Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep the whole commandment which I command you this day.
Mose na wazee wa Israeli wakawaagiza watu: “Yashikeni maagizo haya yote ninayowaagiza leo.
2 And it shall be on the day when ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set up for thyself great stones, and cover them with plaster;
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Mto Yordani na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, msimamishe mawe makubwa na mkayatie lipu.
3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, so soon as thou art passed over; in order that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey; as the Lord, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee.
Andikeni juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii wakati mtakapokuwa mmevuka na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama vile Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 And it shall be so soon as ye are gone over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount 'Ebal; and thou shalt cover them with plaster.
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Yordani, simamisheni mawe haya juu ya Mlima Ebali, kama ninavyowaagiza leo, mkayatie lipu.
5 And thou shalt build there an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
Huko mjengeeni Bwana Mungu wenu madhabahu, madhabahu ya mawe. Msitumie kifaa chochote cha chuma juu yake.
6 Of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of the Lord thy God; and thou shalt offer thereupon burnt-offerings unto the Lord thy God;
Jengeni madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wenu kwa mawe ya shambani, na mtoe sadaka za kuteketezwa juu yake kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
7 And thou shalt slay peace-offerings, and eat [them] there; and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God.
Toeni sadaka za amani juu yake, mkizila na kufurahia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
8 And thou shalt write upon the statues all the words of this law, very plainly.
Nanyi mtaandika maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi sana juu ya mawe haya ambayo mmesimamisha.”
9 And Moses with the priests, the Levites, spoke unto all Israel, saying, Be attentive, and hearken, O Israel! this day art thou become a people unto the Lord thy God.
Kisha Mose na makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, wakawaambia Israeli wote, “Nyamaza ee Israeli, sikiliza! Sasa umekuwa taifa la Bwana Mungu wako.
10 Thou shalt therefore hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Mtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kufuata amri zake na maagizo ninayokupa leo.”
11 And Moses commanded the people on the same day, saying,
Siku ile ile Mose akawaagiza watu:
12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizzim to bless the people, when ye are come over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
Mtakapovuka Mto Yordani, makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu kubariki watu: Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari, Yosefu na Benyamini.
13 And these shall stand for the sake of the curse upon mount 'Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Ebali kwa kutamka laana: Reubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dani na Naftali.
14 And the Levites shall commence, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
Nao Walawi watawasomea watu wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
