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.
“You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.
2 “‘Zishikeni Sabato zangu na kuheshimu mahali patakatifu pangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
3 “‘Ikiwa mtafuata amri zangu na kuwa waangalifu kutii maagizo yangu,
If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
4 nitawanyeshea mvua katika majira yake, nayo ardhi itatoa mazao yake, na miti ya mashambani itazaa matunda yake.
then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its 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 the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
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 have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.
7 Mtawafukuza adui zenu, nanyi mtawaua kwa upanga mbele yenu.
And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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 have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
9 “‘Nitawaangalia kwa upendeleo na kuwafanya mzae na kuzidisha idadi yenu, nami nitalishika Agano langu na ninyi.
And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established 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 you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
11 Nitafanya makao yangu miongoni mwenu, nami sitawachukia.
And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
12 Nitatembea katikati yenu niwe Mungu wenu, nanyi mtakuwa watu wangu.
and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.
14 “‘Lakini kama hamtanisikiliza na kutimiza maagizo haya yote,
And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
15 nanyi kama mtazikataa amri zangu na kuzichukia sheria zangu, tena mkishindwa kutimiza amri zangu na hivyo mkavunja agano langu,
and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking 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 do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;
17 Nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi yenu ili mshindwe na adui zenu; wale wanaowachukia watawatawala, nanyi mtakimbia ingawa hakuna mtu anayewafukuza.
and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.
18 “‘Kama baada ya haya yote hamtanisikiliza, nitawaadhibu mara saba zaidi kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.
And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold 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 have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
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 has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.
21 “‘Kama mtaendelea kuwa na uadui nami, na kukataa kunisikiliza, nitawazidishia mateso yenu mara saba zaidi, kama dhambi zenu zinavyostahili.
And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, 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.
and sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
23 “‘Ikiwa pamoja na mambo haya hamtakubali maonyo yangu lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,
And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
24 mimi mwenyewe nitaweka uadui nanyi, na kuwatesa kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu mara saba zaidi.
then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold 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 have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an enemy.
26 Nitakapowaondolea upatikanaji wa mkate wenu, wanawake kumi wataoka mkate wenu katika tanuru moja, nao wataugawa mkate kidogo kwa kupima. Mtakula, lakini hamtashiba.
In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.
27 “‘Kama hata baada ya haya bado hamtanisikiliza lakini mkaendelea kuweka uadui nami,
And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
28 ndipo katika hasira yangu nitaweka uadui nanyi, nami mwenyewe nitawaadhibu mara saba kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu.
then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
29 Mtakula nyama ya wana wenu na nyama ya binti zenu.
And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
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 have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;
31 Nitaifanya miji yenu kuwa magofu, na kuharibu mahali patakatifu penu pa kuabudia, nami sitapendezwa na harufu nzuri ya sadaka zenu.
and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
32 Nitaiharibu nchi, ili adui zenu watakaokuja kuishi humo washangae.
and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been 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 scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.
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 the land enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;
35 Wakati wote nchi itakapobaki ukiwa, itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake ambazo haikuzipata mlipokuwa mnaishi humo.
it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on 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 those who are left of you—I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
37 Watajikwaa mmoja juu ya mwingine kama wakimbiao upanga, hata ingawa hakuna anayewafuatia. Hivyo hamtaweza kusimama mbele ya adui zenu.
And they have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,
38 Mtaangamia katikati ya mataifa; nchi ya adui zenu itawala.
and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
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 those who are left of you—they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they consume away with them.
40 “‘Lakini kama watatubu dhambi zao na dhambi za baba zao, udanganyifu wao dhidi yangu na uadui wao kwangu,
And [if] they have confessed their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also that they have walked with Me in opposition,
41 ambao ulinifanya niwe na uadui nao hata nikawapeleka katika nchi ya adui zao, wakati mioyo yao isiyotahiriwa itanyenyekea na kutubu dhambi yao,
when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept 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 I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and I 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.
And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed 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 also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] their God YHWH—
45 Lakini kwa ajili yao nitalikumbuka agano langu na baba zao, ambao niliwatoa Misri mbele ya mataifa ili niwe Mungu wao. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] YHWH.”
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 the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
