Numbers 10
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
BWANA alinena na Musa, akasema,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them, —and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.
“tengenza tarumbeta mbili za fedha. Uzitengeneze kwa kufua hizo fedha. Utazitumia hizo tarumbeta kwa kuwaita watu waje pamoja na kwa kuwaita watu wote wakati wa kuondoka kwenye kambi zao.
3 As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Makuhani watapiga tarumbeta kwa ajili ya kuwaita watu wote mbele yako kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
4 And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.
Kama makuhani watapiga tarumbeta moja tu, basi viongozi, vichwa koo za Israeli ndipo watakapokutana kwako.
5 But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;
Utakapopiga tarumbeta ya sauti kuu, ile kambi ya upande wa mashariki itaanza kusafiri.
6 and when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, —an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,
Nawe utakapopiga tarumeta kwa sauti kuu mara ya pili, ile kambi ya upande wa kusini wataanza kusafiri. Watapiga tarumbeta kwa sauti kuu ili kuanza safari yao.
7 But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm.
Watu wote watakapokutana pamoja, piga hizo tarumbeta lakini si kwa sauti kuu.
8 And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, —and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto your generations.
Wana wa Haruni, makuhani, watapiga hizo tarumbeta. Huu ndio utakaokuwa utaratibu wa watu wako kwa vizazi vyote.
9 And when ye go into war in your land against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, —and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies,
Nanyi mtakapoenda vitani katika ardhi yenu dhidi ya maadui wenu wanaowakandamiza, ndipo mtakapotoa ishara ya sauti ya tarumbeta. Mimi, BWANA Mungu wako nitawaita kuwakumbuka na kuwaokoa kutoka kwa maadui wenu.
10 And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, —so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I—Yahweh, am your God.
Pia, wakati wa kusherehekea, sikukuu zenu za kawaida na katika miandamo ya miezi, mtapiga tarumbeta zenu kwa heshima ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na kwa sadaka zenu za amani. Huu utakuwa ukumbusho wenu kwangu, Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu.”
11 And so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;
Katika siku ya ishrini, mwezi wa pili, mwaka wa pili, Lile wingu liliinuliwa toka masikani ya amri za maagano.
12 and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.
Wana wa Israeli wakaendelea na safari yao toka jangwa la Sinai. Lile wingu likasimama kwenye jangwa la Parani.
13 Thus then did they set forward for the first time, —at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
Walifanya safari yao ya kwanza, kufuatia amri ya BWANA iliyotolewa kupitia kwa Musa.
14 So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;
Kambi ya mahali pa uzao wa Yuda iliondoka ya kanza, wakiondoa majeshi yao binafsi. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Yuda.
15 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;
Nethaneli mwana wa Zuari aliongoza jeshi la kabila la uzao wa Isakari.
16 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.
Eliabu mwana wa Heloni aliongoza jeshi la kabila la Zabuloni.
17 Then was taken down the habitation, —and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation.
Uzao wa Gerishoni na Merari, ambao walitunza masikani, na kuanza kusafiri.
18 Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;
Baadaye Walifuata jeshi la mahali pa kambi ya Reubeni walianza safari yao. Elizuri mwana wa Shedeuri alliongoza jeshi la Reubebni.
19 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;
Shelumieli mwana wa Zurishadai aliliongoza jeshi la kabila la uzao wa Simeoni.
20 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.
Eliasafu mwana Deuli aliliongoza jeshi la kabila la uzao wa Gadi.
21 Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary, —and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.
Kabila la Kohathi nalo lilianza safari. Wao walibebba vyombo vya mahali patakatifu. Wengine waliisimamisha masikani kabla ya Wakohathi kufika kambi inayofuata.
22 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim by their hosts, —and over his own host, was Elishama son of Ammihud;
Majeshi ya kabila la uzao wa Efraimu ndio waliofuata. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Efraimu.
23 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;
Gamalieli mwana wa Pedazuri aliongoza jeshi la uzao wa Manase.
24 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.
Abidani mwana wa Gidioni aliongoza jeshi la uzao wa kabila la Benjamini.
25 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;
Lile jeshi lililoweka kambi mahali pa bango la uzao wa Dani lilikuwa la mwisho kuondoka. Ahizeri mwana wa Amishadai ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Dani.
26 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;
Pagieli mwana wa Okirani aliongoza jeshi la wana wa uzao wa Asheri.
27 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.
Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza jeshi la uzao wa kabila ya Naftali.
28 These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, —thus did they set forward.
Hivi ndivyo majeshi ya wana wa Israeli yalivyosafiri.
29 Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, —Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.
Musa alinena na Hobibu mwana wa Reueli wa Kabila la Midiani. Reueli alikuwa baba mke wa Musa. Musa akanena na Hobibu akasema, “Tunasafiri kuelekea mahali ambapo BWANA ametuahidi. BWANA alisema kuwa, “Nitawapeni ninyi hilo eneo, 'Njoni pamoja nasi na tutawatendea mema. BWANA ameahidi kuwafanyia mema Waisraeli.”
30 And he said unto him, I will not go, —but unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.
Lakini Hobibu akmwambia Musa, “Sitaambatana nanyi.”
31 Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, —for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;
Naye Musa akamjibu, “Tafadhali msituache. Mnajua jinsi ilivyo kuweka kambi jangwani. Tunaomba mtujali.
32 and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, —yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.
Kama mtaambatana nasi tutawatendea mema sawa na jinsi BWANA anavyotutendea.”
33 So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, —and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,
Walisafiri kutoka mlima wa BWANA kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la agano la BWANA liliwatangulia kwa siku tatu ili kupata mahali pa kupumzika.
34 And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, —when they set forward out of the camp.
Wingu la BWANA lilikuwa juu yao muda wote wa mchana walipokuwa safarini.
35 And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;
Kila hilo sanduku liliposafiri kwenda mbele, Musa alisema, “Inuka BWANA, Uwatawanye maadui wako. Uwafanye wale wanaokuchukia kukukimbia.”
36 But when it rested, he said, —Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
Na kila lile sanduku liliposimama, Musa alisema, “BWANA uwarudie, hawa Waisraeli makumi elfu.”
