Deuteronomy 16
1 Keep [the] month of Abib and you will observe a passover to Yahweh God your for in [the] month of Abib he brought out you Yahweh God your from Egypt night.
Shikeni mwezi wa Abibu, na kuiadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana Mungu wenu, kwa sababu katika mwezi wa Abibu, Mungu aliwatoa Misri usiku.
2 And you will sacrifice a passover to Yahweh God your flock and herd in the place where he will choose Yahweh to cause to dwell name his there.
Mtatoa dhabihu ya Pasaka ya mnyama kwa Bwana Mungu wenu kutoka kundi lenu la mbuzi na kondoo au la ngʼombe, mahali pale ambapo Bwana atapachagua kama makao kwa ajili ya Jina lake.
3 Not you will eat with it leaven seven days you will eat with it unleavened bread bread of affliction for in haste you came out from [the] land of Egypt so that you may remember [the] day of coming out you from [the] land of Egypt all [the] days of life your.
Msile nyama hiyo pamoja na mikate iliyotiwa chachu, lakini kwa siku saba mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, mikate ya kujitesa, kwa sababu mliondoka Misri kwa haraka, ili kwamba siku zote za maisha yenu mpate kukumbuka wakati wenu wa kuondoka Misri.
4 And not it will be seen by you leaven in all territory your seven days and not it will remain overnight any of the meat which you will sacrifice in the evening on the day first to the morning.
Chachu isionekane katika mali zenu katika nchi yenu yote kwa siku saba. Nyama yoyote ya dhabihu mtakayotoa jioni ya siku ya kwanza isibakizwe mpaka asubuhi.
5 Not you will be able to sacrifice the passover in one of gates your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Kamwe msitoe dhabihu ya Pasaka katika mji wowote ambao Bwana Mungu wenu amewapa,
6 That except to the place which he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there you will sacrifice the passover in the evening when goes the sun [the] time of coming out you from Egypt.
isipokuwa mahali atakapopachagua kama makao kwa ajili ya Jina lake. Hapo ndipo lazima mtoe dhabihu ya Pasaka jioni, jua litakapotua, iwe kumbukumbu yenu ya kutoka Misri.
7 And you will cook [it] and you will eat [it] in the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it and you will turn in the morning and you will go to tents your.
Okeni na mle mahali pale ambapo Bwana Mungu wenu atakapopachagua, kisha asubuhi mrudi kwenye mahema yenu.
8 Six days you will eat unleavened bread and [will be] on the day seventh an assembly to Yahweh God your not you will do work.
Kwa siku sita mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu na siku ya saba fanyeni kusanyiko kwa ajili ya Bwana Mungu wenu na msifanye kazi.
9 Seven weeks you will count for yourself from when begins a sickle in the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks.
Mhesabu majuma saba tangu wakati mnapoanza kuchukua mundu kuvuna nafaka.
10 And you will observe a festival of weeks to Yahweh God your a sufficiency of a freewill offering of hand your which you will give just as he will bless you Yahweh God your.
Kisha msherehekee Sikukuu ya Majuma kwa Bwana Mungu wenu kwa kutoa sadaka ya hiari kwa kadiri ya baraka ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu amewapa.
11 And you will rejoice before - Yahweh God your you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite who [is] in gates your and the sojourner and the fatherless one and the widow who [are] in midst your in the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there.
Shangilieni mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu mahali atakapopachagua kama makao ya Jina lake, ninyi, wana wenu na binti zenu, watumishi wenu wa kiume na wa kike, Walawi walio katika miji yenu, na wageni, yatima na wajane waishio miongoni mwenu.
12 And you will remember that a slave you were in Egypt and you will take care and you will observe the statutes these.
Kumbukeni kwamba mlikuwa watumwa kule Misri na mfuate amri hizi kwa uangalifu.
13 [the] festival of The booths you will observe yourself seven days when gathering you from threshing floor your and from wine-press your.
Adhimisheni sikukuu ya vibanda kwa siku saba baada ya kukusanya mazao yenu ya nafaka na kukamua zabibu.
14 And you will rejoice at festival your you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite and the sojourner and the fatherless one and the widow who [are] in gates your.
Mfurahie sikukuu yenu, ninyi, wana wenu, binti zenu, watumishi wenu wa kiume na wa kike, Walawi, wageni, yatima na wajane ambao wanaishi katika miji yenu.
15 Seven days you will celebrate a festival to Yahweh God your in the place which he will choose Yahweh for he will bless you Yahweh God your in all produce your and in all [the] work of hands your and you will be surely joyful.
Kwa siku saba mtaiadhimisha sikukuu ya Bwana Mungu wenu katika mahali atakapopachagua Bwana. Kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wenu atawabariki katika mavuno yenu na katika kazi zote za mikono yenu na furaha yenu itakamilika.
16 Three times - in the year he will appear every male your with [the] presence of - Yahweh God your in the place which he will choose at [the] festival of the unleavened bread and at [the] festival of the weeks and at [the] festival of the booths and not he will appear with [the] presence of Yahweh emptily.
Wanaume wenu wote lazima wajitokeze mara tatu kwa mwaka mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu mahali atakapopachagua: kwa ajili ya Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, Sikukuu ya Majuma, na Sikukuu ya Vibanda. Hakuna mtu atakayejitokeza mbele za Bwana mikono mitupu:
17 Anyone according to [the] gift of hand his according to [the] blessing of Yahweh God your which he has given to you.
Kila mmoja wenu ni lazima alete zawadi kulingana na jinsi ambavyo Bwana Mungu wenu alivyowabariki.
18 Judges and officials you will appoint for yourself in all gates your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you for tribes your and they will judge the people judgment of righteousness.
Wateue waamuzi na maafisa kwa kila kabila lenu katika kila mji ambao Bwana Mungu wenu anawapa, nao watawaamua watu kwa usawa.
19 Not you will turn aside justice not you will pay regard to faces and not you will take a bribe for the bribe it makes blind [the] eyes of wise [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].
Msipotoshe haki wala msifanye upendeleo. Msikubali rushwa kwa sababu rushwa hupofusha macho ya wenye busara na kugeuza maneno ya wenye haki.
20 Righteousness righteousness you will pursue so that you may live and you will take possession of the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Mfuate haki na haki peke yake, ili mweze kuishi na kuimiliki nchi ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu anawapa.
21 Not you will plant for yourself an Asherah pole any tree beside [the] altar of Yahweh God your which you will make for yourself.
Msisimamishe nguzo yoyote ya Ashera kando ya madhabahu mliyomjengea Bwana Mungu wenu,
22 And not you will set up for yourself a sacred pillar which he hates Yahweh God your.
wala msisimamishe jiwe la kuabudu, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wenu anavichukia vitu hivi.
