Gũcookerithia 1
1 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Musa aarĩirie andũ a Isiraeli othe kũu werũ-inĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na kũu nĩkuo Araba, kũngʼethera Sufi, gatagatĩ ka Parani na Tofeli, na Labani, na Hazerothu na Dizahabu.
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (Kuuma Horebu gũthiĩ Kadeshi-Barinea, kugerera njĩra ya kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru, nĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ikũmi na ũmwe.)
It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
3 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩna kuuma andũ a Isiraeli moima bũrũri wa Misiri mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi na ũmwe-rĩ, Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli akĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamwathĩte ameere.
It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in commandment to them;
4 Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire thuutha wake gũkorwo atooretie Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, na ningĩ nĩatooretie Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, ũrĩa wathamakaga Ashitarothu arĩ kũu Edirei.
after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.
5 Musa arĩ kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi, nĩambĩrĩirie gũtaarĩria ũhoro wa watho ũyũ, akiuga atĩrĩ:
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 Jehova Ngai witũ aatwĩrire tũrĩ kũu Horebu atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩrĩa mũikarĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩrĩiganĩte.
"Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:
7 Thariai kambĩ mũthiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori; mũthiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe iriganĩtie cia Araba, na irĩma-inĩ, na magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na Negevu o na gũtwarana na hũgũrũrũ cia iria, gũthiĩ o nginya bũrũri wa Akaanani, o na kũu Lebanoni, o nginya rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati.
turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Negev, and by the sea coast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Perath.
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩndĩmũheete bũrũri ũyũ. Thiĩi kuo mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio Jehova eehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa akiuga nĩakaũhe maithe manyu Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, o na aũhe njiaro ciao iria igooka thuutha wao.”
Look, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which I swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them."
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndaamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa kũmũrora nĩ mũritũ mũno, ndingĩũhota ndĩ o nyiki.
I spoke to you at that time, saying, "I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũingĩhĩtie mũno nginya ũmũthĩ mũrĩ aingĩ o ta njata cia igũrũ.
Jehovah your God has multiplied you, and look, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11 Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, aromũingĩhia maita ngiri, na amũrathime o ta ũrĩa eeranĩire!
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you.
12 No rĩrĩ, ingĩhota atĩa gũkuua mathĩĩna manyu, na mĩrigo yanyu, o na maciira manyu ndĩ o nyiki?
How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Thuurai andũ oogĩ, na amenyi maũndũ, o na atĩĩku kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yanyu ndĩmatue anene mamũrorage.”
Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."
14 Inyuĩ mwanjookeirie atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio watua nĩ ũgwĩka nĩ mwega.”
You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good to do."
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya atongoria a mĩhĩrĩga yanyu, acio maarĩ oogĩ na atĩĩku, ngĩmatua a kũmwathaga, marĩ atongoria a ikundi cia andũ ngiri ngiri, na cia igana igana, na cia mĩrongo ĩtano na cia ikũmi, matuĩke anene a mĩhĩrĩga.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
16 Na nĩndathire atuithania ciira anyu ihinda-inĩ rĩu ngĩmeera atĩrĩ: Thikagĩrĩriai maciira gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ariũ a ithe wanyu, na mũmatuithanagie na kĩhooto, kana nĩ ciira ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka Mũisiraeli na Mũisiraeli ũngĩ, kana Mũisiraeli na mũndũ wa kũngĩ.
I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
17 Mũtikanathutũkanie mũgĩtua ciira; thikagĩrĩriai andũ arĩa anene na arĩa anini o ũndũ ũmwe. Mũtikanetigĩre mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo ũtuanĩri ciira nĩ wa Ngai. Ndehagĩrai ciira ũrĩa wothe wamũritũhĩra, na nĩndĩũthikagĩrĩria.
You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it."
18 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra maũndũ mothe marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.
I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
19 Ningĩ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathire-rĩ, nĩtwoimire Horebu, tũgĩthiĩ twerekeire bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori tũtuĩkanĩirie werũ-inĩ ũcio mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo, o ũcio mweyoneire, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Kadeshi-Barinea.
We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkinyĩte bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamori, ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aratũhe.
I said to you, "You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God gives to us.
21 Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũcio. Ambatai mũthiĩ mũwĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrire. Mũtikanetigĩre; kana mukue ngoro.”
Look, Jehovah your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not be afraid, neither be dismayed."
22 Ningĩ inyuĩ, inyuothe mũgĩũka harĩ niĩ mũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke tũtũme andũ mathiĩ mbere iitũ magatũthigaanĩre bũrũri ũcio, matũcookerie ũhoro ũkoniĩ njĩra ĩrĩa twagĩrĩirwo kũgerera na matũũra marĩa tũgũkora.”
You came near to me everyone of you, and said, "Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come."
23 Rĩciiria rĩu ngĩona rĩ-rĩega; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthuura andũ ikũmi na eerĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, o mũhĩrĩga hakiuma mũndũ ũmwe.
