Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the Israelite elders of Israel gave these instructions to the people: Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.
Musa na wazee wa Israeli waliwaamuru watu na kusema, “Zishikeni amri zote ninazowaamuru leo.
2 The day you cross the Jordan into the country the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and paint them with whitewash.
Katika siku mtakapopita juu ya Yordani kwenye nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, mnapaswa kutengeneza mawe kiasi makubwa na kuyachapa kwa lipu.
3 Then write all these laws on them once you've crossed over to enter the country that the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, promised you.
Mnatakiwa kuyaandika juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii pale mtakapovuka; ili muweze kwenda katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe, Mungu wa mababu zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 After you've crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, having painted them with whitewash, as I've ordered you to do today.
Mtakapovuka juu ya Yordani, yapangane haya mawe ninayowaamuru leo, juu ya mlima wa Ebali, na myapige kwa lipu.
5 Also build a stone altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't use any stone tools in its construction.
Hapo mnapaswa kujenga dhabahu kwa Yahwe Mungu wako, dhabahu la mawe; lakini hautakiwi kuinua chombo cha chuma kujenga mawe.
6 Build the altar of the Lord your God with uncut stones and sacrifice burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
Unatakiwa kujenga dhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako kwa mawe yasiyokuwa na kazi; unatakiwa kutoa dhabihu ya kuteketeza juu yake kwa Yahwe Mungu wako,
7 That is also where you are to sacrifice and eat your peace offerings, celebrating in the presence of the Lord your God.
na utatoa sadaka ya pamoja na utakula pale; utafurahia mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako.
8 Write all these laws clearly on the stones.
Utaandika juu ya mawe maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi.
9 Moses and the Levitical priests gave these orders to all the Israelites: “Be quiet, people of Israel, and listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
Musa na makuhani, Walawi, waliongea na Waisraeli wote na kusema, “Nyamazeni na sikilizeni Israel: Leo mmekuwa watu wa Yahwe Mungu wenu.
10 So obey what the Lord your God tells you, and follow commandments and regulations that I'm giving you today.”
Mnapaswa basi kutii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu na kutii amri na sheria zake ambazo ninawaamuru leo.”
11 That day Moses gave these orders to the people:
Musa aliwaamuru watu siku hiyo hiyo na kusema,
12 After you've crossed the Jordan, the following tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
“Makabila haya yanapaswa kusimama katika mlima Gerizimu kuwabariki watu baada ya nyinyi kuvuka Yordani; Simeoni, Lawi, Judah, Isakari, Yusufu na Benyamini.
13 The following tribes are to stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Haya ni makabila ambayo lazima yasimame juu yam lima Ebali kutamka laana: Rubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dan na Naftali.
14 Then the Levites will shout in a loud voice so Israelite can hear:
Walawi watajibu na kusema kwa wanamume wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
