Torati 29
1 Haya ndiyo maneno ya Agano Bwana aliyomwagiza Mose kufanya na Waisraeli huko Moabu, kuwa nyongeza ya Agano alilofanya nao huko Horebu.
These are the wordes of the couenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the lande of Moab beside the couenant which hee had made with them in Horeb.
2 Mose akawaita Waisraeli wote akawaambia: Macho yenu yameona yale yote Bwana aliyofanya kwa Mfalme Farao huko Misri, kwa maafisa wake wote na kwa nchi yake yote.
And Moses called all Israel, and said vnto them, Ye haue seene all that the Lord did before your eyes in the lande of Egypt vnto Pharaoh and vnto all his seruantes, and vnto all his lande,
3 Kwa macho yenu wenyewe mliona yale majaribu makubwa, ishara zile za miujiza na maajabu makubwa.
The great tentations which thine eyes haue seene, those great miracles and wonders:
4 Lakini mpaka leo Bwana hajawapa akili ya kuelewa au macho yanayoona au masikio yanayosikia.
Yet the Lord hath not giuen you an heart to perceiue, and eyes to see, and eares to heare, vnto this day.
5 Kwa muda wa miaka arobaini niliyowaongoza jangwani, nguo zenu hazikuchakaa, wala viatu miguuni mwenu.
And I haue led you fourty yere in the wildernesse: your clothes are not waxed olde vpon you, neyther is thy shooe waxed olde vpon thy foote.
6 Hamkula mkate na hamkunywa divai wala kileo chochote. Nilifanya hivi ili mpate kujua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
Ye haue eaten no bread, neither drunke wine, nor strong drinke, that ye might know how that I am the Lord your God.
7 Wakati mlipofika mahali hapa, Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni na Ogu mfalme wa Bashani walikuja kupigana dhidi yetu, lakini tuliwashinda.
After, ye came vnto this place, and Sihon King of Heshbon, and Og King of Bashan came out against vs vnto battell, and we slewe them,
8 Tuliichukua nchi yao na kuwapa Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase kama urithi wao.
And tooke their lande, and gaue it for an inheritance vnto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh.
9 Fuateni kwa bidii masharti ya Agano hili, ili kwamba mweze kustawi katika kila kitu mnachofanya.
Keepe therefore the wordes of this couenant and doe them, that ye may prosper in all that ye shall doe.
10 Ninyi nyote leo mnasimama mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu; mkiwa viongozi na wakuu wenu, wazee na maafisa wenu, na wanaume wengine wote wa Israeli,
Ye stand this day euery one of you before the Lord your God: your heads of your tribes, your Elders and your officers, eue al ye me of Israel:
11 pamoja na watoto wenu, wake zenu na pia wageni waishio katika kambi zenu wanaowapasulia kuni na kuwachotea maji.
Your children, your wiues, and thy stranger that is in thy campe from the hewer of thy wood, vnto the drawer of thy water,
12 Mnasimama hapa ili kufanya Agano na Bwana Mungu wenu, Agano ambalo Mungu analifanya nanyi siku hii ya leo na kulitia muhuri kwa kiapo,
That thou shouldest passe into the couenant of the Lord thy God, and into his othe which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day,
13 kuwathibitisha ninyi siku hii ya leo kama taifa lake, ili aweze kuwa Mungu wenu kama alivyowaahidi na kama alivyowaapia baba zenu Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo.
For to establish thee this day a people vnto him selfe, and that he may be vnto thee a God, as he hath said vnto thee, and as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
14 Ninafanya Agano hili pamoja na kiapo chake, sio na ninyi tu
Neither make I this couenant, and this othe with you onely,
15 mnaosimama hapa na sisi leo mbele za Bwana Mungu wetu, bali pia pamoja na wale ambao hawapo hapa leo.
But aswel with him that standeth here with vs this day before the Lord our God, as with him that is not here with vs this day.
16 Ninyi wenyewe mnajua jinsi tulivyoishi nchini Misri na jinsi tulivyopita katikati ya nchi mpaka tukafika hapa.
For ye knowe, how we haue dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed thorowe the middes of the nations, which ye passed by.
