Gũcookerithia 25
1 Hangĩgĩa ngarari gatagatĩ ka andũ eerĩ, nĩmatware ciira ũcio igooti-inĩ, nao atuithania a ciira mamatuithanie, marekererie mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na mahĩtia, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ na mahĩtia mamũtuĩre itua.
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
2 Kũngĩoneka atĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ na mahĩtia nĩagĩrĩire kũhũũrwo, mũtuithania wa ciira nĩagaathana akome ahũũrwo iboko iringaine na mahĩtia make, mũciiri ũcio akĩonaga,
And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
3 no rĩrĩ, ndakamũhũũrithie iboko makĩria ya mĩrongo ĩna. Angĩhũũrwo makĩria ya iboko icio, mũrũ wa thoguo aahota kuoneka arĩ mũmene maitho-inĩ maku.
Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother should seem vile unto you.
4 Ndũkanoohe ndegwa kanua hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩkũranga ngano ĩkĩmĩhũũra.
You shall not suppress the ox when he treads out the corn.
5 Mũndũ na mũrũ wa nyina mangĩkorwo matũũranagia hamwe, na ũmwe wao akue atarĩ na mwana wa kahĩĩ, mũtumia ũcio wake ndakanahike nja ya nyũmba ĩyo. Mũrũ ũcio wa nyina na mũthuuriwe nĩakamuoya amũhikie, na amũhingĩrie bata wake o ta mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuriwe.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
6 Mwana wa mbere wa kahĩĩ ũrĩa agaaciara nĩwe ũgaatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩa ũcio ũkuĩte, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtikanathario rĩehere Isiraeli.
And it shall be, that the firstborn which she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
7 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkorwo ndekwenda kũhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina, mũtumia ũcio nĩagathiĩ kũrĩ athuuri hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra, ameere atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuri wakwa nĩaregete gũtũũria rĩĩtwa rĩa mũrũ wa nyina gũkũ Isiraeli. Nĩaregete kũhingia bata ũrĩa mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuri wa mũtumia agĩrĩirwo nĩ kũhingia.”
And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuses to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo athuuri acio a itũũra rĩake nĩmageta mũndũ ũcio mamwarĩrie. Mũndũ ũcio angĩgwatĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ndirenda kũmũhikia,”
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
9 mũtumia ũcio wa mũrũ wa nyina nĩakambata athiĩ harĩ we o hau harĩ athuuri acio, amũrute kĩraatũ kĩmwe gĩake, acooke amũtuĩre mata ũthiũ, amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũndũ ũrĩa warega gwaka nyũmba ya mũrũ wa nyina ekagwo.”
Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
10 Rũciaro rwa mũndũ ũcio kũu Isiraeli rũgeetagwo Nyũmba ya Mũndũ Ũrutĩtwo Kĩraatũ.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed.
11 Andũ eerĩ mangĩkorwo makĩrũa, nake mũtumia wa ũmwe wao oke gũteithũra mũthuuri wake kuuma kũrĩ ũcio maraarũa nake, nake amũnyiite kĩĩga gĩake gĩa ũciari,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near in order to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the secrets:
12 nĩagatinio guoko kũu gwake. Ndakanaiguĩrwo tha.
Then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall not pity her.
13 Mũtigaakoragwo na mahiga ma gũthima meerĩ mataiganainie ũritũ mondo-inĩ cianyu, rĩmwe iritũ na rĩngĩ ihũthũ.
You shall not have in your bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14 Mũtigakoragwo na igeri igĩrĩ itaiganaine nyũmba-inĩ cianyu, kĩmwe kĩnene na kĩmwe kĩnini.
You shall not have in your house divers measures, a great and a small.
15 No nginya mũkoragwo na ithimi na igeri iria ciagĩrĩire na cia kwĩhokwo, nĩgeetha matukũ manyu maingĩhe ma gũtũũra bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmũhe.
But you shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shall you have: that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩathũire mũndũ o wothe wĩkaga maũndũ macio, mũndũ o wothe wĩkaga maũndũ matarĩ ma wĩhokeku.
For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD your God.
17 Ririkanaga ũrĩa Aamaleki maamwĩkire mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way, when all of you were come forth out of Egypt;
18 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwarĩ anogu na mũgathirwo nĩ hinya, nĩmacemanirie na inyuĩ rĩrĩa mwarĩ rũgendo-inĩ na makĩũraga andũ othe arĩa maarigĩtie na thuutha; makĩaga gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
How he met you by the way, and stroke the hindmost of you, even all that were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu akaamũhe ũhurũko kuuma kũrĩ thũ iria ciothe imũrigiicĩirie bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ekũmũhe mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu-rĩ, mũkaaniina kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩtũma Aamaleki maririkanwo gũkũ thĩ guothe. Mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ ũndũ ũcio.
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all of your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget it.
