Gũcookerithia 22
1 Ũngĩkoona ndegwa kana ngʼondu ya mũrũ wa ithe wanyu yũrĩte, ndũkamĩtiganĩrie, no tigĩrĩra wona nĩwamĩcookia kũrĩ we.
Thou shall not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely bring them again to thy brother.
2 Mũrũ wa ithe wanyu ũcio angĩkorwo ndaikaraga hakuhĩ nawe, kana ũngĩkorwo ndũmũĩ, ũkaamĩtwara gwaku mũciĩ nginya rĩrĩa agooka kũmĩcaria; hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmũcookerie.
And if thy brother be not near to thee, or if thou do not know him, then thou shall bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seeks after it, and thou shall restore it to him.
3 Ũgeeka o ũguo, ũngĩkoona ndigiri ya mũrũ wa thoguo, kana kabuti gake, kana o kĩndũ gĩothe atete, ndũkanetue ta ũtacionete.
And so shall thou do with his donkey, and so shall thou do with his garment, and so shall thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which he has lost, and thou have found. Thou may not hide thyself.
4 Ũngĩkoona ndigiri ya mũrũ wa thoguo, kana ndegwa yake ĩgũĩte njĩra-inĩ, ndũkanamĩtiganĩrie; mũteithĩrĩrie kũmĩrũgamia.
Thou shall not see thy brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely help him to lift them up again.
5 Mũndũ-wa-nja ndakanehumbe nguo cia arũme, kana mũndũ mũrũme ehumbe nguo cia andũ-a-nja, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire mũndũ o wothe wĩkaga ũguo.
A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
6 Ũngĩgaakorerera gĩtara kĩa nyoni mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, kĩrĩ mũtĩ igũrũ kana kĩrĩ thĩ, nayo nyoni ĩyo ĩkorwo ĩkomereirie tũcui twayo kana matumbĩ, ndũkanoe nyoni ĩyo na tũcui twayo.
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shall not take the dam with the young.
7 No woe tũcui, no no nginya ũkaarekereria nyina yũmbũke, nĩgeetha wonage maũndũ mega na ũtũũre hĩndĩ ndaaya.
Thou shall surely let the dam go, but the young thou may take to thyself, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may prolong thy days.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũngĩaka nyũmba njerũ, ũkaamĩĩkĩra rũirigo rũmĩthiũrũrũkĩirie igũrũ nĩgeetha ndũkarehithĩrie andũ a nyũmba yaku ũũru wa ũiti wa thakame, mũndũ angĩkaagũa kuuma nyũmba igũrũ.
When thou build a new house, then thou shall make a guard rail for thy roof, that thou not bring blood upon thy house, if any man falls from there.
9 Ndũkahaande mbegũ cia mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ; ũngĩgeeka ũguo nĩũgathaahia mĩmera ĩrĩa ũhaandĩte, o na maciaro ma mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
Thou shall not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited: the seed which thou have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
10 Ndũkanarĩmithie ndegwa na ndigiri ciohanĩtio mũraũ ũmwe.
Thou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
11 Ndũkanehumbe nguo cia guoya wa ngʼondu na cia gatani ciogothanĩtio hamwe.
Thou shall not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
12 Ohagĩrĩra ciohe cia ndigi mĩthia-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩna ya kabuti karĩa wĩhumbaga.
Thou shall make for thee hems upon the four borders of thy clothing, with which thou cover thyself.
13 Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia na thuutha wa gũkoma nake acooke amũthũũre,
If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and dislikes her,
14 na aarie ndeto cia kũmũcambia, nake amũthũkĩrie rĩĩtwa, oige atĩrĩ, “Ndahikirie mũtumia ũyũ, no rĩrĩ, ndamũkuhĩrĩria ndionire imenyithia cia atĩ nĩ mũirĩtu gathirange,”
and charges her with shameful things, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,
15 hĩndĩ ĩyo ithe na nyina nĩmagatwara maũndũ ma kuonania atĩ nĩ mũirĩtu gathirange harĩ athuuri hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra.
then the father of the damsel, and her mother, shall take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
16 Ithe wa mũirĩtu nĩakeera athuuri atĩrĩ, “Ndaheanire mũirĩtu wakwa ahikio nĩ mũndũ ũyũ, no rĩrĩ, rĩu nĩamũthuurĩte.
And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he dislikes her.
