Deuteronomy 6
1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgements, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.
Sasa haya ni maagizo, amri, na sheria ambazo Yahwe Mungu wetu ameniamuru mimi kuwafundisha ninyi, ili kwamba muweze kuzishika katika nchi ambayo mnaenda ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani kumiliki,
2 That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
ili kwamba mpate kumheshimu Yahwe wenu, ili muzishike amri zake zote na maagizo ninayowaamuru-ninyi, wana wenu na wana wa wana wenu, siku zenu zote za maisha, ili kwamba siku zenu ziongezeke.
3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
Kwa hiyo wasikilizeni, Israeli, na kuzishika ili kwamba iweze kuwa vizuri kwenu, ili kusudi muweze kuzidi mno kwenye nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe Mungu wa Baba zenu, amewaahidi atafanya.
4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
Sikiliza, Israel: Yahwe Mungu wetu ni mmoja.
5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
Mtampenda Yahwe Mungu wenu kwa moyo wenu wote, kwa roho zenu zote, na kwa akili zenu zote.
6 And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
Maneno ninayowaamuru ninyi leo yatakuwa katika moyo wenu;
7 And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
na mtayafundisha kwa bidii kwa watoto wenu, mtayazungumza wakati mkaapo katika nyumba zenu, wakati mlalapo, na wakati mwinukapo.
8 And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
Utazifunga kama ishara juu ya mkono wako, nayo yatakuwa utepe kati ya macho yako.
9 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
Utaziandika kwenye miimo ya mlango ya nyumba yako na kwenye malango.
10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
Wakati Yahwe Mungu wako akuleta kwenye nchi ambayo aliaapa kwa baba zako, Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo, kwamba angekupa, pamoja na miji mikubwa na mizuri ambayo hamkuijenga,
11 houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
na nyumba zilizojaa kila aina ya vitu vizuri ambavyo hamkuzifanya, visima ambavyo hamkuvichimba, mashamba na miti ya mizeituni ambayo hamkuipanda, mtakula na kutosheka-
12 beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
basi iweni makini ili kwamba msije kumsahau Yahwe, aliyewaleta toka nchi ya Misri, toka nyumba ya utumwa.
13 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
Mtamheshimu Yahwe Mungu wenu, yeye mtamwabudu, na mtaapa kwa jina lake.
14 Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;
Hamtawaendea miungu mingine, miungu ya watu wanaowazunguka wote-
15 for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu katikati yenu ni Mungu wa wivu- kama mtafanya, hasira ya Yahwe Mungu wenu atawasha dhidi yenu na atawaangamiza kutoka kwenye uso wa dunia.
16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
Hamtamjaribu Yahwe Mungu wenu kama mlivyomjaribu huko Massah.
17 You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.
Kwa bidii mtayashika maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, maagizo yake makini, na amri ambazo amewaamuru.
18 And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
Mtafanya kile kilicho sahihi na kizuri katika macho ya Yahwe, kwamba iwe vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuingia na kumiliki nchi nzuri ambayo Yahwe aliaapa kwa baba zenu,
19 to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
kuwaondoa maadui zenu wote mbele zenu, kama Yahwe alivyosema.
20 And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
Wakati mwana wako auliza kwa wakati unaokuja, kusema,”Ni zipi amri za gano, sheria, na amri zingine ambazo Yahwe Mungu wetu alituamuru?
21 Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
Basi utasema kwa mwana wako, tulikuwa watumwa wa Farao huko Misri, Yahwe alitutoa Misri kwa mkono wa uweza,
22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
na alionesha ishara na maajabu, makuu na makali, Misri kwa Farao, na kwa nyumba yake yote, mbele ya macho yenu,
23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.
na alitutoa kutoka huko, ili kwamba atulete ndani, kutupa nchi ambayo aliaapa kwa baba zetu.
24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
Yahwe alituamuru daima kuzishika amri hizi, kumuogopa Yahwe Mungu wetu kwa uzuri wetu, ili kwamba atuweke hai, kama tulivyo leo.
25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
Kama tutashika maagizo haya yote mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wetu kama alivyotuamuru, hii itakuwa haki yetu.
