Mambo ya Walawi 26

1 “‘Msijitengenezee sanamu au kusimamisha kinyago cha kuchonga, au mnara, wala jiwe la kuabudia, na pia msijiwekee jiwe lililochongwa katika nchi yenu na kusujudu mbele yake. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.

All of you shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall all of you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

2 “‘Zishikeni Sabato zangu na kuheshimu mahali patakatifu pangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.

All of you shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

3 “‘Ikiwa mtafuata amri zangu na kuwa waangalifu kutii maagizo yangu,

If all of you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4 nitawanyeshea mvua katika majira yake, nayo ardhi itatoa mazao yake, na miti ya mashambani itazaa matunda yake.

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Kupura nafaka kwenu kutaendelea mpaka wakati wa kuvuna zabibu. Pia kuvuna zabibu kutaendelea mpaka wakati wa kupanda mbegu, nanyi mtakula na kushiba, na mtaishi salama katika nchi yenu.

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and all of you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 “‘Nitawapa amani katika nchi, mpate kulala pasipo kutiwa hofu na yeyote. Nitawaondoa wanyama wakali watoke kwenye nchi, nao upanga hautapita katika nchi yenu.

And I will give peace in the land, and all of you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 Mtawafukuza adui zenu, nanyi mtawaua kwa upanga mbele yenu.

And all of you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Watu wenu watano watafukuza adui mia, watu wenu mia watafukuza adui elfu kumi, nao adui zenu wataanguka kwa upanga mbele yenu.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 “‘Nitawaangalia kwa upendeleo na kuwafanya mzae na kuzidisha idadi yenu, nami nitalishika Agano langu na ninyi.

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 Wakati wa kuvuna mtakuwa bado mnakula mavuno ya mwaka uliopita, na itawalazimu kuyaondoa ghalani ili mpate nafasi ya mavuno mapya.

And all of you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

11 Nitafanya makao yangu miongoni mwenu, nami sitawachukia.

And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not detest you.

12 Nitatembea katikati yenu niwe Mungu wenu, nanyi mtakuwa watu wangu.

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and all of you shall be my people.

13 Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri ili msiendelee kuwa watumwa wa Wamisri, nikavunja kongwa lenu, na kuwawezesha kutembea mkiwa mmeinua vichwa vyenu juu.

I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that all of you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 “‘Lakini kama hamtanisikiliza na kutimiza maagizo haya yote,

But if all of you will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 nanyi kama mtazikataa amri zangu na kuzichukia sheria zangu, tena mkishindwa kutimiza amri zangu na hivyo mkavunja agano langu,

And if all of you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul detest my judgments, so that all of you will not do all my commandments, but that all of you break my covenant:

16 ndipo nitakapowafanyia hili: Nitawaletea juu yenu hofu ya ghafula, magonjwa ya kufisha, na homa itakayopofusha macho yenu na kuwaondolea uhai wenu. Mtapanda mbegu bila mafanikio, kwa sababu adui zenu wataila.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and all of you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 Nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi yenu ili mshindwe na adui zenu; wale wanaowachukia watawatawala, nanyi mtakimbia ingawa hakuna mtu anayewafukuza.

And I will set my face against you, and all of you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and all of you shall flee when none pursues you.

18 “‘Kama baada ya haya yote hamtanisikiliza, nitawaadhibu mara saba zaidi kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.

And if all of you will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 Nitakivunja kiburi chenu cha ukaidi na kuifanya anga iliyo juu yenu iwe kama chuma, na ardhi yenu kama shaba.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 Nguvu zenu zitatumika bila ya mafanikio, kwa sababu ardhi yenu haitawazalia mazao yake, wala miti ya nchi yenu haitazaa matunda yake.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 “‘Kama mtaendelea kuwa na uadui nami, na kukataa kunisikiliza, nitawazidishia mateso yenu mara saba zaidi, kama dhambi zenu zinavyostahili.

And if all of you walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 Nitawatuma wanyama mwitu dhidi yenu, nao watawaibieni watoto wenu, watawaangamiza ngʼombe wenu, na kuifanya idadi yenu kuwa ndogo, hivi kwamba barabara zenu zitakuwa hazina watu.

