Deuteronomy 6
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;
Na rĩrĩ, maya nĩmo maathani, na watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu aanjathire ndĩmũrute nĩgeetha mũmamenyagĩrĩre mũrĩ bũrũri ũcio mũkũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũthiĩ mũkawĩgwatĩre ũtuĩke wanyu.
2 that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Nĩgeetha inyuĩ na ciana cianyu, na ciana ciao iria igooka thuutha mwĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu rĩrĩa rĩothe mũgũtũũra muoyo, na ũndũ wa kũmenyerera watho wake wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na maathani marĩa mothe ngũmũhe, na nĩguo mũtũũre mũkenete matukũ maingĩ.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Atĩrĩrĩ wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria na ũmenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkaga nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, na ningĩ nĩgeetha mũingĩhe mũno mũrĩ bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamwĩrĩire.
4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria: Jehova Ngai witũ, we wiki nowe Jehova.
5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na hinya waku wothe.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
Maathani maya ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ ũreke matũũre ngoro-inĩ yaku.
7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Ũmarutage ciana ciaku na kĩyo. Aragia ũhoro wamo rĩrĩa ũikarĩte gwaku mũciĩ na rĩrĩa ũgũthiĩ na njĩra, o na rĩrĩa ũkomete na rĩrĩa wokĩra.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
Mohagĩrĩre guoko-inĩ gwaku marĩ imenyithia, na ũmohagĩrĩre ũthiũ-inĩ waku.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
Maandĩke hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba ciaku, o na ũmaandĩke ihingo-inĩ ciaku.
10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova Ngai waku agaagũkinyia bũrũri ũcio erĩire maithe maku na mwĩhĩtwa: akĩĩrĩra Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu, atĩ nĩagakũhe bũrũri ũrĩ na matũũra manene, mega, ũtaakĩte wee mwene,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;
na akũhe nyũmba ciyũrĩte indo njega cia mĩthemba yothe, no tiwe mwene ũciyũrĩtie kuo, na ithima ũteenjete wee mwene, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa ũtaahandĩte wee mwene; hĩndĩ ĩyo warĩa na wahũũna,
12 then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
ũkaamenyerera ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, agĩkũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.
13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.
Wĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai waku, ũmũtungatĩre o we wiki, na rĩrĩa ũkwĩhĩta ũgwetage rĩĩtwa rĩake.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
Ndũkanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, ngai cia andũ arĩa makũrigiicĩirie;
15 for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, na marakara make nĩmagagũũkĩrĩra magũcine, na makũniine biũ ũthire bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
16 Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Mũtikanagerie Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa mwekire kũu Masa.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Mũtikanaage kũmenyerera maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, na irĩkanĩro, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, marĩa akũheete ũrũmagĩrĩre.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,
Ĩkaga maũndũ marĩa moonagwo nĩ Jehova magĩrĩire na mega, nĩgeetha ũtũũre wonaga maũndũ mega, nĩguo ũthiĩ ũkegwatĩre bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩa Ngai eerĩire maithe manyu ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa,
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
atĩ nĩakaingata thũ cianyu ciothe ciehere mbere yaku, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
20 When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
Matukũ-inĩ ma thuutha, rĩrĩa mũrũguo agaakũũria atĩrĩ, “Gĩtũmi kĩa irĩkanĩro icio, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho marĩa Jehova Ngai aamwathĩte mũrũmagĩrĩre, nĩ kĩĩ?”
21 then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Ũkaamũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ithuĩ twarĩ ngombo cia Firaũni kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, no Jehova agĩtũruta bũrũri ũcio wa Misiri na ũndũ wa guoko gwake kwa hinya.
22 and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;
Nĩtweyoneire na maitho maitũ Jehova akĩringa ciama na agĩĩka maũndũ ma kũgegania, maũndũ manene mũno na ma kũmakania, akĩmeeka kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, o na kũrĩ Firaũni na andũ a nyũmba yake yothe.
23 and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
No nĩatũrutire kuuma kũu nĩgeetha atũrehe gũkũ nĩguo atũhe bũrũri ũyũ eerĩire maithe maitũ ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.
24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
Nake Jehova agĩtwatha twathĩkagĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wothe wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na twĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩgeetha tũgaacagĩre hĩndĩ ciothe, na tũtũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
25 And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
Na ithuĩ tũngĩmenyerera gwathĩkĩra watho ũyũ wothe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte-rĩ, ũcio nĩ ũgaatuĩka ũthingu witũ.”
