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 Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art going in to possess, and shall clear away many nations from before thee—the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites, and the Canaanites and the Perizzites, and the Hivites and the Jebusites—seven nations greater in number and stronger than thou;
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 Yahweh thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them, thou shalt devote them to destruction, thou shalt not solemnise with them a covenant neither shalt thou shew them favour;
3 Mũtikanagũrane nacio. Mũtikanaheane airĩtu anyu kũrĩ aanake ao kana aanake anyu mahikie airĩtu ao,
neither shalt thou intermarry with them, —thy daughter, shalt thou not give unto his son, nor his daughter, shalt thou take for thy 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 aside thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, —so shall the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you, and he will destroy thee, speedily.
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.
Verily, thus, shall ye do unto them: Their altars, shall ye tear down, And their pillars, shall ye break in pieces, —And their sacred stems, shall ye hew down, And their carved images, shall ye burn up in the 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 a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God: of thee, hath Yahweh thy God, made choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground:
7 Jehova ndaamwendire na akĩmũthuura tondũ mwarĩ aingĩ gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ inyuĩ mwarĩ anini mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
not because ye were more in number than any of the peoples, did Yahweh become attached to you and make choice of you, —for, ye, were fewer than any of the 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 Yahweh loved you and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, did Yahweh bring you forth with a firm hand, —and redeem thee out of the house of servants, out of 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.
So then, thou must know that, Yahweh thy God, he, is God, —the faithful GOD, keeping his covenant and his lovingkindness with them that 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.
but requiting them who hate him unto his face to destroy them, —he will not be slack towards him that hateth him, unto his face, will he requite him.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩmenyererei mũrũmagĩrĩre maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho marĩa ngũmũhe ũmũthĩ.
So shalt thou keep the commandment and the statutes and the regulations, which I am commanding thee to-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.
Then shall it come to pass if ye will hearken unto these regulations, and keep and do them, then will Yahweh thy God keep with thee the covenant and the lovingkindness which he sware unto thy 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 will love thee, and bless thee and multiply thee, —and bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground thy corn and thy new wine and thine oil the young of thy kine and the ewes of thy flock, upon the soil which he swart unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
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.
Blessed shalt thou be beyond all the peoples, —there shall not be in thee a barren male or female, nor among thy cattle;
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 Yahweh, will turn away, from thee, all disease, —and as for all the sore sicknesses of Egypt which thou knowest, he will not lay them upon thee, but will put them upon all who hate thee;
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.
and thou shalt devour all the peoples whom, Yahweh thy God, is delivering up unto thee, thine eye shall not look with pity upon them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, for a snare, would it be unto thee.
17 Mwahota kwĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ ici irĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra. Tũngĩhota atĩa gũciingata?”
Although thou mightest say in thy heart: More in number, are these nations 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.
thou must not be afraid of them, —thou must, remember, what Yahweh thy God did, unto Pharaoh and unto 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 provings which thine own eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the firm hand and the stretched-out arm, wherewith Yahweh thy God brought thee forth, —so, will Yahweh thy God do unto all the peoples, before whom thou art 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 also, the hornet, will Yahweh thy God send among them, —until they are destroyed who are left remaining, and who are hiding themselves from thy face.
21 Mũtikamakio nĩcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, nĩ Mũrungu mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at their presence, —for Yahweh thy God in thy midst is a Go great and to be revered.
22 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciehere mbere yanyu hanini o hanini. Mũtigetĩkĩrio mũciniine o rĩmwe, nĩguo nyamũ cia gĩthaka itikamũingĩhĩre imũrigiicĩrie.
So will Yahweh thy God, clear away these nations from before thee little by little, —thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the wild beast of the field should multiply ever thee.
23 No Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakaneana ndũrĩrĩ icio kũrĩ inyuĩ, atũme igĩe na kĩrigiicano kĩnene o nginya iniinwo.
But Yahweh thy God will deliver them up before thee, —and discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they are 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.
and will deliver their kings into thy hand and thou shalt destroy their name, from under the heavens, —not a man shall stand before thee, until thou hast 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.
The carved images of their gods, shalt thou consume with fire, —thou shalt not covet the silver and gold upon them to take unto thee, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for the abomination of Yahweh thy God, it is;
26 Ndũkanarehe kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu nyũmba-inĩ yaku, nĩgeetha ndũkaamũrwo hamwe na kĩndũ kĩu mũniinwo. Kĩrege biũ na ũgĩthũũre, nĩgũkorwo nĩgĩtuĩtwo gĩa kũniinwo.
and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and so become devoted to destruction, like it, thou shalt, abhor, it, and thou shalt, loathe it, because a thing devoted to destruction, it is.
