Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where the LORD your God has driven you,
Vitu hivi vitakavyokuja juu yako, baraka na laana nilizoziweka mbele yako, na utakapozirejea akilini miongoni mwa mataifa mengine ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako kawapeleka,
2 And shall return unto the LORD your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all of your heart, and with all your soul;
na utakapomrudia Yahwe Mungu wako na kutii sauti yake, na kufuata yote ambayo nayokuamuru leo – wewe na watoto wako – kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote,
3 That then the LORD your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, where the LORD your God has scattered you.
kisha Yahwe Mungu wako atageuza kutekwa kwako na kukuhurumia; atawarudisha na kuwakusanya kutoka kwa watu wote ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako aliwatawanya.
4 If any of your be driven out unto the utmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD your God gather you, and from thence will he fetch you:
Iwapo yeyote ya watu walio uhamishoni wapo katika sehemu za mbali sana chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Yawhe Mungu wako atawakusanya, na kutoka huko atawarejesha.
5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
Yahwe Mungu wako atawaleta katika nchi ambayo mababu zenu walimiliki, nanyi mtaimiliki tena; atawatendea mema na kuwazidisha zaidi ya alivyofanya kwa mababu zenu.
6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the LORD your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
Yahwe Mungu wako atatahiri moyo wako na moyo wa uzao wako, ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote, ili kwamba uweze kuishi.
7 And the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate you, which persecuted you.
Yahwe Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote kwa maadui zako na kwa wote wakuchukiayo, wale waliokutesa.
8 And you shall return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
Utarudi na kutii sauti ya Yahwe, nawe utatenda amri zake zote ambazo ninakuamuru leo.
9 And the LORD your God will make you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers:
Yahwe Mungu wako atakufanikisha katika kazi yote ya mkono wako, katika matunda ya mwili wako, katika matunda ya mifugo yako, na katika matunda ya nchi yako, kwa mafanikio; kwa maana Yahwe atafurahia tena mafanikio yako, kama alivyofurahia kwa baba zako.
10 If you shall hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn unto the LORD your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul.
Atafanya hivi iwapo utatii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ili kuzishika amri zake na kanuni zake zilizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki cha sheria, iwapo utamgeukia Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off.
Kwa maana amri hii nayokuamuru leo sio ngumu sana, wala haipo nje ya uwezo wako kufikia.
12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Haipo mbinguni, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atayekwenda kwa ajili yetu mbinguni na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kutekeleza?”
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Wala haipo ng’ambo ya bahari, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atakwenda ng’ambo ya pili ya bahari kwa ajili yetu na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kuifanya?”.
14 But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.
Lakini neno lipo karibu sana kwako, katika kinywa chako na moyo wako, ili uweze kutekeleza.
15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
Tazama, leo nimeweka mbele yako uzima na wema, mauti na uovu.
16 In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it.
Iwapo utatii maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ambayo ninakuamuru leo kumpenda Yahwe Mungu wako, kutembea katika njia zake, na kushikilia amri zake, kanuni zake, na sheria zake, utaishi na kuongezeka, na Yahwe Mungu wako atakubariki katika nchi ambayo unaingia kumiliki.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
Lakini moyo wako ukigeuka, na usisikilize na badala yake unavutwa na kusujudia miungu mingine na kuwaabudu,
18 I denounce unto you this day, that all of you shall surely perish, and that all of you shall not prolong your days upon the land, where you pass over Jordan to go to possess it.
basi leo nakutangazia kwako ya kwamba hakika utaangamia; siku zako hazitaongezeka katika nchi unayoipita juu ya Yordani kuingia na kumiliki.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
Naziita mbingu na nchi kushuhudia dhidi yako ya kuwa nimeweka mbele yako uzima na mauti, baraka na laana; kwa hiyo chagua uzima ili kwamba uweze kuishi, wewe na uzao wako.
20 That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Fanya hivi ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako, kutii sauti yake, na kung’ang’ania kwake. Kwa maana yeye ni uzima wako na urefu wa siku zako; fanya hivi ili kwamba uweze kuishi katika nchi ambayo Yahwe aliapa kwa mababu zako, kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isaka, na kwa Yakobo, kuwapatia.
