Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you will love Yahweh your God and always keep his instructions, his statutes, his decrees, and his commandments.
Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ũmenyagĩrĩre maũndũ marĩa endaga, arĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho make, na maathani make hĩndĩ ciothe.
2 Notice that I am not speaking to your children, who have not known nor have they seen the punishment of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, or his outstretched arm,
Ririkana ũmũthĩ atĩ ciana ciaku itionire na itiamenyire kũherithania kwa Jehova Ngai waku: o na itionire ũnene wake na guoko gwake kũrĩa kũrĩ hinya, o na guoko gwake gũtambũrũkĩtio;
3 the signs and deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to all his land.
o na ciama iria aaringire, na maũndũ marĩa eekire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na kũrĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, na bũrũri wake wothe;
4 Neither did they see what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, or to their chariots, how he made the water of the Sea of Reeds overwhelm them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them until today,
na ũrĩa eekire mbũtũ cia ita cia bũrũri wa Misiri, na mbarathi ciao, na ngaari ciao cia ita, na ũrĩa aamahubĩkanirie na maaĩ ma Iria Itune hĩndĩ ĩyo maathingatanĩte nao, na ũrĩa Jehova aamarehithĩirie mũthiro wa gũtũũra.
5 or what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place.
Ciana cianyu ticio cionire ũrĩa aamwĩkĩire mũrĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, nginya rĩrĩa mwakinyire gũkũ;
6 They had not seen what Yahweh had done to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel.
o na ũrĩa eekire Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu ũrĩa Mũrubeni, rĩrĩa thĩ yamaathamĩirie kanua kayo marĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli othe, thĩ ĩkĩmameria hamwe na nyũmba ciao, na hema ciao, na kĩrĩa gĩothe maarĩ nakĩo.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great works of Yahweh that he did.
No nĩ maitho manyu meeyoneire maũndũ macio mothe manene marĩa Jehova ekĩte.
8 Therefore keep all the commandments that I am commanding you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land where you are going over to possess it,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio menyagĩrĩrai maathani mothe marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ, nĩgeetha mũgĩe na hinya wa gũtoonya na wa gũtunyana bũrũri ũrĩa mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũkawĩgwatĩre,
9 and that you may prolong your days in the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
na nĩgeetha mũgaatũũra matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩakahe maithe manyu ma tene na njiaro ciao, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
10 For the land, where you go in to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt, from where you came, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, like a garden of herbs;
Bũrũri ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũkaũtunyane ndũhaana ta bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa muumĩte, kũrĩa mwahaandaga mbegũ cianyu na mũgaciunithagĩria maaĩ na magũrũ taarĩ mũgũnda wa mboga.
11 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of the heavens,
No rĩrĩ, bũrũri ũrĩa mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũkegwatĩre nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ irĩma na cianda iria inyuuaga maaĩ ma mbura kuuma igũrũ.
12 a land that Yahweh your God cares for; the eyes of Yahweh your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Nĩ bũrũri ũmenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu; maitho ma Jehova Ngai wanyu maikaraga maũcũthĩrĩirie kuuma kĩambĩrĩria kĩa mwaka nginya mũthia waguo.
13 It will happen, if you will listen diligently to my commandments that I command you today, to love Yahweh your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũngĩathĩkĩra maathani marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ mũrĩ na wĩhokeku, na mwendage Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũmũtungatagĩre na ngoro cianyu ciothe na muoyo wanyu wothe-rĩ,
14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngoiria mbura bũrũri wanyu kĩmera kĩayo gĩakinya, mbura ya mũringo na ya gũkũria irio, nĩgeetha mũgaacookagĩrĩria ngano yanyu, na ndibei ya mũhihano na maguta.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be full.
Nĩngatũma kũgĩe na nyeki ithaka-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼombe cianyu, na mũkarĩĩaga mũkahũũna.
16 Pay attention to yourselves so that your heart is not deceived, and you turn aside and worship other gods and bow down to them;
Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaguucĩrĩrio, mũgarũrũke mũhooe ngai ingĩ na mũciinamĩrĩre.
