Numbers 10
1 The Lord told Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 “Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
“Tengeneza tarumbeta mbili za fedha ya kufua, uzitumie kwa kuita jumuiya pamoja na wakati wa kuvunja makambi ili kuondoka.
3 When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Tarumbeta zote mbili zikipigwa, jumuiya yote itakusanyika mbele yako katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
4 But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
Kama tarumbeta moja tu ikipigwa, viongozi, yaani wakuu wa koo za Israeli, ndio watakaokusanyika mbele yako.
5 When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
Wakati mlio wa kujulisha hatari ukipigwa, makabila yaliyo na makambi upande wa mashariki yataondoka.
6 When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
Ukisikika mlio wa pili wa jinsi hiyo, walioko kwenye makambi ya kusini wataondoka. Mlio huo wa kujulisha hatari utakuwa ishara ya kuondoka.
7 To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
Ili kukusanya kusanyiko, piga tarumbeta zote, lakini siyo kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari.
8 Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
“Wana wa Aroni, makuhani, ndio watakaopiga hizo tarumbeta. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu na kwa vizazi vijavyo.
9 When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
Wakati mtakapopigana vita katika nchi yenu wenyewe dhidi ya adui anayewaonea, piga tarumbeta kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari. Ndipo utakumbukwa na Bwana Mungu wenu na kuokolewa kutoka kwa adui zenu.
10 Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
Pia nyakati za furaha yenu, yaani sikukuu zenu zilizoamriwa na sikukuu za Mwezi Mwandamo, mtapiga tarumbeta juu ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na sadaka zenu za amani, nazo zitakuwa ukumbusho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.”
11 The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
Katika siku ya ishirini ya mwezi wa pili wa mwaka wa pili, wingu liliinuka kutoka juu ya maskani ya Ushuhuda.
12 The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
Ndipo Waisraeli wakaondoka kutoka Jangwa la Sinai wakasafiri kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine mpaka wingu lilipotua katika Jangwa la Parani.
13 This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
Waliondoka kwa mara ya kwanza kwa agizo la Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
14 The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Yuda vilitangulia kwanza chini ya alama yao. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu alikuwa kiongozi wao.
15 Nethanel, son of Zuar, was in charge of the tribal division of Issachar,
Nethaneli mwana wa Suari alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Isakari,
16 and Eliab, son of Helon, was in charge of the tribal division of Zebulun.
naye Eliabu mwana wa Heloni alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Zabuloni.
17 Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.
Ndipo Maskani iliposhushwa, nao wana wa Gershoni na wana wa Merari ambao waliibeba wakaondoka.
18 Then came the divisions of Reuben who marched out under their flag, with Elizur, son of Shedeur, in charge.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Reubeni vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri alikuwa kiongozi wao.
19 Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, was in charge of the tribal division of Simeon,
Shelumieli mwana wa Surishadai aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Simeoni,
20 and Eliasaph, son of Deuel, was in charge of the tribal division of Gad.
naye Eliasafu mwana wa Deueli aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Gadi.
21 Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.
Kisha Wakohathi wakaondoka, wakichukua vitu vitakatifu. Maskani ilikuwa isimamishwe kabla wao hawajafika.
22 Then came the divisions of Ephraim who marched out under their flag, with Elishama, son of Ammihud in charge.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Efraimu vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi alikuwa kiongozi wao.
23 Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, was in charge of the tribal division of Manasseh,
Gamalieli mwana wa Pedasuri aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Manase,
24 and Abidan, son of Gideoni, was in charge of the tribal division of Benjamin.
naye Abidani mwana wa Gideoni alikuwa kiongozi wa kikosi cha kabila la Benyamini.
25 Lastly came the divisions of Dan who marched out under their flag, defending the rear of all the tribal groups, with Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, in charge.
Mwishowe, kama kikosi cha nyuma cha ulinzi wa vikosi vyote, vikosi vya kambi ya Dani viliondoka chini ya alama yao. Ahiezeri mwana wa Amishadai alikuwa kiongozi wao.
26 Pagiel, son of Ocran, was in charge of the tribal division of Asher,
Pagieli mwana wa Okrani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Asheri,
27 and Ahira, son of Enan, was in charge of the tribal division of Naphtali.
naye Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Naftali.
28 This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
Huu ndio ulikuwa utaratibu wa kuondoka wa vikosi vya Waisraeli walipokuwa wanaondoka.
29 Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
Basi Mose akamwambia Hobabu mwana wa Reueli, Mmidiani, mkwewe Mose, “Tunaondoka kwenda mahali ambapo Bwana amesema ‘Nitawapa ninyi mahali hapo.’ Twende pamoja nasi tutakutendea mema, kwa maana Bwana ameahidi mambo mema kwa Israeli.”
30 “No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
Akajibu, “Hapana, sitakwenda; nitarudi kwenye nchi yangu mwenyewe na watu wangu mwenyewe.”
31 “Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
Lakini Mose akasema, “Tafadhali usituache. Wewe unajua mahali ambapo yatupasa kupiga kambi jangwani, nawe unaweza kuwa macho yetu.
32 If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
Ikiwa utafuatana nasi, tutashirikiana nawe mema yoyote tutakayopewa na Bwana.”
33 They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
Hivyo waliondoka kutoka mlima wa Bwana, nao wakasafiri kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la Agano la Bwana liliwatangulia kwa zile siku tatu ili kuwatafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
34 The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
Wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu yao wakati wa mchana walipoondoka kambini.
35 Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
Wakati wowote Sanduku lilipoondoka, Mose alisema, “Ee Bwana, inuka! Watesi wako na watawanyike; adui zako na wakimbie mbele zako.”
36 Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
Wakati wowote Sanduku liliposimama, alisema, “Ee Bwana, rudi, kwa maelfu ya Waisraeli wasiohesabika.”
