Torati 7
1 Bwana Mungu wako akuletapo katika nchi unayoingia kuimiliki, na awafukuzapo mbele yako mataifa mengi, yaani Wahiti, Wagirgashi, Waamori, Wakanaani, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi, mataifa saba makubwa tena yenye nguvu kuliko wewe,
If he will bring you Yahweh God your into the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it and he will clear away nations many - from before you the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] seven nations great and mighty more than you.
2 pia Bwana Mungu wako atakapowatia mkononi mwako na ukawashinda, basi ni lazima uwaangamize wote kabisa. Usifanye agano nao, wala usiwahurumie.
And he will deliver up them Yahweh God your before you and you will strike down them certainly you will totally destroy them not you will make to them a covenant and not you will show favor to them.
3 Usioane nao. Usimtoe binti yako kuolewa na mwanawe, au kumchukua binti yake aolewe na mwanao.
And not you will intermarry with them daughter your not you will give to son his and daughter his not you will take for son your.
4 Kwa maana watamgeuza mwanao aache kunifuata, ili aitumikia miungu mingine, nayo hasira ya Bwana itawaka dhidi yako, naye atakuangamiza ghafula.
For he will turn aside son your from after me and they will serve gods other and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and he will destroy you quickly.
5 Hili ndilo utakalowafanyia: Vunja madhabahu yao, vunja mawe yao ya kuabudia, katakata nguzo zao za Ashera na kuchoma sanamu zao kwa moto.
That except thus you will do to them altars their you will break down and sacred pillars their you will shatter and Asherah poles their you will cut down! and images their you will burn! with fire.
6 Kwa kuwa wewe ni taifa takatifu kwa Bwana Mungu wako. Bwana Mungu wako amekuchagua wewe kutoka mataifa yote juu ya uso wa dunia kuwa watu wake, hazina yake ya thamani.
For [are] a people holy you to Yahweh God your you he has chosen - Yahweh God your to become for him a people of possession from all the peoples which [are] on [the] surface of the ground.
7 Bwana hakuweka upendo wake juu yenu na kuwachagua kwa sababu mlikuwa wengi mno kuliko watu wengine, kwa maana ninyi ndio mliokuwa wachache sana kuliko mataifa yote.
Not because were numerous you more than all the peoples he loved Yahweh you and he chose you for you [were] the few from all the peoples.
8 Lakini ni kwa sababu Bwana aliwapenda ninyi na kutunza kiapo alichowaapia babu zenu kwamba atawatoa ninyi kwa mkono wenye nguvu na kuwakomboa kutoka nchi ya utumwa, kutoka nguvu za Farao mfalme wa Misri.
For from [the] love of Yahweh you (and because kept he *L(abh)*) the oath which he swore to ancestors your he brought out Yahweh you by a hand strong and he redeemed you from a house of slaves from [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt.
9 Basi ujue kwamba Bwana Mungu wako ndiye Mungu; ni Mungu mwaminifu, anayetunza Agano la upendo kwa maelfu ya vizazi vya wale wanaompenda na kuzishika amri zake.
And you will know that Yahweh God your he [is] God the God faithful [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep (commandments his *Q(K)*) to a thousand generation[s].
10 Lakini kwa wale wanaomchukia atawalipiza kwenye nyuso zao kwa maangamizi; hatachelewa kuwalipiza kwenye nyuso zao wale wamchukiao.
And [who] repays to [those who] hate him to face his by destroying him not he delays to [the] [one who] hates him to face his he repays to him.
11 Kwa hiyo, kuweni waangalifu kufuata maagizo, amri na sheria ninazowapa leo.
And you will keep the commandment and the statutes and the judgments which I [am] commanding you this day to observe them.
12 Kama mkizingatia sheria hizi na kuzifuata kwa uangalifu, basi Bwana Mungu wenu atatunza Agano lake la upendo nanyi, kama alivyowaapia baba zenu.
And it will be - consequence you will hear! the judgments these and you will take care and you will observe them and he will keep Yahweh God your to you the covenant and covenant loyalty which he swore to ancestors your.
13 Atawapenda ninyi na kuwabariki na kuongeza idadi yenu. Atabariki uzao wa tumbo lenu, mazao ya nchi yenu, nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, ndama za ngʼombe wa makundi yenu, na kondoo za makundi yenu katika nchi ile aliyoapa kuwapa baba zenu.
And he will love you and he will bless you and he will increase you and he will bless [the] fruit of womb your and [the] fruit of ground your grain your and new wine your and fresh oil your [the] young of cattle your and [the] young ones of flock your on the land which he swore to ancestors your to give to you.
