Leviticus 26
1 'Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.
“‘Msijitengenezee sanamu au kusimamisha kinyago cha kuchonga, au mnara, wala jiwe la kuabudia, na pia msijiwekee jiwe lililochongwa katika nchi yenu na kusujudu mbele yake. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
2 'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Zishikeni Sabato zangu na kuheshimu mahali patakatifu pangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
3 'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,
“‘Ikiwa mtafuata amri zangu na kuwa waangalifu kutii maagizo yangu,
4 then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;
nitawanyeshea mvua katika majira yake, nayo ardhi itatoa mazao yake, na miti ya mashambani itazaa matunda yake.
5 and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
Kupura nafaka kwenu kutaendelea mpaka wakati wa kuvuna zabibu. Pia kuvuna zabibu kutaendelea mpaka wakati wa kupanda mbegu, nanyi mtakula na kushiba, na mtaishi salama katika nchi yenu.
6 'And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.
“‘Nitawapa amani katika nchi, mpate kulala pasipo kutiwa hofu na yeyote. Nitawaondoa wanyama wakali watoke kwenye nchi, nao upanga hautapita katika nchi yenu.
7 'And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
Mtawafukuza adui zenu, nanyi mtawaua kwa upanga mbele yenu.
8 and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
Watu wenu watano watafukuza adui mia, watu wenu mia watafukuza adui elfu kumi, nao adui zenu wataanguka kwa upanga mbele yenu.
9 'And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
“‘Nitawaangalia kwa upendeleo na kuwafanya mzae na kuzidisha idadi yenu, nami nitalishika Agano langu na ninyi.
10 and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.
Wakati wa kuvuna mtakuwa bado mnakula mavuno ya mwaka uliopita, na itawalazimu kuyaondoa ghalani ili mpate nafasi ya mavuno mapya.
11 'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;
Nitafanya makao yangu miongoni mwenu, nami sitawachukia.
12 and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become My people;
Nitatembea katikati yenu niwe Mungu wenu, nanyi mtakuwa watu wangu.
13 I [am] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.
Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri ili msiendelee kuwa watumwa wa Wamisri, nikavunja kongwa lenu, na kuwawezesha kutembea mkiwa mmeinua vichwa vyenu juu.
14 'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;
“‘Lakini kama hamtanisikiliza na kutimiza maagizo haya yote,
15 and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking My covenant —
nanyi kama mtazikataa amri zangu na kuzichukia sheria zangu, tena mkishindwa kutimiza amri zangu na hivyo mkavunja agano langu,
16 I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;
ndipo nitakapowafanyia hili: Nitawaletea juu yenu hofu ya ghafula, magonjwa ya kufisha, na homa itakayopofusha macho yenu na kuwaondolea uhai wenu. Mtapanda mbegu bila mafanikio, kwa sababu adui zenu wataila.
17 and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.
Nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi yenu ili mshindwe na adui zenu; wale wanaowachukia watawatawala, nanyi mtakimbia ingawa hakuna mtu anayewafukuza.
18 'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;
“‘Kama baada ya haya yote hamtanisikiliza, nitawaadhibu mara saba zaidi kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.
19 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;
Nitakivunja kiburi chenu cha ukaidi na kuifanya anga iliyo juu yenu iwe kama chuma, na ardhi yenu kama shaba.
20 and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.
Nguvu zenu zitatumika bila ya mafanikio, kwa sababu ardhi yenu haitawazalia mazao yake, wala miti ya nchi yenu haitazaa matunda yake.
21 'And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,
“‘Kama mtaendelea kuwa na uadui nami, na kukataa kunisikiliza, nitawazidishia mateso yenu mara saba zaidi, kama dhambi zenu zinavyostahili.
22 and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
Nitawatuma wanyama mwitu dhidi yenu, nao watawaibieni watoto wenu, watawaangamiza ngʼombe wenu, na kuifanya idadi yenu kuwa ndogo, hivi kwamba barabara zenu zitakuwa hazina watu.
23 'And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
“‘Ikiwa pamoja na mambo haya hamtakubali maonyo yangu lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,
24 then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;
mimi mwenyewe nitaweka uadui nanyi, na kuwatesa kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu mara saba zaidi.
