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, said Yahweh unto me—Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, —and make thee an ark of wood;
2 Nitaandika kwenye mbao maneno ambayo yalikuwa kwenye mbao za kwanza ulizozivunja, na utaziweka ndani ya sanduku.
that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, —then shalt thou 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.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, —and went up the mountain, having 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 upon the tables according to the first writing—the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, —and Yahweh delivered them unto me.
5 Niligeuka na kushuka chini kutoka mlimani, na kuweka mbao ndani ya sanduku nililokuwa nimetengeneza; hapo zilikaa, kama Yahwe alivyoniamuru.”
Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, —and they have remained there, as Yahweh 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 sons of Israel, set forward out of Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, —there, died Aaron and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his stead.
7 Kutokea huko walisafiri kwenda Gudgodah, na kutoka Gudgodah kwenda Jotbathah, nchi yenye mikondo ya maji.
From thence, set they forward unto the Gudgodah, —and from the Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of 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, did Yahweh separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —to stand before Yahweh to wait upon him and to bless in his name (until 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)
For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.
10 “Nilibaki kwenye mlima kama ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza, siku arobaini na usiku arobaini. Yahwe alinisikiliza wakati huo pia; Yahwe hakutaka kukuangamiza.
But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, —and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing, to 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.'
So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee—to break away onward, before the people, —that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware 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.
Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, —but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh 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 Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, —for thy good?
14 Tazama, kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu mbingu ni zake na mbingu za mbingu, dunia, vyote vilivyomo.
Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, —the earth, with all that is therein.
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 unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, —therefore made he choice of their seed after them—of you—out of all the peoples, (as at this day).
16 Kwa hiyo basi wataili govi la mioyo yao, na msiwe wakaidi tena.
Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, —and your necks, must ye stiffen no more.
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 as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;
18 Hutekeleza haki kwa yatima na wajane, na huonesha upendo kwa mgeni kwa kumpa chakula na mavazi.
executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, —and loving a sojourner, giving him food and raiment.
19 Kwa hiyo basi mpende mgeni; kwa kuwa mlikuwa wageni kutoka nchi ya Misri.
Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, —for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.
20 Mtamche Yahwe Mungu wenu yeye mtamwabudu. Mtashikamana kwake, na kwa jina lake mtaapa.
Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, —And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in 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 song of praise, And, he, thy God, —who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.
22 Baba zako walienda Misri kama watu sabini; sasa Yahwe Mungu wako amekufanya wewe kuwa wengi kama nyota za mbinguni.
As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, —and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
