< Exodus 34 >

1 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, —and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Icũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere, na nĩngũciandĩka ciugo iria ciaandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ iria cia mbere, iria woragire.
2 and be thou ready by the morning, —and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;
Wĩhaarĩrie rũciinĩ, ũcooke wambate kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Ũrũgame mbere yakwa hau kĩrĩma igũrũ.
3 and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, —and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.
Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkwambatania hamwe nawe kana onekane handũ o hothe kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ; o na gũtikagĩe ndũũru cia mbũri kana cia ngʼombe ingĩrĩithio kũu mbere ya kĩrĩma.”
4 So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and took in his hand two tables of stone.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩicũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere na akĩroka kwambata kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai rũciinĩ tene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; agĩthiĩ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ na moko.
5 And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and took his station with him there, —and proclaimed himself by the name Yahweh.
Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ itu-inĩ, akĩrũgama hau harĩ we, na akĩanĩrĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake, Jehova.
6 So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, —Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:
Agĩkĩhĩtũkĩra mbere ya Musa akĩanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, Jehova, Ngai ũrĩa mũcaayanĩri na mũtugi, ũtahiũhaga kũrakara, ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendani na wĩhokeku,
7 Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons’ sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.
ũtũũragia wendani kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, na akohanagĩra waganu, na ũremi, o na mehia. No rĩrĩ, ndaagaga kũherithia arĩa mehĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana na ciana ciacio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.”
8 Then Moses made haste, —and bent his head towards the earth and bowed himself down;
Musa agĩkĩinamĩrĩra thĩ o rĩmwe, akĩhooya.
9 and said—If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, —although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku, ndagũthaitha Mwathani twarana na ithuĩ. O na gũtuĩka aya nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo-rĩ, tuohere waganu witũ o na mehia maitũ, na ũtũme tũtuĩke igai rĩaku.”
10 And he said—Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant, -in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, —so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.
Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Nĩndĩrĩĩkaga morirũ matarĩ mekwo rũrĩrĩ-inĩ o na rũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe mbere ya andũ aya aku othe. Andũ arĩa mũtũũranagia nao nĩmakeyonera ũrĩa niĩ, Jehova, ngeeka ũndũ wa kũmakania nĩ ũndũ waku.
11 Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, —behold me! driving out from before thee—the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Athĩkĩra ũrĩa ngũgwatha ũmũthĩ. Nĩngarutũrũra Aamori, na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi mbere yaku makweherere.
12 Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, —Lest he become a snare in thy midst;
Wĩmenyerere ndũkagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio ũrathiĩ, matigatuĩke mũtego harĩwe.
13 For their altars, shall ye smash, And their pillars, shall ye shiver, —And their sacred-stems, shall ye fell.
Nĩmũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũthethere mahiga mao maamũre, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera.
14 For thou shalt not bow thyself down to another GOD, —For as for Yahweh, Jealous, is his name, A jealous GOD, he is:
Mũtikanahooe ngai ĩngĩ o na ĩrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Mũigua Ũiru, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru.
15 Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, —And then as surely as they go unchastely after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, So surely will he invite thee, And thou wilt eat of his sacrifice;
“Mwĩmenyererei mũtikagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio; nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa maahũũra ũmaraya na ngai ciao na magacirutĩra iruta, nĩmarĩmwĩtaga, na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩrĩĩaga indo cia magongona macio mao.
16 And thou wilt take of his daughters for thy sons, —And his daughters will go unchastely after their gods, And will cause thy sons to go unchastely after their gods.
Na rĩrĩa mũngĩthuura airĩtu amwe ao matuĩke atumia a aanake anyu, nao airĩtu acio mahũũre ũmaraya na ngai ciao, nĩmakonereria ariũ anyu gwĩka ũguo.
17 Molten gods, shalt thou not make to thee.
“Ndũkanathondeke mĩhianano ya gũtwekio.
18 The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep, seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, which I commanded thee, at the set time, in the month Abib, —for in the month Abib, camest thou forth out of Egypt.
“Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Handũ-inĩ ha mĩthenya mũgwanja, rĩĩagai mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, o ta ũrĩa ndaamwathire. Ĩkagai ũndũ ũyũ ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya mweri-inĩ wa Abibu, nĩgũkorwo nĩguo mweri ũrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
19 Every one that is the first to be born, is mine, —and every one of thy cattle that is born a male, firstling of oxen or sheep.
“Irigithathi rĩa nda o yothe nĩ rĩakwa, hamwe na marigithathi mothe ma njamba ma mahiũ manyu, marĩ ma kuuma ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe kana cia mbũri.
20 But the firstling of an ass, thou mayst redeem with a lamb, and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck. Every firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou redeem, and he must not see my face, with empty hand.
Irigithathi rĩa ndigiri ũrĩrĩkũũraga na gatũrũme, no ũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra, riune ngingo. Nao ariũ aku a marigithathi ũmakũũrage. “Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩũkaga mbere yakwa moko matheri.
21 Six days, shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day, shalt thou rest, —in plowing time and in harvest, shalt thou rest.
“Rutaga wĩra mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja ũhurũkage; o na hĩndĩ ya icimba na ya magetha no nginya ũhurũke.
22 And the festival of weeks, shalt thou make to thee, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, —and the festival of ingathering, at the closing in of the year:
“Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Ciumia, na maciaro ma mbere ma magetha ma ngano, na Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Gũcookereria irio makũmbĩ-inĩ mũthia-inĩ wa mwaka.
23 three times in the year, shall every one of thy males see the face of the Lord Yahweh the God of Israel.
Arũme anyu othe no nginya mokage mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, maita matatũ o mwaka.
24 For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, —and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.
Nĩngarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ imweherere, na nĩnganenehia mĩhaka ya bũrũri wanyu na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacumĩkĩra bũrũri wanyu rĩrĩa mũrĩkoragwo mũkĩambata maita matatũ o mwaka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
25 Thou shalt not slay, along with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice, —neither shall remain to the morning, the sacrifice of the festival of the passover.
“Ndũkanandutĩre thakame ya igongona ĩtukanĩte na kĩndũ gĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, na mũtikanareke kĩndũ kĩa igongona rĩa Bathaka kĩraare nginya rũciinĩ.
26 The beginning of the firstfruits of thy ground, shalt thou bring into the house of Yahweh, thy God, Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
“Rehagai maciaro ma mbere marĩa mega mũno ma mĩgũnda yanyu, mũmarehage nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu. “Mũtikanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.”
27 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words, have I solemnized with thee, a covenant, and with Israel.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ciugo ici, nĩgũkorwo kũringana na ciugo ici, nĩndagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe o na Isiraeli.”
28 So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.
Musa aikarire na Jehova hau matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, atekũrĩa irio kana akanyua maaĩ. Na agĩkĩandĩka ihengere-inĩ icio ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na nĩcio Maathani marĩa Ikũmi.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.
Rĩrĩa Musa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai arĩ na ihengere igĩrĩ cia Ũira moko-inĩ make, ndaamenyaga atĩ ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga nĩ ũndũ nĩarĩtie na Jehova.
30 And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto him.
Rĩrĩa Harũni na andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire Musa, ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga, nao magĩĩtigĩra kũmũkuhĩrĩria.
31 So then Moses called unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the assembly returned unto him, —and Moses spake unto them.
No Musa akĩmeeta; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni na atongoria othe a mũingĩ magĩcooka harĩ we, nake akĩmaarĩria.
32 And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
Thuutha ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩmũkuhĩrĩria, nake akĩmahe mawatho mothe marĩa Jehova amũheete kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
33 And when Moses had made an end of speaking with them, he put over his face a veil:
Rĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũmaarĩria, akĩĩhumbĩra ũthiũ wake na taama wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ.
34 but, as often as Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he put aside the veil until he came out, —and, as often as he came out and spake unto the sons of Israel, that which he had been commanded,
No rĩrĩa rĩothe aatoonyaga harĩ Jehova maranĩrie, nĩarutaga taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya oime ho. Na rĩrĩa oka kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli na aameera ũrĩa aathĩtwo,
35 the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone, —so Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with him.
makona ũthiũ wake o ũkengete. Nake Musa agacookia taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ agaathiĩ kwaria na Jehova.