25 and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.
Nitawaletea upanga juu yenu ili kuwapatiliza kwa kuvunja Agano langu. Mtakapokimbilia mijini mwenu, nitatuma tauni katikati yenu, nanyi mtatiwa mikononi mwa adui zenu.
26 'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.
Nitakapowaondolea upatikanaji wa mkate wenu, wanawake kumi wataoka mkate wenu katika tanuru moja, nao wataugawa mkate kidogo kwa kupima. Mtakula, lakini hamtashiba.
27 'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
“‘Kama hata baada ya haya bado hamtanisikiliza lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,
28 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.
ndipo katika hasira yangu nitaweka uadui nanyi, nami mwenyewe nitawaadhibu mara saba kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.
29 'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do eat.
Mtakula nyama ya wana wenu na nyama ya binti zenu.
30 And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;
Nitapaharibu mahali penu pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, nibomoe madhabahu zenu za kufukizia uvumba, na kuzilundika maiti zenu juu ya sanamu zenu zisizo na uhai, nami nitawachukia ninyi sana.
31 and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;
Nitaifanya miji yenu kuwa magofu, na kuharibu mahali patakatifu penu pa kuabudia, nami sitapendezwa na harufu nzuri ya sadaka zenu.
32 and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it.
Nitaiharibu nchi, ili adui zenu watakaokuja kuishi humo washangae.
33 And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.
Nitawatawanya ninyi miongoni mwa mataifa, na kuufuta upanga wangu na kuwafuatia. Nchi yenu itaharibiwa, nayo miji yenu itakuwa magofu.
34 'Then doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;
Ndipo nchi itafurahia Sabato zake muda wote ule itakapokuwa ukiwa, nanyi mkiwa katika nchi ya adui zenu. Ndipo nchi itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake.
35 all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.
Wakati wote nchi itakapobaki ukiwa, itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake ambazo haikuzipata mlipokuwa mnaishi humo.
36 'And those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
“‘Kwa habari ya wenzenu wale watakaobaki, nitaifanya mioyo yao kuwa na hofu kuu katika nchi za adui zao, kiasi kwamba sauti ya jani linalopeperushwa na upepo itawafanya wakimbie. Watakimbia kana kwamba wanakimbia upanga, nao wataanguka, ingawa hakuna anayewafukuza.
37 And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,
Watajikwaa mmoja juu ya mwingine kama wakimbiao upanga, hata ingawa hakuna anayewafuatia. Hivyo hamtaweza kusimama mbele ya adui zenu.
38 and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed you.
Mtaangamia katikati ya mataifa; nchi ya adui zenu itawala.
39 'And those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.
Wale wenu watakaobaki wataangamia katika nchi za adui zao kwa sababu ya dhambi zao; pia kwa sababu ya dhambi za baba zao wataangamia.
40 'And — they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,
“‘Lakini kama watatubu dhambi zao na dhambi za baba zao, udanganyifu wao dhidi yangu na uadui wao kwangu,
41 also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, —
ambao ulinifanya niwe na uadui nao hata nikawapeleka katika nchi ya adui zao, wakati mioyo yao isiyotahiriwa itanyenyekea na kutubu dhambi yao,
42 then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.
nami nitakumbuka agano langu na Yakobo, na agano langu na Isaki, na agano langu na Abrahamu, nami nitaikumbuka nchi.
43 'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,
Kwa kuwa wataiacha nchi ukiwa, nayo itafurahia Sabato zake wakati itakuwa ukiwa bila wao. Wataadhibiwa kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, kwa sababu walizikataa sheria zangu na kuzichukia amri zangu.
44 and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah their God; —
Lakini pamoja na hili, wakati watakuwa katika nchi ya adui zao, sitawakataa wala kuwachukia kiasi cha kuwaharibu kabisa na kuvunja agano langu nao. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wao.
45 then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.'
Lakini kwa ajili yao nitalikumbuka agano langu na baba zao, ambao niliwatoa Misri mbele ya mataifa ili niwe Mungu wao. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
46 These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
Hizi ndizo amri, sheria na pia masharti ambazo Bwana alifanya kati yake mwenyewe na Waisraeli katika Mlima Sinai kupitia kwa Mose.
