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,
It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Jehovah your God has driven you,
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 shall return to Jehovah your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
3 ndipo Bwana Mungu wako atakapokurudisha kutoka utumwani na kukuhurumia, naye atakukusanya tena kutoka mataifa yote kule alikutawanya.
that then Jehovah your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Jehovah your God has scattered you.
4 Hata kama umefukuziwa katika nchi ya mbali kiasi gani chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Bwana Mungu wako atakukusanya na kukurudisha.
If any of you are driven out to the farthest horizon, from there will Jehovah your God gather you, and from there he will bring you back:
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 your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your 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.
Jehovah your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your descendants, to love Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
7 Bwana Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote juu ya adui zako ambao wanakuchukia na kukutesa.
Jehovah your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
8 Utamtii tena Bwana na kuzishika amri zake zote ninazokupa leo.
You shall return and obey the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command you 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,
Jehovah your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your ground, and in the fruit of your livestock, for Jehovah will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your 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 you shall obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
11 Ninachokuagiza leo sio kigumu sana kwako au usichokiweza.
For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.
12 Hakiko juu mbinguni, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayepanda mbinguni kukileta na kututangazia ili tuweze kutii?”
It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up into heaven for us, and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, that we may obey it?"
13 Wala hakiko ngʼambo ya bahari, ili uulize, “Ni nani atakayevuka bahari kwenda kukichukua na kututangazia ili tupate kutii?”
And it is not in the deep of the sea, that you should say, "Who will go down into the deep of the sea for us, and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may obey 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 near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart and in your hand, so that you can do it.
15 Tazama, naweka mbele yako leo uzima na mafanikio, mauti na maangamizo.
Look, I have set before you 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.
If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God that I command you this day to love Jehovah your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land where you are going to possess it.
17 Lakini kama moyo wako ukigeukia mbali ukawa huna utii, kama umevutwa kuisujudia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,
But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 nakutangazia leo hii kwamba hakika utaangamizwa. Hutaishi maisha marefu katika nchi unayovuka Yordani kuiingia na kuimiliki.
I declare to you this day that you will certainly perish; you will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
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 against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants;
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.
to love Jehovah your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
