Torati 5
1 Musa aliwaita Israeli yote na akasema nao, “Sikiliza, Israeli, kwa amri na sheria ambazo nitasema katika masikio yenu leo, muweze kujifunza na kuzishika.
And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances that I speak in your ears this day, and learn them, and keep them to do them.
2 Yahwe Mungu wetu alifanya agano nasi huko Horeb.
Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Yahwe hakufanya agano hili pamoja na mababu zetu, lakini na sisi, sisi wote tu hai hapa leo.
Not with our fathers did Jehovah make this covenant, but with us, [even] us, those [who are] here alive all of us this day.
4 Yahwe alizungumza nawe uso kwa uso kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto
Face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire Jehovah spoke with you
5 (Nilisimama kati ya Yahwe na wewe kwa wakati huo, kukufunulia wewe neno lake, kwa kuwa ulikuwa umeogopa kwa sababu ya moto, na haukwenda juu ya mlima), Yahwe alisema,
(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up to the mountain), saying,
6 'Mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nyumba ya utumwa.
I am Jehovah thy God who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Hautakuwa na miungu mingine mbele yangu.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
8 Hautajifanyia mwenyewe sanamu ya kuchonga wala mfano wa kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni, au kilicho chini ya dunia, au kilicho chini ya maji.
Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:
9 Hautavisujudia au kuvitumikia, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahwe Mungu wako, ni Mungu wa wivu, Nawaadhibu uovu wa mababu kwa kuleta adhabu juu ya watoto, kwa kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wale wanichukiao,
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth [generation] of them that hate me,
10 na kuonesha agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu, kwa wale wanaonipenda na kushika amri zangu.
and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Hautalichukua jina la Yahwe Mungu wako bure, kwa kuwa Yahwe hatamshikilia kuwa ana hatia yeye alichukuae jina bure.
Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.
12 Zingantia siku ya Sabato kwa kuiweka takatifu, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru.
Keep the sabbath day to hallow it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na fanya kazi zako zote,
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
14 lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato kwa Yahwe Mungu wako. Kwa siku hiyo hautafanya kazi yoyote- si wewe, wala mwana wako, wala binti yako, wala mjakazi wako wa kiume, wala maksai wako, wala punda wako, wala mifugo wako, wala mgeni yeyote aliye katika malango yako. Hii ni kwamba mjakazi wako wa kiume na mjakazi wako wa kike wapate kumpuzika pamoja na wewe.
but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner that is within thy gates; that thy bondman and thy handmaid may rest as well as thou.
15 Utakumbuka katika akili yako kwamba ulikuo mtumwa katika nchi ya Misri, na Yahwe Mungu wako alikutoa kutoka huko kwa mkono wa uweza na mkono ulionyoshwa. Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wako amekuamuru kuitunza siku ya Sabato.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence with a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to observe the sabbath day.
16 Mheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru kufanya, ili kwamba uweze kuishi muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako akupa, ili kwamba iende kwa uzuri kwako.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
17 Hautaua,
Thou shalt not kill.
18 hautazini,
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 hautaiba,
Neither shalt thou steal.
20 hautashuhudia uongo dhidi ya ndugu yako.
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Hautamtamani mke wa jirani yako, hautatamani nyumba ya jirani yako, shamba lake, au mjakazi wake wa kiume, au mjakazi wake wa kike, maksai au punda wako, au chochote ambacho ni mali ya jirani yako.
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
22 Haya maneno Yahwe alisema kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lako lote kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto, mawingu, giza zito, hakuongeza maneno yoyote zaidi. Na aliandika chini kwenye mbao mbili za mawe na akanipa mimi.
These words Jehovah spoke to all your congregation on the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the obscurity, with a great voice, and he added no more; and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
23 Ilipokaribia, pindi uliposikia sauti toka katikati mwa giza, wakati mlima unawaka moto, kuwa mlikuja karibu nami, wazee wako wote, na wakuu wa makibila yako.
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and the mountain burned with fire, that ye came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 Ulisema, Tazama, Yahwe Mungu wetu ametuonesha utukufu wake na ukuu wake, na tumeisikia sauti yake toka katikati mwa moto, tumeona leo kwamba wakati Mungu azungumza na watu, wanaweza kuishi.
and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shewn us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God talks with man, and he lives.
25 Lakini kwanini tufe? Kwa kuwa mto huu mkuu utatutoshereza sisi; kama tutasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu tena, tutakufa.
And now, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, we shall die.
26 Kwa kuwa badala yetu kuna miongoni mwetu wa mwili ambao wamesikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza toka katikati mwa moto na kuishi, kama tulivyofanya?
For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we, and has lived?
27 Kwenu ninyi, mnapaswa kwenda na kusikiliza kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema; rudia kwetu kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema kwenu; tutamsikiliza na kumtii.'
Come thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God will say; and speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God will speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 Yahweh alisikia maneno yenu pindi mlipozungumza nami. Alisema na mimi, “Nimekwisha sikia maneno ya watu hawa, kile wanasema kwako. Kile walichosema kilikuwa kizuri.
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people that have spoken to thee: they have well spoken all that they have spoken.
29 Oh, kulikuwa na moyo wa namba hiyo ndani yao, kwamba wataniheshimu na daima kushika amri zangu zote, ili iweze kuwa vizuri kwao na pamoja na watoto wao milele!
Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments continually, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever!
30 Nenda useme nao, “Rudini kwenye mahema.”
Go, say unto them, Get you into your tents again.
31 Lakini kwenu, simama karibu nami, na nitakuambia amri zote, sheria, na maagizo ambayo mtawafundisha, ili kwamba waweze kuyashika katika nchi ambayo nitawapa kumiliki.'
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Utashika, kwa hiyo, kile Yahwe Mungu wenu amewaamuru; hamtageukia mkono wa kulia au kushoto.
Take heed then to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: turn not aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 Mtatembea katika njia zote ambazo Yahwe Mungu wenu, amewaamuru ili kusudi muweze kuishi, na ili kwamba iweze kwenda vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuongeza siku zenu katika nchi ambayo mtaimiliki.
In all the way that Jehovah your God hath commanded you shall ye walk, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