The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
24 Makiumagara makĩambata bũrũri ũcio, wa irĩma, magĩkinya Gĩtuamba kĩa Eshikoli na magĩtuĩria ũhoro wakĩo.
and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 Nĩmakuire matunda mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio, magĩtũrehere, na magĩtũcookeria ũhoro atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ araatũhe nĩ mwega.”
They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, "It is a good land which Jehovah our God gives to us."
26 No inyuĩ mũtiendaga kwambata mũthiĩ kuo; nĩ mwaremeire rĩathani rĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu.
Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:
27 Mũkĩnugunĩka mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hema cianyu, mũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩatũthũire; nĩkĩo aatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri oke atũneane moko-inĩ ma Aamori nĩguo matũniine.
and you murmured in your tents, and said, "Because Jehovah hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Tũngĩgĩthiĩ na kũ? Ariũ a ithe witũ nĩmatũmĩte tũũrwo nĩ hinya tondũ maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ acio marĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra, na nĩ araihu kũrĩ ithuĩ; matũũra mao nĩ manene mũno, na mairigĩirwo na thingo ikinyĩte o matu-inĩ. O na nĩtũronire ariũ a Anaki kuo.’”
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'"
29 Niĩ na niĩ ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamake, na mũtikametigĩre.
Then I said to you, "Do not dread, neither be afraid of them.
30 Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũrathiĩ amũtongoretie, nĩekũmũrũĩrĩra, o ta ũrĩa aamũrũĩrĩire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu,
Jehovah your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 na kũu werũ-inĩ kũu nĩmuonire Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa aamũtwaraga amũkuuĩte, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ athiiaga akuuĩte mũriũ, akĩmũkuua kũrĩa guothe mwagereire nginya mũgĩkinya gũkũ.”
and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Jehovah your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place."
32 No o na muonete ũguo-rĩ, mũtiigana kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai wanyu,
Yet in this thing you did not believe Jehovah your God,
33 ũrĩa wathiiaga amũtongoretie mũrĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwanyu arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, na arĩ itu-inĩ mũthenya, na akamũcaragĩria kũrĩa mũngĩamba hema o na akamuonagia njĩra ĩrĩa mũkũgera.
who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Rĩrĩa Jehova aaiguire ũrĩa mwoigire, akĩrakara na akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ:
Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa rũciaro rũrũ rwaganu ũkoona bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa ndehĩtire atĩ nĩngaũhe maithe manyu ma tene,
"Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 tiga o Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune. Nĩakawona, na nĩngamũhe bũrũri ũcio aakinyĩte na magũrũ make, marĩ na njiaro ciake, tondũ nĩarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro yake kũna.”
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Jehovah."
37 O na niĩ Jehova nĩandakarĩire akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “O nawe ndũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio.
Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, "You also shall not go in there:
38 No ndungata yaku, Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni nĩakaũtoonya. Mũmagĩrĩrie, tondũ nĩwe ũgaatongoria Isiraeli mathiĩ makaũgae.
Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, because he will cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Na rĩrĩ, andũ anyu arĩa anini arĩa mwoigire atĩ nĩmagatahwo, na ciana cianyu o icio itakũũranĩte wega na ũũru, nĩigatoonya bũrũri ũcio. Nĩngaũheana kũrĩ o, nao megwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.
Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 No inyuĩ-rĩ, hũndũkai, mumagare mũthiĩ na njĩra ya werũ-inĩ mũrorete Iria Itune.”
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
41 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũkĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũhĩtĩirie Jehova. Nĩtũkwambata tũkarũe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ aatwathĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ inyuothe o mũndũ o mũndũ akĩĩoha indo ciake cia mbaara, mwĩciirĩtie atĩ nĩ ũndũ mũhũthũ kwambata mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
Then you answered and said to me, "We have sinned against Jehovah our God, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us." Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
42 No Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Meere ũũ, ‘Tigai kwambata mũkarũe, tondũ ndigũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũgũtoorio nĩ thũ cianyu.’”
Jehovah said to me, "Tell them, 'Do not go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.'"
43 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ ngĩmwĩra, no mũtiigana kũnjigua. Nĩmwaremeire watho wa Jehova, na nĩ ũndũ wa rũnano rwanyu mũkĩambata mũgĩthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
So I spoke to you, and you did not listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
44 Nao Aamori arĩa maatũũraga kũu irĩma-inĩ makĩmũtharĩkĩra, makĩmũingata ta mĩrumbĩ ya njũkĩ, nao makĩmũhũũra kuuma Seiru o nginya Horoma.
The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Mwacookire mũgĩũka mũkĩrĩraga mbere ya Jehova, no ndaigana kũrũmbũiya kĩrĩro kĩanyu, na akĩrega kũmũthikĩrĩria.
You returned and wept before Jehovah; but Jehovah did not listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.
46 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgĩikara kũu Kadeshi matukũ maingĩ, ihinda rĩu rĩothe mwaikarire kuo.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
