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 go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled 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 many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?
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.
And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to 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 in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
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, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to 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.
And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked 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, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient toward the Lord.
8 Mũrĩ kũu Horebu nĩmwatũmire marakara ma Jehova maarahũke akĩrakara nginya akĩenda kũmũniina.
Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy 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 went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no 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 gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain 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 after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, 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 to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
13 Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya nĩndĩmoonete, ngoona atĩ nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo mũno!
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked 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.”
And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩhũndũka ngĩikũrũka kuuma kĩrĩma igũrũ o gĩkĩrĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki. Nacio ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia kĩrĩkanĩro ciarĩ moko-inĩ makwa.
And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [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 when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩnyiita ihengere icio igĩrĩ ngĩcirekania kuuma moko-inĩ makwa, nacio ikĩenyũkanga icunjĩ mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu.
then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.
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 made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.
19 Nĩndetigagĩra marakara na mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũrakarĩire o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire. No Jehova nĩathikĩrĩirie o rĩngĩ.
And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.
20 Nake Jehova nĩarakarĩire Harũni o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire, no ihinda rĩu, nĩndahooeire Harũni o nake.
And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that 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 your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 O na ningĩ nĩmwarakaririe Jehova mũrĩ kũu Tabera, na Masa, na Kibirothu-Hataava.
Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.
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.
And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.
24 Kuuma rĩrĩa ndamũmenyire, mũtũũraga mũremeire Jehova.
You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.
25 Nĩndegũithirie thĩ mbere ya Jehova matukũ macio mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, tondũ Jehova nĩoigĩte atĩ nĩekũmũniina.
And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly 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.
And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.
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 Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.
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 inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill 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.”
And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.
