Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses calls to all Israel and says to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I am speaking in your ears today, and you have learned them and have observed to do them.
Mose akawaita Israeli wote, akawaambia: Ee Israeli, sikilizeni amri na sheria ninazowatangazia leo. Jifunzeni, na mwe na hakika kuzifuata.
2 Our God YHWH made a covenant with us in Horeb;
Bwana Mungu wetu alifanya Agano nasi katika mlima wa Horebu.
3 YHWH has not made this covenant with our fathers, but with us, we—these here—all of us living today.
Si kwamba Bwana alifanya Agano na baba zetu, bali alifanya nasi, nasi sote ambao tuko hai hapa leo.
4 YHWH has spoken with you face to face on the mountain, out of the midst of the fire;
Bwana alisema nanyi uso kwa uso kutoka moto juu ya mlima.
5 I am standing between YHWH and you, at that time, to declare the word of YHWH to you, for you have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and you have not gone up into the mountain; for [He] says:
(Wakati huo nilisimama kati ya Bwana na ninyi kuwatangazia neno la Bwana, kwa sababu mliogopa ule moto, nanyi hamkupanda mlimani.) Naye Mungu alisema:
6 I, YHWH, [am] your God who has brought you out from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants.
“Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa.
7 You have no other gods in My presence.
Usiwe na miungu mingine ila mimi.
8 You do not make a carved image for yourself, any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth.
Usijitengenezee sanamu katika umbo la kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni au duniani chini au ndani ya maji.
9 You do not bow yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, your God YHWH, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, and on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,
Usivisujudie wala kuviabudu; kwa kuwa Mimi, Bwana Mungu wako, ni Mungu mwenye wivu, ninayewaadhibu watoto kwa ajili ya dhambi za baba zao hadi kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wanichukiao,
10 and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and of those keeping My commands.
lakini ninaonyesha upendo kwa maelfu ya vizazi vya wale wanipendao na kuzishika amri zangu.
11 You do not take up the Name of your God YHWH for a vain thing, for YHWH does not acquit him who takes up His Name for a vain thing.
Usilitaje bure jina la Bwana Mungu wako, kwa kuwa Bwana hataacha kumhesabia hatia yeye alitajaye jina lake bure.
12 Observe the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as your God YHWH has commanded you;
Adhimisha siku ya Sabato na kuiweka takatifu, kama Bwana Mungu wako alivyokuagiza.
13 six days you labor and have done all your work,
Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na kutenda shughuli zako zote.
14 and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and your ox, and your donkey, and all your livestock, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that your manservant and your handmaid rest like yourself.
Lakini siku ya Saba ni Sabato kwa Bwana, Mungu wako. Siku hiyo hutafanya kazi yoyote, wewe, wala mwanao au binti yako, wala mtumishi wa kiume au mtumishi wa kike, wala ngʼombe wako, punda wako au mnyama wako yeyote, wala mgeni aliyeko malangoni mwako, ili kwamba mtumishi wako wa kiume na wa kike wapate kupumzika kama wewe.
15 And you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt, and your God YHWH brings you out from there by a strong hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore your God YHWH has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Kumbuka mlikuwa watumwa huko Misri, na Bwana Mungu wenu aliwatoa huko kwa mkono wenye nguvu na kwa mkono ulionyooshwa. Kwa hiyo Bwana Mungu wako amekuagiza kuiadhimisha siku ya Sabato.
16 Honor your father and your mother, as your God YHWH has commanded you, so that your days are prolonged, and so that it is well with you on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you.
Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Bwana Mungu wako alivyokuagiza, ili siku zako zipate kuwa nyingi na kufanikiwa katika nchi Bwana Mungu wako anayokupa.
17 You do not murder.
Usiue.
18 You do not commit adultery.
Usizini.
19 You do not steal.
Usiibe.
20 You do not answer [with] a false testimony against your neighbor.
Usimshuhudie jirani yako uongo.
