Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to possess it:
Haya ndiyo maagizo, amri na sheria ambazo Bwana Mungu wenu aliniagiza niwafundishe ninyi ili mpate kuyashika katika nchi ambayo ninyi mnavuka Yordani kuimiliki,
2 That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
ili kwamba ninyi, watoto wenu na watoto wao baada yao wamche Bwana Mungu wenu siku zote kwa kushika amri na maagizo yake yote ninayowapa, ili mweze kuyafurahia maisha marefu.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.
Sikia, ee Israeli, nawe uwe mwangalifu kutii ili upate kufanikiwa na kuongezeka sana katika nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi ninyi.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Sikia, ee Israeli: Bwana Mungu wako, Bwana ni mmoja.
5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote, na kwa nguvu zako zote.
6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:
Amri hizi ninazokupa leo zitakuwa katika moyo wako.
7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Wafundishe watoto wako kwa bidii. Nena kuhusu amri hizi uketipo nyumbani na wakati utembeapo njiani, ulalapo na uamkapo.
8 And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Zifunge kama alama juu ya mkono wako, na uzifunge juu ya paji la uso wako.
9 And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.
Ziandike kwenye miimo ya milango ya nyumba yako na juu ya malango yako.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,
Wakati Bwana Mungu wako atakapokuleta katika nchi aliyowaapia baba zako, Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo, kukupa wewe, nchi kubwa, ina miji inayopendeza ambayo hukuijenga,
11 And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dig, which you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;
nyumba zilizojaa vitu vizuri vya aina nyingi ambavyo hukuvijaza, visima ambavyo hukuchimba, na mashamba ya mizabibu na mizeituni ambayo hukupanda wewe, basi, utakapokula na kushiba,
12 Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
jihadhari usije ukamwacha Bwana, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa.
13 You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.
Utamcha Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake na kuapa kwa jina lake.
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
Usifuate miungu mingine, miungu ya mataifa yanayokuzunguka;
15 (For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wako, ambaye yuko katikati yako, ni Mungu mwenye wivu na hasira yake itawaka dhidi yako, naye atakuangamiza kutoka uso wa nchi.
16 You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako kama ulivyofanya huko Masa.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Utayashika maagizo ya Bwana Mungu wako kwa bidii, na masharti na amri alizokupa.
18 And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
Fanya lililo haki na jema mbele za Bwana, ili upate kufanikiwa, uweze kuingia na kuimiliki nchi nzuri ambayo Bwana aliahidi kwa kiapo kwa baba zako,
19 To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
kuwafukuza kwa nguvu adui zako mbele yako kama Bwana alivyosema.
20 And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?
Siku zijazo, mtoto wako atakapokuuliza, “Ni nini maana ya masharti haya, amri na sheria hizi ambazo Bwana Mungu wako alikuagiza wewe?”
21 Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
Mwambie: “Tulikuwa watumwa wa Farao huko Misri, lakini Bwana alitutoa sisi kutoka Misri kwa mkono wenye nguvu.
22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes:
Bwana akapeleka mbele yetu ishara za miujiza na maajabu makubwa na ya kutisha mno juu ya Misri na Farao pamoja na nyumba yake yote.
23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
Lakini Mungu akatutoa huko, akatuleta na kutupa nchi hii ambayo aliwaahidi baba zetu kwa kiapo.
24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
Bwana akatuagiza tutii amri hizi zote na kumcha Bwana Mungu wetu, ili tupate kustawi na kuendelea kuwa hai kama ilivyo leo.
25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
Kama tukizitii kwa bidii amri hizi zote mbele za Bwana Mungu wetu, kama alivyotuamuru sisi, hiyo itakuwa haki yetu.”
