Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and judgements, all that I speak in your ears this day, and you shall learn them, and observe to do them.
Mose akawaita Israeli wote, akawaambia: Ee Israeli, sikilizeni amri na sheria ninazowatangazia leo. Jifunzeni, na mwe na hakika kuzifuata.
2 The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Choreb.
Bwana Mungu wetu alifanya Agano nasi katika mlima wa Horebu.
3 The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: you are all here alive this day.
Si kwamba Bwana alifanya Agano na baba zetu, bali alifanya nasi, nasi sote ambao tuko hai hapa leo.
4 The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.
Bwana alisema nanyi uso kwa uso kutoka moto juu ya mlima.
5 And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because you were afraid before the fire, and you went not up to the mountain) saying,
(Wakati huo nilisimama kati ya Bwana na ninyi kuwatangazia neno la Bwana, kwa sababu mliogopa ule moto, nanyi hamkupanda mlimani.) Naye Mungu alisema:
6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa.
7 You shall have no other gods before my face.
Usiwe na miungu mingine ila mimi.
8 You shall not make to yourself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things [are] in the heaven above, and whatever [are] in the earth beneath, and whatever [are] in the waters under the earth.
Usijitengenezee sanamu katika umbo la kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni au duniani chini au ndani ya maji.
9 You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
Usivisujudie wala kuviabudu; kwa kuwa Mimi, Bwana Mungu wako, ni Mungu mwenye wivu, ninayewaadhibu watoto kwa ajili ya dhambi za baba zao hadi kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wanichukiao,
10 and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments.
lakini ninaonyesha upendo kwa maelfu ya vizazi vya wale wanipendao na kuzishika amri zangu.
11 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord your God will certainly not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
Usilitaje bure jina la Bwana Mungu wako, kwa kuwa Bwana hataacha kumhesabia hatia yeye alitajaye jina lake bure.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God commanded you.
Adhimisha siku ya Sabato na kuiweka takatifu, kama Bwana Mungu wako alivyokuagiza.
13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all your works;
Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na kutenda shughuli zako zote.
14 but on the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, your ox, and your ass, and all your cattle, and the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your man-servant may rest, and your maid, and your ox, as well as you.
Lakini siku ya Saba ni Sabato kwa Bwana, Mungu wako. Siku hiyo hutafanya kazi yoyote, wewe, wala mwanao au binti yako, wala mtumishi wa kiume au mtumishi wa kike, wala ngʼombe wako, punda wako au mnyama wako yeyote, wala mgeni aliyeko malangoni mwako, ili kwamba mtumishi wako wa kiume na wa kike wapate kupumzika kama wewe.
15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand, and a high arm: therefore the Lord appointed you to keep the sabbath day and to sanctify it.
Kumbuka mlikuwa watumwa huko Misri, na Bwana Mungu wenu aliwatoa huko kwa mkono wenye nguvu na kwa mkono ulionyooshwa. Kwa hiyo Bwana Mungu wako amekuagiza kuiadhimisha siku ya Sabato.
16 Honour your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord your God gives you.
Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Bwana Mungu wako alivyokuagiza, ili siku zako zipate kuwa nyingi na kufanikiwa katika nchi Bwana Mungu wako anayokupa.
17 You shall not commit murder.
Usiue.
18 You shall not commit adultery.
Usizini.
19 You shall not steal.
Usiibe.
20 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
Usimshuhudie jirani yako uongo.
21 You shall not covet your neighbour's wife; you shall not covet your neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any beast of his, nor any thing that is your neighbour's.
Usitamani mke wa jirani yako. Usitamani nyumba ya jirani yako au shamba lake, mtumishi wake wa kiume au wa kike, ngʼombe au punda wake, wala kitu chochote cha jirani yako.”
22 These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire—[there was] darkness, blackness, storm, a loud voice—and he added no more, and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them to me.
Hizi ndizo amri alizozitangaza Bwana kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lenu lote huko mlimani kutoka kwenye moto, wingu na giza nene, wala hakuongeza chochote zaidi. Kisha akaziandika juu ya vibao viwili vya mawe, naye akanipa mimi.
23 And it came to pass when you heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burnt with fire, that you came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders:
Mliposikia sauti kutoka kwenye giza, mlima ulipokuwa ukiwaka moto, viongozi wenu wote wa makabila yenu na wazee wenu walinijia mimi.
24 and you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.
Nanyi mkasema, “Bwana Mungu wetu ametuonyesha utukufu na enzi yake, nasi tumesikia sauti yake kutoka kwenye moto. Leo tumeona kwamba mwanadamu anaweza kuishi hata kama Mungu akizungumza naye.
25 And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die.
Lakini sasa, kwa nini tufe? Moto huu mkubwa utatuteketeza sisi na tutakufa kama tukiendelea kusikia sauti ya Bwana Mungu wetu zaidi.
26 For what flesh [is there] which has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?
Ni mtu yupi mwenye mwili ambaye amewahi kuisikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza kutoka kwenye moto, kama sisi tulivyoisikia, naye akaishi?
27 Do you draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and you shall speak to us all things whatever the Lord our God shall speak to you, and we will hear, and do.
Sogea karibu usikie yale yote asemayo Bwana Mungu wetu. Kisha utuambie chochote kile ambacho Bwana Mungu wetu anakuambia. Tutasikiliza na kutii.”
28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words as you spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to you. [They have] well [said] all that they have spoken.
Bwana aliwasikia wakati mlipozungumza nami, na Bwana akaniambia, “Nimesikia kile hawa watu walichokuambia. Kila kitu walichokisema ni kizuri.
29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever.
Laiti kama mioyo yao ingekuwa na mwelekeo wa kuniogopa na kuzishika amri zangu zote daima, ili kwamba wafanikiwe wao pamoja na watoto wao milele!
30 Go, say to them, Return you to your houses;
“Nenda uwaambie warudi kwenye mahema yao.
31 but stand you here with me, and I will tell you all the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which you shall teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance.
Lakini wewe baki hapa pamoja nami ili niweze kukupa maagizo yote, amri na sheria ambazo utawafundisha wazifuate katika nchi ninayokwenda kuwapa waimiliki.”
32 And you shall take heed to do as the Lord your God commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left,
Hivyo kuweni waangalifu kuyafanya yale Bwana Mungu wenu aliyowaagiza; msigeuke upande wa kuume wala wa kushoto.
33 according to all the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in it, that he may give you rest; and that it may be well with you, and you may prolong your days on the land which you shall inherit.
Fuateni yale yote ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu aliwaagiza, ili mpate kuishi, kustawi na kuziongeza siku zenu katika nchi mtakayoimiliki.
