Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, thou Israel, here the comaundementis and domes whiche Y teche thee, that thou do tho, and lyue, and that thow entre and welde the lond which the Lord God of youre fadris schal yyue to you.
Sasa, Israeli, sikiliza sheria na amri ambayo niko karibu kukufundisha, kuzifanya, ili kwamba uweze kuishi na kuingia ndani na kumiliki nchi ambayo Yahwe, Mungu wa baba zako, anakupa.
2 Ye schulen not adde to the word which Y speke to you, nether ye schulen take awei `fro it; kepe ye the comaundementis of youre Lord God, which Y comaunde to you.
Hautaongeza maneno ambayo nakuamuru, wala hautayapunguza, ili kwamba uweze kushika amri ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambazo naenda kukuamuru.
3 Youre iyen sien alle thingis whiche the Lord dide ayens Belphegor; how he alto brak alle the worschiperis `of hym fro the myddis of you.
Macho yako yamekwisha ona nini Yahwe alifanya kwa sababu ya Baal Peor, kwa kuwa watu wote waliomfuata Baali Peor, Yahwe Mungu wenu amekwisha kuwaangamiza kutoka miongoni mwenu.
4 Forsothe ye that cleuen to youre Lord God lyuen alle `til in to present day.
Lakini walioambatana na Yahwe Mungu wenu wako hai leo, kila moja wenu.
5 Ye witen that Y tauyte you the comaundementis and riytfulnessis, as my Lord God comaundide to me; so ye schulen do tho in the lond whiche ye schulen welde,
Tazama, nimewafundisha sheria na amri, kama Yahwe Mungu wangu alivyoniamuru mimi, ila kwamba mfanye hivyo katikati mwa nchi ambayo mnaiendea ili kusudi muimiliki.
6 and ye schulen kepe, and schulen fille in werk. For this is youre wisdom and vndurstondyng bifor puplis, that alle men here these comaundementis, and seie, Lo! a wise puple and vnderstondynge! a greet folk!
Kwa hiyo washikilieni na kuwafanya, kwa kuwa hii ni hekima yenu na uelewa wenu mbele ya macho ya watu watakaosikia amri hizi zote na kusema, “Hakika taifa hili kubwa lina watu wa hekima na uelewa.'
7 Noon other nacioun is so greet, `not in noumbre ether in bodili quantite, but in dignite, that hath Goddis neiyynge to it silf, as oure God is redi to alle oure bisechyngis.
Kuna taifa gani jingine la vile liko hapo lina mungu karibu nao, kama Yahwe Mungu wetu tunapomwita wakati wowote?
8 For whi what other folk is so noble, that it hath cerymonyes and iust domes, and al the lawe which Y schal `sette forth to dai bifor youre iyen?
Kuna taifa kubwa gani jingine liko hapo ambalo lina sheria na amri ili kwamba haki pamoja na sheria ambayo ninaweka mbele yenu leo?
9 Therfor kepe thi silf, and thi soule bisili; foryete thou not the wordis whiche thin iyen sien, and falle tho not doun fro thin herte, in alle the daies of thi lijf. Thou schalt teche tho thi sones and thi sones sones.
Zingatia peke na kuwa makini kujilinda, ili usisahau mambo ambayo macho yako yameona, ili kwamba yasiuwache moyo wako kwa siku zote za maisha yako. Badala yake, yafanye yajulikane kwa watoto wako na wana watoto wako.
10 Telle thou the day in which thou stodist bifor thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the Lord spak to me, and seide, Gadere thou the puple to me, that it here my wordis, and lerne for to drede me in al tyme in which it lyueth in erthe, and teche hise sones.
Kuhusu siku ile uliyosimama mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako katika Horeb, wakati Yahwe alisema nami, 'Nikusanyie watu, na nitawafanya wasikia maneno yangu, ili kwamba waweze kujifunza kuniogopa mimi siku zote ambazo wanazoishi duniani, na kwamba waweze kuwafundisha watoto wao.
11 And ye neiyiden to the `roote of the hille, that brente `til to heuene; and derknessis, and cloude, and myist weren therynne.
Mlikuja karibu na kusimama katika wayo wa mlima. Mlima uliwaka moto kwenye moyo wa mbinguni, pamoja na giza, mawingu na giza jembamba.
