< Exodus 34 >
1 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Hewe thee two Tables of stone, like vnto the first, and I will write vpon the Tables the wordes that were in the first Tables, which thou brakest in pieces.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Chonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, nami nitaandika juu yake maneno yale yaliyokuwa kwenye vile vibao vya kwanza, ulivyovivunja.
2 And be ready in ye morning, that thou mayest come vp earely vnto the mount of Sinai, and waite there for me in the top of the mount.
Uwe tayari asubuhi, kisha upande juu ya Mlima Sinai. Uje mbele zangu kukutana nami huko juu ya mlima.
3 But let no man come vp with thee, neither let any man be seene throughout all the mount, neyther let the sheepe nor cattell feede before this mount.
Mtu yeyote asije pamoja nawe, wala asionekane mtu popote juu ya mlima, wala kondoo na mbuzi au ngʼombe wasilishe karibu mbele ya huo mlima.”
4 Then Moses hewed two Tables of stone like vnto the first, and rose vp earely in the morning, and went vp vnto the mount of Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and tooke in his hande two Tables of stone.
Kwa hiyo Mose akachonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, naye akapanda juu ya Mlima Sinai asubuhi na mapema, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amemwagiza, akachukua vile vibao viwili vya mawe mikononi mwake.
5 And the Lord descended in the cloude, and stoode with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
Kisha Bwana akashuka katika wingu akasimama pamoja naye huko, akalitangaza jina lake, Bwana.
6 So the Lord passed before his face, and cried, The Lord, the Lord, strong, mercifull, and gracious, slowe to anger, and abundant in goodnesse and trueth,
Bwana akapita mbele ya Mose, akitangaza, “Bwana, Bwana, Mungu mwenye huruma na neema, asiye mwepesi wa hasira, mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu,
7 Reseruing mercy for thousands, forgiuing iniquitie, and transgression and sinne, and not making the wicked innocent, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon ye children, and vpon childrens children, vnto the third and fourth generation.
akidumisha upendo kwa maelfu, pia akisamehe uovu, uasi na dhambi. Lakini haachi kuadhibu mwenye hatia; huwaadhibu watoto na watoto wao kwa ajili ya dhambi ya baba zao hata katika kizazi cha tatu na cha nne.”
8 Then Moses made haste and bowed him selfe to the earth, and worshipped,
Mara Mose akasujudu na kuabudu.
9 And sayde, O Lord, I pray thee, If I haue founde grace in thy sight, that the Lord woulde nowe goe with vs (for it is a stiffe necked people) and pardon our iniquitie and our sinne, and take vs for thine inheritance.
Mose akasema, “Ee Bwana, kama nimepata kibali mbele zako, basi Bwana uende pamoja nasi. Ingawa watu hawa ni wenye shingo ngumu, samehe uovu wetu na dhambi yetu, tuchukue kuwa urithi wako.”
10 And he answered, Behold, I will make a couenant before all thy people, and will do marueiles, such as haue not bene done in all the worlde, neyther in all nations: and all the people among whom thou art, shall see the worke of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Kisha Bwana akasema: “Tazama ninafanya Agano mbele ya watu wako wote. Mbele ya watu wako wote nitafanya maajabu ambayo hayajafanyika katika taifa lolote katika ulimwengu wote. Watu wale mnaoishi miongoni mwao wataona jinsi ilivyo ya kushangaza ile kazi nitakayowafanyia mimi Bwana wenu.
11 Keepe diligently that which I commande thee this day: Beholde, I will cast out before thee the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites.
Tii yale ninayokuamuru leo. Tazama nawafukuza mbele yako Waamori, Wakanaani, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi.
12 Take heede to thy selfe, that thou make no compact with ye inhabitantes of the land whither thou goest, least they be the cause of ruine among you:
Uwe mwangalifu, usifanye agano na wale wanaokaa katika nchi ile unayoiendea, la sivyo watakuwa mtego katikati yako.
13 But yee shall ouerthrowe their altars, and breake their images in pieces, and cut downe their groues,
Bomoa madhabahu yao, vunja mawe yao ya kuabudia na ukatekate nguzo zao za Ashera.
14 (For thou shalt bow downe to none other god, because the Lord, whose Name is Ielous, is a ielous God)
Usiabudu mungu mwingine, kwa kuwa Bwana, ambaye jina lake ni Wivu, ni Mungu mwenye wivu.
15 Lest thou make a compact with the inhabitantes of the lande, and when they goe a whoring after their gods, and doe sacrifice vnto their gods, some man call thee, and thou eate of his sacrifice:
“Uwe mwangalifu usifanye agano na wale watu wanaoishi katika nchi, kwa maana wakati wanapojifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao na kuwatolea kafara, watakualika wewe nawe utakula sadaka za matambiko yao.
16 And least thou take of their daughters vnto thy sonnes, and their daughters goe a whoring after their gods, and make thy sonnes goe a whoring after their gods.
Unapowachagua baadhi ya binti zao kuwa wake wa wana wenu na binti hao wakajifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao, watawaongoza wana wenu kufanya vivyo hivyo.
17 Thou shalt make thee no gods of metall.
“Usijifanyie sanamu za kusubu.
