Gũcookerithia 13

1 Mũnabii kana mũroti wa irooto angĩkeyumĩria thĩinĩ wanyu, nake amwĩre ũhoro wa kĩama kana wa ũrirũ,

If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 naguo ũhoro ũcio aarĩtie wa kĩama kana wa ũrirũ wĩkĩke-rĩ, acooke oige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrũmĩrĩrei ngai ingĩ (ngai iria mũtooĩ) mũreke tũcihooe,”

And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

3 mũtikanathikĩrĩrie ndeto cia mũnabii ũcio, kana cia mũroti ũcio wa irooto; Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩkũmũgeria aramũgeria amenye kana nĩmũmwendete na ngoro cianyu ciothe na mĩoyo yanyu yothe.

Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

4 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe mũrĩrũmagĩrĩra, na nĩwe mũrĩĩtigagĩra. Menyagĩrĩrai maathani make na mũmathĩkagĩre; mũtungatagĩrei na mwĩgwatanagie nake.

But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.

5 Mũnabii ũcio kana mũroti ũcio no nginya ooragwo, tondũ nĩahunjĩtie ũhoro wa kũremera Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, akĩmũkũũra kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo; nĩageretie kũmũgarũra mwehere njĩra ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamwathire mũrũmagĩrĩre. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

6 Mũrũ wa nyũkwa ũrĩa mũciaranĩirwo, kana mũrũguo kana mwarĩguo, kana mũtumia waku ũrĩa wendete, kana mũrataguo ũrĩa mumĩranĩtie ngoro nake angĩkũheenereria, akwĩre atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ tũkahooe ngai ingĩ” (ngai iria wee kana maithe manyu matooĩ,

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;

7 ngai cia andũ arĩa mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie, marĩ gũkuhĩ, kana marĩ kũraya, kuuma mwena ũmwe wa bũrũri nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ),

Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;

8 ndũkanetĩkĩre ũhoro ũcio wake, kana ũmũthikĩrĩrie. Ndũkanamũiguĩre tha. Ndũkanamũtige arĩ muoyo kana ũmũhithĩrĩre.

Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

9 No nginya ũkaamũũraga. Guoko gwaku nĩkuo gũgaakorwo kũrĩ kwa mbere ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wa kũmũũraga, gũcooke kũrũmĩrĩrwo nĩ moko ma andũ arĩa angĩ othe.

But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

10 Mũhũũrei na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue, nĩ ũndũ nĩageretie kũmũgarũra amũrute njĩra-inĩ ya Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.

Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio nao nĩmagetigĩra, na gũtirĩ mũndũ gatagatĩ kanyu ũgeeka ũndũ mũũru ta ũcio rĩngĩ.

And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

12 Mũngĩkaigua ũhoro ũkĩheanwo ũkoniĩ itũũra rĩmwe rĩa marĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũtũũre kuo-rĩ,

And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

13 atĩ andũ aaganu nĩmeyumĩrĩtie thĩinĩ wanyu na makahĩtithia andũ a itũũra rĩao njĩra, makameera atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi tũkahooe ngai ingĩ” (ngai iria inyuĩ mũtooĩ),

That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;

14 hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya mũkoorĩrĩria ũhoro ũcio, na mũũthuthuurie na mũũtuĩrie wega biũ. Mũngĩona nĩguo kũrĩ na kũmenyeke wega atĩ ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ magigi ũguo nĩwĩkĩkĩte thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ,

Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

15 no nginya mũkooraga andũ arĩa othe matũũraga itũũra rĩu na rũhiũ rwa njora. Itũũra rĩu nĩmũkarĩniina biũ, mũniine andũ a rĩo o na mahiũ makuo.

Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it.

16 Mũgaacookanĩrĩria indo ciothe iria ndahe cia itũũra rĩu handũ hamwe o kũu gatagatĩ ga kĩhaaro gĩa itũũra, mũcine itũũra rĩu biũ hamwe na indo ciarĩo cia gũtahwo, ituĩke igongona rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu. Rĩgaatũũra rĩrĩ rĩanange nginya tene, na rĩtigaakwo rĩngĩ.

And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

17 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa indo icio ituĩrĩirwo kũniinwo gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ moko-inĩ manyu, nĩgeetha Jehova atige gũcinwo nĩ marakara make mahiũ; nake acooke amũiguĩre tha, na amwĩke maũndũ ma ũtugi, na atũme mũingĩhe, o ta ũrĩa erĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa,

Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:

18 nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu na kũmenyerera maathani make mothe marĩa ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ, na gwĩka maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make.

So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
