Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, —Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day.
Musa na wazee wa Israeli waliwaamuru watu na kusema, “Zishikeni amri zote ninazowaamuru leo.
2 So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, —that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;
Katika siku mtakapopita juu ya Yordani kwenye nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, mnapaswa kutengeneza mawe kiasi makubwa na kuyachapa kwa lipu.
3 and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, —to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.
Mnatakiwa kuyaandika juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii pale mtakapovuka; ili muweze kwenda katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe, Mungu wa mababu zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, —and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
Mtakapovuka juu ya Yordani, yapangane haya mawe ninayowaamuru leo, juu ya mlima wa Ebali, na myapige kwa lipu.
5 And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, —an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron.
Hapo mnapaswa kujenga dhabahu kwa Yahwe Mungu wako, dhabahu la mawe; lakini hautakiwi kuinua chombo cha chuma kujenga mawe.
6 Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, —then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God;
Unatakiwa kujenga dhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako kwa mawe yasiyokuwa na kazi; unatakiwa kutoa dhabihu ya kuteketeza juu yake kwa Yahwe Mungu wako,
7 and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, —and rejoice before Yahweh thy God.
na utatoa sadaka ya pamoja na utakula pale; utafurahia mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well.
Utaandika juu ya mawe maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi.
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, —Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God.
Musa na makuhani, Walawi, waliongea na Waisraeli wote na kusema, “Nyamazeni na sikilizeni Israel: Leo mmekuwa watu wa Yahwe Mungu wenu.
10 Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.
Mnapaswa basi kutii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu na kutii amri na sheria zake ambazo ninawaamuru leo.”
11 And Moses commanded the people on that day, saying:
Musa aliwaamuru watu siku hiyo hiyo na kusema,
12 These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, —Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;
“Makabila haya yanapaswa kusimama katika mlima Gerizimu kuwabariki watu baada ya nyinyi kuvuka Yordani; Simeoni, Lawi, Judah, Isakari, Yusufu na Benyamini.
13 and, these, shall stand by the curse in Mount Ebal, —Reuben Gad and Asher, and Zebulun Dan and Naphtali.
Haya ni makabila ambayo lazima yasimame juu yam lima Ebali kutamka laana: Rubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dan na Naftali.
14 Then shall the Levites respond and say unto every man of Israel with voice uplifted: —
Walawi watajibu na kusema kwa wanamume wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