14 Mtabarikiwa kuliko mataifa mengine yote, hakuna wanaume wala wanawake kwenu watakaokosa watoto, wala mifugo yenu haitakuwa tasa.
Blessed you will be more than all the peoples not he will be among you a sterile [male] and a barren [female] and among livestock your.
15 Bwana atawakinga na kila ugonjwa. Mungu hatatia juu yenu ugonjwa wowote mbaya mlioufahamu huko Misri, lakini atatia ugonjwa juu ya wale wote wanaokuchukia.
And he will remove Yahweh from you every sickness and all [the] diseases of Egypt harmful which you experienced not he will put them on you and he will set them on all [those who] hate you.
16 Ni lazima mwangamize watu wote ambao Bwana Mungu wenu atawatia mikononi mwenu. Msiwatazame kwa kuwahurumia na msiitumikie miungu yao, kwa kuwa itakuwa mtego kwenu.
And you will consume all the peoples which Yahweh God your [is] about to deliver up to you not it will look with pity eye your on them and not you will serve gods their for [will be] a snare it to you.
17 Mnaweza kujiuliza wenyewe “Mataifa haya ni yenye nguvu kuliko sisi. Tutawezaje kuwafukuza?”
For you will say in heart your [are] great the nations these more than I how? will I be able to dispossess them.
18 Lakini msiwaogope. Kumbukeni vyema jinsi Bwana Mungu wenu alivyofanya kwa Farao na kwa wote huko Misri.
Not you must be afraid from them carefully you will remember [that] which he did Yahweh God your to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
19 Mliona kwa macho yenu wenyewe majaribu makubwa, ishara za miujiza na maajabu, mkono wenye nguvu na ulionyooshwa, ambao kwa huo Bwana Mungu wenu aliwatoa mtoke Misri. Bwana Mungu wenu atawafanyia hivyo watu wote ambao mnawaogopa sasa.
The trials great which they saw eyes your and the signs and the wonders and the hand mighty and the arm outstretched which he brought out you Yahweh God your thus he will do Yahweh God your to all the peoples which you [are] afraid of them.
20 Zaidi ya hayo, Bwana Mungu wenu atatuma manyigu miongoni mwao hadi yale mabaki watakaojificha waangamie.
And also the hornet he will send Yahweh God your among them until perish [those] who remain and [those] who hide themselves from before you.
21 Msiingiwe na hofu kwa sababu yao, kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wenu, ambaye yupo miongoni mwenu ni mkuu naye ni Mungu wa kutisha.
Not you must be terrified of them for Yahweh God your [is] in midst your a God great and awesome.
22 Bwana Mungu wenu atawafukuza mataifa hayo mbele yenu kidogo kidogo. Hamtaruhusiwa kuwaondoa wote kwa mara moja, la sivyo wanyama mwitu wataongezeka na kuwa karibu nanyi.
And he will clear away Yahweh God your the nations these from before you little little not you will be able to make an end of them quickly lest it should increase with you [the] animal[s] of the field.
23 Lakini Bwana Mungu wenu atawatia watu hao mikononi mwenu, akiwatia katika kuchanganyikiwa kukubwa mpaka wawe wameangamizwa.
And he will deliver up them Yahweh God your before you and he will confuse them confusion great until are destroyed they.
24 Atawatia wafalme wao mikononi mwenu, nanyi mtayafuta majina yao chini ya mbingu. Hakuna hata mmoja atakayeweza kusimama dhidi yenu bali mtawaangamiza.
And he will give kings their in hand your and you will destroy name their from under the heavens not he will stand anyone in face your until destroying you them.
25 Vinyago vya miungu yao mtavichoma moto. Msitamani fedha wala dhahabu iliyo juu yao, wala msizichukue kwa ajili yenu, la sivyo mtakuwa mmetekwa navyo. Kwa kuwa ni chukizo kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
[the] images of Gods their you will burn! with fire not you will covet silver and gold on them and you will take [it] for yourself lest you should be ensnared by it for [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your that.
26 Msilete vitu vya machukizo katika nyumba zenu kwani ninyi, mtatengwa kama vitu hivyo kwa maangamizo. Ukichukie kabisa kitu hicho kwa kuwa kimetengwa kwa maangamizo.
And not you will bring an abomination into house your and you will be an object for destruction like it utterly - you will detest it and utterly - you will abhor it for [is] an object for destruction it.
