< Deuteronomy 9 >
1 Hear O Israel you [are] about to pass over this day the Jordan to go to dispossess nations great and mighty more than you cities large and fortified in the heavens.
Sikiliza, Israeli; umekaribia kuvuka ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani leo, kuyafukuza mataifa yenye nguvu na ushujaa kuliko ninyi, na miji ambayo ni mikuu na yenye boma iliyoenda juu,
2 A people great and lofty [the] descendants of [the] Anakites whom you you know and you you have heard who? will he stand before [the] descendants of Anak.
watu wakuu na warefu, wana wa Anakimu, ambaye mnamjua, na yule mliomsikia watu wakisema, 'Nani atasimama mbele ya wana wa Anak?
3 And you will know this day that Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] is about to pass over before you a fire consuming he he will destroy them and he he will subdue them before you and you will dispossess them and you will destroy them quickly just as he spoke Yahweh to you.
Kwa hiyo tambua leo kwamba, Yahwe Mungu wenu ni yeye ambaye huenda mbele yenu kama moto uwalao; atawaharibu na kuwaangamiza mbele yenu, kwa hiyo mtawaondosha na kuwafanya kuwapoteza kwa haraka, kama Yahwe alivyosema kwenu.
4 May not you say in heart your when drives out Yahweh God your them - from to before you saying in righteousness my he has brought me Yahweh to take possession of the land this and in [the] wickedness of the nations these Yahweh [is] dispossessing them from before you.
Msiseme kwenye mioyo yenu, baada ya Yahwe Mungu wenu kuwatupilia toka mbele yenu, “ilikuwa kwa sababu ya haki yangu kwamba Yahwe amenileta mimi kuimiliki nchi hii; kwa kuwa ilikuwa kwa sababu ya maovu ya mataifa haya kwamba Yahwe anawaondowa toka mbele yenu.
5 Not in righteousness your and in [the] uprightness of heart your you [are] about to go to take possession of land their for in [the] wickedness of - the nations these Yahweh God your [is] dispossessing them from before you and so as to carry out the word which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
Si kwa sababu ya uadilifu wenu au unyofu wa mioyo yenu ambayo mnaenda kuingia kumiliki nchi yao, lakini ni kwa sababu ya maovu ya mataifa haya ambayo Mungu anawaondowa kutoka mbele zenu, na kusudi alifanye kuwa kweli neno ambalo aliapa kwa mababu zenu, Ibrahimu, Isaka na Yakabo.
6 And you will know that not in righteousness your Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you the land good this to take possession of it for [are] a people stiff of neck you.
Kwa hiyo tambua, kwamba Yahwe Mungu wenu awapi ninyi nchi hii nzuri kuimiliki kwa sababu ya uadilifu wenu kwa kuwa ni watu wakaidi.
7 Remember may not you forget this: you provoked to anger Yahweh God your in the wilderness from the day when you came out - from [the] land of Egypt until came you to the place this rebelling you have been with Yahweh.
Kumbuka na msisahau jinsi mlivyomchochea Yahwe Mungu wenu katika hasira huko jangwani; kutoka siku hiyo ambayo mliacha nchi ya Misri mpaka mlipokuja kwenye eneo hili, mmekuwa waasi dhidi ya Yahwe.
8 And at Horeb you provoked to anger Yahweh and he was angry Yahweh with you to destroy you.
Pia huko Horebu mlimchochea Yahwe katika hasira, na Yahwe alikasirika vya kutosha kwenu kuwaangamiza.
9 When went up I the mountain towards to receive [the] tablets of stone [the] tablets of the covenant which he had made Yahweh with you and I remained on the mountain forty day[s] and forty night[s] food not I ate and water not I drank.
Wakati nilipoenda juu ya mlima kupokea mbao za mawe, mbao za agano ambalo Yahwe alifanya nanyi, Nilibaki kwenye mlima kwa siku arobaini na usiku arobaini; Wala sikula mkate wala kunywa maji.
10 And he gave Yahweh to me [the] two [the] tablets of stone inscribed by [the] finger of God and [were] on them like all the words which he had spoken Yahweh with you on the mountain from [the] middle of the fire on [the] day of the assembly.
Yahwe alinipa mbao mbili za mawe zilizoandikwa kwa kidole chake; juu yake kuliandikwa kila kitu kama tu maneno yote ambayo Yahwe alitangaza kwenu juu ya mlima toka katikati mwa moto siku hiyo ya kusanyiko.
11 And it was from [the] end of forty day[s] and forty night[s] he gave Yahweh to me [the] two [the] tablets of stone [the] tablets of the covenant.
Ilitokea mwishoni mwa siku hizo arobaini na usiku arobaini ya kwamba Yahwe alinipa mimi mbao mbili za mawe, mbao za agano.
12 And he said Yahweh to me arise go down quickly from here for it has acted corruptly people your which you brought out from Egypt they have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them they have made for themselves a molten image.
Yahwe alisema nami, 'Inuka, nenda chini haraka kutokea hapa, kwa kuwa watu wako, ambao uliwaleta toka Misri, wamekuwa wafisadi wenyewe. Kwa haraka wamegeuka toka kwenye njia ambayo niliwaamuru. Wamejifanyia wenyewe umbo la kutupwa.
13 And he said Yahweh to me saying I have seen the people this and there! [is] a people stiff of neck it.
Zaidi ya hayo, Yahwe alizungumza na mimi na kusema, “Nimewaona watu hawa; ni watu wakaidi.
