Deuteronomy 12
1 'These [are] the statutes and the judgments which ye observe to do in the land which Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath given to thee to possess it, all the days that ye are living on the ground:
Ici nĩcio irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmenyerera mũmarũmagĩrĩre mũrĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu amũheete mũwĩgwatĩre, rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
2 ye do utterly destroy all the places where the nations which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree;
Mũkaananga biũ kũndũ guothe kũu igũrũ wa irĩma iria ndaaya na tũrĩma na rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe mũruru kũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio mũkegwatĩra bũrũri wacio ihooyagĩra ngai ciacio.
3 and ye have broken down their altars, and shivered their standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed their name out of that place.
Mũkoinanga igongona ciacio, na mũharaganie mahiga mao marĩa maamũre, na mũcine itugĩ cia Ashera ciacio; mũtemange mĩhianano ya ngai ciao, na mũtharie marĩĩtwa ma cio mehere kũndũ kũu.
4 'Ye do not do so to Jehovah your God;
Mũtikanahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa ndũrĩrĩ icio ihooyaga ngai ciacio.
5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God doth choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, to His tabernacle ye seek, and thou hast entered thither,
No rĩrĩ, no nginya mũgaacaria handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura thĩinĩ wa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe, nĩguo haamũrĩrwo rĩĩtwa rĩake, harĩ gĩikaro gĩake. Hau nĩho mũrĩthiiaga;
6 and hast brought in thither your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;
na nĩho mũrĩtwaraga maruta manyu ma njino na magongona manyu, na icunjĩ cianyu cia ikũmi na maruta ma mwanya, na kĩrĩa gĩothe mũrĩrutaga kĩa mĩĩhĩtwa yanyu, o na maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, na marigithathi ma ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu.
7 and ye have eaten there before Jehovah your God, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, ye and your households, with which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.
Mũrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, inyuĩ na andũ a nyũmba cianyu nĩmũkarĩĩaga na mũgakenera maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga na moko manyu, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũrathimĩte.
8 'Ye do not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, each anything that is right in his own eyes,
Mũtikaneke ta ũrĩa tũreka tũrĩ gũkũ ũmũthĩ, o ũrĩa mũndũ aroona kwagĩrĩire,
9 for ye have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;
tondũ mũtirĩ mũraakinya ũhurũko-inĩ kana igai-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe.
10 and ye have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit, and He hath given rest to you from all your enemies round about, and ye have dwelt confidently:
No nĩmũkaringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũtũũre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na nĩakamũhurũkia harĩ thũ cianyu ciothe iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie, nĩgeetha mũtũũre mũtarĩ na ũgwati.
11 'And it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye bring in all that which I am commanding you, your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which ye vow to Jehovah;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura haamũrwo ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩho mũgaatwaraga indo ciothe iria ngũmwatha mũtwarage: nacio nĩ maruta manyu ma njino, na magongona manyu, na icunjĩ cianyu cia ikũmi na maruta manyu ma mwanya, na indo ciothe njega iria mwĩrĩire Jehova na mwĩhĩtwa.
12 and ye have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he hath no part and inheritance with you.
Na mũrĩ hau, mũkenage mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu, inyuĩ ene, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii a kuuma matũũra-inĩ manyu arĩa matarĩ na mĩgũnda kana igai rĩao ene.
13 'Take heed to thee, lest thou cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which thou seest,
Mwĩmenyererei mũtikanarutĩre magongona manyu ma njino handũ harĩa hothe mũngĩenda.
14 except in the place which Jehovah doth choose in one of thy tribes, there thou dost cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend, and there thou dost do all that which I am commanding thee.
Marutagĩrei o handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura mũhĩrĩga-inĩ ũmwe wa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, nĩho mũgeekagĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte.
15 'Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates; the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, and as of the hart.
No rĩrĩ, no mũthĩnjĩre nyamũ cianyu itũũra-inĩ rĩanyu o rĩothe na mũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa mũngĩenda, o taarĩ nyama cia thwariga kana cia thiiya, mũrĩe kũringana na kĩrathimo kĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amũheete. Andũ othe, arĩa marĩ na thaahu o na arĩa matarĩ, no marĩe nyama icio.
16 'Only, the blood ye do not eat — on the earth thou dost pour it as water;
No mũtikanarĩe thakame; mĩitagei thĩ o taarĩ maaĩ.
17 thou art not able to eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, and of thy new wine, and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, and any of thy vows which thou vowest, and thy free-will offerings, and heave-offering of thy hand;
Mũtikanarĩĩre matũũra-inĩ manyu gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ngano yanyu, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta, kana marigithathi ma ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe mwĩhĩtĩte kũrutaga, kana maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, o na kana maruta ma mwanya.
