Numbers 10
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 “Make two trumpets of silver for yourself; you make them of beaten work, and they have been for you for the convocation of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps;
“Tengeneza tarumbeta mbili za fedha ya kufua, uzitumie kwa kuita jumuiya pamoja na wakati wa kuvunja makambi ili kuondoka.
3 and they have blown with them, and all the congregation has assembled to you at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.
Tarumbeta zote mbili zikipigwa, jumuiya yote itakusanyika mbele yako katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
4 And if they blow with one, then the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, have assembled to you;
Kama tarumbeta moja tu ikipigwa, viongozi, yaani wakuu wa koo za Israeli, ndio watakaokusanyika mbele yako.
5 and you have blown—a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.
Wakati mlio wa kujulisha hatari ukipigwa, makabila yaliyo na makambi upande wa mashariki yataondoka.
6 And you have blown—a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; they blow a shout for their journeys.
Ukisikika mlio wa pili wa jinsi hiyo, walioko kwenye makambi ya kusini wataondoka. Mlio huo wa kujulisha hatari utakuwa ishara ya kuondoka.
7 And in the assembling of the assembly you blow, and do not shout;
Ili kukusanya kusanyiko, piga tarumbeta zote, lakini siyo kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari.
8 and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been for a continuous statute to you throughout your generations.
“Wana wa Aroni, makuhani, ndio watakaopiga hizo tarumbeta. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu na kwa vizazi vijavyo.
9 And when you go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then you have shouted with the trumpets, and you have been remembered before your God YHWH, and you have been saved from your enemies.
Wakati mtakapopigana vita katika nchi yenu wenyewe dhidi ya adui anayewaonea, piga tarumbeta kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari. Ndipo utakumbukwa na Bwana Mungu wenu na kuokolewa kutoka kwa adui zenu.
10 And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in the beginnings of your months, you have also blown with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been for a memorial to you before your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”
Pia nyakati za furaha yenu, yaani sikukuu zenu zilizoamriwa na sikukuu za Mwezi Mwandamo, mtapiga tarumbeta juu ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na sadaka zenu za amani, nazo zitakuwa ukumbusho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.”
11 And it comes to pass, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud has gone up from off the Dwelling Place of the Testimony,
Katika siku ya ishirini ya mwezi wa pili wa mwaka wa pili, wingu liliinuka kutoka juu ya maskani ya Ushuhuda.
12 and the sons of Israel journey in their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud dwells in the wilderness of Paran;
Ndipo Waisraeli wakaondoka kutoka Jangwa la Sinai wakasafiri kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine mpaka wingu lilipotua katika Jangwa la Parani.
13 and they journey at first by the command of YHWH in the hand of Moses.
Waliondoka kwa mara ya kwanza kwa agizo la Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
14 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah journeys in the first [place], by their hosts, and over its host [is] Nahshon son of Amminadab.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Yuda vilitangulia kwanza chini ya alama yao. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu alikuwa kiongozi wao.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar [is] Nathaneel son of Zuar.
Nethaneli mwana wa Suari alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Isakari,
16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun [is] Eliab son of Helon.
naye Eliabu mwana wa Heloni alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Zabuloni.
17 And the Dwelling Place has been taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari have journeyed, carrying the Dwelling Place.
Ndipo Maskani iliposhushwa, nao wana wa Gershoni na wana wa Merari ambao waliibeba wakaondoka.
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben has journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host [is] Elizur son of Shedeur.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Reubeni vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri alikuwa kiongozi wao.
19 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon [is] Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
Shelumieli mwana wa Surishadai aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Simeoni,
20 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad [is] Eliasaph son of Deuel.
naye Eliasafu mwana wa Deueli aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Gadi.
21 And the Kohathites have journeyed, carrying the Dwelling Place, and the [others] have raised up the Dwelling Place until their coming in.
Kisha Wakohathi wakaondoka, wakichukua vitu vitakatifu. Maskani ilikuwa isimamishwe kabla wao hawajafika.
22 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim has journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host [is] Elishama son of Ammihud.
Vikosi vya kambi ya Efraimu vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi alikuwa kiongozi wao.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh [is] Gamalial son of Pedahzur.
Gamalieli mwana wa Pedasuri aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Manase,
24 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin [is] Abidan son of Gideoni.
naye Abidani mwana wa Gideoni alikuwa kiongozi wa kikosi cha kabila la Benyamini.
25 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan has journeyed (rearward to all the camps), by their hosts, and over its host [is] Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
Mwishowe, kama kikosi cha nyuma cha ulinzi wa vikosi vyote, vikosi vya kambi ya Dani viliondoka chini ya alama yao. Ahiezeri mwana wa Amishadai alikuwa kiongozi wao.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher [is] Pagiel son of Ocran.
Pagieli mwana wa Okrani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Asheri,
27 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali [is] Ahira son of Enan.
naye Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Naftali.
28 These [are] the journeys of the sons of Israel by their hosts when they journey.
Huu ndio ulikuwa utaratibu wa kuondoka wa vikosi vya Waisraeli walipokuwa wanaondoka.
29 And Moses says to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, “We are journeying to the place of which YHWH has said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to you, for YHWH has spoken good concerning Israel.”
Basi Mose akamwambia Hobabu mwana wa Reueli, Mmidiani, mkwewe Mose, “Tunaondoka kwenda mahali ambapo Bwana amesema ‘Nitawapa ninyi mahali hapo.’ Twende pamoja nasi tutakutendea mema, kwa maana Bwana ameahidi mambo mema kwa Israeli.”
30 And he says to him, “I do not go; but I go to my land and to my family.”
Akajibu, “Hapana, sitakwenda; nitarudi kwenye nchi yangu mwenyewe na watu wangu mwenyewe.”
31 And he says, “Please do not forsake us, because you have known our encamping in the wilderness, and you have been to us for eyes;
Lakini Mose akasema, “Tafadhali usituache. Wewe unajua mahali ambapo yatupasa kupiga kambi jangwani, nawe unaweza kuwa macho yetu.
32 and it has come to pass, when you go with us—indeed, it has come to pass—that good which YHWH does kindly with us, we have done it kindly to you.”
Ikiwa utafuatana nasi, tutashirikiana nawe mema yoyote tutakayopewa na Bwana.”
33 And they journey from the mountain of YHWH a journey of three days; and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is journeying before them [for] the journey of three days, to spy out a resting place for them;
Hivyo waliondoka kutoka mlima wa Bwana, nao wakasafiri kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la Agano la Bwana liliwatangulia kwa zile siku tatu ili kuwatafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
34 and the cloud of YHWH [is] on them by day, in their journeying from the camp.
Wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu yao wakati wa mchana walipoondoka kambini.
35 And it comes to pass in the journeying of the Ark, that Moses says, “Rise, O YHWH, and Your enemies are scattered, and those hating You flee from Your presence.”
Wakati wowote Sanduku lilipoondoka, Mose alisema, “Ee Bwana, inuka! Watesi wako na watawanyike; adui zako na wakimbie mbele zako.”
36 And in its resting he says, “Return, O YHWH, [to] the myriads, the thousands of Israel.”
Wakati wowote Sanduku liliposimama, alisema, “Ee Bwana, rudi, kwa maelfu ya Waisraeli wasiohesabika.”
