Gũcookerithia 24
1 Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia na age gũkenio nĩwe nĩ ũndũ wa kũmuona na ũndũ ũtagĩrĩire, nake mũndũ ũcio amwandĩkĩre marũa ma ndigano, amũnengere na amũingate oime gwake mũciĩ,
If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 na thuutha wa kuuma gwake mũciĩ, mũtumia ũcio atuĩke mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ,
And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
3 nake mũthuuriwe ũcio wa keerĩ age kũmwenda, na amwandĩkĩre marũa ma ndigano, amũnengere na amũingate oime gwake mũciĩ, kana mũthuuri ũcio wa keerĩ akue,
And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
4 mũthuuri wake ũrĩa warĩ wa mbere, ũrĩa wamũingatire, ndetĩkĩrĩtio kũmũhikia rĩngĩ thuutha wa gũkorwo arĩkĩtie gũthũkio. Ũcio ũngĩtuĩka ũndũ ũrĩ thaahu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Mũtikanarehe wĩhia bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu.
The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
5 Mũndũ angĩkorwo no hĩndĩ arahikanirie, ndakanatũmwo mbaara-inĩ kana aheo wĩra ũngĩ o wothe. Ihinda rĩa mwaka mũgima, nĩarekwo aikare mũciĩ ambe akenie mũtumia wake ũcio ahikĩtie.
When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Ndũkanoe mahiga meerĩ ma gĩthĩi ma mũndũ ũrĩ na thiirĩ waku, o na kana ũthiĩ na ihiga rĩa igũrũ riiki atĩ nĩguo rĩrũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ ũcio, nĩ ũndũ gwĩka ũguo no ta kuoya muoyo wa mũndũ ũcio.
Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
7 Mũndũ angĩnyiitwo aiyĩte mũrũ wa ithe Mũisiraeli akamũtua ta ngombo kana akamwendia, mũici ũcio no nginya ooragwo. No nginya mũniine ũũru wehere gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
If any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 Ha ũhoro wa mĩrimũ ya mangũ, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũno gwĩka o ũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio Alawii, makaamũruta. No nginya mũrũmĩrĩre wega ũrĩa ndĩmathĩte.
Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
9 Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu eekire Miriamu mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ mwarĩkia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũngĩkombithia mũndũ wa itũũra kĩndũ o gĩothe, ndũkanatoonye nyũmba yake, ũgĩĩre kĩrĩa eranĩire atĩ nĩakaruta kĩrũgamĩrĩre.
When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
11 Ikara nja ũreke mũndũ ũcio ũkombithĩtie kĩndũ akũrehere kĩrĩa eranĩire hau nja.
But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
12 Mũndũ ũcio angĩkorwo arĩ mũthĩĩni, ndũkanaraarie kĩu eeranĩire.
But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
13 Mũcookerie kabuti gake riũa rĩtanathũa nĩgeetha ehumbe agĩkoma. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩagagũcookeria ngaatho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũkonwo ũrĩ gĩĩko kĩa ũthingu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai waku.
But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
14 Ndũkanahinyirĩrie mũndũ wa kũrĩhwo ũrĩa mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, arĩ mũrũ wa ithe wanyu Mũisiraeli kana mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũtũũraga itũũra rĩmwe rĩa matũũra manyu.
Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:
15 Mũrĩhe mũcaara wake wa o mũthenya riũa rĩtanathũa, nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũthĩĩni na mũcaara ũcio nĩguo ehokete. Kwaga ũguo, aahota gũkaĩra Jehova igũrũ rĩaku, nawe woneke wĩhĩtie harĩ Jehova.
But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
16 Maithe ma ciana matikooragwo nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma ciana ciao, kana ciana ciũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma maithe; o mũndũ arĩkuaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.
17 Ndũkanaagithie mũndũ wa kũngĩ kana mwana wa ngoriai kĩhooto ciira-inĩ, kana woe kabuti ka mũtumia wa ndigwa karũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
18 Ririkanaga warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri, na Jehova Ngai waku nĩagũkũũrire ũkiuma kuo. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 Rĩrĩa ũkũgetha mũgũnda waku, ũngĩriganĩrwo nĩ gĩtĩĩa, ndũgagĩcookere. Gĩtigĩre mũndũ wa kũngĩ, na mwana wa ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa, nĩgeetha Jehova Ngai waku akũrathimage wĩra-inĩ wothe wa moko maku.
When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũhũrũra ndamaiyũ kuuma mĩtĩ-inĩ yaku, tigaga gũcookera honge ciaguo riita rĩa keerĩ. Tigagĩria andũ a kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa matigari.
If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkũgetha thabibũ mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ, ndũgacooke kũhaara rĩngĩ iria ciatigwo. Tigagĩra mũndũ wa kũngĩ, na ciana cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wa ndigwa matigari.
If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
22 Ririkanaga atĩ warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
