< Deuteronomy 16 >

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, for in the month of Aviv Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Menyagĩrĩrai mweri wa Abibu na mũkũngũyagĩre Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩ ũndũ mweri-inĩ wa Abibu nĩguo aamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri kũrĩ ũtukũ.
2 You will sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God with some of the flock and the herd in the place that Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary.
Nĩmũgathĩnjĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwanyu rwa mbũri kana rwa ngʼombe, mũcithĩnjĩre handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake.
3 You will eat no leavened bread with it; seven days will you eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste. Do this all the days of your life so that you may call to mind the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.
Mũtikanamĩrĩĩanĩrie na mĩgate mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, no ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩe mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, arĩ yo mĩgate ya mĩnyamaro, nĩ ũndũ mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri na ihenya, na nĩgeetha matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wanyu mũririkanage mũthenya ũcio mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
4 No yeast must be seen among you within all your borders during seven days; nor must any of the meat that you sacrifice in the evening on the first day remain until the morning.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũtikanakorwo mũrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia bũrũri-inĩ wanyu wothe. Mũtikanareke nyama o ciothe cia iria mũkũruta igongona hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mbere iraare nginya rũciinĩ.
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Mũtikanathĩnjĩre igongona rĩa Bathaka itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe kũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe,
6 Instead, sacrifice at the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary. There you will perform the sacrifice of the Passover in the evening at the going down of the sun, at the time of year that you came out of Egypt.
tiga o harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake. Hau nĩho mũkaarutĩra igongona rĩa Bathaka hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa riũa rĩthũaga, rĩtuĩke rĩa kũririkana ihinda rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
7 You must roast it and eat it at the place that Yahweh your God will choose; in the morning you will turn and go to your tents.
Mũkaarĩhĩhĩria na mũrĩrĩĩre handũ hau Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura. Ningĩ kwarooka gũkĩa mũcooke hema-inĩ cianyu.
8 For six days you will eat unleavened bread; on the seventh day there will be a solemn assembly for Yahweh your God; on that day you must do no work.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũgĩe na kĩũngano kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũtikarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ.
9 You will count seven weeks for yourselves; from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you must start counting seven weeks.
Taragai ciumia mũgwanja kuuma mwambĩrĩria kũgetha ngano ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ngethe.
10 You must keep the Festival of Weeks for Yahweh your God with the contribution of a freewill offering from your hand that you will give, according as Yahweh your God has blessed you.
Mũcooke mũkũngũĩre Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai wanyu, na ũndũ wa kũruta maruta ma kwĩyendera maringaine na irathimo iria Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte nacio.
11 You will rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your city gates, and the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose for his sanctuary.
Na mũkenagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii arĩa marĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.
12 You will call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt; you must observe and do these statutes.
Ririkanai atĩ mwarĩ ngombo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na mũrũmagĩrĩre wega irĩra icio cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
13 You must keep the Festival of Shelters for seven days after you have gathered in the harvest from your threshing floor and from your winepress.
Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ mĩthenya mũgwanja thuutha wa gũcookereria maciaro marĩa moimĩte ihuhĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ngano, na ihihĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ndibei.
14 You will rejoice during your festival—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates.
Kenagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩanyu, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu.
15 For seven days you must observe the festival for Yahweh your God at the place that Yahweh will choose, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your harvest and all the work of your hands, and you must be completely joyful.
Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũrathima magetha-inĩ manyu mothe, na mawĩra-inĩ mothe ma moko manyu, nakĩo gĩkeno kĩanyu nĩgĩkaiganĩra.
16 Three times in a year all your males must appear before Yahweh your God at the place that he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Shelters. No one will appear before Yahweh empty-handed;
Arũme othe anyu no nginya makeyumĩria mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu maita matatũ o mwaka marĩ handũ hau agaathuura: hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩimbie, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ. Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũkoimĩra mbere ya Jehova moko matheri:
17 instead, every man will give as he is able, that you might know the blessing that Yahweh your God has given to you.
O ũmwe wanyu no nginya akarehaga kĩheo kĩringaine na ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte.
18 You must make judges and officers within all your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you; they will be taken from each of your tribes, and they must judge the people with righteous judgment.
Mũgaathuura aciiri, o na anene a o mũhĩrĩga kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe yanyu o itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, nao nĩmagatuagĩra andũ ciira wega.
19 You must not take justice away by force; you must not show partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
Mũtikanahotomie ciira kana mũgĩe na gũthutũkania. Mũtikanamũkĩre ihaki, nĩgũkorwo ihaki nĩrĩtũmaga maitho ma mũndũ mũũgĩ matuĩke matumumu, na rĩkoogomia ciugo cia mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu.
20 You must follow after justice, after justice alone, so that you may live and inherit the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Rũmagĩrĩrai kĩhooto kĩo giiki, nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo na mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe.
21 You must not set up for yourselves an Asherah, any sort of pole, beside the altar of Yahweh your God that you will make for yourself.
Mũtikanahaande gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩrĩa mũgaathondekera Jehova Ngai wanyu,
22 Neither must you set up for yourself any sacred stone pillar, which Yahweh your God hates.
na mũtikanaake ihiga rĩa kũhooyagwo, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire maũndũ macio.