17 so that the anger of Yahweh is not kindled against you; and so that he does not shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain, and the land will not yield its fruit, and so that you perish quickly from off the good land that Yahweh is giving you.
Mũngĩkaguucĩrĩrio, marakara ma Jehova nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra mamũcine, na nĩakahinga igũrũ nĩgeetha gũtikoire nayo thĩ yage kũruta maciaro, na inyuĩ nĩmũgathira o narua mwehere bũrũri ũcio mwega Jehova aramũhe.
18 Therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and soul, bind them as a sign on your hand, and let them be as frontlets between your eyes.
Igaai ciugo ici ciakwa ngoro-inĩ cianyu na meciiria-inĩ manyu; ciohagĩrĩrei moko-inĩ manyu irĩ imenyithia, na mũciohagĩrĩre mothiũ-inĩ manyu.
19 You will teach them to your children and talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
Cirutagei ciana cianyu, na mũciaragie rĩrĩa mũikarĩte kwanyu mĩciĩ na rĩrĩa mũrathiĩ na njĩra, na rĩrĩa mũkomete na rĩrĩa muokĩra.
20 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates,
Ciandĩkei hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba cianyu o na mũciandĩke ihingo-inĩ cianyu,
21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give them for as long as the heavens are above the earth.
nĩgeetha matukũ manyu na matukũ ma ciana cianyu maingĩhe kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩakahe maithe manyu ma tene; maingĩhe o ta matukũ marĩa igũrũ rĩgũtũũra rĩ igũrũ wa thĩ.
22 For if you diligently keep all these commandments that I am commanding you, so as to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him,
Mũngĩmenyerera wega maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe mũmarũmagĩrĩre, mwendage Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũthiage na njĩra ciake ciothe na mũikarage mwĩgwatanĩtie nake-rĩ,
23 then Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and mightier than yourselves.
hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakaingata ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe ciehere mbere yanyu, na inyuĩ mwĩgwatĩre kũndũ kũu kwa ndũrĩrĩ nene na irĩ hinya kũmũkĩra.
24 Every place where the sole of your foot will tread will be yours; from the wilderness to Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, to the western sea will be your border.
Kũndũ guothe kũrĩa mũgaakinyithia makinya manyu gũgaatuĩka kwanyu; bũrũri wanyu ũkoima werũ-inĩ ũkinye Lebanoni, na uume Rũũĩ rwa Farati ũkinye iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa ithũĩro.
25 No man will be able to stand before you. Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the terror of you upon all the land that you tread on, as he has said to you.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria. O ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩagatũma mwĩtigĩrwo nĩ andũ a bũrũri wothe kũrĩa guothe mũgaathiĩ.
26 Look, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũmũthĩ ndĩramũigĩra kĩrathimo mbere yanyu na ngamũigĩra kĩrumi,
27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God that I command you today,
ndĩramũigĩra kĩrathimo angĩkorwo nĩmũgwathĩkĩra maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ;
28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside from the way that I command you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.
na ngamũigĩra kĩrumi angĩkorwo nĩmũrĩagaga gwathĩkĩra maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu mũgatiga gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ngũmwatha ũmũthĩ, na ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, iria mũtooĩ.
29 It will happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, that you will set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu akaamũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩa mũrathiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre, nĩmũkanĩrĩra ũhoro wa kĩrathimo kĩu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Gerizimu, nakĩo kĩrumi mũheanĩre ũhoro wakĩo kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali.
30 Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the western road, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
O ta ũrĩa mũũĩ, irĩma icio irĩ kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mwena wa ithũĩro wa njĩra kwerekera na kũrĩa riũa rĩthũagĩra, gũkuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya More, kũu bũrũri wa andũ a Kaanani arĩa matũũraga Araba gũkuhĩ na Giligali.
31 For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, and you will possess it and live in it.
Mũrĩ hakuhĩ kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtoonye mũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe. Rĩrĩa mũgaakorwo mũwoete na mũgatũũra kuo-rĩ,
32 You will keep all the statutes and the decrees that I set before you today.
menyagĩrĩrai gwathĩkĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
