Deuteronomy 5
1 Then called Moses unto all Israel and said unto them—Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations, which I am speaking in your ears to-day, —so shall ye learn them, and observe to do them.
Musa nĩetire andũ a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Inyuĩ Aisiraeli, ta kĩiguei irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ngũmwĩra ũmũthĩ mũkĩiguaga. Mũmeerute na mũtigĩrĩre nĩ mwamarũmĩrĩra.
2 Yahweh our God, solemnised with us a covenant in Horeb:
Jehova Ngai witũ nĩarĩĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na ithuĩ kũu Horebu.
3 not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, —but with us, ourselves—these here to-day, all of us living.
Jehova ndarĩĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ na maithe maitũ oiki, no nĩarĩĩkanĩire na ithuĩ, ithuothe arĩa tũrĩ muoyo ũmũthĩ.
4 Face to face, spake Yahweh with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
Jehova aaranĩirie na inyuĩ ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki kĩrĩma igũrũ.
5 (I was standing between Yahweh and you, at that time, to declare unto you the word of Yahweh, —for ye shrank with fear from the presence of the fire, and went not up in the mount) saying: —
(Hĩndĩ ĩyo niĩ ndarũgamĩte gatagatĩ kanyu na Jehova nĩguo ndĩmwĩre ũhoro wa Jehova, nĩ tondũ nĩmwetigagĩra mwaki ũcio, na mũtiigana kwambata kĩrĩma igũrũ.) Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
6 I, am Yahweh thy God, who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants: —
“Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.
7 Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me:
“Ndũkanagĩe na ngai ĩngĩ tiga niĩ.
8 Thou shalt not make unto thee an image, any form that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
“Ndũkanethondekere mũhianano mũicũhie wa mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ, kana gũkũ thĩ, kana kĩrĩ maaĩ-inĩ marĩa marĩ mũhuro wa thĩ.
9 thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them, —for, I Yahweh thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons even unto three generations and unto four, unto them that hate me;
Ndũkanacinamĩrĩre kana ũcihooe, nĩgũkorwo niĩ Jehova Ngai waku ndĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, herithagia ciana nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana rwa andũ arĩa maathũire,
10 but shewing lovingkindness unto a thousand generation—unto them who love me, and keep my commandments:
no nĩ ngonania wendo kũrĩ njiarwa ngiri na ngiri cia andũ arĩa manyendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani makwa.
11 Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God, for falsehood, —for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood:
“Ndũkanagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku na itherũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatua atĩ mũndũ ndehĩtie ũrĩa ũgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake na itherũ.
12 Observe the sabbath day, to hallow it, —as Yahweh thy God, hath commanded thee:
“Menyagĩrĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ ũwamũrage, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte.
13 six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
Rutaga wĩra waku wothe mĩthenya ĩtandatũ,
14 but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work—thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy handmaid nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that thy servant and thy handmaid may rest, as well as thou.
no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova Ngai waku. Mũthenya ũcio ndũkanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ, wee mwene, kana mũrũguo, kana mwarĩguo, kana ndungata yaku ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ndegwa yaku, kana ndigiri yaku kana nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ yaku, kana mũgeni ũrĩ gwaku mũciĩ, nĩgeetha ndungata yaku ya mũndũ mũrũme o na ya mũndũ-wa-nja o nacio ihurũke o tawe.
15 So shalt thou remember that a servant, wast thou in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God brought thee forth from thence, with a firm hand, and with a stretched-out arm, —for this cause, hath Yahweh thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day:
Ririkanaga o nawe warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri, na atĩ nĩ Jehova Ngai waku wakũrutire kuo na njara ĩrĩ hinya na guoko kwa ũhoti gũtambũrũkĩtio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte ũmenyagĩrĩre mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, —that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:
“Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agwathĩte, nĩgeetha ũtũũre matukũ maingĩ, na maũndũ maku magĩrĩre bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku egũkũhe.
17 Thou shalt not commit murder:
“Ndũkanoragane.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery:
“Ndũkanatharanie.