12 And the Lord spak to you fro the myddis of fier; ye herden the vois of hise wordis, and outirli ye sien no fourme.
Yahwe alizungumza katikati ya moto, ulisikia suati pamoja na maneno yake, lakini hakuona umbo, ila ulisikia sauti peke.
13 And he schewide to you his couenaunt, which he comaundide, that ye schulden do, and `he schewide ten wordis, whiche he wroot in two tablis of stoon.
Alitangaza kwenu agano lake ambalo aliwaamuru ninyi kulifanya, amri kumi. Aliziandika kwenye vibao viwili vya mawe.
14 And he comaundide to me in that tyme, that Y schulde teche you cerymonyes and domes, whiche ye owen to do in the lond whiche ye schulen welde.
Yahwe aliniamuru mimi kwa wakati huo kuwafundisha sheria na amri, ili kwamba muweze kuzifanya katika nchi mnaoivuka kwenda kuimiliki.
15 Therfor kepe ye bisili youre soulis; ye sien not ony licnesse in the dai in which the Lord spak to you in Oreb, fro the myddis of the fier;
Basi iweni waangalifu ninyi wenyewe - kwa kuwa mliona hakuna namna ya umbo siku hiyo ambapo Yahweh alizungumza nanyi huko Horeb kutoka katikati mwa moto,
16 lest perauenture ye be disseyued and make to you a grauun licnesse, ether an ymage of male, ether of female;
ili kwamba usiharibike na kuchonga umbo katika sura ya kiumbe chochote, umbo la mwanaume au mtu wa kike,
17 a licnesse of alle beestis that ben on erthe, ether of bridis fleynge vndur heuene,
au sura ya mnyama aliye katika nchi, au sura ya ndege yoyote wa mabawa arukae katika anga, au
18 and of crepynge beestis that ben moued in erthe, ether of fischis that dwellen vndur the erthe in watris; lest perauenture,
sura ya kitu chochote kitambaacho katika ardhi, au sura ya samaki yoyote katika maji chini ya ardhi.
19 whanne thin iyen ben reisid to heuene, thou se the sonne, and moone, and alle the sterris of heuene, and be disseyued bi errour, and worschipe tho, `bi outermer reuerence, and onour, `bi ynner reuerence, `tho thingis whiche thi Lord God made of nouyt, in to seruyce to alle folkis that ben vndur heuene.
Hautainua macho yako juu mbinguni na kutazama jua, mwezi, au nyota - jeshi lote la mbinguni- ukusogezwa na kuviabudu na kuvisujudia- vile vyote ambavyo Yahwe Mungu wenu amewapa hisa watu wote walio chini ya anga lote.
20 Forsothe the Lord took you, and ledde out of the yrun furneys of Egipt, that he schulde haue a puple of eritage, as it is in `present dai.
Lakini Yahwe amewatoa ninyi na kuwaleta nje ya tanuru la chuma, nje ya Misri, kuwa kwake watu wa urithi wake, kama mlivyo leo.
21 And the Lord was wrooth ayens me for youre wordis, and swoor that Y schulde not passe Jordan, and schulde not entre in to the beeste lond, which he schal yyue to you.
Yahwe alinikasirikia mimi kwa sababu yenu; aliapa kwamba nisiende ng'ambo ya Yordani, na kwamba nisiende kwenye nchi nzuri, nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa ninyi kama urithi.
22 Lo! Y die in this erthe; Y schal not passe Jordan; ye schulen passe, and schulen welde the noble lond.
Badala yake, ninapaswa kufa katika nchi hii, sipaswi kwenda ng'ambo ya Yordani, lakini mtaenda ng'ambo na kuimiliki nchi nzuri
23 Be thou war, lest ony tyme thou foryete the couenaunt of thi Lord God, which he made with thee, and lest thou make to thee a grauun licness of tho thingis whiche the Lord forbeed to make.
Zingatia ninyi wenyewe, ili kwamba msisahau agano la Yahwe Mungu wenu, alilolifanya pamoja nanyi, na kujichongea mfano wa sanamu katika uombo la kitu chochote ambacho Yahwe Mungu wenu amewakataza kufanya.
24 For thi Lord God is fier wastynge; `God, a feruent louyere.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu ni moto ulao, Mungu wa wivu.
