Atiirĩrĩri 2
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũraika wa Jehova nĩambatire agĩkinya Bokimu oimĩte Giligali, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ndaamwambatirie ngĩmũruta bũrũri wa Misiri na ngĩmũtongoria nginya bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ndeerĩire maithe manyu na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩngamahe. Ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ na inyuĩ,
And an Angel of the Lord came vp from Gilgal to Bochim, and sayd, I made you to go vp out of Egypt, and haue brought you vnto the land which I had sworne vnto your fathers, and sayd, I wil neuer breake my couenant with you.
2 na inyuĩ mũtikanagĩe na kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ a bũrũri ũyũ, no nĩmũkoinanga igongona ciao.’ No inyuĩ mũtiinjathĩkĩire. Mwĩkĩte ũguo nĩkĩ?
Ye also shall make no couenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall breake downe their altars: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce. Why haue ye done this?
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndamwĩra atĩrĩ, ndikũmaingata mamweherere; no megũtuĩka ta mĩigua ĩmũtheecage mĩena, nacio ngai ciao ituĩke mũtego harĩ inyuĩ.”
Wherefore, I sayd also, I wil not cast them out before you, but they shalbe as thornes vnto your sides, and their gods shalbe your destruction.
4 Rĩrĩa mũraika wa Jehova aarĩkirie kwarĩria andũ a Isiraeli maũndũ macio mothe, andũ makĩrĩra manĩrĩire,
And when the Angel of the Lord spake these wordes vnto all the children of Israel, the people lift vp their voyce, and wept.
5 nao magĩĩta handũ hau Bokimu. Nao makĩrutĩra Jehova magongona hau.
Therefore they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifices there vnto the Lord.
6 Thuutha wa Joshua kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, andũ acio magĩthiĩ kwĩgwatĩra bũrũri, o mũndũ igai rĩake.
Now when Ioshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went euery man into his inheritance, to possesse the land.
7 Nao andũ acio magĩtungatĩra Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma Joshua na ma athuuri arĩa maatigirwo marĩ muoyo Joshua akua, arĩa meyoneire maũndũ mothe manene marĩa Jehova eekĩire Isiraeli.
And the people had serued the Lord al the dayes of Ioshua, and all the dayes of the Elders that outliued Ioshua, which had seene all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel.
8 Nake Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, ndungata ya Jehova, aakuire arĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana na ikũmi.
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of the Lord dyed, when he was an hundreth and ten yeeres olde:
9 Nao makĩmũthika kũu gĩthaka-inĩ gĩake o kũu Timinathu-Heresi bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, mwena wa gathigathini wa Kĩrĩma kĩa Gaashu.
And they buryed him in the coastes of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres in mount Ephraim, on the Northside of mount Gaash.
10 Thuutha wa rũciaro rũu ruothe gũkua, gũkĩgĩa na rũciaro rũngĩ rũtooĩ Jehova kana rũkamenya maũndũ marĩa eekĩire Isiraeli.
And so all that generation was gathered vnto their fathers, and another generation arose after them, which neither knewe the Lord, nor yet the works, which he had done for Israel.
11 Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na magĩtungatĩra ngai cia Baali.
Then the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim,
12 Nao magĩtirika Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao ũrĩa wamarutĩte bũrũri wa Misiri. Nao makĩrũmĩrĩra na makĩhooya ngai cia mĩthemba mĩingĩ cia andũ arĩa maamarigiicĩirie, magĩtũma Jehova arakare
And forsooke ye Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and followed other gods, euen the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed vnto them, and prouoked the Lord to anger.
13 tondũ nĩmatirikĩte Jehova, magatungatagĩra Baali na Maashitarothu.
So they forsooke the Lord, and serued Baal, and Ashtaroth.
14 Nake Jehova akĩrakarĩra andũ a Isiraeli, akĩmaneana kũrĩ atharĩkanĩri arĩa maatahire indo ciao. Akĩmarekereria thũ ciao iria ciamathiũrũrũkĩirie, na matiacookire gũciĩtiiria.
And the wrath of the Lord was hote against Israel, and he deliuered them into the hands of spoylers, that spoyled them, and he sold them into the handes of their enemies rounde about them, so that they could no longer stande before their enemies.
15 Rĩrĩa rĩothe andũ a Isiraeli maathiiaga kũrũa, guoko kwa Jehova kwamookagĩrĩra magatoorio, o ta ũrĩa eehĩtĩte na mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ o. Nao makĩnyamarĩka mũno.
Whithersoeuer they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, as ye Lord had sayd, and as the Lord had sworne vnto them: so he punished them sore.
16 Ningĩ Jehova akĩmaarahũrĩra atiirĩrĩri bũrũri arĩa maamahonokirie moko-inĩ ma andũ acio maamatharĩkagĩra.
Notwithstanding, the Lord raysed vp Iudges, which deliuered them out of the hands of their oppressours.
17 No rĩrĩ, o na kũrĩ ũguo, matiigana kũigua atiirĩrĩri bũrũri acio ao, no nĩmahũũrire ũmaraya na ũndũ wa kũhooya ngai ingĩ. Matiigana gwĩka ta maithe mao, no nĩmagarũrũkire narua, magĩtiga gũthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa maithe mao maathiiaga nayo, nĩyo mĩthiĩre ya gwathĩkĩra maathani ma Jehova.
But yet they would not obey their Iudges: for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, and turned quickly out of the way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandements of the Lord: they did not so.
18 Rĩrĩa rĩothe Jehova aamaarahũragĩra mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri-rĩ, Jehova aakoragwo hamwe na mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri ũcio, akamahonokagia moko-inĩ ma thũ ciao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri ũcio aarĩ muoyo; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamaiguagĩra tha nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa macaayaga nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio nĩ arĩa mamanyariiraga.
And when the Lord had raysed them vp Iudges, the Lord was with the Iudge, and deliuered them out of the hande of their enemies all the dayes of the Iudge (for the Lord had compassion on their gronings, because of them that oppressed them and tormented them)
19 No mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri akua, andũ magacookerera maũndũ mooru makĩria kũrĩ marĩa ma maithe mao, makarũmagĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, magacihooyaga na magacitungatĩra. Makĩrega gũtiga mĩtugo ĩyo yao mĩũru na mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi.
Yet when the Iudge was dead, they returned, and did worse then their fathers, in following other gods to serue them and worshippe them: they ceased not from their owne inuentions, nor from their rebellious way.
20 Tondũ ũcio, Jehova agĩkĩrakario mũno nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ nĩrũthũkĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na maithe mao ma tene, na nĩ rwagĩte kũnjigua-rĩ,
Wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sayd, Because this people hath transgressed my couenant, which I commaded their fathers, and hath not obeyed my voyce,
21 ndigũcooka kũrutũrũra rũrĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwa iria Joshua aatigire kuo agĩkua.
Therefore will I no more cast out before them any of the nations, which Ioshua left when he dyed,
22 Nĩcio ngũhũthĩra kũgeria andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo menye kana nĩmekũrũmia mĩthiĩre ya Jehova, na mathiiage nayo o ta ũrĩa maithe mao meekaga.”
That through them I may proue Israel, whether they wil keepe the way of the Lord, to walke therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.
23 Jehova nĩetĩkĩririe ndũrĩrĩ icio itigare kuo, na ndaigana gũcirutũrũra o rĩmwe na ũndũ wa gũcineana moko-inĩ ma Joshua.
So the Lord left those nations, and droue them not out immediatly, neither deliuered them into the hand of Ioshua.
