Leviticus 26
1 “You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.
Msijitengenezee sanamu, wala msisimamishe kinyago cha kuchonga au nguzo ya jiwe ya kuabudia, na msisimamisha sura ya jiwe la kuchonga katika nchi yenu mtayoiinamia, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
2 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
Ni lazima muitunze Sabato Yangu na kupaheshimu patakatifu pangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
3 If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
Iwapo mtatembea katika sheria zangu na kuzishika amri zangu na kuzitii,
4 then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its fruit;
Nami nitawapa ninyi mvua katika majira yake; nayo nchi itatoa mazao yake, na miti ya shambani itatoa matunda yake.
5 and the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
Upuraji wenu utaendelea hata wakati wa mavuno ya zabibu, na mavuno ya zabibu yataendelea mpaka majira ya kupada mbegu. Nanyi mtakula mkate na kushiba na kuishi salama mahali mtakapofanya mji wenu katika nchi.
6 And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.
Nitawapa amani; mtalala bila ya kitu chochote kuwatia hofu. Nitawaondolea mbali wanyama waliohatari katika nchi, na upanga hautapita katika nchi yenu.
7 And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
Mtawafukuza adui zenu, nao wataanguka mbele yenu kwa upanga.
8 and five of you have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
Watu wenu watano watafukuza adui mia moja, na watu wenu mia moja watafukuza adui elfu kumi; adui zenu wataanguka mbele yenu kwa upanga.
9 And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
Nitawatazama kwa upendeleo na kuwafanya nyinyi mzae na kuwazidisha nyinyi.
10 and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
Mtakula chakula kilichotunzwa ghalani kwa muda mrefu. Mtayaondoa mazao yaliyohifadhiwa ghalani kwa sababu mtahitaji ghala kwa ajili ya mavuno mapya.
11 And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
Nitaliweka hema langu katikati yenu, nami stachukizwa nanyi.
12 and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;
Nitatembea miongoni mwenu nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu, nanyi mtakuwa watu wangu.
13 I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.
Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliyewaleta nyinyi kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili kwamba msingeendelea kuwa watumwa wao. Nimevunja makomeo ya nira yenu na nikawafanya mtembee kwa kunyooka.
14 And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
Lakini ikiwa hamtanisikiliza mimi,
15 and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking My covenant—
na kutozitii amri hizi, na ikiwa mtayakataa maagizo yangu, na kuzichukia sana sheria zangu, kiasi kwamba hamtaweza kuzitii amri zangu zote, lakini mkalivunja agano langu—
16 I also do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;
—kama mtafanya mambo haya, Nami nitafanya hili kwenu: Nitasababisha hofu juu yenu, maradhi na homa kali itakayoangamiza macho na kuondoa uhai wenu. Mtapanda mbegu zenu kwa hasara, kwa sababu adui zenu watakula mazao yake.
17 and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.
Nitakaza uso wangu dhidi yenu, na mtashindwa na adui zenu. Watu wanaowachukia watatawala juu yenu, na mtakimbia hata kama hakutakuwa na yeyote anayewafukuza.
18 And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;
Iwapo hamtasikiliza maagizo yangu, Nami niwataadhibu vikali mara saba kwa dhambi zenu.
19 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
Nami nitakivunja kiburi chenu katika uwezo wenu. Nitaifanya mbingu juu yenu iwe kama chuma na nchi yenu kama shaba.
20 and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.
Nguvu yenu itatumika bure, kwa sababu nchi yenu haitazalisha mavuno yake, na miti yenu katika nchi haitazaa matunda yake.
21 And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, according to your sins,
Iwapo mtataenenda kinyume changu na hamtanisikiliza mimi, nitaleta mapigo mara saba zaidi juu yenu, sawasawa na dhambi zenu.
22 and sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
Nitatuma wanyama mapori hatari dhidi yenu, ambao watawaibia watoto wenu, kuangamiza mifugo yenu na kuwafanya mwe wachache katika idadi yenu. Hivyo barabara zenu zitakuwa nyeupe.
23 And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
Endapo pamoja na mambo haya kuwapata lakini msiyakubali marekebisho yangu na mkazidi kuenenda katika upinzani dhidi yangu,
24 then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
ndipo nami pia nitaenenda kinyume chenu, na Mimi mwenyewe nitawaadhibu mara saba kwa sababu ya dhambi zenu.
25 and I have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an enemy.
Nitaleta upanga juu yenu utakaowaadhibu kwa kisasi kwa sababu ya kulivunja agano. Nanyi mtajikusanya kwenye miji yenu, Nami nitatuma humo maafa miongoni mwenu, na mtachukuliwa mikononi mwa adui yenu.
