Gũcookerithia 21
1 Mũndũ angĩkooneka oragĩtwo, na akorwo akomete gĩthaka-inĩ kũu bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre, na kwage kũmenyeka mũndũ ũrĩa ũmũũragĩte-rĩ,
If one be founde slaine in the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it, lying in the field, and it is not knowe who hath slaine him,
2 athuuri anyu na aciirithania nĩmakoimagara magathime itĩĩna rĩa kuuma harĩa mwĩrĩ ũrĩ nginya matũũra-inĩ marĩa marĩ hakuhĩ naguo.
Then thine Elders and thy Iudges shall come forth, and measure vnto the cities that are round about him that is slayne.
3 Ningĩ athuuri a itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhĩrĩirie mũno na harĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio ũrĩ nĩmakanyiita moori ĩtarĩ yarutithio wĩra na ĩtarĩ yohwo icooki,
Aud let ye Elders of that citie, which is next vnto the slaine man, take out of the droue an heifer that hath not bene put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke.
4 nao mamĩikũrũkie gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩtarĩ kĩarĩmwo kana gĩkahaandwo, na kĩrĩ na karũũĩ gegũtherera. Nĩmakoinĩra moori ĩyo ngingo kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩu.
And let the Elders of that citie bring the heifer vnto a stonie valley, which is neyther eared nor sowen, and strike off the heifers necke there in the valley.
5 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio ariũ a Lawi, nĩmakeyumĩria nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamathuurĩte nĩguo matungatage na makarathimana makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova na magatuithanagia maciira ma andũ arĩa marĩ na ngarari o na ma andũ maangĩrũa.
Also the Priests the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lord) shall come forth, and by their word shall all strife and plague be tried.
6 Ningĩ athuuri othe a itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhĩrĩirie mũno harĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio ũrĩ nĩmagethamba moko igũrũ rĩa moori ĩyo yunĩtwo ngingo o kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ,
And all the Elders of that citie that came neere to the slayne man, shall wash their hands ouer the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7 na moige atĩrĩ, “Moko maitũ timo maaitire thakame ĩno, o na kana maitho maitũ makĩona ũndũ ũcio ũgĩĩkwo.
And shall testifie, and say, Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eies seene it.
8 Ĩtĩkĩra horohio ĩno nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli, arĩa Wee Jehova ũkũũrĩte, na ũtige kũmatua ahĩtia ũndũ-inĩ wa thakame ĩno ya mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũru.” Nayo thakame ĩyo ĩitĩtwo nĩĩkahoroherio.
O Lord, be mercifull vnto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay no innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel, and the blood shalbe forgiuen them.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgetheria ihĩtia-inĩ rĩu rĩa gũita thakame ya mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũru, kuona atĩ nĩmwĩkĩte ũndũ ũrĩa wagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
So shalt thou take away the cry of innocet blood from thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
10 Rĩrĩa mũngĩthiĩ kũrũa na thũ cianyu, nake Jehova Ngai wanyu acirekererie moko-inĩ manyu mũcitahe-rĩ,
Whe thou shalt go to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliuer them into thine hands, and thou shalt take the captiues,
11 mũngĩcooka muone thĩinĩ wa andũ acio atahe harĩ na mũndũ-wa-nja mũthaka na ũmwe wanyu aguucĩrĩrio nĩwe, no amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.
And shalt see among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
12 Nĩakamũinũkia gwake mũciĩ acooke atũme enjwo mũtwe na arenge ndwara
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shaue her head, and pare her nayles,
13 na arute nguo iria eekĩrĩte rĩrĩa aatahagwo. Thuutha wa gũikara gwake mũciĩ na acakaĩre ithe na nyina ihinda rĩa mweri mũgima-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo no athiĩ harĩ we, atuĩke mũthuuri wake nake atuĩke mũtumia wake.
And she shall put off the garment that shee was taken in, and she shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a moneth long: and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marry her, and she shalbe thy wife.
14 Angĩkaaga gũkenio nĩwe, nĩakamwĩtĩkĩria athiĩ o kũrĩa guothe angĩenda. Ndakanamwendie kana amũtue ngombo, kuona atĩ nĩamwagithĩtie gĩtĩĩo.
And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make marchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15 Mũndũ angĩkorwo na atumia eerĩ, na akorwo endete ũmwe na akaaga kwenda ũcio ũngĩ, na eerĩ mamũciarĩre ciana cia ihĩĩ, no mwana wa irigithathi akorwo nĩ wa mũtumia ũrĩa atendete-rĩ,
If a man haue two wiues, one loued and another hated, and they haue borne him children, both the loued and also the hated: if the first borne be the sonne of the hated,
16 angĩkorwo akĩgaĩra ariũ ake indo, ndakanaheane kĩhooto kĩa irigithathi kũrĩ mũriũ wa mũtumia ũrĩa eendete, handũ ha kũhe mũriũ ũrĩa arĩ we irigithathi kũna, mũriũ ũcio wa mũtumia ũrĩa atendete.
Then when the time commeth, that hee appointeth his sonnes to be heires of that which he hath, he may not make the sonne of the beloued first borne before the sonne of the hated, which is the first borne:
17 No nginya onanie atĩ mũriũ ũcio wa mũtumia ũcio atendete nĩwe irigithathi na ũndũ wa kũmũhe indo maita meerĩ thĩinĩ wa indo iria ciothe arĩ nacio. Mũriũ ũcio nĩwe kĩonereria kĩa mbere kĩa hinya wa ithe. Kĩhooto kĩa mwana wa irigithathi nĩ gĩake.
But he shall acknowledge the sonne of the hated for the first borne, and giue him double portion of all that he hath: for hee is the first of his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the first borne.
18 Mũndũ angĩkaagĩa na mũriũ ũtangĩigua na mũremi, ũtaathĩkagĩra ithe na nyina, na ũtangĩmaigua o na mamũhũũra-rĩ,
If any man haue a sonne that is stubburne and disobedient, which wil not hearken vnto the voice of his father, nor the voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he would not obey them,
19 ithe na nyina nĩmakamũnyiita mamũtware kũrĩ athuuri hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra.
Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out vnto the Elders of his citie, and vnto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
20 Nao meere athuuri atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ ũyũ witũ ndatũiguaga na nĩ mũremi, ndangĩtwathĩkĩra. Atũũraga arĩ mũmaramari na arĩ mũrĩĩu.”
And shall say vnto the Elders of his citie, This our sonne is stubburne and disobedient, and he wil not obey our admonition: he is a riotour, and a drunkard.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a itũũra nao nĩmakamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu. Ũhoro ũcio nĩũkaiguuo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli othe nao meetigĩre.
Then all the men of his citie shall stone him with stones vnto death: so thou shalt take away euill from among you, that all Israel may heare it, and feare.
22 Mũndũ angĩĩhia wĩhia ũngĩtũma ooragwo, nake ooragwo na mwĩrĩ wake ũcuurio mũtĩ igũrũ-rĩ,
If a man also haue committed a trespasse worthy of death, and is put to death, and thou hangest him on a tree,
23 mũtikanareke mwĩrĩ ũcio ũraare mũtĩ igũrũ ũtukũ ũcio wothe. Tigĩrĩrai nĩ mwamũthika mũthenya o ro ũcio, tondũ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mũcuurie mũtĩ-inĩ nĩ mũrume nĩ Ngai. Mũtikanathaahie bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu.
His body shall not remaine all night vpon the tree, but thou shalt bury him the same day: for the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not therfore thy land which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite.