25 If ye gendren sones, and sones of sones, and ye dwellen in the lond, and ye be disceyued, and make to you ony licnesse, and doen yuel bifor youre Lord God, that ye terren hym to greet wrathe,
Wakati mnapozaa watoto na wana watoto, na wakati mtakapo kuwa katika nchi kwa muda mrefu, na kama mtaharibikiwa ninyi na kuchonga umbo la umbo lolote, na kufanya uovu machoni pa Yahwe Mungu wenu, kumchoche katika hasira-
26 Y clepe witnesses to dai heuene and erthe, `that is, ech resonable creature beynge in heuene and in erthe, that ye schulen perische soone fro the lond, which ye schulen welde, whanne ye han passid Jordan; ye schulen not dwelle long tyme therynne, but the Lord schal do awey you,
Nitaita nchi na mbingu kushuhudia dhidi yenu leo kwa kuwa mapema kabisa mtaangamia kutoka katika nchi ambayo mnaiendea huko ng'ambo ya Yordani kuimiliki, hamtazidisha siku zenu ndani yake, lakini mtaangamizwa kabisa.
27 and schal scatere `in to alle hethen men, and ye schulen leeue fewe among naciouns, to whiche the Lord schal lede you.
Yahwe atawatawanyisha ninyi miongoni mwa watu, na mtabaki wachache ki-idadi miongoni mwa mataifa, ambapo Yahwe atawaongoza mbali.
28 And there ye schulen serue to goddis, that ben maad bi `the hond of men, to a tre and a stoon, that `seen not, nether heren, nether eten, nether smellen.
Huko mtatumikia miungu mingine, kazi ya mikono ya watu, mbao na mawe, ambayo wala haioni, kusikia, wala kunusa.
29 And whanne thou hast souyt there thi Lord God, thou schalt fynde hym; if netheles thou sekist with al the herte, and with al the tribulacioun of thi soule.
Lakini kuanzia hapo mtamtafuta Yahwe Mungu wenu, na mtampata, wakati mtakapomtafuta kwa moyo wenu wote na roho zenu zote.
30 Aftir that alle thingis han founde thee, that ben biforseid, forsothe in the laste tyme, thou schalt turne ayen to thi Lord God, and thou schalt here his vois.
Wakati mnakuwa katika dhiki, na wakati haya yote yatakuwa yamekuja kwenu, katika siku za badae mtamrudia Yahwe Mungu wenu na kusikia sauti yake.
31 For thi Lord God is merciful God; he schal not forsake thee, nethir he schal do awey outirli, nethir he schal foryete the couenaunt, in which he swoor to thi fadris.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu ni Mungu wa rehema; hatawaangusha wala kuwaangamiza ninyi, wala kusahau agano la baba zenu ambalo aliapa kwao.
32 Axe thou of elde daies that weren bifor thee, fro the day in which thi Lord God made of nouyt man on erthe, axe thou fro that oon ende of heuene `til to the tother ende therof, if sich a thing was doon ony tyme, ether if it was euere knowun,
Kwa ajili ya kuuliza sasa kuhusu siku zilizopita ambazo zilikuwa mbele yenu: tangu siku ile ambayo Mungu alimuumba mtu katika nchi, kutoka pande moja ya mbingu hadi nyingine, uliza kama kumekuwepo chochote kama hiki kikubwa, au chochote kama hicho imewahi kusikiwa?
33 that a puple herde the vois of God spekynge fro the myddis of the fier, as thou herdist, and siest;
Ilishawahi kutokea watu kusikia sauti ya Mungu kuongea katikati ya moto, kama mlivyosikia, na kuishi?
34 if God `dide, that he entride, and took to him silf a folc fro the middis of naciouns, bi temptaciouns, myraclis, and grete wondris, bi batel, and strong hond, and arm holdun forth, and orrible siytis, bi alle thingis whiche youre Lord God dide for you in Egipt, `while thin iyen sien;
Au Mungu ameshawahi kujaribu kwenda na kujichukulia kwa ajili yake taifa kutoka miongoni mwa taifa, kwa majaribu, ishara na maajabu na kwa vita, na mkono wa nguvu, na mkono ulionyoshwa, na magaidi wakuu, vile vyovyote ambavyo Yahwe Mungu wenu alifanya kwa ajili yenu Misri mbele ya macho yenu?
35 that thou schuldist wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon other is, outakun oon.
Kwenu haya yalioneshwa, ili muweze kujua kuwa Yahwe ni Mungu, na kwamba hakuna mwingine zaidi yake.
