1 Nake Musa akiumagara agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria andũ othe a Isiraeli na ciugo ici akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 “Rĩu ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na ndingĩhota kũmũtongoria rĩngĩ. Jehova nĩanjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.’
He said to them, “I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. The LORD has said to me, ‘You shall 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 your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, 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.
The LORD will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.
5 Jehova nĩakamaneana kũrĩ inyuĩ, na inyuĩ no nginya mũkaameeka ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwathĩte.
The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded 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 strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
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.
Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
8 Jehova mwene nĩegũthiĩ mbere yaku na nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na we; ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaagũtiga kana agũtirike. Ndũkanetigĩre, o na kana ũkue ngoro.”
The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
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.
Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all the elders 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,
Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,
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 has come to appear before the LORD your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
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.
Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear the LORD your God, and observe 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 that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akiumĩra Hema-inĩ ĩyo arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ gĩa itu, narĩo itu rĩu rĩkĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema.
The LORD appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be amongst them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have 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?’
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not amongst us?’
18 Na hatarĩ nganja nĩngamahitha ũthiũ wakwa mũthenya ũcio, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao wothe wa gũcookerera ngai ingĩ.
I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
19 “No rĩrĩ, wĩyandĩkĩre rwĩmbo rũrũ, na ũrũrute andũ a Isiraeli, na ũreke marũine, nĩguo rũtuĩke ũira wakwa wa kũmookĩrĩra.
“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
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 when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise 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.”
It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩandĩka rwĩmbo rũu o mũthenya ũcio, na akĩrũruta andũ a Isiraeli.
So Moses wrote this song the same 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.”
He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
24 Thuutha wa Musa kũrĩĩkia kwandĩka ciugo cia watho ũcio ibuku-inĩ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia,
When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 nĩaheire Alawii arĩa maakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova watho ũyũ,
Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, 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 this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the LORD your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.
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 your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD. How much more 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.
Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call 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 you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
30 Nake Musa agĩcookera ciugo ici cia rwĩmbo rũrũ kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, akĩiguagwo nĩ kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli:
Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
