1 Haya ni maneno ambayo Musa aliyasema kwa Israeli wote ng'ambo ya jangwa la Yordani, katika tambarare ya mto wa Yordani juu ya Suph, katikati mwa Paran, Topheli, Laban, Hazeroth, na Di Zahab.
These [are] the words which he spoke Moses to all Israel on [the] other side of the Jordan in the wilderness in the desert plain opposite to Suph between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Di Zahab.
2 Ni safari ya siku kumi na moja toka Horabu kupitia njia ya mlima wa Seir kwenda Kadeshi Barnea.
[is] one [plus] Ten day[s] from Horeb [the] way of [the] mountain of Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
3 Ilitokea kwenye mwaka wa nne, mwezi wa kumi na moja, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, Musa alizungumza kwa watu wa Israeli, kuambia yote yale Yahwe aliyomwamuru kuhusu wao.
And it was in forty year in [the] one [plus] ten month on [day] one of the month he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel according to all that he had commanded Yahweh him to them.
4 Hii ilikuwa baada ya Yahwe kumvamia Sihoni mfalme wa Amoria, ambaye aliishi huko Heshboni, na Ogi mfalme wa Bashani, ambaye aliishi huko Ashtarothi ya Edrei.
After had defeated he Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon and Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 Ng'ambo ya Yordani, katika nchi ya Moabu, Musa alianza kutangaza maelekezo haya, akisema,
On [the] other side of the Jordan in [the] land of Moab he undertook Moses he made clear the law this saying.
6 “Yahwe Mungu wetu alisema nasi huko Horebu, akisema, umeishi vya kutosha katika milima ya nchi hii.
Yahweh God our he spoke to us at Horeb saying [is] enough for you remaining at the mountain this.
7 Geuka na uanze safari yako, na uende kwenye nchi ya milima ya Amorites, na kwenye maeneo yote karibu na tambarare ya mto Yordani, katika nchi ya milima, na nyanda za chini, huko Negev, na pwani - nchi ya Wakanani na huko Lebanoni mbali ya mto mkuu wa Euphratesi.
Turn - and set out for yourselves and go [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] and to all neighbors its in the desert plain in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in the Negev and on [the] coast of the sea [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and Lebanon to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.
8 Tazama, nimetenga nchi kwa ajili yako, nenda ndani na umiliki nchi ambayo Yahwe aliapa kwa baba zako, Ibrahimu, Isaka na Yakobo, kuwapa na uzao wao baada yao.
See I set before you the land go and take possession of the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to them and to offspring their after them.
9 Nilisema nawe kwa wakati huo, nikisema, siwezi nikakubeba peke yangu,
And I said to you at the time that saying not I am able to alone me to bear you.
10 Yahwe Mungu wako amekuzidisha, na tazama, leo umekuwa umati wa nyota angani.
Yahweh God your he has increased you and here you this day [are] like [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.
11 Yahwe aweza, Mungu wa baba zako, kukufanya wewe mara elfu moja zaidi ya ulivyo, na kukubariki, kama alivyokuahidi!
Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your may he add to you like you a thousand times and may he bless you just as he spoke to you.
12 Lakini inawezekanaje mimi peke yangu kubeba shehena zako, mizigo yako, na migogoro yako?
How? will I bear to alone me burden your and burden your and dispute[s] your.
13 Chukua wanaume wa hekima, wanaume waelewa, na wanaume walio na sifa nzuri toka kila kabila, nitawafaya kuwa vichwa juu yenu.
Provide for yourselves men wise and understanding and known to tribes your so I may appoint them chiefs your.
14 Mlinijibu na kusema, 'Jambo ulilolisema ni zuri kwetu kufanya.'
And you answered me and you said [is] good the word which you have spoken to do.
15 Kwa hiyo nilichukua vichwa vya makabila yenu, wanaume wa hekima, na wanaume wenye sifa nzuri, na nikawafanya kuwa vichwa juu yenu, jemedari kwa elfu, jemedari kwa hamsini, jemedari kwa kumi, na maakida, kabila kwa kabila.
And I took [the] chiefs of tribes your men wise and known and I appointed them chiefs over you leaders of thousands and leaders of hundreds and leaders of fifties and leaders of tens and officials of tribes your.
16 Niliwaamuru waamuzi wenu kwa wakati huo, kusema, 'Zikiliza mabishano kati ya ndugu zenu, na muhukumu ya haki kati ya ndugu na ndugu zake, na mgeni aliye pamoja naye.