17 Mliona miongoni mwao vinyago vyao vya kuchukiza na sanamu za miti na mawe, za fedha na dhahabu.
And ye haue seene their abominations and their idoles (wood, and stone, siluer and golde) which were among them,
18 Hakikisheni kwamba hakuna mwanaume au mwanamke, ukoo au kabila miongoni mwenu leo ambalo moyo wake utamwacha Bwana Mungu wetu, kwenda kuabudu miungu ya mataifa hayo. Hakikisheni hakuna mzizi miongoni mwenu unaotoa sumu chungu ya namna hii.
That there should not be among you man nor woman, nor familie, nor tribe, which should turne his heart away this day from the Lord our God, to goe and serue the gods of these nations, and that there shoulde not be among you any roote that bringeth forth gall and wormewood,
19 Wakati mtu wa namna hii asikiapo maneno ya kiapo hiki, hujibariki mwenyewe na kisha hufikiri, “Nitakuwa salama, hata kama nikiendelea kuifuata njia yangu mwenyewe.” Hili litaleta maafa juu ya nchi iliyonyeshewa sawasawa na nchi kame.
So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he blesse him selfe in his heart, saying, I shall haue peace, although I walke according to the stubburnes of mine owne heart, thus adding drunkennesse to thirst.
20 Bwana kamwe hatakuwa radhi kumsamehe, ghadhabu na wivu wa Mungu vitawaka dhidi ya mtu huyo. Laana zote zilizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki zitamwangukia na Bwana atafuta jina lake chini ya mbingu.
The Lord will not be mercifull vnto him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his ielousie shall smoke against that man, and euery curse that is written in this booke, shall light vpon him, and the Lord shall put out his name from vnder heauen,
21 Bwana atamtwaa peke yake kutoka makabila ya Israeli kwa maangamizo, kulingana na laana zote za Agano zilizoandikwa kwenye Kitabu hiki cha Sheria.
And the Lord shall separate him vnto euil out of all the tribes of Israel, according vnto all the curses of the couenant, that is written in the booke of this Lawe.
22 Watoto wako watakaofuata baada yako katika vizazi vya baadaye na wageni ambao watakuja kutoka nchi za mbali, wataona maafa, yaliyoipata nchi na magonjwa ambayo Bwana aliyaleta juu yake.
So that the generatio to come, euen your children, that shall rise vp after you, and the stranger, that shall come from a farre lande, shall say, when they shall see the plagues of this lande, and the diseases thereof, wherewith the Lord shall smite it:
23 Nchi yote itakuwa jaa linaloungua la chumvi na kiberiti: hakutakuwa kilichopandwa, hakutakuwa kinachochipua, wala hakutakuwa mimea inayoota juu yake. Itakuwa kama maangamizo ya Sodoma na Gomora, Adma na Seboimu, ambazo Bwana aliangamiza kwa hasira kali.
(For all that land shall burne with brimstone and salt: it shall not be sowen, nor bring forth, nor any grasse shall growe therein, like as in the ouerthrowing of Sodom, and Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthrewe in his wrath and in his anger)
24 Mataifa yote yatauliza: “Kwa nini Bwana amefanya hivi juu ya nchi hii? Kwa nini hasira hii kali ikawaka?”
Then shall all nations say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this lande? how fierce is this great wrath?
25 Na jibu litakuwa: “Ni kwa sababu watu hawa waliacha Agano la Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, Agano alilofanya nao wakati alipowatoa katika nchi ya Misri.
And they shall answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
26 Walienda zao na kuabudu miungu mingine na kuisujudia, miungu wasioijua, miungu ambayo Mungu hakuwapa.
And went and serued other gods and worshipped them: euen gods which they knewe not, and which had giuen them nothing,
27 Kwa hiyo hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya nchi hii, hivyo Mungu akaleta juu yake laana zote zilizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
Therefore the wrath of the Lord waxed hot against this land, to bring vpon it euery curse that is written in this booke.
28 Katika hasira kali na katika ghadhabu kuu Bwana aliwangʼoa kutoka nchi yao na kuwasukumia katika nchi nyingine, kama ilivyo sasa.”
And ye Lord hath rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and hath cast them into another land, as appeareth this day.
29 Mambo ya siri ni ya Bwana Mungu wetu, bali yaliyofunuliwa ni yetu na watoto wetu milele, ili tuweze kuyafanya maneno yote ya sheria hii.
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things reueiled belong vnto vs, and to our children for euer, that we may doe all the wordes of this Lawe.
