< Gũcookerithia 7 >
1 Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaagũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩa ũratoonya ũkawĩgwatĩre na aingate ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ ikweherere, nacio nĩ Ahiti, na Agirigashi, na Aamori, na Akaanani, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi, ndũrĩrĩ mũgwanja nene na irĩ hinya gũgũkĩra-rĩ,
When YHWH your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hethite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;
2 na rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaacineana kũrĩ we nawe ũkorwo ũcitooretie, hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya ũgaciniina biũ. Ndũkanagĩe na kĩrĩkanĩro nacio na ndũkanaciiguĩre tha.
and when YHWH your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;
3 Mũtikanagũrane nacio. Mũtikanaheane airĩtu anyu kũrĩ aanake ao kana aanake anyu mahikie airĩtu ao,
neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
4 nĩgũkorwo nĩmakagarũra aanake anyu matige gũcooka kũnũmĩrĩra, na matuĩke a gũtungatĩra ngai ingĩ, namo marakara ma Jehova nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra, mamũcine na mamũniine o narua.
For he will turn away your son from following me, that he may serve other gods; so the anger of YHWH would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
5 Ũũ nĩguo mũkaameeka: Mũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũharaganie mahiga ma igongona ciao, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera, o na mũcine mĩhianano yao na mwaki.
But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.
6 Nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ mũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rwamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wanyu. Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũthurire kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ mũtuĩke rũrĩrĩ rwake, rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ bata mũno harĩ we.
For you are a holy people to YHWH your God: YHWH your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
7 Jehova ndaamwendire na akĩmũthuura tondũ mwarĩ aingĩ gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ inyuĩ mwarĩ anini mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
YHWH did not set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:
8 No nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova kũmwenda na kũmenyerera mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtĩire maithe manyu ma tene, nĩkĩo aamũrutire na guoko gwake kũrĩ hinya, na akĩmũkũũra akĩmũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo, kuuma hinya-inĩ wa Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri.
but because YHWH loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has YHWH brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩmenyei atĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe Ngai; o we Mũrungu ũrĩa mwĩhokeku, ũmenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo kũrĩ njiaro ngiri cia andũ arĩa mamwendete, na makamenyerera maathani make.
Know therefore that YHWH your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
10 No rĩrĩ, arĩa mamũthũire nĩakerĩhĩria na njĩra ya kũmaniina biũ makĩonaga; ndakagĩa thieya kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ andũ arĩa mamũthũire, makĩonaga.
and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩmenyererei mũrũmagĩrĩre maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.
12 Mũngĩrũmbũiya mawatho macio na mũmamenyerere mũmarũmĩrĩre, nake Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩarĩigaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo na inyuĩ, o ta ũrĩa eehĩtire mbere ya maithe manyu.
It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that YHWH your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:
13 Nĩarĩmwendaga na amũrathimage na atũmage mũingĩhage. Nĩarĩrathimaga maciaro ma nda cianyu, na maciaro ma mĩgũnda yanyu, marĩ ma ngano, na ma ndibei ya mũhihano, na ma maguta, na ma njaũ cia ndũũru cianyu na ma tũtũrũme twa ndũũru cia ngʼondu cianyu kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ maithe manyu atĩ nĩakamũhe.
and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
14 Inyuĩ nĩmũkarathimwo gũkĩra rũrĩrĩ rũngĩ o ruothe; gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja wanyu ũkaaga mwana, o na kana ũhiũ wanyu o wothe wage gũciara.
You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
15 Jehova nĩakamũgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ mĩrimũ yothe. Ndakamũrehithĩria mĩrimũ mĩũru ta ĩrĩa muoĩ rĩrĩa mwarĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no rĩrĩ, nĩakamĩrehithĩria andũ arĩa othe mamũthũire.
And YHWH will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen and which you have known, will he put on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.
16 No nginya mũkaaniina ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria Jehova akaarekereria acineane kũrĩ inyuĩ; mũtikanaciguĩre tha kana mũtungatĩre ngai ciacio, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũcio no ũtuĩke mũtego kũrĩ inyuĩ.
You shall consume all the peoples whom YHWH your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
17 Mwahota kwĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ ici irĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra. Tũngĩhota atĩa gũciingata?”
If you shall say in your heart, "These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?"
18 No mũtikanaciĩtigĩre; ririkanagai wega ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu eekire Firaũni, o na ũrĩa eekire bũrũri wa Misiri guothe.
you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what YHWH your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
19 Nĩmweyoneire na maitho manyu maũndũ manene marĩa andũ acio maageririo namo, o na ciama iria ciaringirwo, na maũndũ ma kũgegania marĩa meekirwo; ningĩ mũririkane ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko kwa hinya na gũtambũrũkĩtio. Ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu ageeka ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe mũretigĩra rĩu.
the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which YHWH your God brought you out: so shall YHWH your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 O na ningĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩagatũma magi ma mboora gatagatĩ ga cio, nginya o na matigari ma cio marĩa makaamwĩhitha makorwo mathirĩte.
Moreover YHWH your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish.
21 Mũtikamakio nĩcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, nĩ Mũrungu mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
You shall not be scared of them; for YHWH your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
22 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciehere mbere yanyu hanini o hanini. Mũtigetĩkĩrio mũciniine o rĩmwe, nĩguo nyamũ cia gĩthaka itikamũingĩhĩre imũrigiicĩrie.
YHWH your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
23 No Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakaneana ndũrĩrĩ icio kũrĩ inyuĩ, atũme igĩe na kĩrigiicano kĩnene o nginya iniinwo.
But YHWH your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.
24 Athamaki ao nĩakamaneana moko-inĩ manyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkaniina marĩĩtwa mao biũ mehere gũkũ thĩ mũhuro wa riũa. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria; nĩ mũkaamaniina.
He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
25 Mĩhiano ya ngai ciao nĩmũkamĩcina na mwaki. Mũtikanacumĩkĩre betha na thahabu iria ciĩkĩrĩtwo igũrũ rĩayo, kana mũmĩoe ĩtuĩke yanyu, mũtikaguucĩrĩrio nĩyo mũheeneke, nĩgũkorwo nĩĩrĩ magigi kũrĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to YHWH your God.
26 Ndũkanarehe kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu nyũmba-inĩ yaku, nĩgeetha ndũkaamũrwo hamwe na kĩndũ kĩu mũniinwo. Kĩrege biũ na ũgĩthũũre, nĩgũkorwo nĩgĩtuĩtwo gĩa kũniinwo.
You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
