< Deuteronomy 27 >

1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
Musa na athuuri a Isiraeli nĩ maathire andũ, makĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Rũmiai maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
Mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtoonye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe-rĩ, mũkaahaanda mahiga manene na mũmathinge na rĩũmba.
3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou hast passed over, that thou mayest enter in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
Mũkaandĩka igũrũ rĩamo ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ mwarĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ mũtoonye bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrĩire.
4 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over Jordan, [that] ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
Na mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mũkaahaanda mahiga macio kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali, ta ũrĩa ndĩramwatha ũmũthĩ, na mũmathinge na rĩũmba.
5 And there shalt thou build an altar to the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.
Ningĩ mũgaakĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu kĩgongona, kĩgongona kĩa mahiga. Mũtikanahũthĩre kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩa kĩgera mahiga-inĩ macio.
6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer on it burnt-offerings to the LORD thy God.
Mũgaakĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu kĩgongona na mahiga moimĩte mũgũnda, na mũrutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu maruta ma njino igũrũ wakĩo.
7 And thou shalt offer peace-offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
Mũkarutĩra indo cia magongona ma ũiguano o hau, mũcirĩe mũgĩkenagĩra o hau mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law, very plainly.
Na nĩmũkandĩka ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ mahiga-inĩ macio mũkaahaanda na ndemwa ikuoneka wega.”
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed and hearken, O Israel, this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.
Nake Musa na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, makĩĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Ta kirai, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na mũthikĩrĩrie! Rĩu nĩmũtuĩkĩte andũ a Jehova Ngai wanyu.
10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day.
Athĩkĩrai Jehova Ngai wanyu na mũrũmĩrĩre maathani make na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.”
11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, Musa agĩatha andũ acio, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye have come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
Mwarĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mĩhĩrĩga ĩno nĩĩkarũgama kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩa Gerizimu ĩrathime andũ: Nĩ mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni, na wa Lawi, na wa Juda, na wa Isakaru, na wa Jusufu na wa Benjamini.
13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Nayo mĩhĩrĩga ĩno nĩĩkarũgama kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩa Ebali yanĩrĩre irumi: Nĩ mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na wa Gadi, na wa Asheri, na wa Zebuluni, na wa Dani na wa Nafitali.
14 And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
Nao Alawii nĩmakoiga ciugo na mũgambo mũnene, meere andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ:
