< Deuteronomy 6 >

1 Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;
Na rĩrĩ, maya nĩmo maathani, na watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aanjathire ndĩmũrute nĩgeetha mũmamenyagĩrĩre mũrĩ bũrũri ũcio mũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũthiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu.
2 so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.
Nĩgeetha inyuĩ na ciana cianyu, na ciana ciao iria igooka thuutha mwĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra muoyo, na ũndũ wa kũmenyerera watho wake wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na maathani marĩa mothe ngũmũhe, na nĩguo mũtũũre mũkenete matukũ maingĩ.
3 Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.
Atĩrĩrĩ wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria na ũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkaga nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, na ningĩ nĩgeetha mũingĩhe mũno mũrĩ bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrĩire.
4 Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria: Jehova Ngai witũ, we wiki nowe Jehova.
5 You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na hinya waku wothe.
6 The words that I am commanding you today will be in your heart;
Maathani maya ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ ũreke matũũre ngoro-inĩ yaku.
7 and you will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
Ũmarutage ciana ciaku na kĩyo. Aragia ũhoro wamo rĩrĩa ũikarĩte gwaku mũciĩ na rĩrĩa ũgũthiĩ na njĩra, o na rĩrĩa ũkomete na rĩrĩa wokĩra.
8 You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.
Mohagĩrĩre guoko-inĩ gwaku marĩ imenyithia, na ũmohagĩrĩre ũthiũ-inĩ waku.
9 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Maandĩke hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba ciaku, o na ũmaandĩke ihingo-inĩ ciaku.
10 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaagũkinyia bũrũri ũcio erĩire maithe maku na mwĩhĩtwa: akĩĩrĩra Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, atĩ nĩagakũhe bũrũri ũrĩ na matũũra manene, mega, ũtaakĩte wee mwene,
11 and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—
na akũhe nyũmba ciyũrĩte indo njega cia mĩthemba yothe, no tiwe mwene ũciyũrĩtie kuo, na ithima ũteenjete wee mwene, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa ũtaahandĩte wee mwene; hĩndĩ ĩyo warĩa na wahũũna,
12 then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
ũkaamenyerera ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, agĩkũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
13 You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.
Wĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai waku, ũmũtungatĩre o we wiki, na rĩrĩa ũkwĩhĩta ũgwetage rĩĩtwa rĩake.
14 You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you—
Ndũkanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, ngai cia andũ arĩa makũrigiicĩirie;
15 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.
nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, na marakara make nĩmagagũũkĩrĩra magũcine, na makũniine biũ ũthire bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
16 You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.
Mũtikanagerie Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa mwekire kũu Masa.
17 You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that he has commanded you.
Mũtikanaage kũmenyerera maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, na irĩkanĩro, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, marĩa akũheete ũrũmagĩrĩre.
18 You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,
Ĩkaga maũndũ marĩa moonagwo nĩ Jehova magĩrĩire na mega, nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, nĩguo ũthiĩ ũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa Ngai eerĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa,
19 to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.
atĩ nĩakaingata thũ cianyu ciothe ciehere mbere yaku, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'
Matukũ-inĩ ma thuutha, rĩrĩa mũrũguo agaakũũria atĩrĩ, “Gĩtũmi kĩa irĩkanĩro icio, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai aamwathĩte mũrũmagĩrĩre, nĩ kĩĩ?”
21 then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
Ũkaamũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ithuĩ twarĩ ngombo cia Firaũni kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no Jehova agĩtũruta bũrũri ũcio wa Misiri na ũndũ wa guoko gwake kwa hinya.
22 and he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Nĩtweyoneire na maitho maitũ Jehova akĩringa ciama na agĩĩka maũndũ ma kũgegania, maũndũ manene mũno na ma kũmakania, akĩmeeka kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, o na kũrĩ Firaũni na andũ a nyũmba yake yothe.
23 and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.
No nĩatũrutire kuuma kũu nĩgeetha atũrehe gũkũ nĩguo atũhe bũrũri ũyũ eerĩire maithe maitũ ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
24 Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.
Nake Jehova agĩtwatha twathĩkagĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na twĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩgeetha tũgaacagĩre hĩndĩ ciothe, na tũtũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
25 If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
Na ithuĩ tũngĩmenyerera gwathĩkĩra watho ũyũ wothe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte-rĩ, ũcio nĩ ũgaatuĩka ũthingu witũ.”
