Gũcookerithia 13
1 Mũnabii kana mũroti wa irooto angĩkeyumĩria thĩinĩ wanyu, nake amwĩre ũhoro wa kĩama kana wa ũrirũ,
“Possibly there will be people among you who [say that they] are prophets. They may say that they are able to interpret the meaning of dreams or perform various kinds of miracles [DOU].
2 naguo ũhoro ũcio aarĩtie wa kĩama kana wa ũrirũ wĩkĩke-rĩ, acooke oige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrũmĩrĩrei ngai ingĩ (ngai iria mũtooĩ) mũreke tũcihooe,”
They will say those things in order to induce/persuade you to worship gods that you have never known about before. But even if what they predict happens,
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.
do not pay attention to what they say. Yahweh our God will be testing you to find out if you love him with all your inner being.
4 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe mũrĩrũmagĩrĩra, na nĩwe mũrĩĩtigagĩra. Menyagĩrĩrai maathani make na mũmathĩkagĩre; mũtungatagĩrei na mwĩgwatanagie nake.
You must conduct your lives as Yahweh our God wants you to, and you must revere him, and do what he tells you to do [MTY], and worship only him, and (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) 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.
“But you must execute anyone who [falsely says that he] is a prophet, or someone who [falsely] says that he can interpret dreams, or who tells you to rebel against Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. People like that are only wanting to cause you to stop conducting your lives as Yahweh has commanded you to do. Execute them, to get rid of this evil 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,
It does not matter if even your brother or your daughter or your wife or some close/dear friend secretly urges you, saying ‘Let’s worship other gods. They are gods which you or your ancestors have never known about.
7 ngai cia andũ arĩa mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie, marĩ gũkuhĩ, kana marĩ kũraya, kuuma mwena ũmwe wa bũrũri nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ),
Some of them may encourage you to worship gods that people-groups that live near you worship, or gods that groups who live far away worship.
8 ndũkanetĩkĩre ũhoro ũcio wake, kana ũmũthikĩrĩrie. Ndũkanamũiguĩre tha. Ndũkanamũtige arĩ muoyo kana ũmũhithĩrĩre.
Do not [SYN] do what they suggest. Do not even listen to them. Do not even be merciful to them, and do not keep secret what they have done.
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.
Execute them! You [who are their relative] must be the first one to [throw stones at them to] kill them, and then let everyone else [MTY] throw stones at them, too.
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.
Kill such people by throwing stones at them, because they are trying to cause you to stop worshiping Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio nao nĩmagetigĩra, na gũtirĩ mũndũ gatagatĩ kanyu ũgeeka ũndũ mũũru ta ũcio rĩngĩ.
When they are executed, all the Israeli people will hear [what happened], and they will become afraid, and none of them will do such an evil thing again.
12 Mũngĩkaigua ũhoro ũkĩheanwo ũkoniĩ itũũra rĩmwe rĩa marĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũtũũre kuo-rĩ,
“When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear
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 some worthless people there among you [IDM] are deceiving the people of their town, saying, ‘Let’s go and worship other gods,’ but they are gods that you have never heard about before.
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,
Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,
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.
kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.
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.
Gather all the possessions that belonged to the people who lived there and pile them up in the city plaza. Then burn the town and everything in it, as though it were an offering to Yahweh that would be completely burned [on the altar]. The ruins/ashes must stay there forever; the town must never be rebuilt.
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,
None of you Israelis must take for yourselves [IDM] anything that Yahweh has said must be destroyed. But if you do what I say, Yahweh will stop being angry with you, and he will act mercifully toward you. And he will cause you to have many children/descendants, which is what he promised our ancestors that he would do.
18 nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu na kũmenyerera maathani make mothe marĩa ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ, na gwĩka maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make.
Yahweh our God will do all those things if you do what he is telling you to do, and if you obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do].”
