Hesabu 10
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Tengeneza tarumbeta mbili za fedha ya kufua, uzitumie kwa kuita jumuiya pamoja na wakati wa kuvunja makambi ili kuondoka.
Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.
3 Tarumbeta zote mbili zikipigwa, jumuiya yote itakusanyika mbele yako katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.
4 Kama tarumbeta moja tu ikipigwa, viongozi, yaani wakuu wa koo za Israeli, ndio watakaokusanyika mbele yako.
If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.
5 Wakati mlio wa kujulisha hatari ukipigwa, makabila yaliyo na makambi upande wa mashariki yataondoka.
When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.
6 Ukisikika mlio wa pili wa jinsi hiyo, walioko kwenye makambi ya kusini wataondoka. Mlio huo wa kujulisha hatari utakuwa ishara ya kuondoka.
At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.
7 Ili kukusanya kusanyiko, piga tarumbeta zote, lakini siyo kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari.
But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.
8 “Wana wa Aroni, makuhani, ndio watakaopiga hizo tarumbeta. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu na kwa vizazi vijavyo.
The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.
9 Wakati mtakapopigana vita katika nchi yenu wenyewe dhidi ya adui anayewaonea, piga tarumbeta kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari. Ndipo utakumbukwa na Bwana Mungu wenu na kuokolewa kutoka kwa adui zenu.
And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.
10 Pia nyakati za furaha yenu, yaani sikukuu zenu zilizoamriwa na sikukuu za Mwezi Mwandamo, mtapiga tarumbeta juu ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na sadaka zenu za amani, nazo zitakuwa ukumbusho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.”
And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.
11 Katika siku ya ishirini ya mwezi wa pili wa mwaka wa pili, wingu liliinuka kutoka juu ya maskani ya Ushuhuda.
Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.
12 Ndipo Waisraeli wakaondoka kutoka Jangwa la Sinai wakasafiri kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine mpaka wingu lilipotua katika Jangwa la Parani.
And the children of Israel went on their journey out of the waste land of Sinai; and the cloud came to rest in the waste land of Paran.
13 Waliondoka kwa mara ya kwanza kwa agizo la Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.
14 Vikosi vya kambi ya Yuda vilitangulia kwanza chini ya alama yao. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu alikuwa kiongozi wao.
First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.
15 Nethaneli mwana wa Suari alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Isakari,
And at the head of the army of the children of Issachar was Nethanel, the son of Zuar.
16 naye Eliabu mwana wa Heloni alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Zabuloni.
And at the head of the army of the children of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 Ndipo Maskani iliposhushwa, nao wana wa Gershoni na wana wa Merari ambao waliibeba wakaondoka.
Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.
18 Vikosi vya kambi ya Reubeni vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri alikuwa kiongozi wao.
Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.
19 Shelumieli mwana wa Surishadai aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Simeoni,
And at the head of the army of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.
20 naye Eliasafu mwana wa Deueli aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Gadi.
At the head of the army of the children of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Reuel.
21 Kisha Wakohathi wakaondoka, wakichukua vitu vitakatifu. Maskani ilikuwa isimamishwe kabla wao hawajafika.
Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.
22 Vikosi vya kambi ya Efraimu vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi alikuwa kiongozi wao.
Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.
23 Gamalieli mwana wa Pedasuri aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Manase,
At the head of the army of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
24 naye Abidani mwana wa Gideoni alikuwa kiongozi wa kikosi cha kabila la Benyamini.
At the head of the army of the children of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.
25 Mwishowe, kama kikosi cha nyuma cha ulinzi wa vikosi vyote, vikosi vya kambi ya Dani viliondoka chini ya alama yao. Ahiezeri mwana wa Amishadai alikuwa kiongozi wao.
And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 Pagieli mwana wa Okrani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Asheri,
At the head of the army of the children of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ochran.
27 naye Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Naftali.
And at the head of the army of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.
28 Huu ndio ulikuwa utaratibu wa kuondoka wa vikosi vya Waisraeli walipokuwa wanaondoka.
This was the order in which the children of Israel were journeying by armies; so they went forward.
29 Basi Mose akamwambia Hobabu mwana wa Reueli, Mmidiani, mkwewe Mose, “Tunaondoka kwenda mahali ambapo Bwana amesema ‘Nitawapa ninyi mahali hapo.’ Twende pamoja nasi tutakutendea mema, kwa maana Bwana ameahidi mambo mema kwa Israeli.”
Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.
30 Akajibu, “Hapana, sitakwenda; nitarudi kwenye nchi yangu mwenyewe na watu wangu mwenyewe.”
But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.
31 Lakini Mose akasema, “Tafadhali usituache. Wewe unajua mahali ambapo yatupasa kupiga kambi jangwani, nawe unaweza kuwa macho yetu.
And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.
32 Ikiwa utafuatana nasi, tutashirikiana nawe mema yoyote tutakayopewa na Bwana.”
And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.
33 Hivyo waliondoka kutoka mlima wa Bwana, nao wakasafiri kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la Agano la Bwana liliwatangulia kwa zile siku tatu ili kuwatafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;
34 Wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu yao wakati wa mchana walipoondoka kambini.
And by day the cloud of the Lord went over them, when they went forward from the place where they had put up their tents.
35 Wakati wowote Sanduku lilipoondoka, Mose alisema, “Ee Bwana, inuka! Watesi wako na watawanyike; adui zako na wakimbie mbele zako.”
And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.
36 Wakati wowote Sanduku liliposimama, alisema, “Ee Bwana, rudi, kwa maelfu ya Waisraeli wasiohesabika.”
And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.
