< 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, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for 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 thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no.
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 thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
4 Nguo cianyu itiigana gũtuĩka kana magũrũ manyu makĩimba ihinda-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
Thy raiment, with which thou wast covered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the fortieth year,
5 Kĩmenyei na ngoro cianyu atĩ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahũũraga mũriũ akĩmũrũnga, ũguo noguo Jehova Ngai wanyu amũhũũraga.
That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.
6 Menyagĩrĩrai maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, mũthiage na njĩra ciake na mũmwĩtigagĩre.
That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy 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 thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out:
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 wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: 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.
Where without any want thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: where the stones are iron, and out of its hills are dug mines of brass:
10 Rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa mũhũũne, mũkaagooca Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri ũcio mwega amũheete.
That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee.
11 Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, mwage kũmenyerera maathani make na mawatho make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndĩramũhe ũmũthĩ.
Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day:
12 Kwaga ũguo, mwarĩa mwahũũna, na mwaka nyũmba njega na mũcitũũre,
Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt 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 shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, and plenty of gold and of silver, and of 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.
Thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
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 was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth 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 fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee,
17 Mwahota gũkeĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũhoti witũ na hinya wa moko maitũ nĩcio ituoneire ũtonga ũyũ.”
Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved 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 thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfill his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.
19 Mũngĩkariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, mũcihooe na mũciinamĩrĩre, ngũmumbũrĩra mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ atĩ ti-itherũ no mũkaaniinwo.
But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish.
20 Mũkaaniinwo o ta ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinire agĩcieheria mbere yanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu.
As the nations, which the Lord destroyed at thy entrance, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
