Mwahota kũmakinyĩra.” 6 (No rĩrĩ, nĩamatwarĩte nyũmba igũrũ, na akamahitha rungu rwa ũguta ũrĩa aarĩte kũu nyũmba igũrũ). 7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki makiumagara, makĩmarũmĩrĩra na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩthiiaga mariũko-inĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na rĩrĩa andũ acio mamarũmĩrĩire moimire na nja o ũguo-rĩ, kĩhingo gĩkĩhingwo. 8 Athigaani acio eerĩ matanakoma, mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩambata kũu nyũmba igũrũ, 9 na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ, na atĩ nĩtũnyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wanyu, o nginya ithuothe andũ arĩa tũtũũraga bũrũri ũyũ tũkaiyũrwo nĩ maaĩ nda nĩ ũndũ wanyu. 10 Nĩtũiguĩte ũrĩa Jehova aahũithirie maaĩ ma Iria Itune nĩ ũndũ wanyu rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na ũrĩa mwekire Sihoni na Ogu, athamaki arĩa eerĩ a Aamori o kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, arĩa mwaninire biũ. 11 Rĩrĩa twaiguire ũhoro ũcio, ngoro ciitũ nĩciaringĩkire na ũmĩrĩru wa mũndũ o mũndũ akĩũrwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wanyu, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe Ngai wa kũu igũrũ o na wa gũkũ thĩ. 12 Na rĩrĩ, ndamũthaitha mwĩhĩte na mwĩhĩtwa mũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova atĩ nĩmũkaiguĩra andũ a nyũmba iitũ tha, na mũmĩĩke wega, tondũ o na niĩ nĩndamũiguĩra tha na ndamwĩka wega. Na mũnyonie ũndũ ũcio na kĩmenyithia kĩa ma 13 kĩa atĩ nĩmũkahonokia baba na maitũ, na ariũ a baba o na aarĩ a baba, na andũ ao othe ciana ciao ciothe, na atĩ nĩmũgatũhonokia kuuma harĩ gĩkuũ.” 14 Nao andũ acio makĩmũmĩrĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrokua tũngĩkaaga kũhonokia mĩoyo yanyu! Waga kuuga ũrĩa tũreeka, nĩtũkaamwĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi na ma kĩhooto rĩrĩa Jehova agaatũhe bũrũri ũyũ.” 15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmaikũrũkia na mũkanda, akĩmoimĩria ndirica tondũ nyũmba ĩrĩa aikaraga yaakĩtwo rũthingo-inĩ rwa itũũra rĩu inene. 16 Na rĩrĩ, nĩameerĩte atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi kũrĩa irĩma-inĩ nĩgeetha andũ acio mamũrũmĩrĩire matikamuone. Mwĩhithei kũu mĩthenya ĩtatũ o nginya makorwo macookete, mũcooke mwĩthiĩre.” 17 Nao andũ acio makĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ watwĩhĩtithia ndũgatũcookerera kana ũtwĩke ũũru, 18 o tiga wĩkire ũũ: rĩrĩa tũgaatoonya bũrũri ũyũ-rĩ, ũgaakorwo wohereire rũrigi rũrũ rũtune ndirica-inĩ o ĩno watũharũrũkĩria, nawe ũkorwo ũrehete thoguo na nyũkwa, na ariũ a thoguo, na andũ anyu othe gũkũ gwaku nyũmba. 19 Mũndũ o wothe ũkoima nja ya nyũmba yaku athiĩ na kũu barabara-inĩ-rĩ, thakame yake ĩkamũcookerera we mwene; no ithuĩ tũtigacookererwo nĩ ũũru nĩ ũndũ wake. No ũhoro wa mũndũ o wothe ũgaakorwo nyũmba hamwe nawe, thakame yake nĩĩgatũcookerera angĩgeekwo ũũru nĩ guoko kwa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. 20 No rĩrĩ ũngĩaria ũhoro ũyũ witũ twĩ naguo, tũtigacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũkoniĩ mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa watwĩhĩtithia.” 21 Nake agĩcookia, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkĩra; nĩgũtuĩke o ta ũguo mwoiga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩkĩmoigĩra ũhoro, nao magĩthiĩ. Na akĩoherera rũrigi rũu rũtune hau ndirica-inĩ. 22 Maarĩkia kuumagara-rĩ, magĩthiĩ irĩma-inĩ na magĩikara kuo mĩthenya ĩtatũ, nginya rĩrĩa andũ arĩa maamarũmĩrĩire maahũndũkire.