18 The feast of vnleauened bread shalt thou keepe: seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, as I commanded thee, in ye time of the moneth of Abib: for in the moneth of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.
“Utaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Kwa siku saba mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, kama nilivyokuamuru. Fanya hivi kwa wakati ulioamriwa, katika mwezi wa Abibu, ndio mwezi wa nne, kwa kuwa katika mwezi huo ndipo wewe ulipotoka Misri.
19 Euery male, that first openeth the wombe, shalbe mine: also all the first borne of thy flocke shalbe rekoned mine, both of beeues and sheepe.
“Mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kila tumbo ni mali yangu, pamoja na wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa kiume wa mifugo yako, ikiwa ni wa ngʼombe au wa kondoo au mbuzi.
20 But ye first of ye asse thou shalt bie out with a lambe: and if thou redeeme him not, then thou shalt breake his necke: all the first borne of thy sonnes shalt thou redeeme, and none shall appeare before me emptie.
Utakomboa mzaliwa wa kwanza wa punda kwa mwana-kondoo, lakini kama humkomboi, utavunja shingo yake. Utakomboa wazaliwa wako wa kwanza wote wa kiume. “Mtu yeyote asije mbele zangu mikono mitupu.
21 Six dayes shalt thou worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest: both in earing time, and in the haruest thou shalt rest.
“Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika, hata ikiwa ni majira ya kulima au ya kuvuna lazima upumzike.
22 Thou shalt also obserue the feast of weekes in the time of ye first fruits of wheate haruest, and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere.
“Utaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Majuma kwa malimbuko ya mavuno ya ngano, na Sikukuu ya Mavuno mwishoni mwa mwaka.
23 Thrise in a yere shall all your men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah God of Israel.
Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wako wote watakuja mbele za Bwana Mwenyezi, Mungu wa Israeli.
24 For I wil cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, whe thou shalt come vp to appeare before the Lord thy God thrise in the yeere.
Nitawafukuza mataifa mbele yako na kupanua mipaka ya nchi yako, wala hakuna mtu yeyote atakayeitamani nchi yako wakati unapokwenda mara tatu kila mwaka kuonana na Bwana Mungu wako.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauen, neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passeouer be left vnto the morning.
“Usinitolee damu ya dhabihu pamoja na kitu chochote chenye chachu, wala usibakize dhabihu yoyote ya Sikukuu ya Pasaka mpaka asubuhi.
26 The first ripe fruites of thy land thou shalt bring vnto the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.
“Leta matunda ya kwanza yaliyo bora zaidi ya ardhi yako katika nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wako. “Usimchemshe mwana-mbuzi katika maziwa ya mama yake.”
27 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenour of these words I haue made a couenant with thee and with Israel.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Andika maneno haya, kwa maana kulingana na maneno haya, nimefanya Agano na wewe pamoja na Israeli.”
28 So hee was there with the Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, and did neither eat bread nor drinke water: and hee wrote in the Tables the wordes of the couenant, euen the tenne commandements.
Mose alikuwa huko pamoja na Bwana kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana bila kula chakula wala kunywa maji. Naye akaandika juu ya vibao maneno ya Agano, yaani zile Amri Kumi.
29 So when Moses came downe from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimonie were in Moses hande, as hee descended from the mount: (nowe Moses wist not that the skinne of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him.
Mose alipoteremka kutoka Mlima Sinai akiwa na vile vibao viwili vya Ushuhuda mikononi mwake, hakujua kuwa uso wake ulikuwa ukingʼaa, kwa sababu alikuwa amezungumza na Bwana.
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked vpon Moses, and beholde, the skin of his face shone bright, and they were afraid to come neere him)
Aroni na Waisraeli wote walipomwona Mose, kuwa uso wake unangʼaa, waliogopa kumkaribia.
31 But Moses called them: and Aaron and all the chiefe of the congregation returned vnto him: and Moses talked with them.
Lakini Mose akawaita, kwa hiyo Aroni na viongozi wote wa jumuiya wakarudi, naye akazungumza nao.
32 And afterwarde all the children of Israel came neere, and he charged them with al that the Lord had said vnto him in mount Sinai.
Baadaye Waisraeli wote wakamkaribia, naye akawapa amri zote Bwana alizompa katika Mlima wa Sinai.
33 So Moses made an end of comuning with them, and had put a couering vpon his face.
Mose alipomaliza kuzungumza nao, akaweka utaji kwenye uso wake.
34 But, when Moses came before the Lord to speake with him, he tooke off the couering vntill he came out: then he came out, and spake vnto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
Lakini kila wakati Mose alipoingia mbele za Bwana kuzungumza naye, aliondoa ule utaji mpaka alipotoka nje. Naye alipotoka nje na kuwaambia Waisraeli lile ambalo ameagizwa,
35 And the children of Israel sawe the face of Moses, howe the skin of Moses face shone bright: therefore Moses put the couering vpon his face, vntill he went to speake with God.
waliona kuwa uso wake unangʼaa. Kisha Mose angeliweka tena utaji juu ya uso wake mpaka alipokwenda kuzungumza na Bwana.
