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 have come on you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, and when you call them to mind among all the other nations where Yahweh your God has driven 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 return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice, following all that I am commanding you today— you and your children—with all your heart and with all your soul,
3 kisha Yahwe Mungu wako atageuza kutekwa kwako na kukuhurumia; atawarudisha na kuwakusanya kutoka kwa watu wote ambapo Yahwe Mungu wako aliwatawanya.
then Yahweh your God will reverse your captivity and have compassion on you; he will return and gather you from all the peoples where Yahweh 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.
If any of your exiled people are in the farthest places under the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you.
5 Yahwe Mungu wako atawaleta katika nchi ambayo mababu zenu walimiliki, nanyi mtaimiliki tena; atawatendea mema na kuwazidisha zaidi ya alivyofanya kwa mababu zenu.
Yahweh your God will bring you into the land that your forefathers possessed, and you will possess it again; he will do you good and will multiply you more than he did your forefathers.
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.
Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so you will love Yahweh your God 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.
Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, those who persecuted you.
8 Utarudi na kutii sauti ya Yahwe, nawe utatenda amri zake zote ambazo ninakuamuru leo.
You will return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding 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.
Yahweh your God will make you abundant in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for prosperity; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for prosperity, as he rejoiced over 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.
He will do this if you will obey the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and regulations that are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and all your soul.
11 Kwa maana amri hii nayokuamuru leo sio ngumu sana, wala haipo nje ya uwezo wako kufikia.
For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, neither is it too far for you to 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, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go up for us to heaven and bring it down to us and make us able to hear it, so that we may do 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?”.
Neither is it beyond the sea, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us and make us to hear it, so that we may do it?'
14 Lakini neno lipo karibu sana kwako, katika kinywa chako na moyo wako, ili uweze kutekeleza.
But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and your heart, so that you may do it.
15 Tazama, leo nimeweka mbele yako uzima na wema, mauti na uovu.
See, today I have placed before you life and good, death and evil.
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.
If you obey the decrees of Yahweh your God, in which I am commanding you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, you will live and multiply, and Yahweh your God will 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 instead are drawn away and 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.
then I announce to you today that you will surely perish; you will not prolong your days in the land that you are passing over the Jordan to go into and 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 to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life so that you may live, you and your descendants.
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.
Do this so as to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him. For he is your life and the length of your days; do this so that you may live in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