14 Refrain from me so I may destroy them and I may wipe out name their from under the heavens so I may make you into a nation mighty and great more than it.
Acha mimi peke yangu, ili kwamba niweze kuwaangamiza na kulifuta jina lao kutoka chini ya mbingu, na nitawafanya ninyi taifa lenye nguvu na kuu kuliko wao.”
15 And I turned and I went down from the mountain and the mountain [was] burning with fire and [the] two [the] tablets of the covenant [were] on [the] two hands my.
Kwa hiyo niligeuka nyuma na kushuka chini ya mlima, na mlima ulikuwa ukiwaka moto. Mbao mbili za agano zilikuwa kwenye mikono yangu.
16 And I saw and there! you had sinned to Yahweh God your you had made for yourselves a calf of molten metal you had turned aside quickly from the way which he had commanded Yahweh you.
Nilitazama, na tazama, mlikuwa mmefanya dhambi dhidi ya Yahwe Mungu wenu. Mmejitengenezea wenyewe ndama. Kwa haraka mmegeuka toka njia ambayo Yahwe alikuwa amewaamuru.
17 And I seized [the] two the tablets and I threw them from on [the] two hands my and I broke them to eyes your.
Nilizichukua mbao mbili na kuzitupa toka mikononi mwangu. Nilizivunja mbele ya macho yenu.
18 And I prostrated myself before Yahweh like the former [time] forty day[s] and forty night[s] food not I ate and water not I drank on all sin your which you had sinned by doing the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.
Tena nilala kifudifudi mbele ya Yahwe kwa siku arobaini na usiku arobaini; wala sikula mkate wala kunywa maji, kwa sababu dhambi zenu zote ambazo mlikuwa mmefanya, kwa kufanya hivyo ambavyo ilikuwa ni mbaya machoni pa Yahwe, ili kwamba kumchochea yeye katika hasira.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and the rage which he was angry Yahweh towards you to destroy you and he listened Yahweh to me also at the time that.
Kwa kuwa nilikuwa nimeogopa hasira na gadhabu kali ambayo Yahwe alikuwa amekasirika vya kutosha dhidi yenu kuwaangamiza. Lakini Yahwe alinisikiliza mimi kwa wakati huo pia.
20 And with Aaron he was angry Yahweh exceedingly to destroy him and I prayed also for Aaron at the time (that *L(abh)*)
Yahwe alikuwa na hasira nyingi na Aaroni kwa kusudi la kumuangamiza; pia niliomba kwa ajili ya Aaroni kwa wakati huohuo.
21 and sin your which you had made the calf I took and I burned it - with fire and I crushed it grinding [it] well until that it was fine dust and I threw dust its into the wadi which was coming down from the mountain.
Nilichukua dhambi zenu, ndama mliyekuwa mmentengeza, na kumchoma, kumpiga, kumweka chini kuwa mdogo, mpaka ilipokuwa laini kama vumbi. Nilirusha vumbi lake katika mkondo ambao ulitiririka chini kutoka mlimani.
22 And at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth Hattaavah provoking to anger you were Yahweh.
Huko Taberah, Massah, na huko Kibrothi Hattaavah, mlimchochea Yahwe kwenye adhabu.
23 And when sent Yahweh you from Kadesh Barnea saying go up and take possession of the land which I have given to you and you rebelled against [the] mouth of Yahweh God your and not you believed him and not you listened to voice his.
Wakati Yahwe aliwatoa kutoka Kadeshi ya Barnea na kusema, 'Nenda juu na umiliki nchi ambayo nimekupa, 'ndipo mliasi dhidi ya agizo la Yahwe Mungu wenu, na hamkumwamini na kumsikiliza sauti yake.
24 Rebelling you have been with Yahweh from [the] day knew I you.
Mmekuwa waasi dhidi ya Yahwe toka siku ile nilipowajua.
25 And I prostrated myself before Yahweh [the] forty the day[s] and [the] forty the night[s] which I prostrated myself for he had said Yahweh to destroy you.
Kwa hiyo nilala kifudifudi mbele ya Yahwe siku zile arobaini na usiku arobaini, kwa sababu alikuwa amesema kwamba angewaangamiza.
26 And I prayed to Yahweh and I said O Lord Yahweh may not you destroy people your and inheritance your which you redeemed by greatness your which you brought out from Egypt by a hand strong.
Niliomba kwa Yahwe na kusema, 'Oh Bwana Yahwe, usiwaangamize watu wako au warithi wako ambao uliwaokoa kwa ukuu wako, ambapo uwatoa toka Misri kwa mkono wa uweza.
27 Remember servants your Abraham Isaac and Jacob may not you turn to [the] stubbornness of the people this and to wickedness its and to sin its.
Akilini waite watumishi wenu Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo; msiangalie ukaidi wa watu hawa, wala maovu yao, dhambi zao,
28 Lest they should say the land where you brought out us from there because not was able Yahweh to bring them into the land which he spoke to them and from hatred his them he led out them to put to death them in the wilderness.
ili kwamba nchi ambayo ulitutoa iseme, “Kwa sababu Yahwe hakuweza kuwaleta katika nchi aliyowaahadia, na kwa sababu aliwachukia, amewaleta nje kuwauwa katika jangwa.
29 And they [are] people your and inheritance your which you brought out by strength your great and by arm your outstretched.
Bado ni watu wa kwenu na urithi wenu, ambao uliwatoa kwa nguvu zako kuu na kwa kuonesha mamlaka yako,