And I commanded judges your at the time that saying hear between countrymen your and you will judge righteousness between anyone and between countryman his and between sojourner his.
17 Hamtaonesha upendeleo kwa yeyote katika mgogoro, mtasikia madogo na makubwa pia. Hamtaogopa uso wa mtu, kwa kuwa hukumu ni ya Mungu. Migogoro iliyo migumu kwenu, mtaniletea mimi, na mimi nitaisikiliza.
Not you will pay regard to faces in judgment as the small as the great you will listen! not you will be afraid of anyone for the judgment [belongs] to God it and the matter which it will be [too] hard for you you will bring near! to me and I will hear it.
18 Niliwaamuru kwa wakati huo mambo yote mtakayofanya.
And I commanded you at the time that all the things which you will do!
19 Tulisafiri toka Horebu na kwenda kupitia jangwa lile kubwa lote na lenye kutisha lile mliloliona, katika njia yetu kuelekea nchi ya milima huko Amorites, kama Yahwe Mungu wetu alivyotuamuru sisi, na tukaja Kadeshi ya Barnea.
And we set out from Horeb and we walked all the wilderness great and awesome that which you saw [the] way of [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] just as he had commanded Yahweh God our us and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 Niliwambia, mmekuja kwenye nchi ya milima ya Amorites, ambayo Yahwe Mungu wetu anatupa sisi.
And I said to you you have come to [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.
21 Tazama, Yahwe Mungu wenu amekwisha weka nchi mbele yenu; nenda juu, muimiliki, kama Yahwe, Mungu wa baba zenu, amekwisha zungumza nanyi, msiogope wala kukata tamaa.
See he sets Yahweh God your before you the land go up take possession of [it] just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you may not you be afraid and may not you be dismayed.
22 Kila moja wenu alikuja kwangu na kusema, 'Basi tutume watu mbele yetu, ili kwamba waweze kupepeleza nchi kwa ajili yetu, na kutuletea sisi neno kuhusiana na njia ya wapi tuvamie, na kuhusiana na miji tutakayoingia.
And you drew near! to me all of you and you said let us send out men before us so they may spy out for us the land so they may bring back us word the way which we will go up on it and the cities which we will go to them.
23 Shauri hilo lilinibariki mimi, 'Nilichukua watu kumi na mbili kutoka kwenu, mtu moja kwa kila kabila.
And it was good in view my the thing and I took from you two [plus] ten men a man one to the tribe.
24 Waligeuka na kwenda juu ya nchi ya milima, kufika kwenye bonde la Eshcol na kufanya upepelezi wa kina.
And they turned and they went up the hill country towards and they came to [the] wadi of Eshcol and they spied out it.
25 Walichukua baadhi ya mazao ya ardhi mikononi mwao na kuleta kwetu, Pia walileta neno na kusema, 'Ni nchi nzuri ambayo Yahweh Mungu wetu anatupa sisi'
And they took in hand their some of [the] fruit of the land and they brought [it] down to us and they brought back us word and they said [is] good the land which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.
26 Bado mlikataa kushambulia, lakini mliasi dhidi ya amri ya Yahwe Mungu wenu.
And not you were willing to go up and you rebelled toward [the] mouth of Yahweh God your.
27 Mlilalamika katika mahema yenu na kusema, “Ni kwa sababu Yahwe alituchukia sisi kwa kuwa ametutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kuteweka katika mikono ya Amorites kutuangamiza.
And you murmured in tents your and you said in [the] hatred of Yahweh us he brought out us from [the] land of Egypt to give us in [the] hand of the Amorite[s] to destroy us.
28 Tuende wapi sasa? Ndugu zetu wamefanya mioyo yetu kuyeyuka, kusema, Hao watu ni wakubwa na warefu zaidi yetu, miji yao ni mikubwa na imeimarishwa kwenda mbinguni; zaidi ya yote, tumewaona wana wa Anakim huko”
Where? - [are] we going up countrymen our they have made melt heart our saying [the] people [is] great and lofty more than us [the] cities [are] large and fortified in the heavens and also [the] descendants of [the] Anakites we saw there.
29 Kisha nikasema nao, msitishwe wala msiwaogope.
And I said to you not you must be terrified! and not you must be afraid! from them.
30 Yahwe Mungu wenu, ambaye aenda mbele yenu, atawapigania, kama yote aliyofanya kwa ajili yenu huko Misri mbele ya macho yenu,
Yahweh God your [is] the [one who] goes before you he he will fight for you according to all that he did with you in Egypt to eyes your.
