Deuteronomy 26
1 And it will be that you will go into the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance and you will take possession of it and you will dwell in it.
Utakapofika katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupatia kama urithi, na utakapoimiliki na kuishi ndani yake,
2 And you will take some of [the] first of - all [the] fruit of the ground which you will bring in from land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you and you will put [it] in the basket and you will go to the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there.
basi unatakiwa kuchukua baadhi ya mavuno yote ya kwanza ya ardhi uliyoyaleta kutoka katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupatia. Unatakiwa kuyaweka ndani ya kikapu na kuelekea katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako atapachagua kama mahali patakatifu.
3 And you will go to the priest who he will be in the days those and you will say to him I declare this day to Yahweh God your that I have come into the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors our to give to us.
Unatakiwa kwenda kwa kuhani ambaye atakuwa akihudumu katika siku hizo na kumwambia, “Siku ya leo ninakiri kwa Yahwe Mungu wako ya kuwa nimekuja katika nchi ambayo Yahwe aliapa kwa mababu zetu kutupatia”.
4 And he will take the priest the basket from hand your and he will set down it before [the] altar of Yahweh God your.
Kuhani anatakiwa kuchukua kikapu mkononi mwako na kukiweka madhabahuni ya Yahwe Mungu wako.
5 And you will answer and you will say before - Yahweh God your [was] an Aramean wandering ancestor my and he went down Egypt towards and he sojourned there men of fewness and he became there a nation great mighty and numerous.
Unapaswa kusema mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako, “Babu yangu alikuwa Mwaremi mzururaji. Alikwenda chini hadi Misri na kukaa kule, na idadi ya watu wake ilikuwa chache. Kule akawa taifa kubwa, lenye nguvu na idadi kubwa.
6 And they did harm to us the Egyptians and they afflicted us and they put on us labor hard.
Wamisri walitutendea vibaya na kututesa. Walitulazimisha kufanya kazi za watumwa.
7 And we cried out to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors our and he heard Yahweh voice our and he saw affliction our and toil our and oppression our.
Tulimlilia Yahwe, Mungu wa baba zetu, naye akasikia sauti yetu na kuona mateso yetu, kazi zetu na mateso yetu.
8 And he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and by terror great and by signs and by wonders.
Yahwe alituondoa Misri kwa mkono wake mkuu, kwa mkono wake ulionyoshwa, kwa hofu kuu, kwa ishara na miujiza;
9 And he brought us to the place this and he gave to us the land this a land flowing of milk and honey.
na ametuleta katika sehemu hii na kutupatia nchi hii, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali.
10 And therefore here! I have brought [the] first of [the] fruit of the ground which you have given to me O Yahweh and you will set down it before Yahweh God your and you will bow down before Yahweh God your.
Tazama sasa, nimeleta mavuno ya kwanza kutoka katika nchi ambayo wewe, Yahwe, umenipatia.” Unapaswa kuweka chini mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako na kuabudu mbele zake;
11 And you will rejoice in all the good which he has given to you Yahweh God your and to household your you and the Levite and the sojourner who [is] in midst your.
na unapaswa kufurahia katika mema yote ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako amekufanyia, kwa ajili na nyumba yako – wewe, na Mlawi, na mgeni aliye miongoni mwako.
12 If you will finish to tithe all [the] tithe of produce your in the year third [the] year of the tithe and you will give [it] to the Levite to the sojourner to the fatherless one and to the widow and they will eat in gates your and they will be satisfied.
Utakapomaliza kutoa zaka yote ya mavuno katika mwaka wa tatu, yaani, mwaka wa kutoa zaka, basi unapaswa kuwapatia Mlawi, kwa mgeni, kwa yatima, na kwa mjane, ili kwamba waweze kula ndani ya malango yenu ya mji na kujazilishwa.
13 And you will say before Yahweh God your I have removed the holy thing from the house and also I have given it to the Levite and to the sojourner to the fatherless one and to the widow according to all commandment your which you have commanded me not I have transgressed any of commandments your and not I have forgotten [them].
Unatakiwa kusema mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako, “Nimetoa kutoka nyumbani mwangu vitu ambavyo ni mali ya Yahwe, na kumpatia Mlawi, mgeni, yatima, na mjane, kulingana na amri zote ulizonipatia. Sijavunja amri yako yoyote, wala sijazisahau.
14 Not I have eaten in mourning my any of it and not I have removed any of it unclean and not I have given any of it to [the] dead I have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God my I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Sijala kati yao wakati wa maombolezo yangu, wala sijaziweka mahali pengine nilipokuwa mchafu, wala sijazitoa kati yao kwa heshima ya wafu. Nimesikiliza sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wangu; Nimetii kila kitu ulichoniamuru kukifanya.
15 Look down! from [the] habitation of holiness your from the heavens and bless people your Israel and the land which you have given to us just as you swore to ancestors our a land flowing of milk and honey.
Tazama chini kutoka mahali patakatifu unapoishi, kutoka mbinguni, na ubariki watu wako Israeli, na nchi uliyotupatia, kama ulivyoapa kwa mababu zetu, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali.
16 The day this Yahweh God your [is] commanding you to observe the statutes these and the judgments and you will take care and you will observe them with all heart your and with all being your.
Leo Yahwe Mungu wako anawaamuru kuzitii sheria na amri hizi; basi utazishikilia na kuzitenda kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote.
17 Yahweh you have declared this day to become for you God and to walk in ways his and to keep statutes his and commandments his and judgments his and to listen to voice his.
Umetamka leo ya kuwa Yahwe ni Mungu wako, na kwamba utatembea katika njia zake na kushikilia sheria zake, maagizo yake na amri zake, na kwamba utaisikiliza sauti yake.
18 And Yahweh he has declared you this day to become for him a people of possession just as he spoke to you and to keep all commandments his.
Leo Yahwe ametamka ya kwamba mu watu ambao ni mali yake, kama alivyoahidi kwenu, na kwamba mnapaswa kushikilia amri zake zote.
19 And to set you most high above all the nations which he has made for praise and for a name and for honor and to be you a people holy to Yahweh God your just as he spoke.
Na atawaweka juu zaidi ya mataifa mengine aliyoyaumba nanyi mtapokea sifa, umaarufu na heshima. Mtakuwa watu waliowekwa kando kwa Yahwe Mungu wako, kama alivyosema.”
