Deuteronomy 5

1 Then Moses called all Israiel, and saide vnto them, Heare, O Israel, the ordinances and the lawes which I propose to you this day, that yee may learne them, and take heede to obserue them.

Musa aliwaita Israeli yote na akasema nao, “Sikiliza, Israeli, kwa amri na sheria ambazo nitasema katika masikio yenu leo, muweze kujifunza na kuzishika.

2 The Lord our God made a couenant with vs in Horeb.

Yahwe Mungu wetu alifanya agano nasi huko Horeb.

3 The Lord made not this couenant with our fathers onely, but with vs, euen with vs all here aliue this day.

Yahwe hakufanya agano hili pamoja na mababu zetu, lakini na sisi, sisi wote tu hai hapa leo.

4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the Mount, out of the middes of the fire.

Yahwe alizungumza nawe uso kwa uso kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto

5 (At that time I stoode betweene the Lord and you, to declare vnto you ye word of the Lord: for ye were afraid at the sight of the fire, and went not vp into the mount, and he said,

(Nilisimama kati ya Yahwe na wewe kwa wakati huo, kukufunulia wewe neno lake, kwa kuwa ulikuwa umeogopa kwa sababu ya moto, na haukwenda juu ya mlima), Yahwe alisema,

6 I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

'Mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nyumba ya utumwa.

7 Thou shalt haue none other gods before my face.

Hautakuwa na miungu mingine mbele yangu.

8 Thou shalt make thee no grauen image or any likenesse of that that is in heauen aboue, or which is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters vnder the earth.

Hautajifanyia mwenyewe sanamu ya kuchonga wala mfano wa kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni, au kilicho chini ya dunia, au kilicho chini ya maji.

9 Thou shalt neither bowe thy selfe vnto them, nor serue them: for I the Lord thy God am a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, euen vnto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

Hautavisujudia au kuvitumikia, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahwe Mungu wako, ni Mungu wa wivu, Nawaadhibu uovu wa mababu kwa kuleta adhabu juu ya watoto, kwa kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wale wanichukiao,

10 And shewing mercie vnto thousandes of them that loue me, and keepe my commandements.

na kuonesha agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu, kwa wale wanaonipenda na kushika amri zangu.

11 Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not holde him giltlesse that taketh his Name in vaine.

Hautalichukua jina la Yahwe Mungu wako bure, kwa kuwa Yahwe hatamshikilia kuwa ana hatia yeye alichukuae jina bure.

12 Keepe the Sabbath day, to sanctifie it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.

Zingantia siku ya Sabato kwa kuiweka takatifu, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru.

13 Sixe dayes thou shalt labour, and shalt doe all thy worke:

Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na fanya kazi zako zote,

14 But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not doe any worke therein, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, nor thy man seruant, nor thy mayd, nor thine oxe, nor thine asse, neither any of thy cattel, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy man seruant and thy mayde may rest aswell as thou.

lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato kwa Yahwe Mungu wako. Kwa siku hiyo hautafanya kazi yoyote- si wewe, wala mwana wako, wala binti yako, wala mjakazi wako wa kiume, wala maksai wako, wala punda wako, wala mifugo wako, wala mgeni yeyote aliye katika malango yako. Hii ni kwamba mjakazi wako wa kiume na mjakazi wako wa kike wapate kumpuzika pamoja na wewe.

15 For, remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence by a mightie hand and a stretched out arme: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to obserue the Sabbath day.

Utakumbuka katika akili yako kwamba ulikuo mtumwa katika nchi ya Misri, na Yahwe Mungu wako alikutoa kutoka huko kwa mkono wa uweza na mkono ulionyoshwa. Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wako amekuamuru kuitunza siku ya Sabato.

16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath comanded thee, that thy dayes may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

Mheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru kufanya, ili kwamba uweze kuishi muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako akupa, ili kwamba iende kwa uzuri kwako.

17 Thou shalt not kill.

Hautaua,

18 Neither shalt thou commit adulterie.

hautazini,

19 Neither shalt thou steale.

hautaiba,

20 Neither shalt thou beare false witnesse against thy neighbour.

hautashuhudia uongo dhidi ya ndugu yako.

21 Neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, neither shalt thou desire thy neighbours house, his fielde, nor his man seruant, nor his mayd, his oxe, nor his asse, nor ought that thy neighbour hath.

