Torati 27
1 Mose na wazee wa Israeli wakawaagiza watu: “Yashikeni maagizo haya yote ninayowaagiza leo.
'And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;
2 Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Mto Yordani na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, msimamishe mawe makubwa na mkayatie lipu.
and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,
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 written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.
4 Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Yordani, simamisheni mawe haya juu ya Mlima Ebali, kama ninavyowaagiza leo, mkayatie lipu.
'And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,
5 Huko mjengeeni Bwana Mungu wenu madhabahu, madhabahu ya mawe. Msitumie kifaa chochote cha chuma juu yake.
and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.
6 Jengeni madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wenu kwa mawe ya shambani, na mtoe sadaka za kuteketezwa juu yake kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,
7 Toeni sadaka za amani juu yake, mkizila na kufurahia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,
8 Nanyi mtaandika maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi sana juu ya mawe haya ambayo mmesimamisha.”
and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'
9 Kisha Mose na makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, wakawaambia Israeli wote, “Nyamaza ee Israeli, sikiliza! Sasa umekuwa taifa la Bwana Mungu wako.
And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, 'Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God;
10 Mtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kufuata amri zake na maagizo ninayokupa leo.”
and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.'
11 Siku ile ile Mose akawaagiza watu:
And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,
12 Mtakapovuka Mto Yordani, makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu kubariki watu: Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari, Yosefu na Benyamini.
'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the 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 do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 Nao Walawi watawasomea watu wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
'And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel — 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 [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, — and all the people have answered and said, Amen.
16 “Alaaniwe mtu amdharauye baba yake na mama yake.”
'Cursed [is] He who is making light of his father and his mother, — and all the people have said, Amen.
17 “Alaaniwe mtu asogezaye jiwe la mpaka wa jirani yake.”
'Cursed [is] he who is removing his neighbour's border, — and all the people have said, Amen.
18 “Alaaniwe mtu ampotoshaye kipofu njiani.”
'Cursed [is] he who is causing the blind to err in the way, — and all the people have said, Amen.
19 “Alaaniwe mtu apotoshaye haki ya mgeni, yatima au mjane.”
'Cursed [is] he who is turning aside the judgment of fatherless, sojourner, and widow, — and all the people have said, Amen.
20 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mke wa baba yake, kwa maana anadharau malazi ya baba yake.”
'Cursed [is] he who is lying with his father's wife, for he hath uncovered his father's skirt, — and all the people have said, Amen.
21 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mnyama yeyote.”
'Cursed [is] he who is lying with any beast, — and all the people have said, Amen.
22 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na dada yake, binti wa baba yake au binti wa mama yake.”
'Cursed [is] he who is lying with his sister, daughter of his father, or daughter of his mother, — and all the people have said, Amen.
23 “Alaaniwe mtu akutanaye kimwili na mama mkwe wake.”
'Cursed [is] he who is lying with his mother-in-law, — and all the people have said, Amen.
24 “Alaaniwe mtu amuuaye jirani yake kwa siri.”
'Cursed [is] he who is smiting his neighbour in secret, — and all the people have said, Amen.
25 “Alaaniwe mtu apokeaye rushwa ili kumuua mtu asiye na hatia.”
'Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, — and all the people have said, Amen.
26 “Alaaniwe mtu yule ambaye hatashikilia maneno ya sheria hii kwa kuyatekeleza.”
'Cursed [is] he who doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, — and all the people have said, Amen.
