Torati 10
1 Kwa wakati ule Yahwe alisema kwangu, 'Chonga mbao mbili za mawe kama zile za kwanza, na njoo kwangu huku juu ya mlima, na utengeneze sanduku la mbao.
At that time the Lord said to me, Hew for yourself two stone tables as the first, and come up to me into the mountain, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
2 Nitaandika kwenye mbao maneno ambayo yalikuwa kwenye mbao za kwanza ulizozivunja, na utaziweka ndani ya sanduku.
And you shall write upon the tables the words which were on the first tables which you did break, and you shall put them into the ark.
3 Basi nilitengeneza sanduku la mbao za mikaratusi, na nikachonga mbao mbili za mawe kwa zile za kwanza, na nikaenda juu ya mlima, nikiwa na mbao mbili mkononi mwangu.
So I made an ark of boards of incorruptible wood, and I hewed tables of stone like the first, and I went up to the mountain, and the two tables were in my hand.
4 Aliandika kwenye mbao, kama maandishi ya kwanza, amri kumi ambazo Yahwe amesema nanyi kwenye mlima kutoka katikati mwa moto katika siku ya kusanyiko; ndipo Yahwe alilinipa mimi.
And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing the ten commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.
5 Niligeuka na kushuka chini kutoka mlimani, na kuweka mbao ndani ya sanduku nililokuwa nimetengeneza; hapo zilikaa, kama Yahwe alivyoniamuru.”
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tables into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.
6 (Watu wa Israeli walisafiri kutoka Beerothi ya Bene Jaakan kwenda Moserathi. Huko Aaroni alikufa, na huko alizikwa; Eleazar, mwana wake, alitumika katika ofisi ya ukuhani kwenye nafasi yake.
And the children of Israel departed from Beeroth of the sons of Jakim [to] Misadai: there Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son was priest in his stead.
7 Kutokea huko walisafiri kwenda Gudgodah, na kutoka Gudgodah kwenda Jotbathah, nchi yenye mikondo ya maji.
Thence they departed to Gadgad; and from Gadgad to Etebatha, a land [wherein are] torrents of water.
8 Kwa wakati huo Yahwe alichagua kabila la Lawi kubeba sanduku la agano la Yahwe, kusimama mbele ya Yahwe kumtumikia na kubariki watu kwa jina lake, kama ilivyo leo.
At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand near before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name to this day.
9 Kwa hiyo Lawi hawana sehemu wala urithi wa nchi pamoja na ndugu zake; Yahwe ni urithi wao, kama Yahwe Mungu wenu alizungumza naye)
Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] their inheritance, as he said to them.
10 “Nilibaki kwenye mlima kama ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza, siku arobaini na usiku arobaini. Yahwe alinisikiliza wakati huo pia; Yahwe hakutaka kukuangamiza.
And I remained in the mount forty days and forty nights: and the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.
11 Yahwe alisema nami, “Inuka, nenda mbele ya watu uwaongoze katika safari yao; wataingia na kumiliki nchi ambayo niliapa kwa mababu zao kuwapa.'
And the Lord said to me, Go, set out before this people, and let them go in and inherit the land, which I sware to their fathers to give to them.
12 Sasa, Israeli, Yahwe Mungu wenu ataka nini kwenu, isipokuwa hofu ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, kutembea katika njia zake zote, kumpenda yeye, na kumwabudu Yahwe Mungu wenu kwa moyo wenu wote na roho yenu yote.
And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
13 Kuzishika amri za Yahwe, na maagizo ambayo ninawaamuru ninyi leo kwa ajili ya uzuri wenu?
to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his ordinances, all that I charge you today, that it may be well with you?
14 Tazama, kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu mbingu ni zake na mbingu za mbingu, dunia, vyote vilivyomo.
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all things that are in it.
15 Yahwe peke alichukua furaha kwa baba zenu ili kwamba awapende, na aliwachagua ninyi, wazao wao, baada yao, zaidi kuliko ya watu wengine wowote, kama afanyavyo leo.
Only the Lord chose your fathers to love them, and he chose out their seed after them, [even] you, beyond all nations, as at this day.
16 Kwa hiyo basi wataili govi la mioyo yao, na msiwe wakaidi tena.
Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not harden your neck.
17 Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu, ni Mungu wa miungu na Bwana wa bwana, Mungu mkuu, mwenye nguvu na wakutisha, ambaye hapendelei yeyote na hapokei rushwa-
For the Lord your God, he [is] God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, and strong, and terrible God, who does not accept persons, nor will he by any means accept a bribe:
18 Hutekeleza haki kwa yatima na wajane, na huonesha upendo kwa mgeni kwa kumpa chakula na mavazi.
executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and he loves the stranger to give him food and raiment.
19 Kwa hiyo basi mpende mgeni; kwa kuwa mlikuwa wageni kutoka nchi ya Misri.
And you shall love the stranger; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Mtamche Yahwe Mungu wenu yeye mtamwabudu. Mtashikamana kwake, na kwa jina lake mtaapa.
You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve him, and shall cleave to him, and shall swear by his name.
21 Yeye ni sifa yenu, ni Mungu wenu, ambaye amefanya kwa ajili yenu haya mambo makuu na kutisha, ambayo macho yenu yameyaona.
He [is] your boast, and he [is] your God, who has wrought in the midst of you these great and glorious things, which your eyes have seen.
22 Baba zako walienda Misri kama watu sabini; sasa Yahwe Mungu wako amekufanya wewe kuwa wengi kama nyota za mbinguni.
With seventy souls your fathers went down into Egypt; but the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
