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 unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount; and make thyself an ark of wood.
2 Nitaandika kwenye mbao maneno ambayo yalikuwa kwenye mbao za kwanza ulizozivunja, na utaziweka ndani ya sanduku.
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou hast broken; and thou shalt put them in 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.
And I made an ark of shittim-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and I went up into the mount, with the two tables 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 on the tables, like the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord had spoken unto you on the mount out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them unto me.
5 Niligeuka na kushuka chini kutoka mlimani, na kuweka mbao ndani ya sanduku nililokuwa nimetengeneza; hapo zilikaa, kama Yahwe alivyoniamuru.”
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and I put the tables in the ark which I had made; and they have remained there, as the Lord hath 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 took their journey from the wells of the children of Ya'akan to Mosserah: there Aaron died, and he was buried there; and Elazar his son became priest in his stead.
7 Kutokea huko walisafiri kwenda Gudgodah, na kutoka Gudgodah kwenda Jotbathah, nchi yenye mikondo ya maji.
From there they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Yotbatha, a land of brooks of waters.
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 did the Lord separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto 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 was not assigned unto Levi any portion or inheritance with his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord thy God hath spoken to him.
10 “Nilibaki kwenye mlima kama ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza, siku arobaini na usiku arobaini. Yahwe alinisikiliza wakati huo pia; Yahwe hakutaka kukuangamiza.
And I stayed on the mount, like the first days, forty days and forty nights; and the Lord hearkened unto me also at that time, the Lord would not destroy thee.
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 unto me, Arise, go on the journey before the people, that they may go in and take possession of the land, which I have sworn unto their fathers to give unto 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 doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13 Kuzishika amri za Yahwe, na maagizo ambayo ninawaamuru ninyi leo kwa ajili ya uzuri wenu?
To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy own good?
14 Tazama, kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu mbingu ni zake na mbingu za mbingu, dunia, vyote vilivyomo.
Behold, to the Lord thy God belong the heavens and the heavens of heavens, and the earth with all that is thereon;
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.
Yet only in thy fathers had the Lord delight, to love them; he chose, therefore, their seed after them, namely you, from all the nations, as it is this day.
16 Kwa hiyo basi wataili govi la mioyo yao, na msiwe wakaidi tena.
Remove therefore the obduracy of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
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 is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who hath no regard to persons, and taketh no bribe;
18 Hutekeleza haki kwa yatima na wajane, na huonesha upendo kwa mgeni kwa kumpa chakula na mavazi.
Who executeth justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and raiment.
19 Kwa hiyo basi mpende mgeni; kwa kuwa mlikuwa wageni kutoka nchi ya Misri.
Love ye then the stranger; for you have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Mtamche Yahwe Mungu wenu yeye mtamwabudu. Mtashikamana kwake, na kwa jina lake mtaapa.
The Lord thy God shalt thou fear: him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.
21 Yeye ni sifa yenu, ni Mungu wenu, ambaye amefanya kwa ajili yenu haya mambo makuu na kutisha, ambayo macho yenu yameyaona.
He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who hath done for thee these great and fearful things, which thy own 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 persons did thy fathers go down into Egypt; and now the Lord thy God hath made thee like the stars of heaven in multitude.
