Torati 6
1 Sasa haya ni maagizo, amri, na sheria ambazo Yahwe Mungu wetu ameniamuru mimi kuwafundisha ninyi, ili kwamba muweze kuzishika katika nchi ambayo mnaenda ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani kumiliki,
Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;
2 ili kwamba mpate kumheshimu Yahwe wenu, ili muzishike amri zake zote na maagizo ninayowaamuru-ninyi, wana wenu na wana wa wana wenu, siku zenu zote za maisha, ili kwamba siku zenu ziongezeke.
so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.
3 Kwa hiyo wasikilizeni, Israeli, na kuzishika ili kwamba iweze kuwa vizuri kwenu, ili kusudi muweze kuzidi mno kwenye nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe Mungu wa Baba zenu, amewaahidi atafanya.
Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.
4 Sikiliza, Israel: Yahwe Mungu wetu ni mmoja.
Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.
5 Mtampenda Yahwe Mungu wenu kwa moyo wenu wote, kwa roho zenu zote, na kwa akili zenu zote.
You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Maneno ninayowaamuru ninyi leo yatakuwa katika moyo wenu;
The words that I am commanding you today will be in your heart;
7 na mtayafundisha kwa bidii kwa watoto wenu, mtayazungumza wakati mkaapo katika nyumba zenu, wakati mlalapo, na wakati mwinukapo.
and you will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
8 Utazifunga kama ishara juu ya mkono wako, nayo yatakuwa utepe kati ya macho yako.
You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.
9 Utaziandika kwenye miimo ya mlango ya nyumba yako na kwenye malango.
You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10 Wakati Yahwe Mungu wako akuleta kwenye nchi ambayo aliaapa kwa baba zako, Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo, kwamba angekupa, pamoja na miji mikubwa na mizuri ambayo hamkuijenga,
When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,
11 na nyumba zilizojaa kila aina ya vitu vizuri ambavyo hamkuzifanya, visima ambavyo hamkuvichimba, mashamba na miti ya mizeituni ambayo hamkuipanda, mtakula na kutosheka-
and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—
12 basi iweni makini ili kwamba msije kumsahau Yahwe, aliyewaleta toka nchi ya Misri, toka nyumba ya utumwa.
then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Mtamheshimu Yahwe Mungu wenu, yeye mtamwabudu, na mtaapa kwa jina lake.
You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.
14 Hamtawaendea miungu mingine, miungu ya watu wanaowazunguka wote-
You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you—
15 kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu katikati yenu ni Mungu wa wivu- kama mtafanya, hasira ya Yahwe Mungu wenu atawasha dhidi yenu na atawaangamiza kutoka kwenye uso wa dunia.
for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.
16 Hamtamjaribu Yahwe Mungu wenu kama mlivyomjaribu huko Massah.
You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.
17 Kwa bidii mtayashika maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, maagizo yake makini, na amri ambazo amewaamuru.
You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that he has commanded you.
18 Mtafanya kile kilicho sahihi na kizuri katika macho ya Yahwe, kwamba iwe vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuingia na kumiliki nchi nzuri ambayo Yahwe aliaapa kwa baba zenu,
You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,
19 kuwaondoa maadui zenu wote mbele zenu, kama Yahwe alivyosema.
to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.
20 Wakati mwana wako auliza kwa wakati unaokuja, kusema,”Ni zipi amri za gano, sheria, na amri zingine ambazo Yahwe Mungu wetu alituamuru?
When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'
21 Basi utasema kwa mwana wako, tulikuwa watumwa wa Farao huko Misri, Yahwe alitutoa Misri kwa mkono wa uweza,
then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
22 na alionesha ishara na maajabu, makuu na makali, Misri kwa Farao, na kwa nyumba yake yote, mbele ya macho yenu,
and he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 na alitutoa kutoka huko, ili kwamba atulete ndani, kutupa nchi ambayo aliaapa kwa baba zetu.
and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.
24 Yahwe alituamuru daima kuzishika amri hizi, kumuogopa Yahwe Mungu wetu kwa uzuri wetu, ili kwamba atuweke hai, kama tulivyo leo.
Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.
25 Kama tutashika maagizo haya yote mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wetu kama alivyotuamuru, hii itakuwa haki yetu.
If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
