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,
“When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
2 na thuutha wa kuuma gwake mũciĩ, mũtumia ũcio atuĩke mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ,
when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
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 the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
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.
her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
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 takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
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.
No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
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.
When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
8 Ha ũhoro wa mĩrimũ ya mangũ, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũno gwĩka o ũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio Alawii, makaamũruta. No nginya mũrũmĩrĩre wega ũrĩa ndĩmathĩte.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
9 Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu eekire Miriamu mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ mwarĩkia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũngĩkombithia mũndũ wa itũũra kĩndũ o gĩothe, ndũkanatoonye nyũmba yake, ũgĩĩre kĩrĩa eranĩire atĩ nĩakaruta kĩrũgamĩrĩre.
When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
11 Ikara nja ũreke mũndũ ũcio ũkombithĩtie kĩndũ akũrehere kĩrĩa eranĩire hau nja.
you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
12 Mũndũ ũcio angĩkorwo arĩ mũthĩĩni, ndũkanaraarie kĩu eeranĩire.
And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
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.
you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
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.
You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your 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.
you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
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.
Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death 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.
You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
18 Ririkanaga warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri, na Jehova Ngai waku nĩagũkũũrire ũkiuma kuo. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you 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 you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your 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.
When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for 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.
When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
22 Ririkanaga atĩ warĩ ngombo bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩkĩo ndĩragwatha wĩkage ũguo.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
