Torati 27
1 Mose na wazee wa Israeli wakawaagiza watu: “Yashikeni maagizo haya yote ninayowaagiza leo.
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
2 Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Mto Yordani na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, msimamishe mawe makubwa na mkayatie lipu.
And it shall be on the day when you shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set you up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
3 Andikeni juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii wakati mtakapokuwa mmevuka na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama vile Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi.
And you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed over, that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land that flows with milk and honey; as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you.
4 Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Yordani, simamisheni mawe haya juu ya Mlima Ebali, kama ninavyowaagiza leo, mkayatie lipu.
Therefore it shall be when you be gone over Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5 Huko mjengeeni Bwana Mungu wenu madhabahu, madhabahu ya mawe. Msitumie kifaa chochote cha chuma juu yake.
And there shall you build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall not lift up any iron tool on them.
6 Jengeni madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wenu kwa mawe ya shambani, na mtoe sadaka za kuteketezwa juu yake kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of whole stones: and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:
7 Toeni sadaka za amani juu yake, mkizila na kufurahia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God.
8 Nanyi mtaandika maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi sana juu ya mawe haya ambayo mmesimamisha.”
And you shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9 Kisha Mose na makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, wakawaambia Israeli wote, “Nyamaza ee Israeli, sikiliza! Sasa umekuwa taifa la Bwana Mungu wako.
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed, and listen, O Israel; this day you are become the people of the LORD your God.
10 Mtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kufuata amri zake na maagizo ninayokupa leo.”
You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.
11 Siku ile ile Mose akawaagiza watu:
And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
12 Mtakapovuka Mto Yordani, makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu kubariki watu: Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari, Yosefu na Benyamini.
These shall stand on mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
13 Makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Ebali kwa kutamka laana: Reubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dani na Naftali.
And these shall stand on mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 Nao Walawi watawasomea watu wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
15 “Alaaniwe mtu afanyaye sanamu ya kuchonga au mwenye kusubu sanamu, kitu ambacho ni chukizo kwa Bwana, kazi ya mikono ya fundi stadi, na kuisimamisha kwa siri.”
Cursed be the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
16 “Alaaniwe mtu amdharauye baba yake na mama yake.”
Cursed be he that sets light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
17 “Alaaniwe mtu asogezaye jiwe la mpaka wa jirani yake.”
Cursed be he that removes his neighbor’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Cursed be he that makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
19 “Alaaniwe mtu apotoshaye haki ya mgeni, yatima au mjane.”
Cursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
20 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mke wa baba yake, kwa maana anadharau malazi ya baba yake.”
Cursed be he that lies with his father’s wife; because he uncovers his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
21 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mnyama yeyote.”
Cursed be he that lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
22 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na dada yake, binti wa baba yake au binti wa mama yake.”
Cursed be he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
23 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mama mkwe wake.”
Cursed be he that lies with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
24 “Alaaniwe mtu amuuaye jirani yake kwa siri.”
Cursed be he that smites his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
25 “Alaaniwe mtu apokeaye rushwa ili kumuua mtu asiye na hatia.”
Cursed be he that takes reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
26 “Alaaniwe mtu yule ambaye hatashikilia maneno ya sheria hii kwa kuyatekeleza.”
Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
