< Deuteronomy 28 >
1 “If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
Ũngĩathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai waku kũna na ũmenyerere maathani make mothe marĩa ngũkũhe ũmũthĩ, Jehova Ngai waku nĩagagũtũũgĩria igũrũ rĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ.
2 If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
Irathimo ici ciothe nĩ igagũkinyĩra na itwaranage nawe ũngĩathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai waku:
3 He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
Nĩũkarathimĩrwo kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, na ũrathimĩrwo mĩgũnda-inĩ.
4 He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
Ũciari wa nda yaku nĩũkarathimwo, o na ũrathimĩrwo maciaro ma mũgũnda waku na maciaro ma mahiũ maku, nĩmo njaũ cia ngʼombe ciaku na tũũri twa ndũũru ciaku cia mbũri.
5 He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Kĩondo gĩaku o na ndĩrĩ yaku ya gũkandĩra mũtu nĩikarathimwo.
6 He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Nĩũrĩrathimagwo rĩinũkĩro-inĩ rĩa gwaku mũciĩ o na riumagarĩro-inĩ.
7 Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
Jehova nĩarĩĩtũmaga thũ iria ingĩarahũka igũũkĩrĩre ihootagĩrwo mbere yaku. Irĩkũhithũkagĩra na njĩra ĩmwe, no irĩkũũragĩra na njĩra mũgwanja.
8 Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
Jehova nĩagatũma kĩrathimo kũu makũmbĩ-inĩ maku o na ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũngĩka na moko maku. Jehova Ngai waku nĩagakũrathimĩra bũrũri-inĩ ũcio arakũhe.
9 “If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
Jehova nĩagakũhaanda agũtue rũrĩrĩ rwake rũtheru o ta ũrĩa aakwĩrĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, ũngĩmenyerera maathani ma Jehova Ngai waku na ũthiiage na njĩra ciake.
10 “When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nacio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia gũkũ thĩ nĩcikoona atĩ wĩtanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, nacio nĩigagwĩtigĩra.
11 “And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
Jehova nĩagakũhe ũgaacĩru mũingĩ, akũgaacĩrithie ũciari-inĩ wa nda yaku, na maciaro-inĩ ma ũhiũ waku, na maciaro-inĩ ma mĩgũnda yaku, kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa erĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩagakũhe.
12 “When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
Jehova nĩakahingũra igũrũ, o kũu kũrĩ nyũmba cia mũthiithũ wa indo iria aheanaga, nĩguo oirĩrie bũrũri waku mbura hĩndĩ yayo yakinya, na arathime wĩra wothe wa moko maku. Nĩũgakombagĩra ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ indo, no wee ndũgakomba kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
13 If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
Jehova agaagũtua wa gũtongoria, no ti wa kũrigia. Ũngĩrũmbũiya maathani ma Jehova Ngai waku marĩa ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ, na ũmenyerere ũmarũmĩrĩre, ũrĩkoragwo hĩndĩ ciothe ũrĩ wa mbere na ndũgatuĩka wa kũrigagia.
14 [Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
Ndũkanehũgũre mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho ũtigane na rĩathani o na rĩmwe rĩa maya ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ, kana ũrũmagĩrĩre ngai ingĩ na ũcitungatagĩre.
15 But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
No rĩrĩ, ũngĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai waku, na wage kũrũmĩrĩra wega maathani make mothe na irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo iria ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ, irumi ici ciothe nĩigagũkinyĩrĩra:
16 He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
Nĩũkanyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi ũrĩ itũũra-inĩ inene o na ũnyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi ũrĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ.
17 He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Kĩondo gĩaku na ndĩrĩ yaku ya gũkandĩrwo mũtu nĩikanyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi.
18 He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
Ũciari wa nda yaku nĩũkanyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, o na irio cia mũgũnda waku, na mahiũ maku, ma njaũ cia ngʼombe na tũũri twa ndũũru ciaku cia mbũri.
19 He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Nĩũkanyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi rĩinũkĩro-inĩ rĩa gwaku mũciĩ, na ũnyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi ũkiumagara.
20 If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
Jehova nĩagakũrehithĩria irumi, na kĩrigiicano, na ikũũma ũndũ-inĩ ũrĩa wothe ũrĩĩkaga na guoko gwaku, nginya akũniine ũthire na ihenya nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhia ũrĩa wĩkĩte wa kũmũtiganĩria.
