Kutoka 34
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Chonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, nami nitaandika juu yake maneno yale yaliyokuwa kwenye vile vibao vya kwanza, ulivyovivunja.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Uwe tayari asubuhi, kisha upande juu ya Mlima Sinai. Uje mbele zangu kukutana nami huko juu ya mlima.
Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
3 Mtu yeyote asije pamoja nawe, wala asionekane mtu popote juu ya mlima, wala kondoo na mbuzi au ngʼombe wasilishe karibu mbele ya huo mlima.”
No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 Kwa hiyo Mose akachonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, naye akapanda juu ya Mlima Sinai asubuhi na mapema, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amemwagiza, akachukua vile vibao viwili vya mawe mikononi mwake.
So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
5 Kisha Bwana akashuka katika wingu akasimama pamoja naye huko, akalitangaza jina lake, Bwana.
And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
6 Bwana akapita mbele ya Mose, akitangaza, “Bwana, Bwana, Mungu mwenye huruma na neema, asiye mwepesi wa hasira, mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu,
Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
7 akidumisha upendo kwa maelfu, pia akisamehe uovu, uasi na dhambi. Lakini haachi kuadhibu mwenye hatia; huwaadhibu watoto na watoto wao kwa ajili ya dhambi ya baba zao hata katika kizazi cha tatu na cha nne.”
maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
8 Mara Mose akasujudu na kuabudu.
Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
9 Mose akasema, “Ee Bwana, kama nimepata kibali mbele zako, basi Bwana uende pamoja nasi. Ingawa watu hawa ni wenye shingo ngumu, samehe uovu wetu na dhambi yetu, tuchukue kuwa urithi wako.”
“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
10 Kisha Bwana akasema: “Tazama ninafanya Agano mbele ya watu wako wote. Mbele ya watu wako wote nitafanya maajabu ambayo hayajafanyika katika taifa lolote katika ulimwengu wote. Watu wale mnaoishi miongoni mwao wataona jinsi ilivyo ya kushangaza ile kazi nitakayowafanyia mimi Bwana wenu.
And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
11 Tii yale ninayokuamuru leo. Tazama nawafukuza mbele yako Waamori, Wakanaani, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi.
Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Uwe mwangalifu, usifanye agano na wale wanaokaa katika nchi ile unayoiendea, la sivyo watakuwa mtego katikati yako.
Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
13 Bomoa madhabahu yao, vunja mawe yao ya kuabudia na ukatekate nguzo zao za Ashera.
Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
14 Usiabudu mungu mwingine, kwa kuwa Bwana, ambaye jina lake ni Wivu, ni Mungu mwenye wivu.
For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Uwe mwangalifu usifanye agano na wale watu wanaoishi katika nchi, kwa maana wakati wanapojifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao na kuwatolea kafara, watakualika wewe nawe utakula sadaka za matambiko yao.
Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
16 Unapowachagua baadhi ya binti zao kuwa wake wa wana wenu na binti hao wakajifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao, watawaongoza wana wenu kufanya vivyo hivyo.
And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
17 “Usijifanyie sanamu za kusubu.
You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
18 “Utaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu. Kwa siku saba mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, kama nilivyokuamuru. Fanya hivi kwa wakati ulioamriwa, katika mwezi wa Abibu, ndio mwezi wa nne, kwa kuwa katika mwezi huo ndipo wewe ulipotoka Misri.
You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “Mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kila tumbo ni mali yangu, pamoja na wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa kiume wa mifugo yako, ikiwa ni wa ngʼombe au wa kondoo au mbuzi.
The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
20 Utakomboa mzaliwa wa kwanza wa punda kwa mwana-kondoo, lakini kama humkomboi, utavunja shingo yake. Utakomboa wazaliwa wako wa kwanza wote wa kiume. “Mtu yeyote asije mbele zangu mikono mitupu.
You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika, hata ikiwa ni majira ya kulima au ya kuvuna lazima upumzike.
Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
22 “Utaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Majuma kwa malimbuko ya mavuno ya ngano, na Sikukuu ya Mavuno mwishoni mwa mwaka.
And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
23 Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wako wote watakuja mbele za Bwana Mwenyezi, Mungu wa Israeli.
Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24 Nitawafukuza mataifa mbele yako na kupanua mipaka ya nchi yako, wala hakuna mtu yeyote atakayeitamani nchi yako wakati unapokwenda mara tatu kila mwaka kuonana na Bwana Mungu wako.
For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
25 “Usinitolee damu ya dhabihu pamoja na kitu chochote chenye chachu, wala usibakize dhabihu yoyote ya Sikukuu ya Pasaka mpaka asubuhi.
Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
26 “Leta matunda ya kwanza yaliyo bora zaidi ya ardhi yako katika nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wako. “Usimchemshe mwana-mbuzi katika maziwa ya mama yake.”
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Andika maneno haya, kwa maana kulingana na maneno haya, nimefanya Agano na wewe pamoja na Israeli.”
The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 Mose alikuwa huko pamoja na Bwana kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana bila kula chakula wala kunywa maji. Naye akaandika juu ya vibao maneno ya Agano, yaani zile Amri Kumi.
So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
29 Mose alipoteremka kutoka Mlima Sinai akiwa na vile vibao viwili vya Ushuhuda mikononi mwake, hakujua kuwa uso wake ulikuwa ukingʼaa, kwa sababu alikuwa amezungumza na Bwana.
And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
30 Aroni na Waisraeli wote walipomwona Mose, kuwa uso wake unangʼaa, waliogopa kumkaribia.
Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
31 Lakini Mose akawaita, kwa hiyo Aroni na viongozi wote wa jumuiya wakarudi, naye akazungumza nao.
But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
32 Baadaye Waisraeli wote wakamkaribia, naye akawapa amri zote Bwana alizompa katika Mlima wa Sinai.
And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
33 Mose alipomaliza kuzungumza nao, akaweka utaji kwenye uso wake.
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Lakini kila wakati Mose alipoingia mbele za Bwana kuzungumza naye, aliondoa ule utaji mpaka alipotoka nje. Naye alipotoka nje na kuwaambia Waisraeli lile ambalo ameagizwa,
But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
35 waliona kuwa uso wake unangʼaa. Kisha Mose angeliweka tena utaji juu ya uso wake mpaka alipokwenda kuzungumza na Bwana.
and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
