“Observe the month of new grain, at the beginning of springtime, so that you may accomplish the Passover to the Lord your God. For in this month, the Lord your God led you away from Egypt in the night.

2 Nĩmũgathĩnjĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwanyu rwa mbũri kana rwa ngʼombe, mũcithĩnjĩre handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake.

And you shall immolate the Passover to the Lord your God, from sheep and from oxen, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

3 Mũtikanamĩrĩĩanĩrie na mĩgate mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, no ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩe mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, arĩ yo mĩgate ya mĩnyamaro, nĩ ũndũ mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri na ihenya, na nĩgeetha matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wanyu mũririkanage mũthenya ũcio mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.

You shall not eat it with leavened bread. For seven days you shall eat, without leaven, the bread of affliction. For you departed from Egypt in fear. So may you remember the day of your departure from Egypt, throughout all the days of your life.

4 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũtikanakorwo mũrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia bũrũri-inĩ wanyu wothe. Mũtikanareke nyama o ciothe cia iria mũkũruta igongona hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mbere iraare nginya rũciinĩ.

No leaven shall be present in all your confines for seven days. And by morning, there shall not remain any of the flesh which was immolated on the first day in the evening.

5 Mũtikanathĩnjĩre igongona rĩa Bathaka itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe kũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe,

You cannot immolate the Passover in any of your cities, which the Lord your God will give to you, that you wish,

6 tiga o harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake. Hau nĩho mũkaarutĩra igongona rĩa Bathaka hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa riũa rĩthũaga, rĩtuĩke rĩa kũririkana ihinda rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.

but only in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there. You shall immolate the Passover in the evening, upon the setting of the sun, which is the time when you departed from Egypt.

7 Mũkaarĩhĩhĩria na mũrĩrĩĩre handũ hau Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura. Ningĩ kwarooka gũkĩa mũcooke hema-inĩ cianyu.

And you shall cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose, and, rising up in the morning, you shall go into your tent.

8 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtandatũ mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũgĩe na kĩũngano kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũtikarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ.

For six days, you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord your God, you shall do no work.

9 Taragai ciumia mũgwanja kuuma mwambĩrĩria kũgetha ngano ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ngethe.

You shall number for yourself seven weeks from that day, the day on which you put the sickle to the grain field.

10 Mũcooke mũkũngũĩre Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai wanyu, na ũndũ wa kũruta maruta ma kwĩyendera maringaine na irathimo iria Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte nacio.

And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, to the Lord your God, with a voluntary oblation from your hand, which you shall offer according to the blessing of the Lord your God.

11 Na mũkenagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ handũ harĩa agaathuura ha gũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩake, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii arĩa marĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.

And you shall feast in the sight of the Lord your God: you, your son and your daughter, your man servant and your woman servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the new arrival as well as the orphan and the widow, who abide with you, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

12 Ririkanai atĩ mwarĩ ngombo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na mũrũmagĩrĩre wega irĩra icio cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.

And you shall recall that you were a servant in Egypt. And you shall preserve and carry out the things that have been instructed.

13 Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ mĩthenya mũgwanja thuutha wa gũcookereria maciaro marĩa moimĩte ihuhĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ngano, na ihihĩro-inĩ cianyu cia ndibei.

Likewise, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days, when you will have gathered your fruits from the orchard and the winepress.

14 Kenagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩanyu, inyuĩ, na ariũ anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na Alawii, na andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, o na atumia a ndigwa arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu.

And you shall feast at the time of your festival: you, your son and daughter, your man servant and woman servant, likewise the Levite and the new arrival, the orphan and the widow, who are within your gates.

15 Kũngũyagĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩu kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũrĩ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũrathima magetha-inĩ manyu mothe, na mawĩra-inĩ mothe ma moko manyu, nakĩo gĩkeno kĩanyu nĩgĩkaiganĩra.

For seven days you shall celebrate feasts to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord will choose. And the Lord your God will bless you in all your crops, and in every work of your hands. And you shall be joyful.

16 Arũme othe anyu no nginya makeyumĩria mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu maita matatũ o mwaka marĩ handũ hau agaathuura: hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩimbie, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia, na ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ. Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũkoimĩra mbere ya Jehova moko matheri:

Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight the Lord your God in the place which he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. No one shall appear before the Lord empty.

17 O ũmwe wanyu no nginya akarehaga kĩheo kĩringaine na ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amũrathimĩte.

But each one shall offer according to what he will have, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he will give to him.

18 Mũgaathuura aciiri, o na anene a o mũhĩrĩga kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe yanyu o itũũra-inĩ o rĩothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, nao nĩmagatuagĩra andũ ciira wega.

You shall appoint judges and magistrates at all your gates, which the Lord your God will give to you, throughout each of your tribes, so that they may judge the people with a just judgment,

19 Mũtikanahotomie ciira kana mũgĩe na gũthutũkania. Mũtikanamũkĩre ihaki, nĩgũkorwo ihaki nĩrĩtũmaga maitho ma mũndũ mũũgĩ matuĩke matumumu, na rĩkoogomia ciugo cia mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu.

and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.

20 Rũmagĩrĩrai kĩhooto kĩo giiki, nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo na mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe.

You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

21 Mũtikanahaande gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩrĩa mũgaathondekera Jehova Ngai wanyu,

You shall not plant a sacred grove, nor shall you plant any tree near the altar of the Lord your God;

22 na mũtikanaake ihiga rĩa kũhooyagwo, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire maũndũ macio.

you shall neither make nor set up for yourself a statue. These things the Lord your God hates.”
