Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel,
Nake Musa akiumagara agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria andũ othe a Isiraeli na ciugo ici akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
2 and he saith unto them, 'A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan,
“Rĩu ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na ndingĩhota kũmũtongoria rĩngĩ. Jehova nĩanjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.’
3 'Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua — he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken,
Jehova Ngai wanyu we mwene nĩakaringa arĩ mbere yanyu. Nĩakaniina ndũrĩrĩ icio mbere yanyu na inyuĩ nĩmũkegwatĩra bũrũri wacio. Joshua o nake nĩakaringa arĩ mbere yanyu ta ũrĩa Jehova oigire.
4 and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
Nake Jehova nĩakameka o ta ũrĩa eekire Sihoni na Ogu, athamaki a Aamori, arĩa aaniinire hamwe na bũrũri wao.
5 And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
Jehova nĩakamaneana kũrĩ inyuĩ, na inyuĩ no nginya mũkaameeka ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwathĩte.
6 be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.'
Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Mũtigetigĩre kana mũmake nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ egũthiĩ hamwe na inyuĩ; ndakamũtiga kana amũtirike.”
7 And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou — thou dost cause them to inherit it;
Nake Musa agĩĩta Joshua, akĩmwĩra arĩ mbere ya andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Gĩa na hinya, nĩgũkorwo no nginya ũthiĩ na andũ aya bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova eehĩtire kũrĩ maithe mao ma tene atĩ nĩakamahe, nawe no nginya ũkaaũgayania gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, ũtuĩke igai rĩao.
8 and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.'
Jehova mwene nĩegũthiĩ mbere yaku na nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na we; ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaagũtiga kana agũtirike. Ndũkanetigĩre, o na kana ũkue ngoro.”
9 And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩandĩka watho ũcio, agĩcooka akĩũnengera athĩnjĩri-Ngai, ariũ a Lawi, arĩa maakuĩte ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova, o na akĩũnengera athuuri othe a Isiraeli.
10 and Moses commandeth them, saying, 'At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths,
Ningĩ Musa akĩmaatha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O mũthia-inĩ wa mĩaka mũgwanja, mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo wa kũrekanĩra mathiirĩ, hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ-rĩ,
11 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears.
nĩrĩo andũ othe a Isiraeli mariumagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu handũ harĩa we mwene agaathuura, nĩmũrĩmathomagĩra watho ũyũ mũrĩ mbere yao makĩiguaga.
12 'Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law;
Cookanagĩrĩria andũ othe hamwe: arũme, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu, nĩgeetha mathikĩrĩrie na merute gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu, na marũmagĩrĩre ciugo cia watho ũyũ.
13 and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'
Ciana ciao iria itooĩ watho ũyũ, no nginya ciũigue, na ciĩrute gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũthiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre.”
14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth — Joshua also — and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gũkua gwaku ũrĩ hakuhĩ. Ĩta Joshua mũũke nake na mũrũgame Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, nĩho ngũnengerera Joshua wĩra.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Joshua magĩũka makĩrũgama Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
15 and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akiumĩra Hema-inĩ ĩyo arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ gĩa itu, narĩo itu rĩu rĩkĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema.
16 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũkũhurũka hamwe na maithe maku, nao andũ aya ihinda rĩtarĩ kũraihu nĩmekũhũũra ũmaraya na ngai cia kũngĩ cia bũrũri ũrĩa mũratoonya. Nĩmakandirika na mathũkie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaathondekete nao.
17 and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst — these evils have found me?
Mũthenya ũcio nĩngamarakarĩra na ndĩmatirike; nĩngamahitha ũthiũ wakwa, nao nĩmakaniinwo. Nĩmagakorwo nĩ mĩanangĩko mĩingĩ na moritũ maingĩ, nao mũthenya ũcio nĩ makooria atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ mĩanangĩko ĩno ndĩtũkorete nĩ ũndũ Ngai ndakoretwo hamwe na ithuĩ?’
18 and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.
Na hatarĩ nganja nĩngamahitha ũthiũ wakwa mũthenya ũcio, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao wothe wa gũcookerera ngai ingĩ.
19 'And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,
“No rĩrĩ, wĩyandĩkĩre rwĩmbo rũrũ, na ũrũrute andũ a Isiraeli, na ũreke marũine, nĩguo rũtuĩke ũira wakwa wa kũmookĩrĩra.
20 and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers — flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant.
Ndaarĩkia kũmatoonyia bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, bũrũri ũcio nderĩire maithe mao ma tene, na rĩrĩa makaarĩa na mahũũne na matheereme, nĩmakagarũrũkĩra ngai ingĩ macihooe, maamene na mathũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa.
21 'And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.'
Na rĩrĩa mĩanangĩko mĩingĩ na moritũ maingĩ makaamakora, rwĩmbo rũrũ nĩrũgatuĩka ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra, nĩ ũndũ njiaro ciao itikariganĩrwo nĩruo. Nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa maciirĩire gwĩka, o na itarĩ ndĩramatoonyia bũrũri ũrĩa ndaamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa.”
22 And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩandĩka rwĩmbo rũu o mũthenya ũcio, na akĩrũruta andũ a Isiraeli.
23 and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I — I am with thee.'
Jehova nĩaheire Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni rĩathani rĩrĩ: “Gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũgũkinyia andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũrĩa ndamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, na Niĩ mwene nĩngũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe.”
24 And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion,
Thuutha wa Musa kũrĩĩkia kwandĩka ciugo cia watho ũcio ibuku-inĩ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia,
25 that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,
nĩaheire Alawii arĩa maakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova watho ũyũ,
26 'Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness;
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai Ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa Watho mũrĩige mwena-inĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu. Rĩgũtũũra hau rĩrĩ ũira wa kũmũũkagĩrĩra.
27 for I — I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa mũrĩ aremi na mũkoomia ngingo. Angĩkorwo mũkoretwo mũremeire Jehova ndĩ muoyo na ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ-rĩ, mũgaakĩrĩrĩria kũrema atĩa ndakua!
28 'Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,
Cookanĩrĩriai athuuri othe a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, na anene anyu othe mbere yakwa, nĩgeetha njarie ciugo ici makĩĩiguagĩra, na njĩte igũrũ na thĩ irute ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra.
29 for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.'
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua inyuĩ nĩ mũgethũkia biũ, na mũgarũrũke mũtige gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ndĩmwathĩte. Matukũ marĩa magooka mwanangĩko nĩũkamũkora, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũgeeka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, mũtũme arakario nĩ kĩrĩa mũthondekete na moko manyu.”
30 And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: —
Nake Musa agĩcookera ciugo ici cia rwĩmbo rũrũ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, akĩiguagwo nĩ kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli:
