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,
'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
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 thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are 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.
'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Sikiliza, Israel: Yahwe Mungu wetu ni mmoja.
'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
5 Mtampenda Yahwe Mungu wenu kwa moyo wenu wote, kwa roho zenu zote, na kwa akili zenu zote.
and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
6 Maneno ninayowaamuru ninyi leo yatakuwa katika moyo wenu;
and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 na mtayafundisha kwa bidii kwa watoto wenu, mtayazungumza wakati mkaapo katika nyumba zenu, wakati mlalapo, na wakati mwinukapo.
and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8 Utazifunga kama ishara juu ya mkono wako, nayo yatakuwa utepe kati ya macho yako.
and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
9 Utaziandika kwenye miimo ya mlango ya nyumba yako na kwenye malango.
and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy 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,
'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
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 good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
12 basi iweni makini ili kwamba msije kumsahau Yahwe, aliyewaleta toka nchi ya Misri, toka nyumba ya utumwa.
'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
13 Mtamheshimu Yahwe Mungu wenu, yeye mtamwabudu, na mtaapa kwa jina lake.
Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
14 Hamtawaendea miungu mingine, miungu ya watu wanaowazunguka wote-
ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about 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 a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
16 Hamtamjaribu Yahwe Mungu wenu kama mlivyomjaribu huko Massah.
'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
17 Kwa bidii mtayashika maagizo ya Yahwe Mungu wenu, maagizo yake makini, na amri ambazo amewaamuru.
ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
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,
and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
19 kuwaondoa maadui zenu wote mbele zenu, kama Yahwe alivyosema.
to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 Wakati mwana wako auliza kwa wakati unaokuja, kusema,”Ni zipi amri za gano, sheria, na amri zingine ambazo Yahwe Mungu wetu alituamuru?
'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 Basi utasema kwa mwana wako, tulikuwa watumwa wa Farao huko Misri, Yahwe alitutoa Misri kwa mkono wa uweza,
then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
22 na alionesha ishara na maajabu, makuu na makali, Misri kwa Farao, na kwa nyumba yake yote, mbele ya macho yenu,
and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, 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 us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
24 Yahwe alituamuru daima kuzishika amri hizi, kumuogopa Yahwe Mungu wetu kwa uzuri wetu, ili kwamba atuweke hai, kama tulivyo leo.
And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
25 Kama tutashika maagizo haya yote mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wetu kama alivyotuamuru, hii itakuwa haki yetu.
and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
