Gũcookerithia 19
1 Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu agaakorwo aniinĩte ndũrĩrĩ iria ekũmũhe bũrũri wacio, na rĩrĩa na inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũrĩkĩtie kũingata ndũrĩrĩ icio, na mũgaatũũra matũũra ma cio na nyũmba ciacio,
And when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives thee, [even] the land, and ye shall inherit them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
2 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamũra matũũra matatũ marĩ handũ gatagatĩ ka bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre.
thou shalt separate for thyself three cities in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee.
3 Mũgaathondeka barabara cierekeire matũũra macio, naguo bũrũri ũcio Jehova ekũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, mũwatũre icunjĩ ithatũ, nĩgeetha mũndũ o wothe ũngĩũraga mũndũ oragĩre kuo.
Take a survey of thy way, and thou shalt divide the coasts of thy land, which the Lord thy God apportions to thee, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
4 Ũyũ nĩguo watho ũkoniĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩũraga mũndũ ũngĩ na oorĩre kuo nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake, nake nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩũraga mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake ataciirĩire gwĩka ũndũ ũcio, na akorwo ndaamũthũire mbere ĩyo.
And this shall be the ordinance of the manslayer, who shall flee thither, and shall live, whosoever shall have smitten his neighbour ignorantly, whereas he hated him not in times past.
5 Ta rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩthiĩ mũtitũ marĩ na mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake makoine ngũ, na akĩhiũria ithanwa ateme mũtĩ-rĩ, ithanwa rĩrũke, rĩrũũge, rĩringe mũndũ ũcio wa itũũra rĩake, rĩmũũrage. Mũndũ ũcio no orĩre itũũra rĩmwe rĩa macio nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake.
And whosoever shall enter with his neighbour into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the axe should be violently shaken, and the axe head falling off from the handle should light on his neighbour, and he should die, he shall flee to one of these cities, and live.
6 Angĩaga gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, mũrĩhanĩria wa thakame ahota gũthingatana nake arĩ na marakara amũnyiite, angĩkorwo itũũra rĩa kũũrĩrwo nĩrĩraihĩrĩirie mũno, amũũrage o na gũtuĩka ndagĩrĩire kũũragwo nĩ ũndũ ndaathũire mũndũ ũcio mbere ĩyo.
Lest the avenger of blood pursue after the slayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and slay him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he hated him not in time past.
7 Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũma ndĩmwathe mwĩyamũrĩre matũũra manene matatũ ma kũũrĩrwo.
Therefore I charge thee, saying, Thou shalt separate for thy self three cities.
8 Jehova Ngai wanyu angĩkongerera mĩhaka ya bũrũri wanyu o ta ũrĩa erĩire maithe manyu na mwĩhĩtwa, amũhe bũrũri wothe ũrĩa aamerĩire,
And if the Lord shall enlarge thy borders, as he sware to thy fathers, and the Lord shall give to thee all the land which he said he would give to thy fathers;
9 nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũgaakorwo mũmenyereire wega maathani maya ndĩramwatha ũmũthĩ, atĩ mwendage Jehova Ngai wanyu, na mũthiage na njĩra ciake hĩndĩ ciothe, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamũra matũũra mangĩ matatũ ma kũũrĩrwo.
if thou shalt hearken to do all these commands, which I charge thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways continually; thou shalt add for thyself yet three cities to these three.
10 Mũgeeka ũguo nĩgeetha gũtikanaitwo thakame ya mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũru bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na ningĩ nĩgeetha mũtikagĩe na mahĩtia ma gũita thakame.
So innocent blood shall not be spilt in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, and there shall not be in thee one guilty of blood.
11 No mũndũ angĩkorwo athũire mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, nake amuoherie njĩra-inĩ, amũtharĩkĩre amũũrage, acooke orĩre itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa macio-rĩ,
But if there should be in thee a man hating his neighbour, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him, that he die, and he should flee to one of these cities,
12 athuuri a itũũra rĩake nĩmakamũtũmanĩra, arehwo kuuma kũu itũũra-inĩ, mamũneane kũrĩ mũrĩhanĩria wa thakame nĩguo ooragwo.
then shall the elders of his city send, and take him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall die.
13 Mũtikanamũiguĩre tha. No nginya mũniine wĩhia wa ũiti wa thakame ĩtarĩ na ũũru bũrũri-inĩ wa Isiraeli, nĩgeetha maũndũ manyu magĩrĩre.
Thine eye shall not spare him; so shalt thou purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with thee.
14 Mũndũ ndakaneherie ihiga rĩa mũhaka rĩa mũndũ ũrĩa mariganĩtie, rĩrĩa rĩahaandirwo nĩ arĩa maarĩ mbere yanyu igai-inĩ rĩrĩa mũkaamũkĩra bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre.
Thou shalt not move the landmarks of thy neighbour, which thy fathers set in the inheritance, in which thou hast obtained a share in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
15 Mũira ũmwe ti mũiganu wa gũtũma mũndũ atuĩrwo nĩ ũndũ wa ngero kana wa ihĩtia rĩrĩa angĩkorwo ekĩte. No nginya ũhoro ũtuuo nĩ wa ma na ũndũ wa ũira wa andũ eerĩ kana atatũ.
One witness shall not stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
16 Mũira ũrĩ na rũthũũro angĩrũgama gũthitangĩra mũndũ ngero,
And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
17 andũ acio eerĩ magĩte na ngarari, no nginya marũgame harĩ Jehova, mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai na aciirithania arĩa magaakorwo makĩruta wĩra ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.
18 Aciirithania acio no nginya matuĩrie ũhoro na kĩyo, na mũira ũcio angĩoneka nĩ wa maheeni, nĩaraigĩrĩra mũrũ wa ithe kĩgeenyo-rĩ,
And the judges shall make diligent inquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;
19 hĩndĩ ĩyo mũmwĩke o ta ũrĩa aciirĩire gwĩka mũrũ wa ithe. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio thĩinĩ wanyu.
then shall ye do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and thou shalt remove the evil from yourselves.
20 Andũ arĩa angĩ nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio nao metigĩre, naguo ũndũ ũcio mũũru ndũgacooka gwĩkwo rĩngĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
21 Mũtikanaigue tha; muoyo uumage muoyo, na riitho riumage riitho, na igego riumage igego, na guoko kuumage guoko, o na kũgũrũ kuumage kũgũrũ.
Thine eye shall not spare him: [thou shalt exact] life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
