Gũcookerithia 8
1 Maathani maya mothe ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ ma kũrũmĩrĩra mamenyagĩrĩrei nĩgeetha mũtũũre, na mũingĩhe, na mũtoonye mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova erĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
“All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers.
2 Ririkanai ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aamũtongoririe njĩra-inĩ yothe kũu werũ-inĩ mĩaka ĩyo mĩrongo ĩna, akĩenda mwĩnyiihie na amũgerie nĩguo amenye maũndũ marĩa maarĩ ngoro-inĩ cianyu, kana hihi nĩmũkamenyagĩrĩra maathani make kana aca.
And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
3 Nĩatũmire mwĩnyiihie, na akĩreka mũhũte agĩcooka akĩmũhũũnia na mana, marĩa mũtaamenyete kana makamenywo nĩ maithe manyu, nĩgeetha amũrute atĩ ti irio ciki ingĩtũũria mũndũ muoyo, no nĩ kiugo o gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩngiuma kanua ka Jehova.
He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
4 Nguo cianyu itiigana gũtuĩka kana magũrũ manyu makĩimba ihinda-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
5 Kĩmenyei na ngoro cianyu atĩ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahũũraga mũriũ akĩmũrũnga, ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu amũhũũraga.
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
6 Menyagĩrĩrai maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, mũthiage na njĩra ciake na mũmwĩtigagĩre.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
7 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu aramũtwara bũrũri mwega mũno, bũrũri ũrĩ tũrũũĩ, na ũrĩ tũria twa maaĩ, na ithima cia maaĩ megũtherera kũu cianda-inĩ o na irĩma-inĩ;
For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
8 bũrũri ũrĩ na ngano na cairi, na ũrĩ na mĩthabibũ na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, ningĩ nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ na maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ na ũũkĩ;
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
9 nĩ bũrũri ũtakanyiihia irio, na inyuĩ mũtirĩ kĩndũ mũkaaga, bũrũri ũrĩa mahiga maguo arĩ igera, na no mwenje icango irĩma-inĩ ciaguo.
In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
10 Rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa mũhũũne, mũkaagooca Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri ũcio mwega amũheete.
So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
11 Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, mwage kũmenyerera maathani make na mawatho make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
12 Kwaga ũguo, mwarĩa mwahũũna, na mwaka nyũmba njega na mũcitũũre,
Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
13 na rĩrĩa ndũũru cianyu cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri ikaaneneha, nacio betha na thahabu ciongerereke, na indo ciothe iria mũrĩ nacio ikorwo ciongererekete mũno-rĩ,
and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
14 hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro cianyu nĩikaagĩa na mwĩtĩĩo, na nĩmũkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, o we ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, akĩmũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
15 Nĩamũtongoririe mũgĩtũĩkanĩria werũ ũcio mũnene na wa kũmakania, bũrũri ũcio mũngʼaru ũtarĩ maaĩ, na warĩ na nyoka njũru, o na tũngʼaurũ. Nĩamũrutĩire maaĩ ihiga-inĩ rĩa nyaigĩ.
and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
16 Nĩamũheire mana mũrĩĩre kũu werũ-inĩ, marĩa maithe manyu mataamenyete ũhoro wamo, nĩguo atũme mwĩnyiihie, na akĩmũgeria nĩgeetha thuutha-inĩ maũndũ manyu makaagĩrĩra.
and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
17 Mwahota gũkeĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũhoti witũ na hinya wa moko maitũ nĩcio ituoneire ũtonga ũyũ.”
Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
18 No rĩrĩ, ririkanagai Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũmũheaga ũhoti wa kwĩgĩĩra na ũtonga, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agakĩhingia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa, o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
19 Mũngĩkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, mũcihooe na mũciinamĩrĩre, ngũmumbũrĩra mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ atĩ ti-itherũ no mũkaaniinwo.
But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.
20 Mũkaaniinwo o ta ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinire agĩcieheria mbere yanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu.
Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
