Gũcookerithia 18
1 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, hamwe na mũhĩrĩga ũcio wothe wa Lawi, matikagĩa na gĩthaka kana igai hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ. Magaatũũragio nĩ indo iria irutĩirwo Jehova cia igongona rĩa njino, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩao.
The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Matikagaya igai gatagatĩ ka ariũ a ithe wao; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: YHWH is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 Indo ici nĩcio athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩrĩirwo nĩ kũheagwo ciumĩte kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩrutaga igongona rĩa ndegwa kana rĩa ngʼondu: nĩ guoko, na thĩĩa cierĩ, na nyama cia nda.
This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 No nginya mũmaheage maciaro ma mbere ma ngano yanyu, na ma ndibei yanyu ya mũhihano, na maguta, o na guoya wa mbere wa ngʼondu cianyu cienjwo,
The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
5 nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamathuurĩte hamwe na njiaro ciao kuuma harĩ mĩhĩrĩga yanyu yothe, nĩgeetha marũgamage magatungataga thĩinĩ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe.
For YHWH your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of YHWH, him and his sons for ever.
6 Mũlawii angĩthaama, oime kũrĩa atũũraga itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa matũũra manyu thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na oke endete mũno gũkinya handũ harĩa Jehova agaathuura-rĩ,
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which YHWH shall choose;
7 no atungate thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, o ta Alawii arĩa angĩ arĩa matungataga hau mbere ya Jehova.
then he shall minister in the name of YHWH his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before YHWH.
8 Nake akaagaĩrwo indo ciiganaine na cia arĩa angĩ, o na gũtuĩka nĩamũkĩrĩte mbeeca ciumanĩte na kwendia indo cia nyũmba yao.
They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
9 Rĩrĩa mũgaathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, mũtikanerute maũndũ ma kwĩgerekania na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ kuo.
When you have come into the land which YHWH your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 Rekei gũtikanoneke mũndũ thĩinĩ wanyu ũkũruta igongona rĩa gũcina mũriũ kana mwarĩ, kana ũkũragũra, kana ũkũrogana, kana mũtuĩria wa nyoni ya mũndũ, kana mũndũ-mũgo,
There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who practices divination, or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer,
11 kana mũrogani wa ithitũ, kana mũndũ ũrĩ na maroho ma kũragũra, kana mũrogi, o na kana mũndũ ũkaragũra na maroho ma andũ akuũ.
or who casts spells, or consults a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquires of the dead.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio nĩonagwo arĩ magigi nĩ Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio marĩ magigi, nĩkĩo Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũrutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciehere mbere yanyu.
For whoever does these things is an abomination to YHWH. And because of these abominations YHWH your God is driving them out from before you.
13 Inyuĩ no nginya mũtuĩke andũ matarĩ ũcuuke mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
You shall be blameless before YHWH your God.
14 Ndũrĩrĩ iria mũgaatunya bũrũri-rĩ, nĩithikagĩrĩria arogi na andũ arĩa maragũraga. No inyuĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu ndamwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka ũguo.
For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, YHWH your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũtũmĩra mũnabii o ta niĩ kuuma harĩ ariũ a thoguo. No nginya mũmũiguage.
YHWH your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mworirie Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ kũu Horebu mũthenya ũrĩa muonganĩte, rĩrĩa mwoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkareke tũigue mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai witũ, kana tuone mwaki ũcio mũnene rĩngĩ, nĩgeetha tũtigakue.”
This is according to all that you desired of YHWH your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die."
17 Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Ũguo moiga nĩ wega.
YHWH said to me, "They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Nĩngamarahũrĩra mũnabii o tawe oime thĩinĩ wa ariũ a ithe wao; na nĩngekĩra ciugo ciakwa kanua gake, nake nĩakameera ũrĩa wothe ngaamwatha.
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 Mũndũ o wothe ũkaarega kũigua ciugo ciakwa iria mũnabii ũcio akaaria thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngamũũria ũhoro ũcio.
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will call him to account.
20 No rĩrĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa ũkaaria ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na mwĩgerero akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, oige ũndũ itamwathĩte, kana mũnabii ũrĩa ũkaaria akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa ngai ingĩ, no nginya akooragwo.”
But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die."
21 Mwahota kwĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩkĩmenya atĩa rĩrĩa ndũmĩrĩri ĩtaarĩtio nĩ Jehova?”
If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?"
22 Ũndũ ũrĩa mũnabii angĩaria rĩĩtwa-inĩ rĩa Jehova, naguo ũndũ ũcio wage kuoneka kana kũhinga, ĩyo nĩ ndũmĩrĩri ĩtaarĩtio nĩ Jehova. Mũnabii ũcio aarĩtie na mwĩgerero. Mũtikanamwĩtigĩre.
When a prophet speaks in the name of YHWH, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which YHWH has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