36 Fro heuene he made thee to here his vois, that he schulde teche thee; and in erthe he schewide to thee his grettiste fier, and thou herdist the wordis `of hym fro the myddis of the fier;
Toka mbinguni alifanya msikie sauti yake, ili kwamba aweze kuwaelekeza, juu ya nchi aliwafanya muone moto wake mkuu, mlisikia maneno yake toka katikati ya moto.
37 for he louyde thi fadris, and chees her seed aftir hem. And he ledde thee out of Egipt, and yede bifore in his greet vertu,
Kwa sababu aliwapenda baba zenu, alichagua wazao wao baada yao, na kuwatoa ninyi Misri kwa uwepo wake, kwa nguvu yake kubwa,
38 that he schulde do awei grettiste naciouns, and strongere than thou, in thin entryng, and that he schulde lede thee ynne, and schulde yyue to thee the lond `of hem in to possessioun, as thou seest in `present day.
ili kusudi awatowe kutoka mbele ya mataifa makubwa na yenye nguvu kuliko ninyi, kuwaleta ndani, kuwapa ninyi nchi yao kama urithi, hivi leo.
39 Therfor wite thou to dai, and thenke in thin herte, that the Lord him silfe is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe, and noon other is.
Tambua hivi leo, weka kwenye moyo wako, Yahwe ni Mungu juu ya mbingu na chini ya dunia, hakuna mwingine yeyote.
40 Kepe thou hise heestis, and comaundementis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, and that thou dwelle mych tyme on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.
Mtazishika sheria zake na amri zake ambazo nawaamuru leo, ili kwamba iweze kuwa vizuri kwenu na watoto wenu baada yenu, na kwamba muweze kuongeza siku zenu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu amewapa milele.”
41 Thanne Moises departide thre citees biyende Jordan at the eest coost,
Kisha Musa alichagua miji mitatu mashariki mwa Yordani,
42 that he fle to tho, that sleeth his neighbore not wilfuli, and was not enemy bifore oon and `the tother dai, and that he mai fle to summe of these citees;
ili kwamba yoyote aweze kukimbia kati ya moja yao kama imemuua mtu mwingine kwa ajili, pasipo kuwa adui hapo awali. Kwa kukimbilia kwenye moja ya miji hii, atakuwa amenusurika.
43 Bosor in the wildirnesse, which is set in the feeldi lond, of the lynage of Ruben; and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the lynage of Gad; and Golan in Basan, which is in the lynage of Manasses.
Walikuwa: Bezeri katika jangwa, nchi tambarare, kwa Warubenites; Ramothi huko Gileadi, kwa Gadites; na Golani huko Bashani, kwa Manassites.
44 This is the lawe which Moises `settide forth bifor the sones of Israel,
Hii ni sheria ambayo Musa aliweka mbele ya watu wa Israeli,
45 and these ben the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche he spak to the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of Egipt,
hizi ni amri za agano, sheria, na amri zingine alizungumza na watu wa Israeli wakati walipotoka Misri,
46 biyende Jordan, in the valey ayens the temple of Phegor, in the lond of Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, that dwellide in Esebon, whom Moises killide. And the sones of Israel yeden out of Egipt, and weldiden `the lond of him,
pindi walikuwa Mashariki mwa Yordani, katika bonde mkabala wa Beth Peori, katika nchi ya Sihoni, mfalme wa Amorites, aliyewahi kuishi Heshbon, ambaye Musa na watu wa Israeli waliwahi kumshinda wakati walipotoka Misri.
47 and the lond of Og, kyng of Basan, twei kyngis of Ammoreis, that weren biyende Jordan, at the rysyng of the sunne;
Walichukua nchi yake kama urithi, na nchi ya Ogi mfalme wa Bashani- hawa, wafalme wawili wa Amorites, waliokuwa ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani kuelekea Mashariki.
48 fro Aroer which is set on the brenke of the stronde of Arnon, `til to the hil of Seon, which is Hermon;
Himaya hii ilienda kutoka Aroer, katika ukingo wa bonde la Arnon, kwa mlima wa Sion (mlima Hermon),
49 thei weldiden al the pleyn biyende Jordan, at the eest coost, `til to the see of wildirnesse, and `til to the rootis of the hil of Phasga.
na ilijumuisha tambarare zote za bonde la mto Yordani, Mashariki mwa ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, kuelekea bahari ya Arabah, kuelekea miteremko ya mlima Pisgah.
