Gũcookerithia 17

1 Mũtikanarutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu igongona rĩa ndegwa kana rĩa ngʼondu ĩrĩ na kaũũgũ kana ũũgũ, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ thaahu harĩ Jehova.

You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a calf or a sheep, in which there is a blemish, [or] any evil thing; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

2 Mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa kũrĩa Jehova ekũmũhe, angĩoneka agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wanyu na ũndũ wa gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake,

And if there should be found in any one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who shall do that which is evil before the Lord your God, so as to transgress his covenant,

3 na agakararia rĩathani rĩakwa akahooya ngai ingĩ, na agaciinamĩrĩra kana akainamĩrĩra riũa, kana mweri, kana njata cia matu-inĩ,

and they should go and serve other gods, and worship them, the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which he commanded you not to do,

4 na mũmenyithio ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya mũgaatuĩria ũhoro ũcio wega. Kũngĩkorwo ũhoro ũcio nĩ wa ma, na hakorwo na ũira atĩ ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ thaahu nĩwĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli,

and it be told you, and you shall have enquired diligently, and, behold, the thing really took place, this abomination has been done in Israel;

5 oyai mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio mũũru mũmũtware kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩanyu inene na inyuĩ mũmũhũre na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue.

then shall you bring out that man, or that woman, and you shall stone them with stones, and they shall die.

6 Na ũndũ wa ũira wa andũ eerĩ kana atatũ, mũndũ no oragwo, no gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkooragwo na ũndũ wa ũira wa mũndũ ũmwe.

He shall die on the testimony of two or three witnesses; a man who is put to death shall not be put to death for one witness.

7 Moko ma aira acio no nginya makorwo marĩ ma mbere ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wa kũmũũraga, na thuutha ũcio marũmĩrĩrwo nĩ moko ma andũ arĩa angĩ othe. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.

And the hand of the witnesses shall be upon him among the first to put him to death, and the hand of the people at the last; so shall you remove the evil one from among yourselves.

8 Kũngĩkaagĩa maciira magooti-inĩ manyu mũtangĩhota gũtua, marĩ ma ũiti wa thakame, o na ma gũtuithania mũndũ na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, kana mũndũ ũhũũrĩte ũrĩa ũngĩ, matwaragei handũ harĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaathuura.

And if a matter shall be too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;

9 Thiĩi kũrĩ Alawii arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na kũrĩ mũtuithania ciira ũrĩa ũrĩ wĩra-inĩ ihinda rĩu. Mũmoorie ũhoro ũcio nao mamuonie ũrĩa ciira ũcio wagĩrĩire gũtuuo.

then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out [the matter] and report the judgment to you.

10 No nginya mwĩke kũringana na matua marĩa makaamũhe mũrĩ handũ hau Jehova agaathuura. Menyagĩrĩrai mwĩkage ũrĩa wothe marĩmwathaga mwĩke.

And you shall act according to the thing which they shall report to you out of the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall observe to do all whatever shall have been by law appointed to you.

11 Ĩkagai kũringana na watho ũrĩa mamũrutĩte, na mũrũmĩrĩre matua mao marĩa mekũmũhe. Mũtikanehũgũre mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, mũtigane na ũrĩa mamwĩrĩte.

You shall do according to the law and to the judgment which they shall declare to you: you shall not swerve to the right hand or to the left from any sentence which they shall report to you.

12 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩonania kũnyarara mũtuithania ciira kana mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrũgamaga agĩtungatĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu, no nginya ooragwo. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere Isiraeli.

And the man whoever shall act in haughtiness, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord your God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and you shall remove the evil one out of Israel.

13 Andũ othe nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio nao metigĩre, na matigacooka gũkorwo marĩ na kĩnyararo rĩngĩ.

And all the people shall hear and fear, and shall no more commit impiety.

14 Rĩrĩa mũgaathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, na mũkorwo mũwĩgwatĩire na mũgaatũũra kuo, na muuge atĩrĩ, “Rekei tũgĩe na mũthamaki witũ ta ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe itũthiũrũrũkĩirie,”

And when you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall inherit it and dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a ruler over me, as also the other nations round about me;

15 Menyererai wega mũgaathuura mũthamaki ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu amwamũrĩire. No nginya akoima gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu. Mũtigathuure mũndũ wa kũngĩ atuĩke mũthamaki wanyu, mũndũ ũtarĩ mũrũ wa thoguo Mũisiraeli.

you shall surely set over you the ruler whom the Lord God shall choose: of your brethren you shall set over you a ruler; you shall not have power to set over you a stranger, because he is not your brother.

16 Mũthamaki ũcio, o nake ndakaneingĩhĩrie mbarathi, kana atũme andũ macooke bũrũri wa Misiri makamũgĩĩrĩre ingĩ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanacooke na thuutha, mũgere njĩra ĩyo rĩngĩ.”

For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, You shall not any more turn back by that way.

17 Nake ndakanahikie atumia aingĩ, nĩguo ngoro yake ndĩkanagarũrũke. Ningĩ ndakaneingĩhĩrie betha na thahabu.

And he shall not multiply to himself wives, lest his heart turn away; and he shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18 Rĩrĩa agaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũthamaki, akoya ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo, eyandĩkĩre watho ũyũ, aũrutĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa riumĩte harĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩ o Alawii.

And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;

19 Narĩo ibuku rĩu nĩaikarage narĩo, arĩthomage matukũ marĩa mothe egũtũũra muoyo nĩguo erutage gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai, na arũmagĩrĩre wega ciugo ciothe cia watho ũyũ na irĩra cia watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo,

and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord your God, and to keep all these commandments, and to observe these ordinances:

20 na ndagetuage mwega gũkĩra ariũ a ithe agarũrũke mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho atigane na watho. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, we na njiaro ciake nĩmagathamaka ihinda iraaya ũthamaki-inĩ wake kũu Isiraeli.

that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, that he depart not from the commandments on the right hand or on the left; that he and his sons may reign long in his dominion among the children of Israel.
