Exodus 34

1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I have written on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets which you have broken;

Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Kata mbao mbili za mawe kama zile za awali. Nitaandika kwenye hizi mbao za mawe maneno yaliyo kuwa kwenye mbao za mawe za mwanzo, mbao za mawe ulizo zivunja.

2 and be prepared at morning, and you have come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and have stood before Me there, on the top of the mountain,

Kuwa tayari asubui na uje Mlima Sinai, na uje mbele zangu juu ya mlima.

3 and no man comes up with you, and also no man is seen in all the mountain, also the flock and the herd do not feed toward the front of that mountain.”

Hakuna atakaye kuja nawe. Usiruhusu mtu yeyote aonekana popote kwenye mlima. Hakuna kundi la mifugo wanao ruhusiwa ata kula mbele ya mlima.”

4 And he hews two tablets of stone like the first, and Moses rises early in the morning, and goes up to Mount Sinai as YHWH commanded him, and takes [the] two tablets of stone in his hand.

Hivyo Musa akakata mbao mbili za mawe kama za mwanzo, na akaamka asubui mapema na kwenda juu ya Mlima Sinai, kama Yahweh alivyo muelekeza. Musa alibeba mbao za mawe mikononi mwake.

5 And YHWH comes down in a cloud, and stations Himself with him there, and calls in the Name of YHWH,

Yahweh akaja chini katika wingu na akasima mbele za Musa, na akatamka jina “Yahweh.”

6 and YHWH passes over before his face, and calls: “YHWH, YHWH God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,

Yahweh akapita kwake na kukiri, “Yahweh, Yahweh, Mungu ni wa rehema na wa neema, sio mwepesi wa hasira, na anadumu katika uwaminifu wa agano na uadilifu,

7 keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons and on sons’ sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation].”

ukishika uaminifu wa agano kwa vizazi maelfu, ukisamehe maasi, makosa, na dhambi. Lakini hamsafishi mwenye hatia. Ataleta adhabu ya dhambi za baba kwa watoto wao na watoto wa watoto wao, kwa kizazi cha tatu na hadi cha nne.”

8 And Moses hurries, and bows to the earth, and pays respect,

Musa haraka akainamisha kichwa chake kwenye ardhi na kuabudu.

9 and says, “Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, O my Lord, please let my Lord go in our midst (for it [is] a stiff-necked people), and you have forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and have inherited us.”

Kisha akasema, “Kama sasa nimepata upendeleo machoni pako, Bwana wangu, tafadhali nenda pamoja nasi, kwa kuwa hawa watu ni wa korofi. Samehe maasi yetu na dhambi zetu, na utuchukuwe kama urithi wako.”

10 And He says, “Behold, I am making a covenant. I do wonders before all your people, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst you [are in] have seen the work of YHWH, for it [is] fearful—that which I am doing with you.

Yahweh akasema, “Ona, ninakaribu kufanya agano. Mbele za watu wako, nitafanya maajabu ambayo hayajawai kufanywa duniani kote wala kwenye taifa lote. Watu wote miongoni mwako wataona matendo yangu, kwa kuwa ni kitu cha hofu ninacho fanya kwako.

11 Observe for yourself that which I am commanding you today. Behold, I am casting out from before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;

Tii amri zangu leo. Ninawaondoa mbele yako Waamori, Wakanani, Wahivi, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi.

12 take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst;

Kuwa mwanglifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi unayo kwenda, au wata kuwa mtego kwako.

13 for you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down its Asherim;

Badala yake, lazima uvunje madhabahu zao, ponda nguzo zao za mawe, na kukata nguzo zao za Ashera.

14 for you do not bow yourselves to another god—for YHWH, whose Name [is] Zealous, is a zealous God.

Kwa kuwa wewe haupaswi kumuabudu mungu mwingine, maana Yahweh, ambaye jina lake ni Uwivu, ni Mungu wa uwivu.

15 Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone whoring after their gods, and have sacrificed to their gods, and [one] has called to you, and you have eaten of his sacrifice,

Hivyo kuwa mwangalifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi, kwa kuwa wanajifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na wanatoa dhabihu kwa miungu yao. Kisha mmoja wao ata kukaribisha na wewe utakula baadhi ya dhabihu zake,

16 and you have taken of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters have gone whoring after their gods, and have caused your sons to go whoring after their gods;

na kisha utachukuwa baadhi ya mabinti zake kwa wanao, na mabinti wake watafanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na watafanya wanao kufanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao.

17 you do not make a molten god for yourself.

Usifanye Miungu ya chuma ya kuyayusha.

18 You keep the Celebration of Unleavened Things; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things, as I have commanded you, at an appointed time, [in] the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.