19 Neither shalt thou steal:
“Ndũkanaiye.
20 Neither shalt thou testify against thy neighbour with a witness of falsehood:
“Ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo.
21 Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s wife, —neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his servant, or his handmaid, his ox or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbour’s.
“Ndũkanacumĩkĩre mũtumia wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ndũkanerirĩrie nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kana gĩthaka gĩake, kana ndungata yake ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ndegwa yake kana ndigiri yake, kana kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
22 These words, spake Yahweh unto all the convocation of you in the mount out of the midst of the fire the cloud and the thick gloom, a loud voice, and added not, —and he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me.
Macio nĩmo maathani marĩa Jehova aarĩirie ũngano wanyu wothe na mũgambo mũnene kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩu arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki, o na itu-inĩ, o na nduma ndumanu; na ndoongereire ũndũ ũngĩ. Agĩcooka akĩmaandĩka ihengere-inĩ igĩrĩ cia mahiga, akĩĩnengera.
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, the mountain also burning with fire, then drew ye near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders,
Rĩrĩa mwaiguire mũgambo ũkiuma nduma-inĩ ĩyo, na kĩrĩma gĩgĩakanaga mwaki, athuuri na atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe nĩmookire kũrĩ niĩ.
24 and ye said—Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, —this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.
Mũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai witũ nĩatuonetie riiri wake na ũnene wake, na nĩtũiguĩte mũgambo wake ũkiuma mwaki-inĩ. Ũmũthĩ nĩtwonete atĩ mũndũ no atũũre muoyo o na Ngai aarĩtie nake.
25 Now, therefore why should we die? for this great fire, will consume, us, —if we ourselves, hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, we shall die.
No rĩrĩ, tũgũkua nĩkĩ? Mwaki ũyũ mũnene ũũ nĩ ũgũtũniina, na nĩtũgũkua tũngĩigua mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai witũ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
26 For who [is there] of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũrĩ muoyo ũrĩ waigua mũgambo wa Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo akĩaria arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũiguĩte, na agatũũra muoyo?
27 Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say, —so shalt thou speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee and we will hear and do.
Wee thiĩ ũkuhĩrĩrie, ũigue ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai witũ ekuuga. Ũcooke ũũke ũtwĩre ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai witũ egũkwĩra. Nĩtũkũigua na twathĩke.”
28 And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, —and Yahweh said unto me—I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken.
Jehova nĩamũiguire rĩrĩa mwanjaragĩria, nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjiguĩte ũrĩa andũ aya makwĩrĩte. Ũhoro ũcio wothe maarĩtie nĩ mwega.
29 Oh that this their heart might remain in them to revere me, and to keep all my commandments all the days, —that it might be well with them and with their sons unto times age-abiding.
Naarĩ korwo magĩa na ngoro ya gũtũma meĩndigagĩre na matũũre marũmĩtie maathani makwa hĩndĩ ciothe, nĩguo matũũre monaga maũndũ mega o ene o na ciana ciao nginya tene!
30 Go, say unto them, —Return ye to your tents.
“Thiĩ ũmeere macooke hema-inĩ ciao.
31 Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee—all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, —that they may do [them] in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.
No wee-rĩ, ikara haha harĩ niĩ nĩgeetha ngũhe ũhoro wa maathani mothe, na irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ũrĩmarutaga nĩguo mamarũmagĩrĩre marĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ngũmahe mawĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.”
32 So then ye must observe to do, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you, —ye must not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩmenyererei nĩguo mwĩkage ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amwathĩte; mũtikarore na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
33 In all the way which Yahweh your God hath commanded you, must ye walk, —that ye may live and it be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which ye shall possess.
Thiiagai na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yothe Jehova Ngai wanyu amwathĩte, nĩguo mũtũũre muoyo na mũgaacĩre, na nĩguo mũtũme matukũ manyu maingĩhe ma gũtũũra bũrũri ũcio mũkegwatĩra.