17 Nĩamũcambĩtie akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndiakorire mwarĩguo arĩ mũirĩtu gathirange.’ No rĩrĩ, ici nĩcio imenyithia cia kuonania atĩ mũirĩtu wakwa arĩ mũirĩtu gathirange.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo aciari a mũirĩtu ũcio nĩmagatambũrũkia gĩtambaya kĩu mbere ya athuuri a itũũra,
And, lo, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in thy daughter the tokens of virginity, and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
18 nao athuuri acio nĩmakanyiita mũndũ ũcio mamũherithie.
And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him,
19 Nĩmakamwĩtia thĩnjo ya cekeri igana rĩmwe cia betha, macineane kũrĩ ithe wa mũirĩtu, nĩ ũndũ mũndũ ũcio nĩacambĩtie mũirĩtu gathirange wa Isiraeli. Mũirĩtu ũcio agaathiĩ na mbere gũtuĩka mũtumia wake; ndakanamũte matukũ mothe marĩa egũtũũra muoyo.
and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 No rĩrĩ, kũngĩgaatuĩka atĩ thitango ĩyo nĩ ya ma, na kwage kĩmenyithia gĩa kuonania atĩ mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩ gathirange,
But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel,
21 nĩakarehwo mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba ya ithe, nao arũme a itũũra rĩake nĩmakamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue. Nĩekĩte ũndũ wa thoni thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli nĩkũhũũra ũmaraya arĩ o nyũmba gwa ithe. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
then they shall bring the damsel out to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
22 Mũndũ mũrũme angĩnyiitwo akomete na mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ, o eerĩ, mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia ũcio, no nginya makue. No nginya mũniine ũũru ũcio wehere Isiraeli.
If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. So shall thou put away the evil from Israel.
23 Mũndũ angĩcemania na mũirĩtu gathirange itũũra-inĩ orĩtio ahikio, na mũndũ ũcio akome nake,
If there be a damsel who is a virgin betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
24 nĩmũkamanyiita eerĩ, mũmoimagarie kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu, mũmahũũre na mahiga nyuguto nginya makue; mũirĩtu ũcio akooragwo tondũ aarĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra na ndoigire mbu nĩguo ateithio, nake mũndũ mũrũme ũcio akooragwo tondũ wa gũthũkia mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ. No nginya mũniine ũũru wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city. And ye shall stone them to death with stones, the damsel, because she did not cry out, being in the city, and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee.
25 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ mũrũme angĩcemania na mũirĩtu ũrĩĩtio ahikio arĩ na kũu nja ya itũũra, na amũnyiite na hinya, mũndũ mũrũme ũcio wĩkĩte ũguo nowe wiki ũgaakua.
But if the man finds the damsel who is betrothed in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die,
26 No rĩrĩ, mũirĩtu ũcio mũtikanamwĩke ũndũ; ndeekĩte rĩhia rĩa gũtũma ooragwo. Ũndũ ũcio nĩ ta wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtharĩkagĩra akooraga mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake,
but to the damsel thou shall do nothing. There is in the damsel no sin worthy of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter,
27 nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũcio aacemanirie na mũirĩtu ũcio na kũu nja ya itũũra, o na gũtuĩka mũirĩtu ũcio ũrĩĩtio nĩoigire mbu, hatiarĩ na mũndũ wakũmũteithũra.
for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried out, and there was none to save her.
28 Mũndũ angĩgacemania na mũirĩtu gathirange ũtoorĩtio ahikio, amũnyiite na hinya nao mamenyeke-rĩ,
If a man finds a damsel who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they be found,
29 mũndũ ũcio nĩakarĩha ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha. Mũndũ ũcio no nginya ahikie mũirĩtu ũcio, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũthũkĩtie. Ndakanamũte matukũ mothe marĩa egũtũũra muoyo.
then the man who lay with her shall give to the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
30 Mũndũ mũrũme ndagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhikia mũtumia wa ithe; ndakanaconorithie ũrĩrĩ wa ithe.
A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
