Ndari 10
1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
2 “Thondeka tũrumbeta twĩrĩ, ũtũthondeke na betha ndure, tũhũthagĩrwo gwĩtaga kĩrĩndĩ hamwe, o na twa gwĩta andũ moime kambĩ moimagare mathiĩ.
“[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
3 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũrumbeta tweerĩ twahuhwo hamwe, kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe gĩkongana harĩwe hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
4 Angĩkorwo no karumbeta kamwe kahuhwo-rĩ, atongoria, nĩo anene a mbarĩ cia Isiraeli, nĩo marĩũnganaga harĩwe.
If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
5 Rĩrĩa karumbeta kahuhwo na mũgambo mũnene, mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ĩikarĩte mwena wa irathĩro ĩkoimagara.
If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
6 Karumbeta ga keerĩ kahuhwo na mũgambo mũnene, andũ a kambĩ cia mwena wa gũthini makoimagara. Mũgambo ũcio mũnene nĩguo kĩmenyithia gĩa kuumagara.
When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
7 Nĩgeetha kĩrĩndĩ kĩũngane-rĩ, huhagai tũrumbeta, no ti na mĩhuhĩre ta ĩyo ĩngĩ.
When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
8 “Ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩo marĩhuhaga tũrumbeta tũu. Ũndũ ũcio ũtuĩke watho wa gũtũũrio nĩ inyuĩ na njiarwa iria igooka.
“The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
9 Rĩrĩa mũgũthiĩ mbaara ĩrĩ bũrũri wanyu kĩũmbe mũkarũe na thũ iria imũhinyagĩrĩria-rĩ, huhagai tũrumbeta na mũgambo mũnene. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩakamũririkana na amũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ thũ cianyu.
When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
10 Ningĩ mahinda manyu ma gũkena, nĩmo ma ciathĩ cianyu iria njathane, na ciathĩ cia Karũgamo ka Mweri, nĩ mũrĩhuhaga tũrumbeta nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano, na nĩmo magaatuĩka kĩririkano kĩanyu mbere ya Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai Wanyu.”
Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
11 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa mweri wa keerĩ mwaka-inĩ wa ĩĩrĩ, itu nĩrĩeherire kuuma hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre ya Ũira.
On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
12 Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara kuuma Werũ wa Sinai magĩthiĩ kuuma handũ hamwe nginya harĩa hangĩ, o nginya rĩrĩa itu rĩu rĩarũgamire Werũ-inĩ wa Parani.
So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
13 Nao makiumagara, arĩ riita rĩa mbere, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.

28 Ũguo nĩguo ikundi cia andũ a Isiraeli ciarũmanĩrĩire ikiumagara.
That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
29 Na rĩrĩ, Musa akĩĩra Hobabu mũrũ wa Reueli ũrĩa Mũmidiani ũrĩa warĩ mũthoni-we atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũroimagara tũthiĩ kũrĩa Jehova aatwĩrire ũhoro wakuo atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngamũhe kũndũ kũu.’ Ũka tũthiĩ nawe, na nĩtũgũgwĩka maũndũ mega, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩerĩire Isiraeli maũndũ mega.”
One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
30 Hobabu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndigũũka; no ngũcooka bũrũri witũ na kũrĩ andũ aitũ.”
But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
31 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ndũgatũtige. Wee nĩũũĩ kũndũ kũrĩa tũngĩamba hema ciitũ gũkũ werũ-inĩ, na no ũtuĩke maitho maitũ.
But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
32 Ũngĩtwarana na ithuĩ-rĩ, nĩtũrĩkũgayagĩra kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩega Jehova arĩtũheaga.”
Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara moimĩte hau kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova, magĩthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ. Narĩo ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩgĩthiĩ rĩmatongoretie mĩthenya ĩyo ĩtatũ, nĩguo rĩkamacarĩrie handũ ha kũhurũka.
[So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
34 Narĩo itu rĩa Jehova rĩakoragwo igũrũ rĩao o mũthenya makiumagara kuuma kambĩ.
The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
35 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ithandũkũ rĩoimagario, Musa akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, arahũka! Thũ ciaku irohurunjũka; thũ ciaku irokũũrĩra.”
Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
36 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa rĩaigwo thĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova cookerera ngiri ici cia Isiraeli itangĩtarĩka.”
And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
