Leviticus 26
1 “You must make no idols, and you must not lift up a carved figure or a sacred stone pillar, and you must not place any carved stone image in your land to which you bow down, for I am Yahweh your God.
“‘Mũtikanethondekere mĩhianano kana mwĩrũgamirie mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ kana ihiga rĩamũre rĩa kũhooywo, mũtikaige ihiga rĩacũhie bũrũri-inĩ wanyu atĩ nĩguo mũrĩinamagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
2 You must keep my Sabbaths and honor my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.
“‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ ciakwa na mũtĩĩage handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
3 If you walk in my laws and keep my commandments and obey them,
“‘Mũngĩrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa na mũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkagĩra maathani makwa,
4 then I will give you rain in its season; the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.
nĩngamuuragĩria mbura imera ciayo ciakinya, na mĩgũnda yanyu nĩrĩciaraga irio, nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩgũnda yanyu ĩciarage maciaro mayo.
5 Your threshing will continue to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will extend to the planting season. You will eat your bread to the full and live safely where you make your home in the land.
Mũrĩhũũraga ngano yanyu mũgakinyĩria magetha ma thabibũ, namo magetha ma thabibũ magakinyĩria hĩndĩ ya mahaanda, na mũrĩrĩĩaga irio mũkahũũna, na mũtũũre bũrũri wanyu mũrĩ na thayũ.
6 I will give peace in the land; you will lie down with nothing to make you afraid. I will take the dangerous animals away from the land, and the sword will not pass through your land.
“‘Nĩngatũma bũrũri wanyu ũgĩe na thayũ, na mũrĩkomaga gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũma mwĩtigĩre. Nĩnganiina nyamũ njũru ciehere bũrũri-inĩ wanyu. Nacio itigacooka kuoneka bũrũri-inĩ wanyu.
7 You will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.
Nĩmũkaingatithia thũ cianyu, na mũcihoote mbaara-inĩ.
8 Five of you will chase away a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; your enemies will fall before you by the sword.
Andũ atano anyu makaahũũra andũ igana, nao andũ anyu igana makaahũũra andũ ngiri ikũmi, nacio thũ nĩ mũgaacihoota mũciũrage na rũhiũ rwa njora.
9 I will look at you with favor and make you fruitful and multiply you; I will establish my covenant with you.
“‘Nĩngamuonia ũtugi wakwa, na ndũme mũciarane na mũingĩhe, na nĩngatũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ.
10 You will eat food stored a long time. You will have to bring out the stored food because you will need the room for the new harvest.
Mũgaakoragwo o mũkĩrĩa magetha ma mwaka mũthiru nginya rĩrĩa mũkaamaruta nja nĩguo mũgĩe na handũ ha kũiga magetha marĩa maragethwo.
11 I will place my tabernacle among you, and I will not detest you.
Ngaiga gĩikaro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu, na ndikamũthũũra.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
Ngaathiiaga ndĩ gatagatĩ kanyu, nduĩke Ngai wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke andũ akwa.
13 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you to walk standing up straight.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩguo mũtige gũtuĩka ngombo cia andũ a Misiri; ndoinangire macooki ma ngingo cianyu ngĩtũma mũhotage gũthiĩ mwĩhaandĩte wega.
14 But if you will not listen to me, and will not obey all these commandments,
“‘No mũngĩkaaga kũnjigua, mwage kũhingia maathani macio mothe,
15 and if you reject my decrees and detest my laws, so that you will not obey all my commandments, but break my covenant—
na mũngĩrega kĩrĩra gĩakwa kĩa watho na mũthũũre mawatho makwa, na mwage kũhingia maathani makwa, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
16 —if you do these things, then I will do this to you: I will inflict terror on you, diseases and fever that will destroy the eyes and will drain away your life. You will plant your seeds for nothing, because your enemies will eat their produce.
Niĩ na niĩ nĩngamwĩka maũndũ maya: Nĩngamũrehere kĩmako, na ndĩmũrehere ndwari cia kũmũniina na ũndũ wa kũhiũha kwa mĩĩrĩ kũrĩa gũkaamũte maitho, na gũtũme mũũrwo nĩ hinya. Mũkaahaanda mbeũ tũhũ, nĩ ũndũ ikaarĩagwo nĩ thũ cianyu.
17 I will set my face against you, and you will be overpowered by your enemies. Men who hate you will rule over you, and you will run away, even when no one is chasing you.
Nĩngamũrũithia ndĩmũũkĩrĩre nĩguo mũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu; arĩa mamũthũire nĩo makaamwathaga, na mũkooraga hatarĩ mũndũ ũmũingatithĩtie.
