Deuteronomy 30
1 It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where YHWH your God has driven you,
Vitu hivi vitakavyokuja juu yako, baraka na laana nilizoziweka mbele yako, na utakapozirejea akilini miongoni mwa mataifa mengine ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako kawapeleka,
2 and shall return to YHWH your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
na utakapomrudia Yahwe Mungu wako na kutii sauti yake, na kufuata yote ambayo nayokuamuru leo – wewe na watoto wako – kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote,
3 that then YHWH your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where YHWH your God has scattered you.
kisha Yahwe Mungu wako atageuza kutekwa kwako na kukuhurumia; atawarudisha na kuwakusanya kutoka kwa watu wote ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako aliwatawanya.
4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest horizon, from there will YHWH your God gather you, and from there he will bring you back:
Iwapo yeyote ya watu walio uhamishoni wapo katika sehemu za mbali sana chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Yawhe Mungu wako atawakusanya, na kutoka huko atawarejesha.
5 and YHWH your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
Yahwe Mungu wako atawaleta katika nchi ambayo mababu zenu walimiliki, nanyi mtaimiliki tena; atawatendea mema na kuwazidisha zaidi ya alivyofanya kwa mababu zenu.
6 YHWH your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your descendants, to love YHWH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
Yahwe Mungu wako atatahiri moyo wako na moyo wa uzao wako, ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote, ili kwamba uweze kuishi.
7 YHWH your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
Yahwe Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote kwa maadui zako na kwa wote wakuchukiayo, wale waliokutesa.
8 You shall return and obey the voice of YHWH, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
Utarudi na kutii sauti ya Yahwe, nawe utatenda amri zake zote ambazo ninakuamuru leo.
9 YHWH your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your ground, and in the fruit of your livestock, for YHWH will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers;
Yahwe Mungu wako atakufanikisha katika kazi yote ya mkono wako, katika matunda ya mwili wako, katika matunda ya mifugo yako, na katika matunda ya nchi yako, kwa mafanikio; kwa maana Yahwe atafurahia tena mafanikio yako, kama alivyofurahia kwa baba zako.
10 if you shall obey the voice of YHWH your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to YHWH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Atafanya hivi iwapo utatii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ili kuzishika amri zake na kanuni zake zilizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki cha sheria, iwapo utamgeukia Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.
Kwa maana amri hii nayokuamuru leo sio ngumu sana, wala haipo nje ya uwezo wako kufikia.
12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up into heaven for us, and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, that we may obey it?"
Haipo mbinguni, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atayekwenda kwa ajili yetu mbinguni na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kutekeleza?”
13 And it is not in the deep of the sea, that you should say, "Who will go down into the deep of the sea for us, and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may obey it?"
Wala haipo ng’ambo ya bahari, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atakwenda ng’ambo ya pili ya bahari kwa ajili yetu na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kuifanya?”.
14 But the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart and in your hand, so that you can do it.
Lakini neno lipo karibu sana kwako, katika kinywa chako na moyo wako, ili uweze kutekeleza.
15 Look, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil.
Tazama, leo nimeweka mbele yako uzima na wema, mauti na uovu.
16 If you obey the commandments of YHWH your God that I command you this day to love YHWH your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and YHWH your God will bless you in the land where you are going to possess it.
Iwapo utatii maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ambayo ninakuamuru leo kumpenda Yahwe Mungu wako, kutembea katika njia zake, na kushikilia amri zake, kanuni zake, na sheria zake, utaishi na kuongezeka, na Yahwe Mungu wako atakubariki katika nchi ambayo unaingia kumiliki.
17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
Lakini moyo wako ukigeuka, na usisikilize na badala yake unavutwa na kusujudia miungu mingine na kuwaabudu,
18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly perish; you will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
basi leo nakutangazia kwako ya kwamba hakika utaangamia; siku zako hazitaongezeka katika nchi unayoipita juu ya Yordani kuingia na kumiliki.
19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants;
Naziita mbingu na nchi kushuhudia dhidi yako ya kuwa nimeweka mbele yako uzima na mauti, baraka na laana; kwa hiyo chagua uzima ili kwamba uweze kuishi, wewe na uzao wako.
20 to love YHWH your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
Fanya hivi ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako, kutii sauti yake, na kung’ang’ania kwake. Kwa maana yeye ni uzima wako na urefu wa siku zako; fanya hivi ili kwamba uweze kuishi katika nchi ambayo Yahwe aliapa kwa mababu zako, kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isaka, na kwa Yakobo, kuwapatia.
