< Exodus 34 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first tablets. I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets, the tablets that you broke.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Icũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere, na nĩngũciandĩka ciugo iria ciaandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ iria cia mbere, iria woragire.
2 Be ready by morning and come up Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the mountain top.
Wĩhaarĩrie rũciinĩ, ũcooke wambate kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Ũrũgame mbere yakwa hau kĩrĩma igũrũ.
3 No one is to come up with you. Do not let anyone else be seen anywhere on the mountain. No flocks or herds are even to graze in front of the mountain.”
Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkwambatania hamwe nawe kana onekane handũ o hothe kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ; o na gũtikagĩe ndũũru cia mbũri kana cia ngʼombe ingĩrĩithio kũu mbere ya kĩrĩma.”
4 So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and he got up early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had instructed him. Moses carried the tablets of stone in his hand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩicũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere na akĩroka kwambata kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai rũciinĩ tene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; agĩthiĩ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ na moko.
5 Yahweh came down in the cloud and stood with Moses there, and he pronounced the name “Yahweh.”
Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ itu-inĩ, akĩrũgama hau harĩ we, na akĩanĩrĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake, Jehova.
6 Yahweh passed by before him and proclaimed, “Yahweh, Yahweh, God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness,
Agĩkĩhĩtũkĩra mbere ya Musa akĩanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, Jehova, Ngai ũrĩa mũcaayanĩri na mũtugi, ũtahiũhaga kũrakara, ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendani na wĩhokeku,
7 keeping covenant faithfulness for thousands of generations, forgiving iniquities, transgressions, and sins. But he will by no means clear the guilty. He will bring the punishment for the fathers' sin on their children and on their children's children, as far as the third and fourth generations.”
ũtũũragia wendani kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, na akohanagĩra waganu, na ũremi, o na mehia. No rĩrĩ, ndaagaga kũherithia arĩa mehĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana na ciana ciacio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.”
8 Moses quickly bowed his head to the ground and worshiped.
Musa agĩkĩinamĩrĩra thĩ o rĩmwe, akĩhooya.
9 Then he said, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord, please go among us, for this people is stubborn. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.”
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku, ndagũthaitha Mwathani twarana na ithuĩ. O na gũtuĩka aya nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo-rĩ, tuohere waganu witũ o na mehia maitũ, na ũtũme tũtuĩke igai rĩaku.”
10 Yahweh said, “See, I am about to make a covenant. Before all your people, I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation. All the people among you will see my deeds, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you.
Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Nĩndĩrĩĩkaga morirũ matarĩ mekwo rũrĩrĩ-inĩ o na rũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe mbere ya andũ aya aku othe. Andũ arĩa mũtũũranagia nao nĩmakeyonera ũrĩa niĩ, Jehova, ngeeka ũndũ wa kũmakania nĩ ũndũ waku.
11 Obey what I command you today. I am about to drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Athĩkĩra ũrĩa ngũgwatha ũmũthĩ. Nĩngarutũrũra Aamori, na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi mbere yaku makweherere.
12 Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, or they will become a trap among you.
Wĩmenyerere ndũkagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio ũrathiĩ, matigatuĩke mũtego harĩwe.
13 Instead, you must break down their altars, smash their stone pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.
Nĩmũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũthethere mahiga mao maamũre, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera.
14 For you must worship no other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Mũtikanahooe ngai ĩngĩ o na ĩrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Mũigua Ũiru, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru.
15 So be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they prostitute themselves to their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods. Then one of them will invite you and you will eat some of his sacrifice,
“Mwĩmenyererei mũtikagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio; nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa maahũũra ũmaraya na ngai ciao na magacirutĩra iruta, nĩmarĩmwĩtaga, na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩrĩĩaga indo cia magongona macio mao.
16 and then you will even take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods, and they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods.
Na rĩrĩa mũngĩthuura airĩtu amwe ao matuĩke atumia a aanake anyu, nao airĩtu acio mahũũre ũmaraya na ngai ciao, nĩmakonereria ariũ anyu gwĩka ũguo.
17 Do not make for yourselves gods of molten metal.
“Ndũkanathondeke mĩhianano ya gũtwekio.
18 You must keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you must eat bread without yeast for seven days at the fixed time in the month of Aviv, for it was in the month of Aviv you came out from Egypt.
“Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Handũ-inĩ ha mĩthenya mũgwanja, rĩĩagai mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, o ta ũrĩa ndaamwathire. Ĩkagai ũndũ ũyũ ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya mweri-inĩ wa Abibu, nĩgũkorwo nĩguo mweri ũrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
19 All the firstborn are mine, even every male firstborn of your cattle, both of oxen and sheep.
“Irigithathi rĩa nda o yothe nĩ rĩakwa, hamwe na marigithathi mothe ma njamba ma mahiũ manyu, marĩ ma kuuma ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe kana cia mbũri.
20 You must buy back the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you do not buy it back, then you must break its neck. You must buy back all the firstborn of your sons. No one may appear before me empty-handed.
Irigithathi rĩa ndigiri ũrĩrĩkũũraga na gatũrũme, no ũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra, riune ngingo. Nao ariũ aku a marigithathi ũmakũũrage. “Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩũkaga mbere yakwa moko matheri.
21 You may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. Even at plowing time and in harvest, you must rest.
“Rutaga wĩra mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja ũhurũkage; o na hĩndĩ ya icimba na ya magetha no nginya ũhurũke.
22 You must observe the Festival of Weeks with the first yield of the wheat harvest, and you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the year's end.
“Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Ciumia, na maciaro ma mbere ma magetha ma ngano, na Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Gũcookereria irio makũmbĩ-inĩ mũthia-inĩ wa mwaka.
23 Three times a year all your men must appear before Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Arũme anyu othe no nginya mokage mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, maita matatũ o mwaka.
24 For I will drive out nations before you and expand your borders. No one will desire to have your land as their own when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in a year.
Nĩngarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ imweherere, na nĩnganenehia mĩhaka ya bũrũri wanyu na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacumĩkĩra bũrũri wanyu rĩrĩa mũrĩkoragwo mũkĩambata maita matatũ o mwaka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
25 You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with any yeast, nor may any meat from the sacrifice at the Festival of the Passover be left over to the morning.
“Ndũkanandutĩre thakame ya igongona ĩtukanĩte na kĩndũ gĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, na mũtikanareke kĩndũ kĩa igongona rĩa Bathaka kĩraare nginya rũciinĩ.
26 You must bring the best of the firstfruits from your fields to my house. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.”
“Rehagai maciaro ma mbere marĩa mega mũno ma mĩgũnda yanyu, mũmarehage nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu. “Mũtikanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.”
27 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ciugo ici, nĩgũkorwo kũringana na ciugo ici, nĩndagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe o na Isiraeli.”
28 Moses was there with Yahweh for forty days and nights; he did not eat any food nor drink any water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
Musa aikarire na Jehova hau matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, atekũrĩa irio kana akanyua maaĩ. Na agĩkĩandĩka ihengere-inĩ icio ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na nĩcio Maathani marĩa Ikũmi.
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while speaking with God.
Rĩrĩa Musa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai arĩ na ihengere igĩrĩ cia Ũira moko-inĩ make, ndaamenyaga atĩ ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga nĩ ũndũ nĩarĩtie na Jehova.
30 When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him.
Rĩrĩa Harũni na andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire Musa, ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga, nao magĩĩtigĩra kũmũkuhĩrĩria.
31 But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community came up to him. Then Moses spoke with them.
No Musa akĩmeeta; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni na atongoria othe a mũingĩ magĩcooka harĩ we, nake akĩmaarĩria.
32 After this, all the people of Israel came up to Moses, and he told them all the commands that Yahweh had given him on Mount Sinai.
Thuutha ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩmũkuhĩrĩria, nake akĩmahe mawatho mothe marĩa Jehova amũheete kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Rĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũmaarĩria, akĩĩhumbĩra ũthiũ wake na taama wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ.
34 Whenever Moses went before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. When he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he was commanded to say.
No rĩrĩa rĩothe aatoonyaga harĩ Jehova maranĩrie, nĩarutaga taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya oime ho. Na rĩrĩa oka kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli na aameera ũrĩa aathĩtwo,
35 When the Israelites saw Moses' face shining, he would put the veil over his face again until he went back in to speak with Yahweh.
makona ũthiũ wake o ũkengete. Nake Musa agacookia taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ agaathiĩ kwaria na Jehova.
