Torati 30
1 Wakati baraka hizi zote pamoja na laana nilizoziweka mbele yako zitakapokujia, nawe ukazitafakari moyoni popote Bwana Mungu wako atakapokutawanya miongoni mwa mataifa,
And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt take them to heart among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee,
2 hapo wewe na watoto wako mtakapomrudia Bwana Mungu wako, na kumtii kwa moyo wako wote na kwa roho yako yote kulingana na kila kitu ninachokuamuru leo,
and shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart and with all thy soul;
3 ndipo Bwana Mungu wako atakapokurudisha kutoka utumwani na kukuhurumia, naye atakukusanya tena kutoka mataifa yote kule alikutawanya.
that then Jehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will gather thee again from all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.
4 Hata kama umefukuziwa katika nchi ya mbali kiasi gani chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Bwana Mungu wako atakukusanya na kukurudisha.
Though there were of you driven out unto the end of the heavens, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee;
5 Yeye Bwana atakurudisha katika nchi iliyokuwa mali ya baba zako, nawe utaimiliki. Naye atakufanya ufanikiwe sana na kukuzidisha kwa idadi kuliko baba zako.
and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land that thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 Bwana Mungu wako ataitahiri mioyo yenu na mioyo ya wazao wenu ili mweze kumpenda kwa moyo wako wote na kwa roho yako yote ukaishi.
And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 Bwana Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote juu ya adui zako ambao wanakuchukia na kukutesa.
And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses on thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.
8 Utamtii tena Bwana na kuzishika amri zake zote ninazokupa leo.
But thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
9 Ndipo Bwana Mungu wako atakapokufanikisha sana katika kazi zote za mikono yako na katika uzao wa tumbo lako, wadogo wa mifugo yako na mazao ya nchi yako. Bwana atakufurahia tena na kukufanikisha, kama alivyowafurahia baba zako,
And Jehovah thy God will make thee abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;
10 kama ukimtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kuzishika amri zake na maagizo yake ambayo yameandikwa katika Kitabu hiki cha Sheria, na kumgeukia Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa roho yako yote.
if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn to Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
11 Ninachokuagiza leo sio kigumu sana kwako au usichokiweza.
For this commandment which I command thee this day is not too wonderful for thee, neither is it far off.
12 Hakiko juu mbinguni, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayepanda mbinguni kukileta na kututangazia ili tuweze kutii?”
It is not in the heavens, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to the heavens, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it?
13 Wala hakiko ngʼambo ya bahari, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayevuka bahari kwenda kukichukua na kututangazia ili tupate kutii?”
And it is not beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it?
14 La hasha! Lile neno liko karibu sana nawe; liko kinywani mwako na ndani ya moyo wako ili uweze kulitii.
For the word is very near to thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 Tazama, naweka mbele yako leo uzima na mafanikio, mauti na maangamizo.
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,
16 Ninakuamuru leo kwamba umpende Bwana Mungu wako, utembee katika njia zake, na kutunza maagizo yake, amri na sheria zake; ndipo utakapoishi na kuongezeka, naye Bwana Mungu wako atakubariki katika nchi unayoingia kuimiliki.
in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 Lakini kama moyo wako ukigeukia mbali ukawa huna utii, kama umevutwa kuisujudia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,
But if thy heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and thou shalt bow down to other gods and serve them;
18 nakutangazia leo hii kwamba hakika utaangamizwa. Hutaishi maisha marefu katika nchi unayovuka Yordani kuiingia na kuimiliki.
I denounce unto you this day that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days upon the land whereunto thou passest over the Jordan to possess it.
19 Leo ninaziita mbingu na nchi kama mashahidi dhidi yako kwamba nimeweka mbele yako uzima na mauti, baraka na laana. Basi sasa chagueni uzima, ili wewe na watoto wako mpate kuishi,
I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you: life and death have I set before you, blessing and cursing: choose then life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed,
20 na ili upate kumpenda Bwana Mungu wako, uisikilize sauti yake na kuambatana naye. Kwa kuwa Bwana ndiye uzima wako, na atakupa wingi wa siku ili upate kuishi katika nchi aliyoapa kuwapa baba zako Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo.
in loving Jehovah thy God, in hearkening to his voice, and in cleaving to him — for this is thy life and the length of thy days — that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