21 Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Jehova nĩagakũhũũra na mĩrimũ nginya akũniine wehere bũrũri ũrĩa ũratoonya ũwĩgwatĩre.
22 Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
Jehova nĩagakũhũũra na mũrimũ wa kũhũrũrũka mwĩrĩ, na wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, na wa kũrugĩka, na agũcine na ũrugarĩ mũingĩ, na kwaga mbura, na mbaa na mbuu, maũndũ macio makũhũũre nginya makũniine.
23 There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
Matu marĩa marĩ igũrũ wa mũtwe waku nĩmagatuĩka gĩcango, nakuo thĩ waku gũtuĩke kĩgera.
24 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
Jehova nĩagatũma mbura ya bũrũri waku ĩtuĩke rũkũngũ na mũtutu; ĩgaakuurĩra yumĩte igũrũ nginya ũniinwo.
25 Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
Jehova nĩagatũma ũhootwo nĩ thũ ciaku. Ũgaacihithũkĩra na njĩra ĩmwe, no ũciũrĩre na njĩra mũgwanja, na nĩ ũgaatuĩka kĩndũ kĩ magigi harĩ mothamaki mothe ma thĩ.
26 [You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
Ciimba ciaku igaatuĩka irio cia nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ na cia nyamũ cia gũkũ thĩ, na gũtikagĩa mũndũ wa gũcihahũra ciũre.
27 Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
Jehova nĩagakũhũũra na mahũha marĩa ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na mĩrimũ ya ngaaĩ, na ironda iratogota, na ũhere, na ndũkahona.
28 Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
Jehova nĩagakũhũũra na ũgũrũki na ũtumumu, na kĩrigiicano kĩa meciiria.
29 [Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
Nĩũgathiĩ ũkĩhambatagĩria kũrĩ mũthenya barigici ta mũndũ mũtumumu arĩ nduma-inĩ. Ndũkagaacĩra ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũgeeka; mũthenya o mũthenya nĩũkahinyagĩrĩrio na ũgatunywo indo ciaku, hatarĩ mũndũ ũngĩgũteithũra.
30 Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
Nĩ ũkaagĩa kĩrĩĩko na mũndũ-wa-nja gĩa kũmũhikia, no mũndũ ũngĩ nĩakamuoya akome nake. Nĩũgaka nyũmba no ndũkamĩtũũra. Nĩũkahaanda mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ no ndũkambĩrĩria gũkenera maciaro mayo.
31 Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
Ndegwa yaku nĩĩgathĩnjwo ũkĩonaga na maitho maku, no ndũkamĩrĩa. Ũgaatunywo ndigiri yaku na hinya na ndĩgacookio. Ngʼondu ciaku nĩikaneanwo kũrĩ thũ ciaku na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaaciteithũkia.
32 While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
Aanake aku na airĩtu aku nĩmakaneanwo kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũngĩ, namo maitho maku mathire hinya ũkĩmacũthĩrĩria mũthenya o mũthenya, na ndũkahota gwĩka ũndũ na guoko gwaku.
33 People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
Rũrĩrĩ ũtooĩ nĩrũkarĩa irio cia bũrũri iria ũrutĩire wĩra, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ ũkaagĩa nakĩo, tiga o kũhinyĩrĩrio gũkĩru matukũ maku mothe.
34 The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
Maũndũ marĩa ũkoona nĩ magaatũma ũgũrũke.
35 Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
Jehova nĩakahũũra maru maku na magũrũ maku na mahũha marĩ ruo matangĩhona, namo mahunje kuuma makinya maku nginya ruototia rwa mũtwe waku.
36 Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
Jehova nĩagagũtwara hamwe na mũthamaki ũrĩa wĩrũgamĩirie agwathage kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ ũtooĩ kana rũkamenywo nĩ maithe manyu. Ũrĩ kũu nĩũkahooyaga ngai ingĩ, ngai cia mĩtĩ na cia mahiga.
37 When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
Ũgaatuĩka kĩndũ kĩ magigi, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo na kũnyararwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe kũu Jehova agaagũtwara.
38 You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
Ũkaahaanda mbegũ nyingĩ mũgũnda-inĩ no ũkaagetha o tũnini, nĩ ũndũ nĩikarĩĩo nĩ ngigĩ.
39 You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.

40 Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
Ũgaakorwo na mĩtĩ ya mĩtamaiyũ bũrũri-inĩ waku wothe, no ndũkahũthĩra maguta mayo, nĩ ũndũ ndamaiyũ nĩigaitĩka thĩ.

Jehova nĩagakũrehithĩria rũrĩrĩ ruumĩte kũraya, rũgũũkĩrĩre, kuuma ituri-inĩ cia thĩ, rũmbũkĩte o ta nderi, rũrĩrĩ ũtangĩmenya rwario rwa ruo,

51 They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].

54 When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.

56 Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.

O ta ũrĩa Jehova aakeneire kũmũgaacĩrithia na kũmũingĩhia, noguo agaakena akĩmũharagania na akĩmũniina. Nĩmũkamunywo mweherio bũrũri ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre.

68 Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
