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 hath Jehovah said unto me, Grave for thee two tables of stone, like the first, and come up unto Me, into the mount, and thou hast made for thee an ark of wood,
2 Nitaandika kwenye mbao maneno ambayo yalikuwa kwenye mbao za kwanza ulizozivunja, na utaziweka ndani ya sanduku.
and I write on the tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou hast broken, and thou hast placed 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 make an ark of shittim wood, and grave two tables of stone like the first, and go up to the mount, and 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 writeth on the tables, according to the first writing, the Ten Matters, which Jehovah hath spoken unto you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and Jehovah giveth 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 turn and come down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, and they are there, as Jehovah 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 have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera, there Aaron died, and he is buried there, and Eleazar his son doth act as priest in his stead;
7 Kutokea huko walisafiri kwenda Gudgodah, na kutoka Gudgodah kwenda Jotbathah, nchi yenye mikondo ya maji.
thence they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks 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 hath Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah, to serve 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 there hath not been to Levi a portion and inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as Jehovah 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 — I have stood in the mount, as the former days, forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto me also at that time; Jehovah hath not willed 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.'
'And Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn 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 is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah 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 commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?
14 Tazama, kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu mbingu ni zake na mbingu za mbingu, dunia, vyote vilivyomo.
'Lo, to Jehovah thy God [are] the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that [is] 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 in thy fathers hath Jehovah delighted — to love them, and He doth fix on their seed after them — on you, out of all the peoples as [at] this day;
16 Kwa hiyo basi wataili govi la mioyo yao, na msiwe wakaidi tena.
and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and your neck ye do not harden any 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 Jehovah your God — He [is] God of the gods, and Lord of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful; who accepteth not persons, nor taketh a bribe;
18 Hutekeleza haki kwa yatima na wajane, na huonesha upendo kwa mgeni kwa kumpa chakula na mavazi.
He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.
19 Kwa hiyo basi mpende mgeni; kwa kuwa mlikuwa wageni kutoka nchi ya Misri.
'And ye have loved the sojourner, for sojourners ye were in the land of Egypt.
20 Mtamche Yahwe Mungu wenu yeye mtamwabudu. Mtashikamana kwake, na kwa jina lake mtaapa.
'Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost 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 with thee these great and fearful [things] which thine 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 to Egypt, and now hath Jehovah thy God made thee as stars of the heavens for multitude.