18 If after all this you do not listen to me, then I will punish you seven times as severely for your sins.
“‘Angĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, ngaakĩrĩrĩria kũmũherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu maita mũgwanja.
19 I will break your pride in your power. I will make the sky over you like iron and your land like bronze.
Nĩnganiina rũngʼathio rwa mwĩtĩĩo wanyu, na ndũme matu matuĩke ta cuuma, nayo thĩ yũme ĩtuĩke ta gĩcango.
20 Your strength will be used up for nothing, because your land will not produce its harvest, and your trees in the land will not produce their fruit.
Mũkaahũthĩra hinya wanyu o tũhũ, tondũ tĩĩri wanyu ndũkagethwo kĩndũ, kana mĩtĩ ya bũrũri wanyu ĩciare maciaro mayo.
21 If you walk against me and will not listen to me, I will bring seven times more blows on you, in proportion to your sins.
“‘Ningĩ mũngĩthiĩ na mbere na mĩthiĩre ya kũnemera, na mwage kũnjigua, nĩngakĩrĩrĩria kũmũingĩhĩria mahũũra mangĩ maita mũgwanja o ũrĩa mehia manyu magĩrĩirwo nĩ kũherithio.
22 I will send dangerous animals against you, which will steal your children, destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. So your roads will become deserted.
Nĩngamũrehere nyamũ cia gĩthaka imũũkĩrĩre, nacio imũtunye ciana cianyu, na iniine ngʼombe cianyu, o na itũme mũigana wanyu ũnyiihe ũũ atĩ barabara cianyu ciage andũ.
23 If in spite of these things you still do not accept my correction and you continue to walk in opposition to me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio no mũkaarega kũnjookerera na mũgĩthiĩ na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra-rĩ,
24 then I will also walk in opposition to you, and I myself will punish you seven times because of your sins.
niĩ na niĩ nĩngamũũkĩrĩra, na nĩngakĩrĩrĩria kũmũhũũra nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu maita mangĩ mũgwanja.
25 I will bring a sword on you that will execute vengeance for breaking the covenant. You will be gathered together inside your cities, and I will send a disease among you there, and then you will be delivered into the hand of your enemy.
Nĩngamũrehithĩria rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩhĩrie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa mũthũkĩtie. Muorĩra matũũra-inĩ marĩa manene manyu, nĩngamũrehithĩria mũthiro thĩinĩ wanyu, na ndĩmũrekererie moko-inĩ ma thũ cianyu.
26 When I cut off your food supply, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will distribute your bread by weight. You will eat but not be satisfied.
Rĩrĩa ngaamwehereria makũmbĩ manyu ma irio, andũ-a-nja ikũmi makaarugagĩra mĩgate yanyu riiko rĩmwe, nao macooke kũmũrehera mĩgate ĩyo ĩthimĩtwo na ratiri. Mũkaamĩrĩĩaga na mũtihũũne.
27 If you do not listen to me despite these things, but continue to walk against me,
“‘Ningĩ kũngĩkorwo o na mwekwo maũndũ macio mũtikanjigua-rĩ, no mũthiĩ o na mbere kũnjũkĩrĩra,
28 then I will walk against you in anger, and I will punish you even seven more times as much for your sins.
niĩ na niĩ nĩngamũũkĩrĩra na marakara na niĩ mwene ngĩrĩrĩrie kũmũherithia maita mangĩ mũgwanja nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu.
29 You will eat the flesh of your sons; you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
Mũkaarĩĩaga nyama cia ariũ na aarĩ anyu.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and throw your corpses on the corpses of your idols, and I myself will abhor you.
Ningĩ nĩngananga kũndũ kwanyu kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na ndemange magongona manyu ma ũbani na njooke njigĩrĩre ciimba cianyu igũrũ rĩa mĩhianano ĩyo yanyu ĩtarĩ muoyo, na ndĩmũthũũre.
31 I will turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sanctuaries. I will not be pleased with the aroma of your offerings.
Matũũra manyu marĩa manene nĩngamananga na handũ hanyu harĩa haamũre ndĩhoonũhe, o na ndigakenio nĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa maruta manyu.
32 I will devastate the land. Your enemies who will live there will be shocked at the devastation.
Nĩngonũha bũrũri ũcio, nginya thũ cianyu iria itũũraga kuo igege.
33 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out my sword and follow you. Your land will be abandoned, and your cities will be ruined.