21 You do not desire your neighbor’s wife, nor do you covet your neighbor’s house, his field, and his manservant, and his handmaid, his ox, and his donkey, and anything which [is] your neighbor’s.
Usitamani mke wa jirani yako. Usitamani nyumba ya jirani yako au shamba lake, mtumishi wake wa kiume au wa kike, ngʼombe au punda wake, wala kitu chochote cha jirani yako.”
22 YHWH has spoken these words to all your assembly in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, [and] of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, [with] a great voice; and He has not added; and He writes them on two tablets of stone and gives them to me.
Hizi ndizo amri alizozitangaza Bwana kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lenu lote huko mlimani kutoka kwenye moto, wingu na giza nene, wala hakuongeza chochote zaidi. Kisha akaziandika juu ya vibao viwili vya mawe, naye akanipa mimi.
23 And it comes to pass, as you hear the voice out of the midst of the darkness and of the mountain burning with fire, that you come near to me, all [the] heads of your tribes and your elderly,
Mliposikia sauti kutoka kwenye giza, mlima ulipokuwa ukiwaka moto, viongozi wenu wote wa makabila yenu na wazee wenu walinijia mimi.
24 and say, Behold, our God YHWH has showed us His glory and His greatness; and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God speaks with man—and he has lived.
Nanyi mkasema, “Bwana Mungu wetu ametuonyesha utukufu na enzi yake, nasi tumesikia sauti yake kutoka kwenye moto. Leo tumeona kwamba mwanadamu anaweza kuishi hata kama Mungu akizungumza naye.
25 And now, why do we die? For this great fire consumes us if we add to hear the voice of our God YHWH anymore—then we have died.
Lakini sasa, kwa nini tufe? Moto huu mkubwa utatuteketeza sisi na tutakufa kama tukiendelea kusikia sauti ya Bwana Mungu wetu zaidi.
26 For who of all flesh [is] he who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us, and lives?
Ni mtu yupi mwenye mwili ambaye amewahi kuisikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza kutoka kwenye moto, kama sisi tulivyoisikia, naye akaishi?
27 Draw near and hear all that which our God YHWH says, and you, you speak to us all that which our God YHWH speaks to you, and we have listened and done it.
Sogea karibu usikie yale yote asemayo Bwana Mungu wetu. Kisha utuambie chochote kile ambacho Bwana Mungu wetu anakuambia. Tutasikiliza na kutii.”
28 And YHWH hears the voice of your words in your speaking to me, and YHWH says to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you; they have done well [in] all that they have spoken.
Bwana aliwasikia wakati mlipozungumza nami, na Bwana akaniambia, “Nimesikia kile hawa watu walichokuambia. Kila kitu walichokisema ni kizuri.
29 O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me and to keep My commands [for] all the days, that it may be well with them and with their sons for all time!
Laiti kama mioyo yao ingekuwa na mwelekeo wa kuniogopa na kuzishika amri zangu zote daima, ili kwamba wafanikiwe wao pamoja na watoto wao milele!
30 Go, say to them, Return for yourselves, to your tents;
“Nenda uwaambie warudi kwenye mahema yao.
31 and you, stand here with Me, and let Me speak to you all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which you teach them, and they have done [them] in the land which I am giving to them to possess it.
Lakini wewe baki hapa pamoja nami ili niweze kukupa maagizo yote, amri na sheria ambazo utawafundisha wazifuate katika nchi ninayokwenda kuwapa waimiliki.”
32 And you have observed to do as your God YHWH has commanded you, you do not turn aside [to] the right or left;
Hivyo kuweni waangalifu kuyafanya yale Bwana Mungu wenu aliyowaagiza; msigeuke upande wa kuume wala wa kushoto.
33 in all the way which your God YHWH has commanded you—walk, so that you live, and [it is] well with you, and you have prolonged days in the land which you possess.”
Fuateni yale yote ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu aliwaagiza, ili mpate kuishi, kustawi na kuziongeza siku zenu katika nchi mtakayoimiliki.