18 but before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth fix on, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God in every putting forth of thy hand;
Handũ ha gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, mũrĩrĩĩagĩra indo icio mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura, inyuĩ ene, na ariũ anyu na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii a kuuma matũũra-inĩ manyu, na nĩmũrĩkenagĩra maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga na moko manyu mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
19 take heed to thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy days on thy ground.
Menyererai mũtikanarekererie Alawii hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio wanyu.
20 'When Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh — for thy soul desireth to eat flesh — of all the desire of thy soul thou dost eat flesh.
Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaakwaramĩria bũrũri waku o ta ũrĩa aakwĩrĩire, nawe wende kũrĩa nyama na uuge atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwenda nyama,” hĩndĩ ĩyo no ũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa ũngĩenda.
21 'When the place is far from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, then thou hast sacrificed of thy herd and of thy flock which Jehovah hath given to thee, as I have commanded thee, and hast eaten within thy gates, of all the desire of thy soul;
Kũngĩkorwo handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai waku athuurĩte haamũrĩrwo Rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ hakũraihĩrĩirie-rĩ, no ũthĩnje nyamũ kuuma ndũũru-inĩ ciaku cia ngʼombe na cia ngʼondu iria Jehova akũheete, ta ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũrĩ o kũu matũũra-inĩ maku, no ũrĩe nyama nyingĩ o ũrĩa ũngĩenda.
22 only, as the roe and the hart is eaten, so dost thou eat it; the unclean and the clean doth alike eat it.
Rĩa nyama icio o ta ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa nyama cia thwariga kana cia thiiya. Andũ arĩa marĩ na thaahu na arĩa matarĩ no marĩe nyama icio.
23 'Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;
No ũmenyerere ndũkanarĩe thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo, ndũkanarĩanĩrie muoyo ũcio na nyama.
24 thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it as water;
Ndũkanarĩe thakame; mĩite thĩ o ta maaĩ.
25 thou dost not eat it, in order that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou dost that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah.
Ndũkanamĩrĩe, nĩguo maũndũ maku magĩrĩre, o na ma ciana ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku, tondũ ũrĩkoragwo ũgĩĩka maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
26 'Only, thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou dost take up, and hast gone in unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,
No rĩrĩ, nĩũkoya indo ciaku iria nyamũre na kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe wĩhĩtĩte atĩ nĩũkaruta, ũthiĩ handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura.
27 and thou hast made thy burnt-offerings — the flesh and the blood — on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh thou dost eat.
Rutĩra magongona maku ma njino, ma nyama na ma thakame kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova Ngai waku. Thakame ĩyo ya magongona macio maku no nginya ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩa Jehova Ngai waku, no nyama no ũcirĩe.
28 Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee — to the age, when thou dost that which [is] good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
Menyerera wathĩkĩre mawatho maya mothe ndĩragwatha, nĩgeetha maũndũ maku na ma ciana ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku maagagĩrĩre hĩndĩ ciothe, tondũ ũrĩkoragwo ũgĩĩka wega na ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai waku.
29 'When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations — whither thou art going in to possess them — from thy presence, and thou hast possessed them, and hast dwelt in their land —
Jehova Ngai waku nĩakeheria mbere yaku ndũrĩrĩ iria ũkiriĩ kũhithũkĩra ũcitunye bũrũri. No rĩrĩa ũgaacingata na ũtũũre bũrũri wacio,
30 take heed to thee, lest thou be snared after them, after their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, and I do so — even I?
na ciarĩkia kũniinwo ciehere mbere yaku, wĩmenyerere ndũkanategwo na ũndũ wa gũtuĩria ũhoro wa ngai ciacio ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ndũrĩrĩ ici itungatagĩra ngai ciacio atĩa? Tũgwĩka o ta ũrĩa ciĩkaga.”
31 'Thou dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn with fire to their gods.
Ndũkanahooe Jehova Ngai waku na njĩra icio ciacio, nĩ ũndũ ikĩhooya ngai icio ciacio, nĩciĩkaga maũndũ mothe marĩa marĩ magigi marĩa Jehova athũire. O na nĩicinaga ariũ ao na airĩtu ao na mwaki marĩ magongona ma ngai ciacio.
32 The whole thing which I am commanding you — it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it.
Tigĩrĩra atĩ nĩ weka maũndũ mothe marĩa ngwathĩte; ndũkanongerere ũndũ kana ũrutarute.
