate oime gwake mũciĩ, kana mũthuuri ũcio wa keerĩ akue,
4 then may her first husband who sent her away not again take her to become his wife after that she hath been defiled, for that were an abomination, before Yahweh, —lest thou bring sin upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
mũthuuri wake ũrĩa warĩ wa mbere, ũrĩa wamũingatire, ndetĩkĩrĩtio kũmũhikia rĩngĩ thuutha wa gũkorwo arĩkĩtie gũthũkio. Ũcio ũngĩtuĩka ũndũ ũrĩ thaahu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Mũtikanarehe wĩhia bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu.
5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, —free, shall he be for his own house one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath taken.
Mũndũ angĩkorwo no hĩndĩ arahikanirie, ndakanatũmwo mbaara-inĩ kana aheo wĩra ũngĩ o wothe. Ihinda rĩa mwaka mũgima, nĩarekwo aikare mũciĩ ambe akenie mũtumia wake ũcio ahikĩtie.
6 No man shall take in pledge a handmill, or an upper millstone, —for he would be taking life, in pledge.
Ndũkanoe mahiga meerĩ ma gĩthĩi ma mũndũ ũrĩ na thiirĩ waku, o na kana ũthiĩ na ihiga rĩa igũrũ riiki atĩ nĩguo rĩrũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ ũcio, nĩ ũndũ gwĩka ũguo no ta kuoya muoyo wa mũndũ ũcio.
7 When a man is found stealing any person from among his brethren of the sons of Israel, and making merchandise of him, or selling him, then shall that thief die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
Mũndũ angĩnyiitwo aiyĩte mũrũ wa ithe Mũisiraeli akamũtua ta ngombo kana akamwendia, mũici ũcio no nginya ooragwo. No nginya mũniine ũũru wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
8 Take heed, in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do, —according to all that the priests the Levites shall direct you, as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
Ha ũhoro wa mĩrimũ ya mangũ, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũno gwĩka o ũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio Alawii, makaamũruta. No nginya mũrũmĩrĩre wega ũrĩa ndĩmathĩte.
9 Remember that which Yahweh thy God did to Miriam, —by the way, as ye came forth out of Egypt.
Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu eekire Miriamu mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ mwarĩkia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
10 When thou lendest thy neighbour a loan of anything, thou shalt not enter into his house to secure his pledge:
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũngĩkombithia mũndũ wa itũũra kĩndũ o gĩothe, ndũkanatoonye nyũmba yake, ũgĩĩre kĩrĩa eranĩire atĩ nĩakaruta kĩrũgamĩrĩre.
11 outside, shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou art lending, shall bring forth unto thee his pledge outside,
Ikara nja ũreke mũndũ ũcio ũkombithĩtie kĩndũ akũrehere kĩrĩa eranĩire hau nja.
12 And, if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep in his pledge:
Mũndũ ũcio angĩkorwo arĩ mũthĩĩni, ndũkanaraarie kĩu eeranĩire.
13 thou shalt, restore, to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, so shall he sleep in his own mantle, and bless thee, —and, unto thee, shall it be righteousness before Yahweh thy God.
Mũcookerie kabuti gake riũa rĩtanathũa nĩgeetha ehumbe agĩkoma. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩagagũcookeria ngaatho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũkonwo ũrĩ gĩĩko kĩa ũthingu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai waku.
14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, —of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy gates;
Ndũkanahinyirĩrie mũndũ wa kũrĩhwo ũrĩa mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, arĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu Mũisiraeli kana mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũtũũraga itũũra rĩmwe rĩa matũũra manyu.
15 for his day, shalt thou give his hire neither shall the sun, go in upon it, for, poor, he is, and, unto it, is he lifting up his soul, —lest he cry out against thee, unto Yahweh, and it be, in thee a sin.
Mũrĩhe mũcaara wake wa o mũthenya riũa rĩtanathũa, nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũthĩĩni na mũcaara ũcio nĩguo ehokete. Kwaga ũguo, aahota gũkaĩra Jehova igũrũ rĩaku, nawe woneke wĩhĩtie harĩ Jehova.
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor shall sons, be put to death for fathers, —every man, for his own sin, shall he put to death.
Maithe ma ciana matikooragwo nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma ciana ciao, kana ciana ciũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma maithe; o mũndũ arĩkuaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the sojourner [or] the fatherless, —neither shalt thou take in pledge the garment of a widow;
Ndũkanaagithie mũndũ wa kũngĩ kana mwana wa ngoriai kĩhooto ciira-inĩ, kana woe kabuti ka mũtumia wa ndigwa karũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ.
18 so shalt thou remember that, a servant, becamest thou in Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, from thence, —therefore, am I commanding thee to do this thing.
Ririkanaga warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri, na Jehova Ngai waku nĩagũkũũrire ũkiuma kuo. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
19 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, —that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.
Rĩrĩa ũkũgetha mũgũnda waku, ũngĩriganĩrwo nĩ gĩtĩĩa, ndũgagĩcookere. Gĩtigĩre mũndũ wa kũngĩ, na mwana wa ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa, nĩgeetha Jehova Ngai waku akũrathimage wĩra-inĩ wothe wa moko maku.
20 When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not glean after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũhũrũra ndamaiyũ kuuma mĩtĩ-inĩ yaku, tigaga gũcookera honge ciaguo riita rĩa keerĩ. Tigagĩria andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa matigari.
21 When thou cuttest off the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not go about picking after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong:
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũgetha thabibũ mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ, ndũgacooke kũhaara rĩngĩ iria ciatigwo. Tigagĩra mũndũ wa kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa matigari.
22 so shalt thou remember that a servant, becamest thou in the land of Egypt, —therefore, am I commending thee to do this thing.
Ririkanaga atĩ warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