31 na pia katika jangwa, ambapo mmekwisha muona Yahwe Mungu wenu jinsi alivyowabeba, kama mtu abebavyo mtoto wake, kokote mlikoenda mpaka kufika hapa.'
And in the wilderness where you saw that he carried you Yahweh God your just as he carries anyone child his on all the journey which you walked until came you to the place this.
32 Bado licha ya neno hili hakumwamini Yahwe Mungu wenu,
And in the thing this not you [were] trusting in Yahweh God your.
33 aliyeenda mbele yenu kwenye njia kutafuta eneo kwa ajili yenu kuweka kambi, katika moto kwa usiku, katika mawingu kwa mchana.
Who went before you on the journey to seek out for you a place to camp you in the fire - night to show you the way which you will go on it and in the cloud by day.
34 Yahwe alisikia sauti ya maneno yenu na alikasirika; aliapa na kusema,
And he heard Yahweh [the] sound of words your and he was angry and he swore an oath saying.
35 Hakika hakuna mmoja ya hawa watu wa kizazi hiki kiovu wataona nchi nzuri ambayo niliapa kuwapa babu zao,
If he will see anyone among the men these the generation evil this the land good which I swore to give to ancestors your.
36 kasoro Kalebu mwana wa Jephuneeh; yeye ataiona. Yeye nitampa nchi ambayo amekwisha kuikanyanga, na watoto wake, kwa sababu alimfuata Yahwe kwa ukamilifu.'
Except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh he he will see it and to him I will give the land which he has trodden on it and to sons his because that he filled after Yahweh.
37 Pia Yahweh alinikasirikia mimi kwa sababu yenu, kusema, 'Wewe pia hautaingia huko,
Also with me he was angry Yahweh on account of you saying also you not you will go there.
38 Yoshua mwana wa Nuh, ambaye amesimama mbele yako, yeye ataingia, mtie moyo, kwani yeye atawaongoza Israeli kuimiliki.
Joshua ([the] son of *L(abh)*) Nun who stands before you he he will go there towards him encourage for he he will give as an inheritance it Israel.
39 Zaidi ya yote, watoto wenu wadogo, ambao mlisema watakuwa waathirika, ambao leo hawana elimu ya uzuri au ubaya-wataenda ndani huko. Wao nitawapa nchi hiyo, na wataimiliki.
And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and children your who not they know this day good and evil they they will go there towards and to them I will give it and they they will take possession of it.
40 Lakini ninyi, geuka na muuanza safari kwenda jangwani kwa kuambaa njia ya bahari ya mianzi'.
And you turn yourselves and set out the wilderness towards [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].
41 Kisha mlinijibu na kusema kwangu, 'Tumetenda dhambi dhidi ya Yahwe, tutaenda juu na kupigana, tutafuata yote ambayo Yahwe Mungu wetu ametuamuru sisi kufanya'. Kila mtu miongoni mwenu aliweka silaha za vita, na mlikuwa tayari kuvamia nchi ya milima.
And you answered - and you said to me we have sinned to Yahweh we we will go up and we will fight according to all that he has commanded us Yahweh God our and you girded on everyone [the] weapons of war his and you regarded as easy to go up the hill country towards.
42 Yahwe alisema nami, 'Waambie, msivamie na kupigana, kwa kuwa sitakuwa pamoja nanyi, na mtashindwa na adui zenu'.
And he said Yahweh to me say to them not you must go up and not you must fight for not I [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.
43 Nilizungumza nanyi kwa njia hii, lakini hamkunisikiliza, Mliasi dhidi ya amri ya Yahwe, mlikuwa wenye kiburi na mlivamia nchi ya milima.
And I spoke to you and not you listened and you rebelled against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you acted presumptuously and you went up the hill country towards.
44 Lakini Amorites, ambayo waliishi katika nchi hiyo ya milima, walitoka dhidi yenu na kuwafukuza kama nyuki, na kuwapiga chini huko Seir, mbali kama Hormah.
And he came out the Amorite[s] who was dwelling in the hill country that to meet you and they pursued you just as they do bees and they scattered you in Seir to Hormah.
45 Mlirudi na kulia mbele ya Yahwe; lakini Yahwe hakusikiliza sauti zenu, wala hakuwa makini kwenu.
And you returned and you wept before Yahweh and not he listened Yahweh to voice your and not he gave ear to you.
46 Kwa hiyo mlibaki Kadeshi siku nyingi, siku zote mlibaki huko.
And you remained at Kadesh days many like the days which you remained.
