< Deuteronomy 31 >
1 And so Moises yede, and spak alle these wordis to al Israel,
Musa alikwenda na kuzungumza maneno haya kwa Israeli yote.
2 and seide to hem, Y am to dai of an hundrid and twenti yeer, Y may no ferthere go out and go yn, moost sithen also the Lord seide to me, Thou schalt not passe this Jordan.
Alisema kwao, “Kwa sasa nina umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini; Siwezi kutoka na kuingia tena; Yahwe ameniambia, “Hautavuka Yordani hii”
3 Therfor thi Lord God schal passe bifore thee; he schal do awei these folkis in thi siyt, and thou schalt welde hem; and this Josue schal go bifor thee, as the Lord spak.
Yahwe Mungu wako, atakutangulia mbele yako; ataangamiza mataifa haya mbele yako, nawe utawanyanganya. Yoshua atakwenda kabla yako, kama Yahwe alivyonena.
4 And the Lord schal do to hem as he dide to Seon, and Og kyng of Ammorreis, and to `the lond of hem; and he schal do hem awey.
Yahwe atawafanya kwao kama alivyofanya kwa Sihoni na kwa Ogu, wafalme wa Waamori, na kwa nchi yao, aliyoiangamiza.
5 Therfor whanne the Lord hath bitake to you also hem, ye schulen do in lijk maner to hem, as Y comaundide to you.
Yahwe atakupatia ushindi juu yao utakapokutana nao vitani, nawe utafanya kwao yote ntakayokuamuru.
6 Do ye manli, and be ye coumfortid; nyle ye drede in herte, nethir drede ye at the siyt of hem, for thi Lord God hym silf is thi ledere, and he schal not leeue, nether schal forsake thee.
Uwe hodari na mwenye ujasiri mwema, usiogope, na usiwaogope; kwa maana Yahwe Mungu wako, ni yeye aendaye kabla yako; hatakuangusha wala kukuacha.”
7 And Moyses clepid Josue, and seide to hym bifor al the multitude of the sones of Israel, Be thou coumfortid, and be thou strong; for thou schalt lede this puple in to the lond which the Lord swoor that he schal yyue to `the fadris of hem; and thou schalt departe it bi lot.
Musa akamwita Yoshua na akamwambia machoni pa Israeli yote, “Uwe hodari na mwenye ujasiri mwema, kwa kuwa utaondoka na hawa watu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe ameapa kwa mababu zao kuwapatia; utafanya wairithi.
8 And the Lord hym silf whiche is youre ledere, schal be with thee, he schal not leeue, nether schal forsake thee; nyle thou drede, nether drede thou in herte.
Yahwe, yeye ndiye atakwenda kabla yako; atakuwa pamoja nawe; hatakuangusha wala hatakutelekeza; usiogope, usivunjike moyo.”
9 Therfor Moyses wroot this lawe, and bitook it to the preestis, sones of Leuy, that baren the arke of the bond of pees of the Lord, and to alle the eldere men of Israel.
Musa aliandika sheria hii na kuwapatia makuhani, wana wa Walawi, ambao walibeba sanduku la agano la Yahwe; pia aligawa nakala zake kwa wazee wote wa Israeli.
10 And Moyses comaundide to hem, and seide, Aftir seuen yeer, in the yeer of remyssioun, in the solempnete of tabernaclis,
Musa aliwaamuru na kusema, “Katika kila mwisho wa miaka saba, kwa muda uliowekwa wa kudumu kwa ajili ya kufuta madeni, katika Sikukuu ya Vibanda,
11 whanne alle men of Israel schulen come togidere, that thei appere in the siyt of her Lord God, in the place `which the Lord chees, thou schalt rede the wordis of this lawe bifor al Israel,
ambapo Israeli yote imekuja kujitokeza mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako katika mahali atakayochagua kuwa patakatifu pake, utasoma sheria hii mbele ya Israeli yote wakisikia.
