Thaama 34
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Icũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere, na nĩngũciandĩka ciugo iria ciaandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ iria cia mbere, iria woragire.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Wĩhaarĩrie rũciinĩ, ũcooke wambate kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Ũrũgame mbere yakwa hau kĩrĩma igũrũ.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkwambatania hamwe nawe kana onekane handũ o hothe kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ; o na gũtikagĩe ndũũru cia mbũri kana cia ngʼombe ingĩrĩithio kũu mbere ya kĩrĩma.”
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩicũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere na akĩroka kwambata kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai rũciinĩ tene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; agĩthiĩ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ na moko.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ itu-inĩ, akĩrũgama hau harĩ we, na akĩanĩrĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake, Jehova.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 Agĩkĩhĩtũkĩra mbere ya Musa akĩanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, Jehova, Ngai ũrĩa mũcaayanĩri na mũtugi, ũtahiũhaga kũrakara, ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendani na wĩhokeku,
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 ũtũũragia wendani kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, na akohanagĩra waganu, na ũremi, o na mehia. No rĩrĩ, ndaagaga kũherithia arĩa mehĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana na ciana ciacio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.”
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Musa agĩkĩinamĩrĩra thĩ o rĩmwe, akĩhooya.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku, ndagũthaitha Mwathani twarana na ithuĩ. O na gũtuĩka aya nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo-rĩ, tuohere waganu witũ o na mehia maitũ, na ũtũme tũtuĩke igai rĩaku.”
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Nĩndĩrĩĩkaga morirũ matarĩ mekwo rũrĩrĩ-inĩ o na rũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe mbere ya andũ aya aku othe. Andũ arĩa mũtũũranagia nao nĩmakeyonera ũrĩa niĩ, Jehova, ngeeka ũndũ wa kũmakania nĩ ũndũ waku.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Athĩkĩra ũrĩa ngũgwatha ũmũthĩ. Nĩngarutũrũra Aamori, na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi mbere yaku makweherere.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Wĩmenyerere ndũkagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio ũrathiĩ, matigatuĩke mũtego harĩwe.
13 Nĩmũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũthethere mahiga mao maamũre, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 Mũtikanahooe ngai ĩngĩ o na ĩrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Mũigua Ũiru, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 “Mwĩmenyererei mũtikagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio; nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa maahũũra ũmaraya na ngai ciao na magacirutĩra iruta, nĩmarĩmwĩtaga, na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩrĩĩaga indo cia magongona macio mao.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 Na rĩrĩa mũngĩthuura airĩtu amwe ao matuĩke atumia a aanake anyu, nao airĩtu acio mahũũre ũmaraya na ngai ciao, nĩmakonereria ariũ anyu gwĩka ũguo.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 “Ndũkanathondeke mĩhianano ya gũtwekio.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 “Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Handũ-inĩ ha mĩthenya mũgwanja, rĩĩagai mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, o ta ũrĩa ndaamwathire. Ĩkagai ũndũ ũyũ ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya mweri-inĩ wa Abibu, nĩgũkorwo nĩguo mweri ũrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 “Irigithathi rĩa nda o yothe nĩ rĩakwa, hamwe na marigithathi mothe ma njamba ma mahiũ manyu, marĩ ma kuuma ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe kana cia mbũri.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 Irigithathi rĩa ndigiri ũrĩrĩkũũraga na gatũrũme, no ũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra, riune ngingo. Nao ariũ aku a marigithathi ũmakũũrage. “Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩũkaga mbere yakwa moko matheri.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 “Rutaga wĩra mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja ũhurũkage; o na hĩndĩ ya icimba na ya magetha no nginya ũhurũke.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 “Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Ciumia, na maciaro ma mbere ma magetha ma ngano, na Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Gũcookereria irio makũmbĩ-inĩ mũthia-inĩ wa mwaka.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Arũme anyu othe no nginya mokage mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, maita matatũ o mwaka.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
24 Nĩngarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ imweherere, na nĩnganenehia mĩhaka ya bũrũri wanyu na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacumĩkĩra bũrũri wanyu rĩrĩa mũrĩkoragwo mũkĩambata maita matatũ o mwaka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 “Ndũkanandutĩre thakame ya igongona ĩtukanĩte na kĩndũ gĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, na mũtikanareke kĩndũ kĩa igongona rĩa Bathaka kĩraare nginya rũciinĩ.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 “Rehagai maciaro ma mbere marĩa mega mũno ma mĩgũnda yanyu, mũmarehage nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu. “Mũtikanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.”
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ciugo ici, nĩgũkorwo kũringana na ciugo ici, nĩndagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe o na Isiraeli.”
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 Musa aikarire na Jehova hau matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, atekũrĩa irio kana akanyua maaĩ. Na agĩkĩandĩka ihengere-inĩ icio ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na nĩcio Maathani marĩa Ikũmi.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Rĩrĩa Musa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai arĩ na ihengere igĩrĩ cia Ũira moko-inĩ make, ndaamenyaga atĩ ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga nĩ ũndũ nĩarĩtie na Jehova.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Rĩrĩa Harũni na andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire Musa, ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga, nao magĩĩtigĩra kũmũkuhĩrĩria.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 No Musa akĩmeeta; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni na atongoria othe a mũingĩ magĩcooka harĩ we, nake akĩmaarĩria.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Thuutha ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩmũkuhĩrĩria, nake akĩmahe mawatho mothe marĩa Jehova amũheete kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Rĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũmaarĩria, akĩĩhumbĩra ũthiũ wake na taama wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 No rĩrĩa rĩothe aatoonyaga harĩ Jehova maranĩrie, nĩarutaga taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya oime ho. Na rĩrĩa oka kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli na aameera ũrĩa aathĩtwo,
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 makona ũthiũ wake o ũkengete. Nake Musa agacookia taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ agaathiĩ kwaria na Jehova.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