Laziam ushike Sherehe ya Mkate Usiotiwachachu. Kama nilivyo kuamuru, lazima ule mkate usio na hamira kwa siku saba kwa muda uliotengwa wa mwezi wa Abibu, maana nikatika mwezi wa Abibu ulitoka Misri.

19 All opening a womb [are] Mine, and every firstling of your livestock born a male, [whether] ox or sheep;

Wazaliwa wote ni mwangu, ata mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa mifugo, yote ya ng'ombe na kondoo.

20 and you ransom the firstling of a donkey with a lamb; and if you do not ransom, then you have beheaded it; you ransom every firstborn of your sons, and they do not appear before Me empty.

Lazima umnunue tena mzaliwa kwanza wa punda kwa kondoo, lakini usipo mnunua tena, kisha uivunje shingo yake. Lazima ununue tena wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa wanao. Hakuna ata mmoja atakye kuja kwangu mikono mitupu.

21 [For] six days you work, and on the seventh day you rest; in plowing-time and in harvest you rest.

Utafanya kazi kwa siku sita, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika. Ata wakati wakilimo na wa mavuno, lazima upumzike.

22 And you observe [the] Celebration of Weeks for yourself, of [the] first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the Celebration of Ingathering at the revolution of the year.

Lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Majuma kwa mazao ya kwanza ya mavuno ya ngano, na lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Makusanyo mwisho wa mwaka.

23 Three times in a year all your males appear before the Lord YHWH, God of Israel;

Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wenu wote watajitokeza kwa Bwana Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.

24 for I dispossess nations from before you, and have enlarged your border, and no man desires your land in your going up to appear before your God YHWH three times in a year.

Kwa kuwa nitaondoa mataifa mbele yenu na kutanua mipika. Hakuna atakaye tamani kuwa na ardhi yenu kama yao utakapo toka mbele za Yahweh mara tatu kwa mwaka.

25 You do not slaughter the blood of My sacrifice with a fermented thing; and the sacrifice of the Celebration of the Passover does not remain until morning.

Hautatoa damu ya dhabihu yangu na hamira yeyote, wala nyama yeyote kutoka dhabihu za Sherehe ya Pasaka kubaki hadi asubui.

26 You bring the first of the first-fruits of the land into the house of your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”

Lazima ulete matunda ya kwanza yalio bora kutoka nyumbani kwako. Usimchemshe mbuzi mtoto katika maziwa ya mama yake.”

27 And YHWH says to Moses, “Write these words for yourself, for I have made a covenant with you and with Israel according to the tenor of these words.”

Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Andika chini haya maneno, kwa kuwa nimejiahidi haya maneno niliyo yasema, na nimefanya agano kwako na Israeli.”

28 And he is there with YHWH forty days and forty nights; he has not eaten bread, and he has not drunk water; and he writes on the tablets the matters of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

Musa alikuwa huko na Yahweh kwa siku arobaini na usiku; hakula chakula chochote wala kunywa maji yeyote. Aliandika katika mbao maneno ya agano, Amri kumi.

29 And it comes to pass, when Moses is coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mountain), that Moses has not known that the skin of his face has shone in His speaking with him,

Musa alipo shuka chini ya Mlima Sinai na mbao mbili za agano za ushuhuda mikononi mwake, hakujua kuwa ngozi ya kuwa uso wake ulikuwa wa'ngaa akizungumza na Mungu.

30 and Aaron sees—all the sons of Israel also—Moses, and behold, the skin of his face has shone, and they are afraid of coming near to him.

Wakati Aruni na Waisraeli walipo muona Musa, ngozi ya uso wake ulikuwa wa ng'aa, na waliogopa kuja karibu yake.

31 And Moses calls to them, and Aaron and all the princes in the congregation return to him, and Moses speaks to them;

Lakini Musa aliwaita, na Aruni na viongozi wa jamii wakaja kwake. Kisha Musa akasema nao.

32 and afterward all the sons of Israel have come near, and he charges them with all that YHWH has spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

Baada ya haya, watu wote wa Israeli wakaja kwa Musa, na akawambia amri zote Yahweh alizo mpa katika Mlima Sinai.

33 And Moses finishes speaking with them, and puts a veil on his face;

Musa alipo maliza kuzungumza nao, alifunika uso wake kwa kitambaa.

34 and in the going in of Moses before YHWH to speak with Him, he turns aside the veil until his coming out; and he has come out and has spoken to the sons of Israel that which he is commanded;

Wakati Musa alipoenda mbele za Yahweh kusema naye, aliondoa kitambaa, hadi alipo toka. Alipo toka, aliwaambia Waisraeli alicho amriwa kusema.

35 and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses has shone, and Moses has put back the veil on his face until his going in to speak with Him.

Waisraeli walipo muona Musa ana'ngaa uso, alirudisha kitambaa tena usoni mpaka alipokuwa anaenda kuongea na Yahweh.