Nĩngamũharagania ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na njomore rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora ndĩmũingatithie. Naguo bũrũri wanyu ndĩũnũhe, namo matũũra manyu marĩa manene ndĩmanange.
34 Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths for as long as it lies abandoned and you are in your enemies' lands. During that time, the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Thuutha ũcio, bũrũri ũcio nĩũgakenera mĩaka ya Thabatũ hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe ũgaakorwo ũkirĩte ihooru, na inyuĩ mũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa thũ cianyu; naguo bũrũri nĩũkahurũka, na ũkenere thabatũ ciaguo.
35 As long as it lies abandoned, it will have rest, which will be the rest that it did not have with your Sabbaths, when you lived in it.
Ihinda rĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũkirĩte ihooru, nĩũkahurũka kũrĩa wagĩte kũhurũka hĩndĩ ya Thabatũ iria mwatũũrĩte kuo.
36 As for those of you who are left in your enemies' lands, I will send fear into your hearts so that even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will startle you, and you will flee as though you were fleeing from the sword. You will fall, even when no one is chasing you.
“‘Nao arĩa anyu magaatigara, nĩngatũma ngoro ciao inyiitwo nĩ guoya marĩ mabũrũri-inĩ macio ma thũ ciao, o nginya ithangũ rĩabarabario nĩ rũhuho rĩgatũma moore. Nao makooraga o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ooragĩra rũhiũ rwa njora, na nĩmakagũũaga o na gũtarĩ mũndũ ũmaingatithĩtie.
37 You will stumble over each other as though you were running from the sword, even though no one is chasing you. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.
Makaahĩnganaga makĩũra o ta andũ maroorĩra rũhiũ rwa njora o na gũtarĩ mũndũ ũmaingatithĩtie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtikahota gwĩtiiria thũ cianyu.
38 You will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will itself devour you.
Mũgaathirĩra kũu ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ; bũrũri wa thũ cianyu ũkaamũrĩa ũmũniine.
39 Those who are left among you will waste away in their sins, there in your enemies' lands, and because of their fathers' sins they will waste away as well.
Nao andũ anyu arĩa magaatigara nĩmakoorwo nĩ hinya marĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa thũ ciao nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao; o na ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nĩ makoorwo nĩ hinya.
40 Yet if they confess their sins and their fathers' sin, and their treason by which they were unfaithful to me, and also their walking against me—
“‘No mangĩkoimbũra mehia mao na mehia ma maithe mao, o na mehia ma kũnemera na ma kũnjũkĩrĩra,
41 which caused me to turn against them and I brought them into the land of their enemies—if their uncircumcised hearts become humbled, and if they accept the punishment for their sins,
kũrĩa gwatũmire ndĩmookĩrĩre nginya ngĩmatwarithia bũrũri wa thũ ciao, thuutha ũcio rĩrĩa ngoro icio ciao nyũmũ ikenyiihia na ciĩtĩkĩre ihũũra rĩa mehia mao-rĩ,
42 then will I call to mind my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham; also, I will call the land to mind.
nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Jakubu, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Isaaka, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na Iburahĩmu, na ndirikane bũrũri ũcio.
43 The land will be abandoned by them, so it will be pleased with its Sabbaths while it lies abandoned without them. They will have to pay the penalty for their sins because they themselves rejected my decrees and detested my laws.
Nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũcio nĩũgatiganĩrio nĩo, naguo nĩũgakenera Thabatũ ciaguo rĩrĩa ũgaakira ihooru ũtarĩ nao. Nĩmakarĩhio mehia mao nĩ ũndũ nĩmaregire mawatho makwa na magĩthũũra kĩrĩra gĩakwa kĩa watho.
44 Yet despite all this, when they are in their enemies' land, I will not reject them, neither will I detest them so as to completely destroy them and do away with my covenant with them, for I am Yahweh their God.
No rĩrĩ, o na gũtariĩ ũguo, hĩndĩ ĩyo marĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa thũ ciao, ndikamarega kana ndĩmathũũre biũ ũndũ ũngĩtũma ndĩmaniine biũ, thũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nao. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wao.
45 But for their sakes I will call to mind the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.”
No nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na maithe mao, arĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri mbere ya ndũrĩrĩ nĩgeetha nduĩke Ngai wao. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
46 These are the commandments, decrees, and laws that Yahweh made between himself and the people of Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses.
Icio nĩcio irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na matuĩro ma ciira na mawatho marĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na andũ a Isiraeli Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai, akĩĩra Musa amamenyithanie kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
