Exodus 23
1 Not you must bear a report of falsehood may not you put hand your with a wicked [person] to be a witness of injustice.
“Ndũkanamemerekie ndeto cia maheeni. Ndũgateithĩrĩrie mũndũ mwaganu na ũndũ wa kũrũgamĩrĩra ũira wa maheeni.
2 Not you must be after many [people] to wicked deeds and not you must testify on a case at law by turning aside after many [people] to thrust aside.
“Ndũkarũmanĩrĩre na mũingĩ gwĩka ũũru. Ũngĩruta ũira igooti-inĩ, ndũkogomie kĩhooto ũkĩnyiitanĩra na mũingĩ,
3 And a poor [person] not you must show partiality in case at law his.
na ndũkonanie kĩmenyano harĩ mũndũ mũthĩĩni ciira-inĩ wake.
4 If you will meet [the] ox of enemy your or donkey his wandering off certainly you will return it to him.
“Ũngĩona ndegwa kana ndigiri ya mũndũ mũrĩ ũthũ nake yũrĩte-rĩ, tigĩrĩra atĩ nĩwamĩcookia kũrĩ we.
5 If you will see [the] donkey of [one who] hates you lying down under load its and you will refrain from leaving it certainly you will let [it] loose with him.
Ũngĩona ndigiri ya mũndũ ũgũthũire ĩgwĩte ĩkaremererwo nĩ mũrigo wayo-rĩ, ndũkamĩtige hau; no nginya ũmũteithie kũmĩũkĩria.
6 Not you must turn aside [the] justice of needy [person] your in case at law his.
“Ndũkanaime andũ anyu arĩa athĩĩni kĩhooto ciira-inĩ wao.
7 From a word of falsehood you will be distant and an innocent [person] and a righteous [person] may not you kill for not I will declare righteous a wicked [person].
Ndũkahutanie na thitango ya maheeni, na ndũkoorage mũndũ ũtarĩ na mahĩtia kana mũndũ mwĩhokeku, nĩgũkorwo ndikarekereria mũndũ mwĩhia.
8 And a bribe not you must take for bribe it makes blind clear-sighted [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].
“Ndũkoe ihaki, nĩgũkorwo ihaki nĩrĩtũmaga arĩa monaga matuĩke atumumu, na rĩkoogomia ciugo cia andũ arĩa athingu.
9 And a sojourner not you must oppress and you you have known [the] life of the sojourner for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.
“Ndũkahatĩrĩrie mũgeni; inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ ũrĩa mũgeni aiguaga, tondũ mwarĩ ageni bũrũri wa Misiri.
10 And six years you will sow land your and you will gather produce its.
“Haandaga irio mĩgũnda yaku mĩaka ĩtandatũ, na ũkagetha irio iria iciarĩte mĩaka ĩyo,
11 And the seventh [year] you will let rest it and you will leave fallow it and they will eat [the] needy [people] of people your and excess their it will eat [the] animal[s] of the field thus you will do to vineyard your to olive grove your.
no mwaka wa mũgwanja ũkarekaga mũgũnda ũikare ũguo ũtarĩmĩtwo na ũtekũhũthĩrwo. Nao arĩa athĩĩni gatagatĩ ka andũ anyu makonaga irio kuuma mũgũnda ũcio, nacio nyamũ cia gĩthaka ikarĩĩaga kĩrĩa marĩtigagia. Ĩkaga o ũguo na mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ na wa mĩtamaiyũ.
12 Six days you will do work your and on the day seventh you will rest so that it may rest ox your and donkey your so he may refresh himself [the] child of female slave your and the sojourner.
“Rutaga wĩra waku mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja ndũkanarute wĩra, nĩgeetha ndegwa na ndigiri yaku ihurũke, nayo ngombo ĩrĩa ĩciarĩirwo gwaku, kana mũgeni, o nao magĩage na ihinda rĩa kũnogoka.
13 And to all that I have said to you you will take heed and [the] name of gods other not you will bring to remembrance not it will be heard on mouth your.
“Menyagĩrĩra wĩkage maũndũ marĩa mothe ngwĩrĩte. Ndũkanagwete marĩĩtwa ma ngai ingĩ; ndũkareke maiguuo makĩgwetwo na kanua gaku.
14 Three feet you will celebrate a festival to me in the year.
“Gĩagai na gĩathĩ gĩa gũkũngũĩra maita matatũ o mwaka.
15 [the] festival of The unleavened bread you will keep seven days you will eat unleavened bread just as I commanded you to [the] appointed time of [the] month of Abib for in it you came out from Egypt and not they will present themselves face my empty.
“Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate Ĩtarĩ na Ndawa ya Kũimbia; handũ ha mĩthenya mũgwanja ũrĩĩage mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, o ta ũrĩa ndagwaathire. Ĩkaga ũndũ ũyũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩtuĩtwo mweri-inĩ wa Abibu, tondũ nĩ mweri-inĩ ũcio woimire bũrũri wa Misiri. “Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũrĩũkaga mbere yakwa moko matheri.

