Deuteronomy 10
1 At that time the LORD said to me, Hew thee two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me upon the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
Wakati ule Bwana aliniambia, “Chonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza uje kwangu juu mlimani. Pia utengeneze Sanduku la mbao.
2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
Nitaandika juu ya vibao maneno yaliyokuwa katika vile vibao vya kwanza, ambavyo ulivivunja. Kisha utaviweka ndani ya Sanduku.”
3 And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and ascended the mount, having the two tables in my hand.
Hivyo nikatengeneza Sanduku kwa mti wa mshita, nikachonga pia vibao vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, kisha nikakwea mlimani nikiwa na vibao viwili mikononi mwangu.
4 And he wrote on the tables according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount, from the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.
Bwana akaandika juu ya hivi vibao kile alichokuwa amekiandika kabla, Amri Kumi alizokuwa amewatangazia juu mlimani, kutoka kwenye moto siku ile ya kusanyiko. Bwana akanikabidhi.
5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.
Kisha nikashuka kutoka mlimani na kuweka vibao ndani ya Sanduku nililokuwa nimelitengeneza, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza, navyo viko huko sasa.
6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jakan to Mosira: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
(Waisraeli walisafiri kutoka visima vya Yaakani hadi Mosera. Huko Aroni alifariki na kuzikwa, naye Eleazari mwanawe akachukua nafasi yake kama kuhani.
7 From thence they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
Kutoka pale, walisafiri hadi Gudgoda wakaendelea mpaka Yotbatha, nchi yenye vijito vya maji.
8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
Wakati huo Bwana aliteua kabila la Lawi kulibeba Sanduku la Agano la Bwana, kusimama mbele za Bwana ili kutoa huduma, na kutangaza baraka kwa Jina lake, kama wanavyofanya mpaka leo.
9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
Hiyo ndiyo sababu ya Walawi kutokuwa na sehemu wala urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zao; Bwana ndiye urithi wao, kama Bwana Mungu wao alivyowaambia.)
10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first-time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee.
Basi nilikaa mlimani kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, kama nilivyofanya mara ya kwanza, pia Bwana alinisikiliza hata wakati huu. Haikuwa nia yake kuwaangamiza.
11 And the LORD said to me, Arise, take [thy] journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Bwana akaniambia, “Nenda, ukawaongoze watu katika njia yao ili kwamba waweze kuingia na kuimiliki nchi ile niliyowaapia baba zao kuwapa.”
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
Na sasa, ee Israeli, Bwana Mungu wako anataka nini kwako ila kumcha Bwana Mungu wako, kwenda katika njia zake, kumpenda na kumtumikia Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa roho yako yote,
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
na kuyashika maagizo ya Bwana na amri zake ninazokupa leo kwa mafanikio yako mwenyewe?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongeth to the LORD thy God, the earth [also], with all that it contains.
Mbingu, hata mbingu za juu sana, dunia na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake, ni mali ya Bwana Mungu wako.
15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as [it is] this day.
Hata hivyo Bwana alikuwa na shauku na baba zako, akawapenda na akawachagua ninyi, wazao wao, kuliko mataifa yote, kama ilivyo leo.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
Kwa hiyo tahirini mioyo yenu, na msiwe na shingo ngumu tena.
17 For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
Kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wenu ni Mungu wa miungu na Bwana wa mabwana, Mungu mkuu, mwenye uweza na wa kutisha, ambaye hana upendeleo na hapokei rushwa.
18 He executeth the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
Huwapigania yatima na wajane, humpenda mgeni, akimpa chakula na mavazi.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Nanyi wapendeni wageni, kwa kuwa ninyi wenyewe mlikuwa wageni huko Misri.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
Mche Bwana Mungu wako na umtumikie yeye. Shikamana naye kwa uthabiti na kuapa kwa jina lake.
21 He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things which thy eyes have seen.
Yeye ni sifa yako; yeye ni Mungu wako, ambaye alikutendea yale maajabu makubwa na ya kutisha uliyoyaona kwa macho yako mwenyewe.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Baba zako walioshuka kwenda Misri jumla yao walikuwa sabini, na sasa Bwana Mungu wako amekufanya wengi kama nyota za angani.
