Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
Mose na wazee wa Israeli wakawaagiza watu: “Yashikeni maagizo haya yote ninayowaagiza leo.
2 And it shall be on the day when ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Mto Yordani na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, msimamishe mawe makubwa na mkayatie lipu.
3 and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou goest over that thou mayest enter into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
Andikeni juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii wakati mtakapokuwa mmevuka na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama vile Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 And it shall be when ye go over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Yordani, simamisheni mawe haya juu ya Mlima Ebali, kama ninavyowaagiza leo, mkayatie lipu.
5 And there shalt thou build an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up an iron [tool] upon them;
Huko mjengeeni Bwana Mungu wenu madhabahu, madhabahu ya mawe. Msitumie kifaa chochote cha chuma juu yake.
6 of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of Jehovah thy God; and thou shalt offer up burnt-offerings thereon to Jehovah thy God.
Jengeni madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wenu kwa mawe ya shambani, na mtoe sadaka za kuteketezwa juu yake kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
7 And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before Jehovah thy God.
Toeni sadaka za amani juu yake, mkizila na kufurahia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
Nanyi mtaandika maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi sana juu ya mawe haya ambayo mmesimamisha.”
9 And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hearken, Israel! this day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God.
Kisha Mose na makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, wakawaambia Israeli wote, “Nyamaza ee Israeli, sikiliza! Sasa umekuwa taifa la Bwana Mungu wako.
10 And thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Mtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kufuata amri zake na maagizo ninayokupa leo.”
11 And Moses gave commandment to the people the same day, saying,
Siku ile ile Mose akawaagiza watu:
12 These shall stand to bless the people upon mount Gerizim, when ye have gone over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
Mtakapovuka Mto Yordani, makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu kubariki watu: Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari, Yosefu na Benyamini.
13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Ebali kwa kutamka laana: Reubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dani na Naftali.
14 And the Levites shall declare and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
Nao Walawi watawasomea watu wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
15 Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, a work of the craftsman's hand, and putteth it up secretly! And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
