Torati 6
1 Haya ndiyo maagizo, amri na sheria ambazo Bwana Mungu wenu aliniagiza niwafundishe ninyi ili mpate kuyashika katika nchi ambayo ninyi mnavuka Yordani kuimiliki,
Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;
2 ili kwamba ninyi, watoto wenu na watoto wao baada yao wamche Bwana Mungu wenu siku zote kwa kushika amri na maagizo yake yote ninayowapa, ili mweze kuyafurahia maisha marefu.
that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Sikia, ee Israeli, nawe uwe mwangalifu kutii ili upate kufanikiwa na kuongezeka sana katika nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi ninyi.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Sikia, ee Israeli: Bwana Mungu wako, Bwana ni mmoja.
Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
5 Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote, na kwa nguvu zako zote.
and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 Amri hizi ninazokupa leo zitakuwa katika moyo wako.
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
7 Wafundishe watoto wako kwa bidii. Nena kuhusu amri hizi uketipo nyumbani na wakati utembeapo njiani, ulalapo na uamkapo.
and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 Zifunge kama alama juu ya mkono wako, na uzifunge juu ya paji la uso wako.
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
9 Ziandike kwenye miimo ya milango ya nyumba yako na juu ya malango yako.
And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
10 Wakati Bwana Mungu wako atakapokuleta katika nchi aliyowaapia baba zako, Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo, kukupa wewe, nchi kubwa, ina miji inayopendeza ambayo hukuijenga,
And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not,
11 nyumba zilizojaa vitu vizuri vya aina nyingi ambavyo hukuvijaza, visima ambavyo hukuchimba, na mashamba ya mizabibu na mizeituni ambayo hukupanda wewe, basi, utakapokula na kushiba,
and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;
12 jihadhari usije ukamwacha Bwana, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa.
then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Utamcha Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake na kuapa kwa jina lake.
Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.
14 Usifuate miungu mingine, miungu ya mataifa yanayokuzunguka;
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
15 kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wako, ambaye yuko katikati yako, ni Mungu mwenye wivu na hasira yake itawaka dhidi yako, naye atakuangamiza kutoka uso wa nchi.
for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako kama ulivyofanya huko Masa.
Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 Utayashika maagizo ya Bwana Mungu wako kwa bidii, na masharti na amri alizokupa.
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
18 Fanya lililo haki na jema mbele za Bwana, ili upate kufanikiwa, uweze kuingia na kuimiliki nchi nzuri ambayo Bwana aliahidi kwa kiapo kwa baba zako,
And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,
19 kuwafukuza kwa nguvu adui zako mbele yako kama Bwana alivyosema.
to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 Siku zijazo, mtoto wako atakapokuuliza, “Ni nini maana ya masharti haya, amri na sheria hizi ambazo Bwana Mungu wako alikuagiza wewe?”
When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 Mwambie: “Tulikuwa watumwa wa Farao huko Misri, lakini Bwana alitutoa sisi kutoka Misri kwa mkono wenye nguvu.
then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 Bwana akapeleka mbele yetu ishara za miujiza na maajabu makubwa na ya kutisha mno juu ya Misri na Farao pamoja na nyumba yake yote.
and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;
23 Lakini Mungu akatutoa huko, akatuleta na kutupa nchi hii ambayo aliwaahidi baba zetu kwa kiapo.
and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24 Bwana akatuagiza tutii amri hizi zote na kumcha Bwana Mungu wetu, ili tupate kustawi na kuendelea kuwa hai kama ilivyo leo.
And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
25 Kama tukizitii kwa bidii amri hizi zote mbele za Bwana Mungu wetu, kama alivyotuamuru sisi, hiyo itakuwa haki yetu.”
And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