26 In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.
Nitakapokomesha mgao wa chakula, wanawake kumi wataweza kuoka mkate wako katika chombo kimoja cha kuokea na watakugawia mkate wako kwa uzani. Nanyi mtakula lakini hamtatoshelezwa.
27 And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
Endapo hamtanisikiliza pamoja na mambo haya kuwapata, lakini mkazidi kuenenda kinyume na mimi,
28 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
kisha nami nitakwenda kinyume nanyi katika hasira, Nami nitawaadhibu hata mara saba kulingana na wingi wa dhambi zenu.
29 And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
Ndipo mtakapokula nyama ya wana wenu; mtakula nyama ya binti zenu.
30 And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;
Nitapaangamiza mahali penu pa juu, kuziangusha chini madhabahu zenu za kufukizia uvumba, na kuzitupa maiti zenu juu ya maiti ya sanamu zenu, na Mimi mwenyewe nitawadharau nyinyi.
31 and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
Nitaigeuza miji yennu kuwa magofu na kupaharibu patakatifu penu. Nami sitapendezwa na harufu nzuri ya matoleo yenu.
32 and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.
Nami nitaiharibu nchi. Adui zenu watakaokuwa wakiishi humo watashtushwa na uharibifu huo.
33 And I scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.
Nami nitawatawanya nyinyi katika mataifa, na nitaufuta upanga wangu na kuwafuatia. Nchi yenu itatelekezwa, na miji yenu itakuwa magofu.
34 Then the land enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;
Nayo nchi itazifurahia Sabato zake kwa kuwa itakuwa imetelekezwa na ninyi mkiwa katika nchi za daui zenu. Katika nyakati hizo, nchi itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake.
35 it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
Maadamu itakuwa imetelekezwa, itakuwa na pumziko, ambalo litakuwa ni pumziko iliyolikosa pamoja na Sabato zenu mlipokuwa mkiishi ndani yake.
36 And those who are left of you—I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
Na kwa wale watakoachwa humo kwenye nchi za adui zenu, Nitatuma hofu ndani ya mioyo yenu kiasi kwamba hata kama ni maelfu ya majani tu yatakapopeperushwa katika upepo yatawaogofyeni. Nanyi mtaanguka hata kama hakutakuwa na awafukuzaye.
37 And they have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,
Mtajikwaa kila mmoja juu ya mwenzake kama vile mlikuwa mkiukimbia upanga, hata kama hakutakuwa na awafukuzaye nyinyi. Hamtakuwa na nguvu ya kusimama mbele ya daui zenu.
38 and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
Nanyi mtaangamia miongoni mwa mataifa, nayo nchi ya adui zenu yenyewe itawamezani.
39 And those who are left of you—they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they consume away with them.
Wale watakosalia miongoni mwenu watapotelea katika dhambi zao, huko kwenye nchi za adui zenu, na kwa sababu ya dhambi zao, na kwa sababu ya dhambi za baba zao watapotelea mbali pia.
40 And [if] they have confessed their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also that they have walked with Me in opposition,
Lakini kama watakiri dhambi zao na dhambi ya baba zao, na usaliti wao ambao kwao hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu, pia na mwenendo wao dhidi yangu—
41 when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity—
ambao ulinisababisha kuwa kinyume nao, na kuwaleta katika nchi ya adui zao—iwapo mioyo yao isiyotahiriwa itanynyekezwa,
42 then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and I remember the land.
na iwapo wataikubali adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, nami nitalikumbuka agano langu na Yakobo, agano langu na Isaka, agano langu na Abrahamu; Pia, nitaikumbuka nchi.
43 And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes,
Nchi itakayotelekezwa na wao, hivyo itapendezwa na Sabato zake inapobaki imetelekezwa na wao. Itawapasa kulipa hatia kwa dhambi zao kwa sababu ni wao wenyewe ndiyo walioyakataa maagizo yangu na kuzichukia sheria zangu.
44 and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] their God YHWH—
Lakini pamoja na haya yote, watapokuwa katika nchi ya adui zao, Mimi stawakataa wao, wala sitawachukia ili kuwaangamiza kabisa na kulifutilia mbali agano langu nilililoagana nao, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wao.
45 then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] YHWH.”
Bali kwa ajili yao, nitalikumbuka agano langu na baba zao, niliowaleta kutoka katika nchi ya Misri machoni pa mataifa, ili niwe Mungu wao. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.”
46 These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
Hizi ndizo amri, hukumu, na sheria ambazo Yahweh alifanya baina yake na watu wa Israeli kwenye Mlima Sinai kwa kupitia Musa.