Hautamtamani mke wa jirani yako, hautatamani nyumba ya jirani yako, shamba lake, au mjakazi wake wa kiume, au mjakazi wake wa kike, maksai au punda wako, au chochote ambacho ni mali ya jirani yako.

22 These wordes the Lord spake vnto all your multitude in the mount out of the mids of the fire, the cloude and the darkenes, with a great voyce, and added no more thereto: and wrote them vpon two tables of stone, and deliuered them vnto me.

Haya maneno Yahwe alisema kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lako lote kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto, mawingu, giza zito, hakuongeza maneno yoyote zaidi. Na aliandika chini kwenye mbao mbili za mawe na akanipa mimi.

23 And when ye heard the voyce out of the middes of the darkenes, (for the mountaine did burne with fire) then ye came to me, all the chiefe of your tribes, and your Elders:

Ilipokaribia, pindi uliposikia sauti toka katikati mwa giza, wakati mlima unawaka moto, kuwa mlikuja karibu nami, wazee wako wote, na wakuu wa makibila yako.

24 And ye sayd, Beholde, the Lord our God hath shewed vs his glory and his greatnes, and we haue heard his voyce out of the middes of the fire: we haue seene this day that God doeth talke with man, and he liueth.

Ulisema, Tazama, Yahwe Mungu wetu ametuonesha utukufu wake na ukuu wake, na tumeisikia sauti yake toka katikati mwa moto, tumeona leo kwamba wakati Mungu azungumza na watu, wanaweza kuishi.

25 Now therefore, why should we dye? for this great fire wil consume vs: if we heare ye voyce of the Lord our God any more, we shall dye.

Lakini kwanini tufe? Kwa kuwa mto huu mkuu utatutoshereza sisi; kama tutasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu tena, tutakufa.

26 For what flesh was there euer, that heard the voyce of the liuing God speaking out of the middes of the fire as we haue, and liued?

Kwa kuwa badala yetu kuna miongoni mwetu wa mwili ambao wamesikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza toka katikati mwa moto na kuishi, kama tulivyofanya?

27 Go thou neere and heare all that the Lord our God saith: and declare thou vnto vs all that the Lord our God saith vnto thee, and we will heare it, and doe it.

Kwenu ninyi, mnapaswa kwenda na kusikiliza kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema; rudia kwetu kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema kwenu; tutamsikiliza na kumtii.'

28 Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, when ye spake vnto me: and the Lord sayd vnto me, I haue heard the voyce of ye wordes of this people, which they haue spoken vnto thee: they haue well sayd, all that they haue spoken.

Yahweh alisikia maneno yenu pindi mlipozungumza nami. Alisema na mimi, “Nimekwisha sikia maneno ya watu hawa, kile wanasema kwako. Kile walichosema kilikuwa kizuri.

29 Oh that there were such an heart in them to feare me, and to keepe all my commandements alway: that it might go well with them, and with their children for euer.

Oh, kulikuwa na moyo wa namba hiyo ndani yao, kwamba wataniheshimu na daima kushika amri zangu zote, ili iweze kuwa vizuri kwao na pamoja na watoto wao milele!

30 Go, say vnto them, Returne you into your tentes.

Nenda useme nao, “Rudini kwenye mahema.”

31 But stand thou here with me, and I wil tell thee all the commandements, and the ordinances, and the lawes, which thou shalt teach them: that they may doe them in the land which I giue them to possesse it.

Lakini kwenu, simama karibu nami, na nitakuambia amri zote, sheria, na maagizo ambayo mtawafundisha, ili kwamba waweze kuyashika katika nchi ambayo nitawapa kumiliki.'

32 Take heede therefore, that ye doe as the Lord your God hath commanded you: turne not aside to the right hand nor to the left,

Utashika, kwa hiyo, kile Yahwe Mungu wenu amewaamuru; hamtageukia mkono wa kulia au kushoto.

33 But walke in all the wayes which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may liue, and that it may goe well with you: and that ye may prolong your dayes in the land which ye shall possesse.

Mtatembea katika njia zote ambazo Yahwe Mungu wenu, amewaamuru ili kusudi muweze kuishi, na ili kwamba iweze kwenda vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuongeza siku zenu katika nchi ambayo mtaimiliki.
