Kutoka 34
1 Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Kata mbao mbili za mawe kama zile za awali. Nitaandika kwenye hizi mbao za mawe maneno yaliyo kuwa kwenye mbao za mawe za mwanzo, mbao za mawe ulizo zivunja.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Kuwa tayari asubui na uje Mlima Sinai, na uje mbele zangu juu ya mlima.
Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
3 Hakuna atakaye kuja nawe. Usiruhusu mtu yeyote aonekana popote kwenye mlima. Hakuna kundi la mifugo wanao ruhusiwa ata kula mbele ya mlima.”
No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 Hivyo Musa akakata mbao mbili za mawe kama za mwanzo, na akaamka asubui mapema na kwenda juu ya Mlima Sinai, kama Yahweh alivyo muelekeza. Musa alibeba mbao za mawe mikononi mwake.
So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
5 Yahweh akaja chini katika wingu na akasima mbele za Musa, na akatamka jina “Yahweh.”
And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
6 Yahweh akapita kwake na kukiri, “Yahweh, Yahweh, Mungu ni wa rehema na wa neema, sio mwepesi wa hasira, na anadumu katika uwaminifu wa agano na uadilifu,
Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
7 ukishika uaminifu wa agano kwa vizazi maelfu, ukisamehe maasi, makosa, na dhambi. Lakini hamsafishi mwenye hatia. Ataleta adhabu ya dhambi za baba kwa watoto wao na watoto wa watoto wao, kwa kizazi cha tatu na hadi cha nne.”
maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
8 Musa haraka akainamisha kichwa chake kwenye ardhi na kuabudu.
Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
9 Kisha akasema, “Kama sasa nimepata upendeleo machoni pako, Bwana wangu, tafadhali nenda pamoja nasi, kwa kuwa hawa watu ni wa korofi. Samehe maasi yetu na dhambi zetu, na utuchukuwe kama urithi wako.”
“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
10 Yahweh akasema, “Ona, ninakaribu kufanya agano. Mbele za watu wako, nitafanya maajabu ambayo hayajawai kufanywa duniani kote wala kwenye taifa lote. Watu wote miongoni mwako wataona matendo yangu, kwa kuwa ni kitu cha hofu ninacho fanya kwako.
And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
11 Tii amri zangu leo. Ninawaondoa mbele yako Waamori, Wakanani, Wahivi, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi.
Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Kuwa mwanglifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi unayo kwenda, au wata kuwa mtego kwako.
Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
13 Badala yake, lazima uvunje madhabahu zao, ponda nguzo zao za mawe, na kukata nguzo zao za Ashera.
Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
14 Kwa kuwa wewe haupaswi kumuabudu mungu mwingine, maana Yahweh, ambaye jina lake ni Uwivu, ni Mungu wa uwivu.
For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 Hivyo kuwa mwangalifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi, kwa kuwa wanajifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na wanatoa dhabihu kwa miungu yao. Kisha mmoja wao ata kukaribisha na wewe utakula baadhi ya dhabihu zake,
Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
16 na kisha utachukuwa baadhi ya mabinti zake kwa wanao, na mabinti wake watafanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na watafanya wanao kufanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao.
And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
17 Usifanye Miungu ya chuma ya kuyayusha.
You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
18 Laziam ushike Sherehe ya Mkate Usiotiwachachu. Kama nilivyo kuamuru, lazima ule mkate usio na hamira kwa siku saba kwa muda uliotengwa wa mwezi wa Abibu, maana nikatika mwezi wa Abibu ulitoka Misri.
You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 Wazaliwa wote ni mwangu, ata mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa mifugo, yote ya ng'ombe na kondoo.
The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
20 Lazima umnunue tena mzaliwa kwanza wa punda kwa kondoo, lakini usipo mnunua tena, kisha uivunje shingo yake. Lazima ununue tena wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa wanao. Hakuna ata mmoja atakye kuja kwangu mikono mitupu.
You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 Utafanya kazi kwa siku sita, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika. Ata wakati wakilimo na wa mavuno, lazima upumzike.
Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
22 Lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Majuma kwa mazao ya kwanza ya mavuno ya ngano, na lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Makusanyo mwisho wa mwaka.
And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
23 Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wenu wote watajitokeza kwa Bwana Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24 Kwa kuwa nitaondoa mataifa mbele yenu na kutanua mipika. Hakuna atakaye tamani kuwa na ardhi yenu kama yao utakapo toka mbele za Yahweh mara tatu kwa mwaka.
For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
25 Hautatoa damu ya dhabihu yangu na hamira yeyote, wala nyama yeyote kutoka dhabihu za Sherehe ya Pasaka kubaki hadi asubui.
Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
26 Lazima ulete matunda ya kwanza yalio bora kutoka nyumbani kwako. Usimchemshe mbuzi mtoto katika maziwa ya mama yake.”
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Andika chini haya maneno, kwa kuwa nimejiahidi haya maneno niliyo yasema, na nimefanya agano kwako na Israeli.”
The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 Musa alikuwa huko na Yahweh kwa siku arobaini na usiku; hakula chakula chochote wala kunywa maji yeyote. Aliandika katika mbao maneno ya agano, Amri kumi.
So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
29 Musa alipo shuka chini ya Mlima Sinai na mbao mbili za agano za ushuhuda mikononi mwake, hakujua kuwa ngozi ya kuwa uso wake ulikuwa wa'ngaa akizungumza na Mungu.
And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
30 Wakati Aruni na Waisraeli walipo muona Musa, ngozi ya uso wake ulikuwa wa ng'aa, na waliogopa kuja karibu yake.
Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
31 Lakini Musa aliwaita, na Aruni na viongozi wa jamii wakaja kwake. Kisha Musa akasema nao.
But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
32 Baada ya haya, watu wote wa Israeli wakaja kwa Musa, na akawambia amri zote Yahweh alizo mpa katika Mlima Sinai.
And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
33 Musa alipo maliza kuzungumza nao, alifunika uso wake kwa kitambaa.
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Wakati Musa alipoenda mbele za Yahweh kusema naye, aliondoa kitambaa, hadi alipo toka. Alipo toka, aliwaambia Waisraeli alicho amriwa kusema.
But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
35 Waisraeli walipo muona Musa ana'ngaa uso, alirudisha kitambaa tena usoni mpaka alipokuwa anaenda kuongea na Yahweh.
and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
