athure
- chosen, selected. Chosen, selected. Refers to people or things that have been carefully selected or elected for a particular purpose or quality; often used in religious contexts to refer to God's chosen people or elect angels.
Example: Saulu agĩgĩũkĩra, agĩikũrũka kũu werũ-inĩ wa Zifu arĩ na Aisiraeli ngiri ithatũ athure, magacarie Daudi kuo. (So Saul went down to the wilderness of Ziph with three thousand of the best warriors of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.); Ndakwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Ngai arĩ ho, o na Kristo Jesu, o na araika arĩa athure, atĩ ũhingagie maũndũ macio hatarĩ gũthurania, kana kwenda mũndũ. (I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to keep these rules without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.)
