Torati 30
1 Vitu hivi vitakavyokuja juu yako, baraka na laana nilizoziweka mbele yako, na utakapozirejea akilini miongoni mwa mataifa mengine ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako kawapeleka,
“When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,
2 na utakapomrudia Yahwe Mungu wako na kutii sauti yake, na kufuata yote ambayo nayokuamuru leo – wewe na watoto wako – kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote,
and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,
3 kisha Yahwe Mungu wako atageuza kutekwa kwako na kukuhurumia; atawarudisha na kuwakusanya kutoka kwa watu wote ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako aliwatawanya.
then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 Iwapo yeyote ya watu walio uhamishoni wapo katika sehemu za mbali sana chini ya mbingu, kutoka huko Yawhe Mungu wako atawakusanya, na kutoka huko atawarejesha.
Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.
5 Yahwe Mungu wako atawaleta katika nchi ambayo mababu zenu walimiliki, nanyi mtaimiliki tena; atawatendea mema na kuwazidisha zaidi ya alivyofanya kwa mababu zenu.
And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.
6 Yahwe Mungu wako atatahiri moyo wako na moyo wa uzao wako, ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote, ili kwamba uweze kuishi.
The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
7 Yahwe Mungu wako ataweka laana hizi zote kwa maadui zako na kwa wote wakuchukiayo, wale waliokutesa.
Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.
8 Utarudi na kutii sauti ya Yahwe, nawe utatenda amri zake zote ambazo ninakuamuru leo.
And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.
9 Yahwe Mungu wako atakufanikisha katika kazi yote ya mkono wako, katika matunda ya mwili wako, katika matunda ya mifugo yako, na katika matunda ya nchi yako, kwa mafanikio; kwa maana Yahwe atafurahia tena mafanikio yako, kama alivyofurahia kwa baba zako.
So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,
10 Atafanya hivi iwapo utatii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ili kuzishika amri zake na kanuni zake zilizoandikwa katika kitabu hiki cha sheria, iwapo utamgeukia Yahwe Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa nafsi yako yote.
if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 Kwa maana amri hii nayokuamuru leo sio ngumu sana, wala haipo nje ya uwezo wako kufikia.
For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
12 Haipo mbinguni, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atayekwenda kwa ajili yetu mbinguni na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kutekeleza?”
It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’
13 Wala haipo ng’ambo ya bahari, ili usije ukasema, “Nani atakwenda ng’ambo ya pili ya bahari kwa ajili yetu na kutuletea kwetu na kutufanya tuisikie, ili tuweze kuifanya?”.
And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’
14 Lakini neno lipo karibu sana kwako, katika kinywa chako na moyo wako, ili uweze kutekeleza.
But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
15 Tazama, leo nimeweka mbele yako uzima na wema, mauti na uovu.
See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster.
16 Iwapo utatii maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wako, ambayo ninakuamuru leo kumpenda Yahwe Mungu wako, kutembea katika njia zake, na kushikilia amri zake, kanuni zake, na sheria zake, utaishi na kuongezeka, na Yahwe Mungu wako atakubariki katika nchi ambayo unaingia kumiliki.
For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.
17 Lakini moyo wako ukigeuka, na usisikilize na badala yake unavutwa na kusujudia miungu mingine na kuwaabudu,
But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,
18 basi leo nakutangazia kwako ya kwamba hakika utaangamia; siku zako hazitaongezeka katika nchi unayoipita juu ya Yordani kuingia na kumiliki.
I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
19 Naziita mbingu na nchi kushuhudia dhidi yako ya kuwa nimeweka mbele yako uzima na mauti, baraka na laana; kwa hiyo chagua uzima ili kwamba uweze kuishi, wewe na uzao wako.
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live,
20 Fanya hivi ili umpende Yahwe Mungu wako, kutii sauti yake, na kung’ang’ania kwake. Kwa maana yeye ni uzima wako na urefu wa siku zako; fanya hivi ili kwamba uweze kuishi katika nchi ambayo Yahwe aliapa kwa mababu zako, kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isaka, na kwa Yakobo, kuwapatia.
and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
