Gũcookerithia 22
1 Ũngĩkoona ndegwa kana ngʼondu ya mũrũ wa ithe wanyu yũrĩte, ndũkamĩtiganĩrie, no tigĩrĩra wona nĩwamĩcookia kũrĩ we.
You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall in any case bring them again unto your 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 your brother be not nigh unto you, or if you know him not, then you shall bring it unto your own house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him again.
3 Ũgeeka o ũguo, ũngĩkoona ndigiri ya mũrũ wa thoguo, kana kabuti gake, kana o kĩndũ gĩothe atete, ndũkanetue ta ũtacionete.
In like manner shall you do with his ass; and so shall you do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found, shall you do likewise: you may not hide yourself.
4 Ũngĩkoona ndigiri ya mũrũ wa thoguo, kana ndegwa yake ĩgũĩte njĩra-inĩ, ndũkanamĩtiganĩrie; mũteithĩrĩrie kũmĩrũgamia.
You shall not see your brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you 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.
The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD your 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 you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you 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.
But you shall in any way let the dam go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your 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 you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you bring not blood upon your house, if any man fall from thence.
9 Ndũkahaande mbegũ cia mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ; ũngĩgeeka ũguo nĩũgathaahia mĩmera ĩrĩa ũhaandĩte, o na maciaro ma mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ.
You shall not sow your vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
10 Ndũkanarĩmithie ndegwa na ndigiri ciohanĩtio mũraũ ũmwe.
You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 Ndũkanehumbe nguo cia guoya wa ngʼondu na cia gatani ciogothanĩtio hamwe.
You shall not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
12 Ohagĩrĩra ciohe cia ndigi mĩthia-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩna ya kabuti karĩa wĩhumbaga.
You shall make you fringes upon the four quarters of your vesture, wherewith you cover yourself.
13 Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia na thuutha wa gũkoma nake acooke amũthũũre,
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate 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 give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 hĩndĩ ĩyo ithe na nyina nĩmagatwara maũndũ ma kuonania atĩ nĩ mũirĩtu gathirange harĩ athuuri hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra.
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto 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 unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hates 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 given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not your daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 nao athuuri acio nĩmakanyiita mũndũ ũcio mamũherithie.
And the elders of that city shall take that 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 in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto 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, and the tokens of virginity be not found for 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 out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shall you put evil away from among you.
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 an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you put away evil from Israel.
23 Mũndũ angĩcemania na mũirĩtu gathirange itũũra-inĩ orĩtio ahikio, na mũndũ ũcio akome nake,
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie 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 all of you shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and all of you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour's wife: so you shall put away evil from among you.
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 a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that 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 unto the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbour, and slays 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, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28 Mũndũ angĩgacemania na mũirĩtu gathirange ũtoorĩtio ahikio, amũnyiite na hinya nao mamenyeke-rĩ,
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie 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 that lay with her shall give unto 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, nor discover his father's skirt.