12 while thei heren, and while al the puple is gaderid to gidere, as wel to men, as to wymmen, to litle children, and comelyngis that ben with ynne thi yatis; that thei here, and lerne, and drede youre Lord God, and kepe and fille alle the wordis of this lawe;
Kusanya watu, wanaume, wanawake, na wadogo, na mgeni wako aliye miongoni mwa malango yako, ili waweze kusikia na kujifunza, na ili kwamba wamheshimu Yahwe Mungu wako na kushika maneno yote ya sheria hii.
13 also that the sones of hem, that now knowen not, moun here, and that thei drede her Lord God in alle daies in whiche thei lyuen in the lond to whiche ye schulen go to gete, whanne Jordan is passid.
Fanya hivi ili kwamba watoto wao, ambao hawajajua, waweze kusikia na kujifunza kumheshimu Yahwe Mungu wako, maadamu unaishi katika nchi ambayo utaenda juu ya Yordani kuimiliki.”
14 And the Lord seide to Moises, Lo! the daies of thi deeth ben nyy; clepe thou Josue, and stonde ye in the tabernacle of witnessyng, that Y comaunde to hym. Therfor Moises and Josue yeden, and stooden in the tabernacle of witnessyng;
Yahwe alimwambia Musa, “Tazama, siku inakuja ambayo lazima utakakufa; muite Yoshua na mjidhihirishe katika hema la makutano, ili kwamba niweze kuwapatia amri.” Musa an Yoshua waliondoka na kujidhihirisha katika hema la makutano.
15 and the Lord apperide there in a pilere of cloude, that stood in the entryng of the tabernacle.
Yahwe alijifunua kwenye hema kwa nguzo ya wingu; nguzo ya wingu ilisimama juu ya mlango wa hema.
16 And the Lord seide to Moises, Lo! thou schalt slepe with thi fadris, and this puple schal rise, and schal do fornycacioun aftir alien goddis in the lond, to which lond it schal entre, that it dwelle ther ynne; there it schal forsake me, and schal make void the boond of pees, which Y couenauntide with it.
Yahwe alimwambia Musa, “Tazama, utalala na baba zako; watu hawa watainuka na kujifanya kama kahaba na kwenda kwa miungu ya ajabu ambayo imo miongoni mwao katika nchi wanapokwenda. Wataniacha na kuvunja agano langu ambalo nimefanya nao.
17 And my strong veniaunce schal be wrooth ayens that puple in that dai, and Y schal forsake it, and Y schal hide my face fro it, and it schal be in to deuouryng; alle yuels and turmentyngis schulen fynde it, so that it seie in that dai, Verili for the Lord is not with me, these yuelis han founde me.
Basi, katika siku hiyo, hasira yangu itawaka dhidi yao nami nitawaacha. Nitaficha uso wangu kwao nao watamezwa. Maafa na taabu nyingi yatawakumba ili waseme katika siku hiyo, “Maafa haya hayajaja kwetu kwa sababu Mungu hayupo kati yetu?”
18 Forsothe Y schal hide, and schal hile `my face in that dai, for alle the yuels `whiche it dide, for it suede alien goddis.
Hakika nitaficha uso wangu kwao katika siku hiyo kwa sababu ya uovu wote ambao watakuwa wametenda, kwa sababu wamegeukia miungu mingine.
19 Now therfor write ye to you this song, and `teche ye the sones of Israel, that thei holde it in mynde, and synge bi mouth; and that this song be to me for a witnessyng among the sones of Israel.
Basi sasa andika wimbo huu kwa ajili yenu na wafundishe watu wa Israeli. Uweke vinywani mwao, ili kwamba wimbo huu uweze kuwa shahidi kwangu dhidi ya watu wa Israeli.
20 For Y schal lede hym in to the lond, for which Y swoor to hise fadris, flowynge with mylk and hony; and whanne thei han ete, and ben fillid, and ben maad fat, thei schulen turne to alien goddis, and thei schulen serue hem; and thei schulen bacbite me, and schulen make voide my couenaunt.
