Deuteronomy 6

1 “These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order 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 So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your 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 Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you 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 Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.

Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Isiraeli, thikĩrĩria: Jehova Ngai witũ, we wiki nowe Jehova.

5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Endaga Jehova Ngai waku na ngoro yaku yothe, na muoyo waku wothe, na hinya waku wothe.

6 And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.

Maathani maya ndĩrakũhe ũmũthĩ ũreke matũũre ngoro-inĩ yaku.

7 And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising 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 you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.

Mohagĩrĩre guoko-inĩ gwaku marĩ imenyithia, na ũmohagĩrĩre ũthiũ-inĩ waku.

9 And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.

Maandĩke hingĩro-inĩ cia mĩrango ya nyũmba ciaku, o na ũmaandĩke ihingo-inĩ ciaku.

10 And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;

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 houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

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 and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:

ũkaamenyerera ndũkanariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, agĩkũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo.

13 take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.

Wĩtigagĩre Jehova Ngai waku, ũmũtungatĩre o we wiki, na rĩrĩa ũkwĩhĩta ũgwetage rĩĩtwa rĩake.

14 You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.

Ndũkanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ, ngai cia andũ arĩa makũrigiicĩirie;

15 For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from 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 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.

Mũtikanagerie Jehova Ngai wanyu ta ũrĩa mwekire kũu Masa.

17 Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

Mũtikanaage kũmenyerera maathani ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, na irĩkanĩro, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, marĩa akũheete ũrũmagĩrĩre.

18 And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore to your 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 that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.

atĩ nĩakaingata thũ cianyu ciothe ciehere mbere yaku, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.

20 And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’

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 You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from Egypt with a strong 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 he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.

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 led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore to our fathers.

No nĩatũrutire kuuma kũu nĩgeetha atũrehe gũkũ nĩguo atũhe bũrũri ũyũ eerĩire maithe maitũ ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa.

24 And the Lord instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.

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 he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has 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.”
