Alawii 18
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;
3 Mũtikaneke maũndũ marĩa andũ a Misiri, kũrĩa mwatũũraga, meekaga, na mũtikaneke maũndũ marĩa mekagwo bũrũri wa Kaanani, kũrĩa ndĩramũtwara. Mũtikarũmĩrĩre mĩthiĩre yao.
according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
4 No nginya mwathĩkagĩre mawatho makwa na mũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.

and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:
26 No inyuĩ, no nginya mũrũmie kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho makwa. Andũ arĩa maciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu, kana ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ, matikaneke ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa macio marĩ magigi,
and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
27 nĩgũkorwo maũndũ macio mothe nĩmo meekagwo nĩ andũ arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio mbere yanyu, naguo bũrũri ũcio ũkĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu.
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled),
28 O na inyuĩ mũngĩgwatia bũrũri ũcio thaahu, nĩũkamũtahĩka o ta ũrĩa watahĩkire arĩa maatũũraga kuo mbere yanyu.
and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you;

for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the midst of their people;
30 Rũmiai maũndũ marĩa ndĩmwathĩte na mũtikanarũmĩrĩre mĩtugo ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi, ĩrĩa yekagwo mũtaanoka, na mũtikanethaahie nayo. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'