“Rehaga indo iria njega cia maciaro ma mbere nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova Ngai waku. “Ndũkanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.
20 Here! I [am] about to send an angel before you to guard you on the journey and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
“Na rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩndĩratũma mũraika athiĩ mbere yanyu, amũrangĩre njĩra-inĩ na amũkinyie handũ harĩa ndĩmũhaarĩirie.
21 Take care from before him and listen to voice his may not you cause bitterness in him for not he will forgive to transgression your for name my [is] within him.
Iguagai na mwathĩkagĩre ũrĩa ekũmwĩra. Mũtikanamũkararie tondũ ndakamũrekera ũremi wanyu, nĩgũkorwo Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩrĩ thĩinĩ wake.

23 For he will go angel my before you and he will bring you to the Amorite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I will annihilate it.
Mũraika wakwa nĩagathiĩ mbere yanyu, na amũkinyie bũrũri wa Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Akaanani, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi, na niĩ nĩngamaniina biũ.
24 Not you must bow down to gods their and not you must be enticed to serve them and not you must make like works their for completely you will tear down them and totally you will shatter into pieces sacred pillars their.
Mũtikanainamĩrĩre ngai ciao, kana mũcihooe, kana mũrũmĩrĩre mĩtugo yao. No nginya mũcianange, nayo mĩhianano ya ngai ciao cia mahiga mũmiunange tũcunjĩ.
25 And you will serve Yahweh God your and he will bless food your and water your and I will remove sickness from midst your.
Hooyagai Jehova Ngai wanyu nake, nĩarĩrathimaga irio cianyu na maaĩ manyu. Nĩndĩĩmweheragĩria mĩrimũ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu,
26 Not anyone will be miscarrying and barren in land your [the] number of days your I will complete.

“Nĩngũtũma kĩmakania gĩakwa mbere yanyu, na ndũme ndũrĩrĩ iria mũrĩĩkoragĩrĩra inyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano. Nĩndĩtũmaga thũ cianyu imũũragĩre.
28 And I will send the hornet before you and it will drive out the Hivite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] from to before you.
Nĩngatũma magi mbere yanyu, maingate Ahivi, na Akaanani na Ahiti mamweherere.
29 Not I will drive out it from before you in a year one lest it should become the land a waste and it will become many on you [the] animal[s] of the field.
No rĩrĩ, ndikamaingata o mwaka ũmwe, tondũ bũrũri wahota gũcooka gĩthaka, nacio nyamũ cia gĩthaka imũingĩhĩre mũno.
30 Little little I will drive out it from before you until that you will be fruitful and you will possess the land.
Ndĩmaingataga o kahora o kahora, nginya rĩrĩa mũkaingĩha mũhote kwĩnyiitĩra bũrũri ũcio.
31 And I will fix border your from [the] sea of reed[s] and to [the] sea of [the] Philistines and from [the] wilderness to the River for - I will give in hand your [the] inhabitants of the land and you will drive out them from before you.
“Nĩngekĩra mĩhaka yanyu kuuma Iria Itune, ndĩmĩikũrũkie nginya Iria rĩa Afilisti, na kuuma werũ-inĩ nginya Rũũĩ rwa Farati. Andũ arĩa maikaraga kũu nĩngamaneana moko-inĩ manyu, na inyuĩ mũmaingate mamweherere.
