Deuteronomy 5
1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.
Musa aliwaita Israeli yote na akasema nao, “Sikiliza, Israeli, kwa amri na sheria ambazo nitasema katika masikio yenu leo, muweze kujifunza na kuzishika.
2 YHWH our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Yahwe Mungu wetu alifanya agano nasi huko Horeb.
3 YHWH did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Yahwe hakufanya agano hili pamoja na mababu zetu, lakini na sisi, sisi wote tu hai hapa leo.
4 YHWH spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire,
Yahwe alizungumza nawe uso kwa uso kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto
5 (I stood between YHWH and you at that time, to show you the words of YHWH: for you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mountain; ) saying,
(Nilisimama kati ya Yahwe na wewe kwa wakati huo, kukufunulia wewe neno lake, kwa kuwa ulikuwa umeogopa kwa sababu ya moto, na haukwenda juu ya mlima), Yahwe alisema,
6 "I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
'Mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nyumba ya utumwa.
7 "Do not have no other gods before me.
Hautakuwa na miungu mingine mbele yangu.
8 "Do not make an engraved image for yourself, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on the earth below, or that is in the waters below the earth.
Hautajifanyia mwenyewe sanamu ya kuchonga wala mfano wa kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni, au kilicho chini ya dunia, au kilicho chini ya maji.
9 You must not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, YHWH, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation] of those who hate me;
Hautavisujudia au kuvitumikia, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahwe Mungu wako, ni Mungu wa wivu, Nawaadhibu uovu wa mababu kwa kuleta adhabu juu ya watoto, kwa kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wale wanichukiao,
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
na kuonesha agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu, kwa wale wanaonipenda na kushika amri zangu.
11 "Do not take the name of YHWH your God in vain: for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Hautalichukua jina la Yahwe Mungu wako bure, kwa kuwa Yahwe hatamshikilia kuwa ana hatia yeye alichukuae jina bure.
12 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as YHWH your God commanded you.
Zingantia siku ya Sabato kwa kuiweka takatifu, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru.
13 Six days you may labor, and do all your work;
Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na fanya kazi zako zote,
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your God. On it you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, your ox, nor your donkey, nor your livestock, your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato kwa Yahwe Mungu wako. Kwa siku hiyo hautafanya kazi yoyote- si wewe, wala mwana wako, wala binti yako, wala mjakazi wako wa kiume, wala maksai wako, wala punda wako, wala mifugo wako, wala mgeni yeyote aliye katika malango yako. Hii ni kwamba mjakazi wako wa kiume na mjakazi wako wa kike wapate kumpuzika pamoja na wewe.
15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore YHWH your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Utakumbuka katika akili yako kwamba ulikuo mtumwa katika nchi ya Misri, na Yahwe Mungu wako alikutoa kutoka huko kwa mkono wa uweza na mkono ulionyoshwa. Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wako amekuamuru kuitunza siku ya Sabato.
16 "Honor your father and your mother, as YHWH your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
Mheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru kufanya, ili kwamba uweze kuishi muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako akupa, ili kwamba iende kwa uzuri kwako.
17 "Do not commit adultery.
Hautaua,
18 "Do not murder.
hautazini,
19 "Do not steal.
hautaiba,
20 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
hautashuhudia uongo dhidi ya ndugu yako.
21 "Do not covet your neighbor's wife. Do not crave your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."
Hautamtamani mke wa jirani yako, hautatamani nyumba ya jirani yako, shamba lake, au mjakazi wake wa kiume, au mjakazi wake wa kike, maksai au punda wako, au chochote ambacho ni mali ya jirani yako.
22 These words YHWH spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.
Haya maneno Yahwe alisema kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lako lote kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto, mawingu, giza zito, hakuongeza maneno yoyote zaidi. Na aliandika chini kwenye mbao mbili za mawe na akanipa mimi.
23 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Ilipokaribia, pindi uliposikia sauti toka katikati mwa giza, wakati mlima unawaka moto, kuwa mlikuja karibu nami, wazee wako wote, na wakuu wa makibila yako.
24 and you said, "Look, YHWH our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
Ulisema, Tazama, Yahwe Mungu wetu ametuonesha utukufu wake na ukuu wake, na tumeisikia sauti yake toka katikati mwa moto, tumeona leo kwamba wakati Mungu azungumza na watu, wanaweza kuishi.
25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of YHWH our God any more, then we shall die.
Lakini kwanini tufe? Kwa kuwa mto huu mkuu utatutoshereza sisi; kama tutasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu tena, tutakufa.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Kwa kuwa badala yetu kuna miongoni mwetu wa mwili ambao wamesikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza toka katikati mwa moto na kuishi, kama tulivyofanya?
27 Go near, and hear all that YHWH our God shall say to you, and tell us all that YHWH our God speaks to you; and we will hear it, and do it."
Kwenu ninyi, mnapaswa kwenda na kusikiliza kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema; rudia kwetu kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema kwenu; tutamsikiliza na kumtii.'
28 YHWH heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and YHWH said to me, "I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.
Yahweh alisikia maneno yenu pindi mlipozungumza nami. Alisema na mimi, “Nimekwisha sikia maneno ya watu hawa, kile wanasema kwako. Kile walichosema kilikuwa kizuri.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever.
Oh, kulikuwa na moyo wa namba hiyo ndani yao, kwamba wataniheshimu na daima kushika amri zangu zote, ili iweze kuwa vizuri kwao na pamoja na watoto wao milele!
30 "Go tell them, Return to your tents.
Nenda useme nao, “Rudini kwenye mahema.”
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it."
Lakini kwenu, simama karibu nami, na nitakuambia amri zote, sheria, na maagizo ambayo mtawafundisha, ili kwamba waweze kuyashika katika nchi ambayo nitawapa kumiliki.'
32 You shall observe to do therefore as YHWH your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Utashika, kwa hiyo, kile Yahwe Mungu wenu amewaamuru; hamtageukia mkono wa kulia au kushoto.
33 You shall walk in all the way which YHWH your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
Mtatembea katika njia zote ambazo Yahwe Mungu wenu, amewaamuru ili kusudi muweze kuishi, na ili kwamba iweze kwenda vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuongeza siku zenu katika nchi ambayo mtaimiliki.
