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.
'There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi — a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat,
2 Matikagaya igai gatagatĩ ka ariũ a ithe wao; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.
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.
'And this is the priest's right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;
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 of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to 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 on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his sons continually.
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,
'And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,
7 no atungate thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, o ta Alawii arĩa angĩ arĩa matungataga hau mbere ya Jehova.
then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,
8 Nake akaagaĩrwo indo ciiganaine na cia arĩa angĩ, o na gũtuĩka nĩamũkĩrĩte mbeeca ciumanĩte na kwendia indo cia nyũmba yao.
portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.
9 Rĩrĩa mũgaathiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe, mũtikanerute maũndũ ma kwĩgerekania na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ kuo.
'When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to 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 is not found in thee one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and 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.
and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto 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 the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.
13 Inyuĩ no nginya mũtuĩke andũ matarĩ ũcuuke mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,
14 Ndũrĩrĩ iria mũgaatunya bũrũri-rĩ, nĩithikagĩrĩria arogi na andũ arĩa maragũraga. No inyuĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu ndamwĩtĩkĩrĩtie gwĩka ũguo.
for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou — not so hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee.
15 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũtũmĩra mũnabii o ta niĩ kuuma harĩ ariũ a thoguo. No nginya mũmũiguage.
'A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee — unto him ye hearken;
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.”
according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;
17 Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Ũguo moiga nĩ wega.
and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that 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.
a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I 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.
and it hath been — the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.
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.”
'Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name — that which I have not commanded him to speak — and who speaketh in the name of other gods — even that prophet hath died.
21 Mwahota kwĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩkĩmenya atĩa rĩrĩa ndũmĩrĩri ĩtaarĩtio nĩ Jehova?”
'And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath 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.
that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not — it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; — thou art not afraid of him.