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

23 “‘Ikiwa pamoja na mambo haya hamtakubali maonyo yangu lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,

And if all of you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

24 mimi mwenyewe nitaweka uadui nanyi, na kuwatesa kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu mara saba zaidi.

Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 Nitawaletea upanga juu yenu ili kuwapatiliza kwa kuvunja Agano langu. Mtakapokimbilia mijini mwenu, nitatuma tauni katikati yenu, nanyi mtatiwa mikononi mwa adui zenu.

And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when all of you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and all of you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 Nitakapowaondolea upatikanaji wa mkate wenu, wanawake kumi wataoka mkate wenu katika tanuru moja, nao wataugawa mkate kidogo kwa kupima. Mtakula, lakini hamtashiba.

And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and all of you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 “‘Kama hata baada ya haya bado hamtanisikiliza lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,

And if all of you will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

28 ndipo katika hasira yangu nitaweka uadui nanyi, nami mwenyewe nitawaadhibu mara saba kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Mtakula nyama ya wana wenu na nyama ya binti zenu.

And all of you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall all of you eat.

30 Nitapaharibu mahali penu pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, nibomoe madhabahu zenu za kufukizia uvumba, na kuzilundika maiti zenu juu ya sanamu zenu zisizo na uhai, nami nitawachukia ninyi sana.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall detest you.

31 Nitaifanya miji yenu kuwa magofu, na kuharibu mahali patakatifu penu pa kuabudia, nami sitapendezwa na harufu nzuri ya sadaka zenu.

And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

32 Nitaiharibu nchi, ili adui zenu watakaokuja kuishi humo washangae.

And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33 Nitawatawanya ninyi miongoni mwa mataifa, na kuufuta upanga wangu na kuwafuatia. Nchi yenu itaharibiwa, nayo miji yenu itakuwa magofu.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

34 Ndipo nchi itafurahia Sabato zake muda wote ule itakapokuwa ukiwa, nanyi mkiwa katika nchi ya adui zenu. Ndipo nchi itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake.

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and all of you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35 Wakati wote nchi itakapobaki ukiwa, itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake ambazo haikuzipata mlipokuwa mnaishi humo.

As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when all of you dwelt upon it.

36 “‘Kwa habari ya wenzenu wale watakaobaki, nitaifanya mioyo yao kuwa na hofu kuu katika nchi za adui zao, kiasi kwamba sauti ya jani linalopeperushwa na upepo itawafanya wakimbie. Watakimbia kana kwamba wanakimbia upanga, nao wataanguka, ingawa hakuna anayewafukuza.

And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.

37 Watajikwaa mmoja juu ya mwingine kama wakimbiao upanga, hata ingawa hakuna anayewafuatia. Hivyo hamtaweza kusimama mbele ya adui zenu.

And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and all of you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Mtaangamia katikati ya mataifa; nchi ya adui zenu itawala.

And all of you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 Wale wenu watakaobaki wataangamia katika nchi za adui zao kwa sababu ya dhambi zao; pia kwa sababu ya dhambi za baba zao wataangamia.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 “‘Lakini kama watatubu dhambi zao na dhambi za baba zao, udanganyifu wao dhidi yangu na uadui wao kwangu,

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

41 ambao ulinifanya niwe na uadui nao hata nikawapeleka katika nchi ya adui zao, wakati mioyo yao isiyotahiriwa itanyenyekea na kutubu dhambi yao,

And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

42 nami nitakumbuka agano langu na Yakobo, na agano langu na Isaki, na agano langu na Abrahamu, nami nitaikumbuka nchi.

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

43 Kwa kuwa wataiacha nchi ukiwa, nayo itafurahia Sabato zake wakati itakuwa ukiwa bila wao. Wataadhibiwa kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, kwa sababu walizikataa sheria zangu na kuzichukia amri zangu.

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Lakini pamoja na hili, wakati watakuwa katika nchi ya adui zao, sitawakataa wala kuwachukia kiasi cha kuwaharibu kabisa na kuvunja agano langu nao. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wao.

And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I detest them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

45 Lakini kwa ajili yao nitalikumbuka agano langu na baba zao, ambao niliwatoa Misri mbele ya mataifa ili niwe Mungu wao. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

46 Hizi ndizo amri, sheria na pia masharti ambazo Bwana alifanya kati yake mwenyewe na Waisraeli katika Mlima Sinai kupitia kwa Mose.

These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
