< 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,
Nowe when all these things shall come vpon thee, either the blessing or the curse which I haue set before thee, and thou shalt turne into thine heart, among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath driuen 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 returne vnto the Lord thy God, and obey his voyce in all that I commaund thee this day: thou, and thy children with all thine heart and with all thy soule,
3 ndipo Bwana Mungu wako atakapokurudisha kutoka utumwani na kukuhurumia, naye atakukusanya tena kutoka mataifa yote kule alikutawanya.
Then the Lord thy God wil cause thy captiues to returne, and haue compassion vpon thee, and wil returne, to gather thee out of all the people, where the Lord thy God had scattered thee.
4 Hata kama umefukuziwa katika nchi ya mbali kiasi gani chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Bwana Mungu wako atakukusanya na kukurudisha.
Though thou werest cast vnto the vtmost part of heauen, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence wil he take 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 the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possesse it, and he will shewe thee fauour, and will multiplie thee aboue 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 the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seede, that thou mayest loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with al thy soule, that thou maiest liue.
7 Bwana Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote juu ya adui zako ambao wanakuchukia na kukutesa.
And the Lord thy God will lay all these curses vpon thine enemies, and on them, that hate thee, and that persecute thee.
8 Utamtii tena Bwana na kuzishika amri zake zote ninazokupa leo.
Returne thou therefore, and obey the voyce of the Lord, and do all his commandements, which I commaund 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 the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in euery worke of thine hande, in the fruite of thy bodie, and in the fruite of thy cattel, and in the fruite of the lande for thy wealth: for the Lord will turne againe, and reioyce ouer thee to do thee good, as he reioyced ouer 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.
Because thou shalt obey the voyce of the Lord thy God, in keeping his comandements, and his ordinances, which are written in the booke of this Law, when thou shalt returne vnto the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with al thy soule.
11 Ninachokuagiza leo sio kigumu sana kwako au usichokiweza.
For this commandement which I commande thee this day, is not hid from thee, neither is it farre off.
12 Hakiko juu mbinguni, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayepanda mbinguni kukileta na kututangazia ili tuweze kutii?”
It is not in heauen, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go vp for vs to heauen, and bring it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may doe it?
13 Wala hakiko ngʼambo ya bahari, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayevuka bahari kwenda kukichukua na kututangazia ili tupate kutii?”
Neither is it beyonde the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go ouer the sea for vs, and bring it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may do it?
14 La hasha! Lile neno liko karibu sana nawe; liko kinywani mwako na ndani ya moyo wako ili uweze kulitii.
But the word is very neere vnto thee: euen in thy mouth and in thine heart, for to do it.
15 Tazama, naweka mbele yako leo uzima na mafanikio, mauti na maangamizo.
Beholde, I haue set before thee this day life and good, death and euill,
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 commaund thee this day, to loue the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his commandements, and his ordinances, and his lawes, that thou mayest liue, and be multiplied, and that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in the land, whither thou goest to possesse it.
17 Lakini kama moyo wako ukigeukia mbali ukawa huna utii, kama umevutwa kuisujudia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,
But if thine heart turne away, so that thou wilt not obey, but shalt be seduced and worship other gods, and serue them,
18 nakutangazia leo hii kwamba hakika utaangamizwa. Hutaishi maisha marefu katika nchi unayovuka Yordani kuiingia na kuimiliki.
I pronounce vnto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, ye shall not prolong your dayes in the lande, whither thou passest ouer Iorden to possesse 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 heauen and earth to recorde this day against you, that I haue set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. therefore chuse life, that both thou and thy seede may liue,
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.
By louing the Lord thy God, by obeying his voyce, and by cleauing vnto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy dayes: that thou mayest dwell in the lande which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue them.
