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, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
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 sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons 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.
Know therefore this day, that Jehovah your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah has spoken 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.
Do not say in your heart, after Jehovah your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land"; because Jehovah drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
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 in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, 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.
Know therefore, that Jehovah your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; 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, do not forget, how you provoked Jehovah your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Jehovah.
8 Mũrĩ kũu Horebu nĩmwatũmire marakara ma Jehova maarahũke akĩrakara nginya akĩenda kũmũniina.
Also in Horeb you provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah 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 was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank 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.
Jehovah delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain 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.
It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets 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.”
Jehovah said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have 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 Jehovah spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, 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.”
let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; 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 mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets 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.
I looked, and look, you had sinned against Jehovah your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩnyiita ihengere icio igĩrĩ ngĩcirekania kuuma moko-inĩ makwa, nacio ikĩenyũkanga icunjĩ mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu.
I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke 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.
I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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, with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah listened to me that time also.
20 Nake Jehova nĩarakarĩire Harũni o kũigana ũndũ angĩamũniinire, no ihinda rĩu, nĩndahooeire Harũni o nake.
Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at 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.
I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 O na ningĩ nĩmwarakaririe Jehova mũrĩ kũu Tabera, na Masa, na Kibirothu-Hataava.
At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Jehovah 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.
When Jehovah sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.
24 Kuuma rĩrĩa ndamũmenyire, mũtũũraga mũremeire Jehova.
You have been rebellious against Jehovah 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.
So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah 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 to God, and said, "Lord Jehovah, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought 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; do not look to 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 you brought us out from say, 'Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out 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.”
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."
