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.
Kwa wakati ule Yahwe alisema kwangu, 'Chonga mbao mbili za mawe kama zile za kwanza, na njoo kwangu huku juu ya mlima, na 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 kwenye mbao maneno ambayo yalikuwa kwenye mbao za kwanza ulizozivunja, na utaziweka 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.
Basi nilitengeneza sanduku la mbao za mikaratusi, na nikachonga mbao mbili za mawe kwa zile za kwanza, na nikaenda juu ya mlima, nikiwa na mbao mbili mkononi 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.
Aliandika kwenye mbao, kama maandishi ya kwanza, amri kumi ambazo Yahwe amesema nanyi kwenye mlima kutoka katikati mwa moto katika siku ya kusanyiko; ndipo Yahwe alilinipa mimi.
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.
Niligeuka na kushuka chini kutoka mlimani, na kuweka mbao ndani ya sanduku nililokuwa nimetengeneza; hapo zilikaa, kama Yahwe alivyoniamuru.”
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.
(Watu wa Israeli walisafiri kutoka Beerothi ya Bene Jaakan kwenda Moserathi. Huko Aaroni alikufa, na huko alizikwa; Eleazar, mwana wake, alitumika katika ofisi ya ukuhani kwenye nafasi yake.
7 From thence they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
Kutokea huko walisafiri kwenda Gudgodah, na kutoka Gudgodah kwenda Jotbathah, nchi yenye mikondo ya 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.
Kwa wakati huo Yahwe alichagua kabila la Lawi kubeba sanduku la agano la Yahwe, kusimama mbele ya Yahwe kumtumikia na kubariki watu kwa jina lake, kama ilivyo 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.
Kwa hiyo Lawi hawana sehemu wala urithi wa nchi pamoja na ndugu zake; Yahwe ni urithi wao, kama Yahwe Mungu wenu alizungumza naye)
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.
“Nilibaki kwenye mlima kama ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza, siku arobaini na usiku arobaini. Yahwe alinisikiliza wakati huo pia; Yahwe hakutaka kukuangamiza.
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.
Yahwe alisema nami, “Inuka, nenda mbele ya watu uwaongoze katika safari yao; wataingia na kumiliki nchi ambayo niliapa kwa mababu 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,
Sasa, Israeli, Yahwe Mungu wenu ataka nini kwenu, isipokuwa hofu ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, kutembea katika njia zake zote, kumpenda yeye, na kumwabudu Yahwe Mungu wenu kwa moyo wenu wote na roho yenu yote.
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
Kuzishika amri za Yahwe, na maagizo ambayo ninawaamuru ninyi leo kwa ajili ya uzuri wenu?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongeth to the LORD thy God, the earth [also], with all that it contains.
Tazama, kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu mbingu ni zake na mbingu za mbingu, dunia, vyote vilivyomo.
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.
Yahwe peke alichukua furaha kwa baba zenu ili kwamba awapende, na aliwachagua ninyi, wazao wao, baada yao, zaidi kuliko ya watu wengine wowote, kama afanyavyo leo.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
Kwa hiyo basi wataili govi la mioyo yao, na msiwe wakaidi 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 Yahwe Mungu wenu, ni Mungu wa miungu na Bwana wa bwana, Mungu mkuu, mwenye nguvu na wakutisha, ambaye hapendelei yeyote na hapokei rushwa-
18 He executeth the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
Hutekeleza haki kwa yatima na wajane, na huonesha upendo kwa mgeni kwa kumpa chakula na mavazi.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Kwa hiyo basi mpende mgeni; kwa kuwa mlikuwa wageni kutoka nchi ya Misri.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
Mtamche Yahwe Mungu wenu yeye mtamwabudu. Mtashikamana kwake, na kwa jina lake mtaapa.
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 yenu, ni Mungu wenu, ambaye amefanya kwa ajili yenu haya mambo makuu na kutisha, ambayo macho yenu yameyaona.
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 walienda Misri kama watu sabini; sasa Yahwe Mungu wako amekufanya wewe kuwa wengi kama nyota za mbinguni.
