Torati 10
1 Wakati ule Bwana aliniambia, “Chonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza uje kwangu juu mlimani. Pia utengeneze Sanduku la mbao.
“At that time YHWH has said to me, Hew two tablets of stone for yourself like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and you have made an ark of wood for yourself,
2 Nitaandika juu ya vibao maneno yaliyokuwa katika vile vibao vya kwanza, ambavyo ulivivunja. Kisha utaviweka ndani ya Sanduku.”
and I write on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets, which you have broken, and you have placed them in the Ark.
3 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.
And I make an ark of shittim wood, and hew two tablets of stone like the first, and go up to the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
4 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.
And He writes on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which YHWH has spoken to you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and YHWH gives them to me,
5 Kisha nikashuka kutoka mlimani na kuweka vibao ndani ya Sanduku nililokuwa nimelitengeneza, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza, navyo viko huko sasa.
and I turn and come down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the Ark which I had made, and they are there, as YHWH commanded me.
6 (Waisraeli walisafiri kutoka visima vya Yaakani hadi Mosera. Huko Aroni alifariki na kuzikwa, naye Eleazari mwanawe akachukua nafasi yake kama kuhani.
And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera; Aaron died there, and he is buried there, and his son Eleazar acts as priest in his stead.
7 Kutoka pale, walisafiri hadi Gudgoda wakaendelea mpaka Yotbatha, nchi yenye vijito vya maji.
From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8 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.
At that time YHWH has separated the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name to this day;
9 Hiyo ndiyo sababu ya Walawi kutokuwa na sehemu wala urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zao; Bwana ndiye urithi wao, kama Bwana Mungu wao alivyowaambia.)
therefore there has not been a portion and inheritance for Levi with his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as your God YHWH has spoken to him.
10 Basi nilikaa mlimani kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, kama nilivyofanya mara ya kwanza, pia Bwana alinisikiliza hata wakati huu. Haikuwa nia yake kuwaangamiza.
And I have stood in the mountain, as the former days, [for] forty days and forty nights, and YHWH also listens to me at that time; YHWH has not willed to destroy you.
11 Bwana akaniambia, “Nenda, ukawaongoze watu katika njia yao ili kwamba waweze kuingia na kuimiliki nchi ile niliyowaapia baba zao kuwapa.”
And YHWH says to me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
12 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,
And now, O Israel, what is your God YHWH asking from you, except to fear your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 na kuyashika maagizo ya Bwana na amri zake ninazokupa leo kwa mafanikio yako mwenyewe?
to keep the commands of YHWH, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for good for you?
14 Mbingu, hata mbingu za juu sana, dunia na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake, ni mali ya Bwana Mungu wako.
Behold, the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, [belong] to your God YHWH, [as does] the earth and all that [is] in it.
15 Hata hivyo Bwana alikuwa na shauku na baba zako, akawapenda na akawachagua ninyi, wazao wao, kuliko mataifa yote, kama ilivyo leo.
Only, YHWH has delighted in your fathers, to love them, and He fixes on their seed after them—on you, out of all the peoples, as [at] this day.
16 Kwa hiyo tahirini mioyo yenu, na msiwe na shingo ngumu tena.
And you have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and you do not harden your neck anymore.
17 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.
For He, your God YHWH, [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords—the great, the mighty, and the fearful God, who does not accept by appearances, nor takes a bribe;
18 Huwapigania yatima na wajane, humpenda mgeni, akimpa chakula na mavazi.
He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give bread and raiment to him.
19 Nanyi wapendeni wageni, kwa kuwa ninyi wenyewe mlikuwa wageni huko Misri.
And you have loved the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
20 Mche Bwana Mungu wako na umtumikie yeye. Shikamana naye kwa uthabiti na kuapa kwa jina lake.
You fear your God YHWH, you serve Him, and you cleave to Him, and you swear by His Name.
21 Yeye ni sifa yako; yeye ni Mungu wako, ambaye alikutendea yale maajabu makubwa na ya kutisha uliyoyaona kwa macho yako mwenyewe.
He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done these great and fearful [things] with you which your eyes have seen.
22 Baba zako walioshuka kwenda Misri jumla yao walikuwa sabini, na sasa Bwana Mungu wako amekufanya wengi kama nyota za angani.
Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now your God YHWH has made you as [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.”
