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,
'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither 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.
so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are 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.
'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the 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 hast loved 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 am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 Wafundishe watoto wako kwa bidii. Nena kuhusu amri hizi uketipo nyumbani na wakati utembeapo njiani, ulalapo na uamkapo.
and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8 Zifunge kama alama juu ya mkono wako, na uzifunge juu ya paji la uso wako.
and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
9 Ziandike kwenye miimo ya milango ya nyumba yako na juu ya malango yako.
and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on 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 hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
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 hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
12 jihadhari usije ukamwacha Bwana, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa.
'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
13 Utamcha Bwana Mungu wako, na umtumikie yeye peke yake na kuapa kwa jina lake.
Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
14 Usifuate miungu mingine, miungu ya mataifa yanayokuzunguka;
ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [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 a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
16 Usimjaribu Bwana Mungu wako kama ulivyofanya huko Masa.
'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
17 Utayashika maagizo ya Bwana Mungu wako kwa bidii, na masharti na amri alizokupa.
ye do diligently keep the commands 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 hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
19 kuwafukuza kwa nguvu adui zako mbele yako kama Bwana alivyosema.
to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, 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 hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, 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 hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high 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 giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 Lakini Mungu akatutoa huko, akatuleta na kutupa nchi hii ambayo aliwaahidi baba zetu kwa kiapo.
and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to 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 commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep 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 righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
