Gũcookerithia 9
1 Ta thikĩrĩria wee Isiraeli. Rĩu ũrorete kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ũthiĩ ũgatunye ndũrĩrĩ nene na irĩ hinya gũgũkĩra, bũrũri ũrĩ na matũũra manene mũno mathiũrũrũkĩirio na thingo ikinyĩte o igũrũ.
Hear, O Israel: You are to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 Andũ akuo marĩ hinya na nĩ araihu, nĩo Aanaki! Nĩũũĩ ũhoro wao, na nĩũiguĩte gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Nũũ ũngĩhota gwĩtiiria andũ a Anaki?”
A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 No menya wega ũmũthĩ atĩ Jehova Ngai waku nĩwe ũkũringa athiĩ mbere yaku ahaana ta mwaki wa kũniinana. Nĩakamaniina; amatoorie mbere yaku. Nawe nĩũkamarutũrũra ũmaniine biũ o narua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aakwĩrĩire.
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he which goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall you drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has said unto you.
4 Jehova Ngai waku aarĩkia kũmaingata mehere mbere yaku-rĩ, ndũkaneĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Jehova andehete gũkũ ndĩĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa.” Aca, ti ũguo, no nĩ tondũ wa waganu wa ndũrĩrĩ icio, nĩkĩo Jehova egũciingata ciehere mbere yaku.
Speak not you in your heart, after that the LORD your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you.
5 Ti ũthingu waku o na kana ũrũngĩrĩru waku ũgũtũma ũkegwatĩre bũrũri wacio; no nĩ tondũ wa waganu wa ndũrĩrĩ icio-rĩ, Jehova Ngai waku nĩekũmarutũrũra mehere mbere yaku nĩguo ahingie ũrĩa eehĩtire kũrĩ maithe maku, nĩo Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu.
Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kĩmenye atĩ ti ũthingu waku ũtũmĩte Jehova Ngai waku akũhe bũrũri ũcio mwega ũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke waku, nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo.
Understand therefore, that the LORD your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stubborn people.
7 Ririkanaga na ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa warakaririe Jehova Ngai waku kũu werũ-inĩ. Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa woimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩrĩa mwakinyire gũkũ, mũkoretwo mũkĩremera Jehova.
Remember, and forget not, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you did depart out of the land of Egypt, until all of you came unto this place, all of you have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Mũrĩ kũu Horebu nĩmwatũmire marakara ma Jehova maarahũke akĩrakara nginya akĩenda kũmũniina.
Also in Horeb all of you provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 Rĩrĩa ndaambatire kĩrĩma-inĩ nganengerwo ihengere cia mahiga, ihengere iria ciandĩkĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, nĩndaikarire kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndiarĩire irio kana ngĩnyua maaĩ.
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 Jehova nĩanengerire ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga ciandĩkĩtwo na kĩara kĩa Ngai. Ciandĩkĩtwo maathani mothe marĩa Jehova aamwarĩirie kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki, mũthenya ũrĩa mwagomanĩte.
And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ macio mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, maathirire-rĩ, Jehova nĩanengerire ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia mahiga, ihengere icio cia kĩrĩkanĩro.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 Jehova agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka narua uume gũkũ nĩ ũndũ andũ aku arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmethũkĩtie. Nĩmagarũrũkĩte o na ihenya magatiganĩria maathani marĩa ndamaathire na nĩmethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio.”
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get you down quickly from behind; for your people which you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya nĩndĩmoonete, ngoona atĩ nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo mũno!
Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stubborn people:
14 Ndekereria, nĩguo ndĩmaniine na tharie rĩĩtwa rĩao gũkũ thĩ mũhuro wa riũa. Thuutha wa ũguo njooke ngũtue rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ hinya na rũrĩ na andũ aingĩ kũmakĩra.”
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩhũndũka ngĩikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma igũrũ o gĩkĩrĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki. Nacio ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia kĩrĩkanĩro ciarĩ moko-inĩ makwa.
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Rĩrĩa ndaacũthĩrĩirie, nĩndonire atĩ nĩmwehĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu; nĩ mwethondekeire mũhianano wa gũtwekio ũhaana ta njaũ. Nĩmwagarũrũkĩte o narua mũgatiga kũrũmĩrĩra njĩra ĩrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte mũrũmagĩrĩre.
And I looked, and, behold, all of you had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: all of you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩnyiita ihengere icio igĩrĩ ngĩcirekania kuuma moko-inĩ makwa, nacio ikĩenyũkanga icunjĩ mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu.
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 Ningĩ ngĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Jehova matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndiigana kũrĩa irio kana ngĩnyua maaĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa mothe mwekĩte, mũgeeka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, mũgĩtũma arakare.
And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which all of you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 Nĩndetigagĩra marakara na mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũrakarĩire o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire. No Jehova nĩathikĩrĩirie o rĩngĩ.
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 Nake Jehova nĩarakarĩire Harũni o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire, no ihinda rĩu, nĩndahooeire Harũni o nake.
And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩoya kĩndũ kĩu kĩanyu kĩa wĩhia, nakĩo nĩkĩo njaũ ĩyo mwathondekete, na ngĩmĩcina na mwaki. Ngĩcooka ngĩmĩthethera ngĩmĩthĩa ĩgĩtuĩka mũtutu mũhinyu ta rũkũngũ, naruo rũkũngũ rũu ngĩrũikia karũũĩ gaathereraga koimĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ.
And I took your sin, the calf which all of you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 O na ningĩ nĩmwarakaririe Jehova mũrĩ kũu Tabera, na Masa, na Kibirothu-Hataava.
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, all of you provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Na rĩrĩa Jehova aamũtũmire kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea, aamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũthiĩ mũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩmũheete.” No nĩ mwaremeire watho wa Jehova Ngai wanyu. Mũtiigana kũmwĩhoka kana kũmwathĩkĩra.
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then all of you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and all of you believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Kuuma rĩrĩa ndamũmenyire, mũtũũraga mũremeire Jehova.
All of you have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Nĩndegũithirie thĩ mbere ya Jehova matukũ macio mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, tondũ Jehova nĩoigĩte atĩ nĩekũmũniina.
Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 Ngĩhooya Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani Jehova, tiga kũniina andũ aya aku, o aya igai rĩaku kĩũmbe arĩa wakũũrire na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, ũkĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwaku kwa hinya.
I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Ririkana ndungata ciaku Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu. Tiga kũrora ũmũ wa ngoro cia andũ aya, na waganu wao, o na mehia mao.
Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Kwaga ũguo, bũrũri ũrĩa wee watũrutire ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ Jehova ndangĩahotire kũmakinyia bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire, na nĩ tondũ nĩamamenete-rĩ, nĩkĩo aamatwarire werũ-inĩ amooragĩre kuo.’
Lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 No andũ aya nĩ aku, o igai rĩaku kĩumbe, arĩa warutire kũu na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, na guoko gwaku gũtambũrũkĩtio.”
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.