Kwa maana nitakapowaleta katika nchi ambayo niliapa kwa mababu zao, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali, na watakapokula na kuridhika na kunenepa, ndipo watageukia miungu mingine nao watawatumikia na kunidharau na watavunja agano langu.
21 Aftir that many yuels and turmentyngis han founde hym, this song schal answere hym for witnessing, which song no foryetyng schal do awey fro the mouth of thi seed. For Y knowe the thouytis therof to day, what thingis it schal do, bifore that Y bringe it in to the lond which Y bihiyte to it.
Maovu na taabu nyingi zitakapokuja juu ya watu hawa, huu wimbo utashuhudia mbele yao (kwa maana hautasahaulika vinywani mwa uzao wao). Kwa maana najua mipango wanayotengeneza leo, hata kabla sijawaleta katika nchi niliyowaahidi.
22 Therfor Moises wroot the song, and tauyte the sones of Israel.
Kwa hiyo Musa aliandika huu wimbo siku hiyo hiyo na kuwafundisha watu wa Israeli.
23 And the Lord comaundide to Josue, the sone of Nun, and seide, Be thou coumfortid, and be thou strong; for thou schalt lede the sones of Israel in to the lond which Y bihiyte, and Y schal be with thee.
Yahwe alimpa Yoshua mwana wa Nuni amri na kusema, “Uwe hodari na mwenye ujasiri mwema; kwa maana utawaleta watu wa Israeli katika nchi niliyoapa kwao, nami nitakuwa pamoja nawe.”
24 Therfor aftir that Moises wroot the wordis of this lawe in a book, and fillide,
Ikatokea kwamba Musa alipomaliza kuandika maneno ya sheria hii katika kitabu,
25 he comaundide to Leuytis that baren the ark of boond of pees of the Lord,
aliwaamuru Walawi waliobeba sanduku la agano la Yahwe, na kusema,
26 and seide, Take ye this book, and putte ye it in the side of the arke of boond of pees of youre Lord God, that it be there ayens thee in to witnessyng.
“Chukua kitabu hiki cha sheria na kiweke pembeni mwa sanduku la agano la Yahwe Mungu wenu, ili kiweze kuwa pale kama ushahidi dhidi yenu.
27 For Y knowe thi stryuyng, and thin hardest nol; yit while Y lyuede and entride with you, ye diden euere stryuyngli ayens the Lord; hou myche more whanne Y schal be deed.
Maana nafahamu uasi wenu na shingo zenu ngumu; tazama, maadamu nipo hai pamoja nanyi hata leo, mmekuwa waasi dhidi ya Yahwe; itakuaje baada ya mimi kufa?
28 Gadere ye to me all the grettere men in birthe, and techeris, bi youre lynagis, and Y schal speke to hem, herynge these wordis, and Y schal clepe ayens hem heuene and erthe.
Nikusanyieni wazee wote wa makabila yenu, na maafisa wenu, ili nizungumze maneno haya masikioni mwao na kuziita mbingu na nchi kushuhudia dhidi yao.
29 For Y knowe, that aftir my deeth ye schulen do wickidli, and schulen bowe awei soone fro the weie which Y comaundide to you; and yuels schulen come to you in the laste tyme, whanne ye `han do yuel in the siyt of the Lord, that ye terre hym to ire bi the werkis of youre hondis.
Kwa maana najua baada ya kifo changu mtajiharibu kabisa na kugeuka kuiacha njia niliyowaamuru; maafa yatawakumba katika siku zijazo. Haya yatatokea kwa sababu mtafanya yaliyo maovu machoni pa Yahwe, ili kumchokoza katika hasira kwa mikono ya kazi yenu.”
30 Therfor while al the cumpeny of the sones of Israel herde, Moises spak the wordis of this song, and fillide `til to the ende.
Musa alinena masikioni mwa kusanyiko lote la Israeli maneno yote ya wimbo huu hadi yalipokamilika.
