Gũcookerithia 31
1 Nake Musa akiumagara agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria andũ othe a Isiraeli na ciugo ici akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;
2 “Rĩu ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na ndingĩhota kũmũtongoria rĩngĩ. Jehova nĩanjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.’
and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 Jehova Ngai wanyu we mwene nĩakaringa arĩ mbere yanyu. Nĩakaniina ndũrĩrĩ icio mbere yanyu na inyuĩ nĩmũkegwatĩra bũrũri wacio. Joshua o nake nĩakaringa arĩ mbere yanyu ta ũrĩa Jehova oigire.
The Lord thy God who goes before thee, he shall destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before thy face, as the Lord has spoken.
4 Nake Jehova nĩakameka o ta ũrĩa eekire Sihoni na Ogu, athamaki a Aamori, arĩa aaniinire hamwe na bũrũri wao.
And the Lord thy God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.
5 Jehova nĩakamaneana kũrĩ inyuĩ, na inyuĩ no nginya mũkaameeka ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwathĩte.
And the Lord has delivered them to you; and ye shall do to them, as I charged you.
6 Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Mũtigetigĩre kana mũmake nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ egũthiĩ hamwe na inyuĩ; ndakamũtiga kana amũtirike.”
Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake thee, nor desert thee.
7 Nake Musa agĩĩta Joshua, akĩmwĩra arĩ mbere ya andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Gĩa na hinya, nĩgũkorwo no nginya ũthiĩ na andũ aya bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova eehĩtire kũrĩ maithe mao ma tene atĩ nĩakamahe, nawe no nginya ũkaaũgayania gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, ũtuĩke igai rĩao.
And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for thou shalt go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and thou shalt give it to them for an inheritance.
8 Jehova mwene nĩegũthiĩ mbere yaku na nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na we; ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaagũtiga kana agũtirike. Ndũkanetigĩre, o na kana ũkue ngoro.”
And the Lord that goes with thee shall not forsake thee nor abandon thee; fear not, neither be afraid.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩandĩka watho ũcio, agĩcooka akĩũnengera athĩnjĩri-Ngai, ariũ a Lawi, arĩa maakuĩte ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova, o na akĩũnengera athuuri othe a Isiraeli.
And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.
10 Ningĩ Musa akĩmaatha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O mũthia-inĩ wa mĩaka mũgwanja, mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo wa kũrekanĩra mathiirĩ, hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ-rĩ,
And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 nĩrĩo andũ othe a Isiraeli mariumagĩra mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu handũ harĩa we mwene agaathuura, nĩmũrĩmathomagĩra watho ũyũ mũrĩ mbere yao makĩiguaga.
when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, ye shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,
12 Cookanagĩrĩria andũ othe hamwe: arũme, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ manyu, nĩgeetha mathikĩrĩrie na merute gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu, na marũmagĩrĩre ciugo cia watho ũyũ.
having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall hearken to do all the words of this law.
13 Ciana ciao iria itooĩ watho ũyũ, no nginya ciũigue, na ciĩrute gwĩtigĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra bũrũri ũcio mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũthiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre.”
And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord thy God all the days that they live upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.
14 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gũkua gwaku ũrĩ hakuhĩ. Ĩta Joshua mũũke nake na mũrũgame Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, nĩho ngũnengerera Joshua wĩra.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Joshua magĩũka makĩrũgama Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of thy death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand ye by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akiumĩra Hema-inĩ ĩyo arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ gĩa itu, narĩo itu rĩu rĩkĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
16 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũkũhurũka hamwe na maithe maku, nao andũ aya ihinda rĩtarĩ kũraihu nĩmekũhũũra ũmaraya na ngai cia kũngĩ cia bũrũri ũrĩa mũratoonya. Nĩmakandirika na mathũkie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaathondekete nao.
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.
17 Mũthenya ũcio nĩngamarakarĩra na ndĩmatirike; nĩngamahitha ũthiũ wakwa, nao nĩmakaniinwo. Nĩmagakorwo nĩ mĩanangĩko mĩingĩ na moritũ maingĩ, nao mũthenya ũcio nĩ makooria atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ mĩanangĩko ĩno ndĩtũkorete nĩ ũndũ Ngai ndakoretwo hamwe na ithuĩ?’
And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.
18 Na hatarĩ nganja nĩngamahitha ũthiũ wakwa mũthenya ũcio, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao wothe wa gũcookerera ngai ingĩ.
And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.
19 “No rĩrĩ, wĩyandĩkĩre rwĩmbo rũrũ, na ũrũrute andũ a Isiraeli, na ũreke marũine, nĩguo rũtuĩke ũira wakwa wa kũmookĩrĩra.
And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and ye shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.
20 Ndaarĩkia kũmatoonyia bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, bũrũri ũcio nderĩire maithe mao ma tene, na rĩrĩa makaarĩa na mahũũne na matheereme, nĩmakagarũrũkĩra ngai ingĩ macihooe, maamene na mathũkie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa.
For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 Na rĩrĩa mĩanangĩko mĩingĩ na moritũ maingĩ makaamakora, rwĩmbo rũrũ nĩrũgatuĩka ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra, nĩ ũndũ njiaro ciao itikariganĩrwo nĩruo. Nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa maciirĩire gwĩka, o na itarĩ ndĩramatoonyia bũrũri ũrĩa ndaamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa.”
And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩandĩka rwĩmbo rũu o mũthenya ũcio, na akĩrũruta andũ a Isiraeli.
And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Jehova nĩaheire Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni rĩathani rĩrĩ: “Gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũgũkinyia andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũrĩa ndamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, na Niĩ mwene nĩngũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe.”
And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for thou shalt bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with thee.
24 Thuutha wa Musa kũrĩĩkia kwandĩka ciugo cia watho ũcio ibuku-inĩ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia,
And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,
25 nĩaheire Alawii arĩa maakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova watho ũyũ,
then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,
26 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai Ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa Watho mũrĩige mwena-inĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu. Rĩgũtũũra hau rĩrĩ ũira wa kũmũũkagĩrĩra.
Take the book of this law, and ye shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.
27 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa mũrĩ aremi na mũkoomia ngingo. Angĩkorwo mũkoretwo mũremeire Jehova ndĩ muoyo na ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ-rĩ, mũgaakĩrĩrĩria kũrema atĩa ndakua!
For I know thy provocation, and thy stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, ye have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall ye not also be so after my death?
28 Cookanĩrĩriai athuuri othe a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, na anene anyu othe mbere yakwa, nĩgeetha njarie ciugo ici makĩĩiguagĩra, na njĩte igũrũ na thĩ irute ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra.
Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.
29 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua inyuĩ nĩ mũgethũkia biũ, na mũgarũrũke mũtige gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ndĩmwathĩte. Matukũ marĩa magooka mwanangĩko nĩũkamũkora, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũgeeka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, mũtũme arakario nĩ kĩrĩa mũthondekete na moko manyu.”
For I know that after my death ye will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because ye will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.
30 Nake Musa agĩcookera ciugo ici cia rwĩmbo rũrũ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, akĩiguagwo nĩ kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli:
