< 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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and I have written on the tables the words which were on the first tables which thou hast broken;
2 Kuwa tayari asubui na uje Mlima Sinai, na uje mbele zangu juu ya mlima.
and be prepared at morning, and thou hast come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and hast stood before Me there, on the top of the mount,
3 Hakuna atakaye kuja nawe. Usiruhusu mtu yeyote aonekana popote kwenye mlima. Hakuna kundi la mifugo wanao ruhusiwa ata kula mbele ya mlima.”
and no man cometh up with thee, and also no man is seen in all the mount, also the flock and the herd do not feed over-against that mount.'
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.
And he heweth two tables of stone like the first, and Moses riseth early in the morning, and goeth up unto mount Sinai, as Jehovah commanded him, and he taketh in his hand two tables of stone.
5 Yahweh akaja chini katika wingu na akasima mbele za Musa, na akatamka jina “Yahweh.”
And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah,
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,
and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: 'Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,
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.”
keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third [generation], and on a fourth.'
8 Musa haraka akainamisha kichwa chake kwenye ardhi na kuabudu.
And Moses hasteth, and boweth to the earth, and doth obeisance,
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.”
and saith, 'If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee, go in our midst (for it [is] a stiff-necked people), and thou hast forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us.'
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 He saith, 'Lo, I am making a covenant: before all thy people I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou [art] have seen the work of Jehovah, for it [is] fearful that which I am doing with thee.
11 Tii amri zangu leo. Ninawaondoa mbele yako Waamori, Wakanani, Wahivi, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi.
'Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee to-day: lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
12 Kuwa mwanglifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi unayo kwenda, au wata kuwa mtego kwako.
take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it become a snare in thy midst;
13 Badala yake, lazima uvunje madhabahu zao, ponda nguzo zao za mawe, na kukata nguzo zao za Ashera.
for their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and its shrines ye cut down;
14 Kwa kuwa wewe haupaswi kumuabudu mungu mwingine, maana Yahweh, ambaye jina lake ni Uwivu, ni Mungu wa uwivu.
for ye do not bow yourselves to another god — for Jehovah, whose name [is] Zealous, is a zealous 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,
'Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have sacrificed to their gods, and [one] hath called to thee, and thou hast eaten of his sacrifice,
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 thou hast taken of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have caused thy sons to go a-whoring after their gods;
17 Usifanye Miungu ya chuma ya kuyayusha.
a molten god thou dost not make to thyself.
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.
'The feast of unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at an appointed time, the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou didst come out from Egypt.
19 Wazaliwa wote ni mwangu, ata mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa mifugo, yote ya ng'ombe na kondoo.
'All opening a womb [are] Mine, and every firstling of thy cattle born a male, ox 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.
and the firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb; and if thou dost not ransom, then thou hast beheaded it; every first-born of thy sons thou dost ransom, and they do not appear before Me empty.
21 Utafanya kazi kwa siku sita, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika. Ata wakati wakilimo na wa mavuno, lazima upumzike.
'Six days thou dost work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest; in ploughing-time and in harvest thou dost 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 a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself; first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the feast of in-gathering, at the revolution of the year.
23 Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wenu wote watajitokeza kwa Bwana Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
'Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, 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 dispossess nations from before thee, and have enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land in thy going up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in a year.
25 Hautatoa damu ya dhabihu yangu na hamira yeyote, wala nyama yeyote kutoka dhabihu za Sherehe ya Pasaka kubaki hadi asubui.
'Thou dost not slaughter with a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice; and the sacrifice of the feast of the passover doth not remain till morning:
26 Lazima ulete matunda ya kwanza yalio bora kutoka nyumbani kwako. Usimchemshe mbuzi mtoto katika maziwa ya mama yake.”
the first of the first-fruits of the land thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid 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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Write for thyself these words, for, according to the tenor of these words I have made with thee a covenant, 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.
And he is there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk; and he writeth on the tables the matters of the covenant — the ten matters.
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 it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony [are] in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His speaking with him,
30 Wakati Aruni na Waisraeli walipo muona Musa, ngozi ya uso wake ulikuwa wa ng'aa, na waliogopa kuja karibu yake.
and Aaron seeth — all the sons of Israel also — Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him.
31 Lakini Musa aliwaita, na Aruni na viongozi wa jamii wakaja kwake. Kisha Musa akasema nao.
And Moses calleth unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the company return unto him, and Moses speaketh unto them;
32 Baada ya haya, watu wote wa Israeli wakaja kwa Musa, na akawambia amri zote Yahweh alizo mpa katika Mlima Sinai.
and afterwards have all the sons of Israel come nigh, and he chargeth them with all that Jehovah hath spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 Musa alipo maliza kuzungumza nao, alifunika uso wake kwa kitambaa.
And Moses finisheth speaking with them, and putteth on his face a vail;
34 Wakati Musa alipoenda mbele za Yahweh kusema naye, aliondoa kitambaa, hadi alipo toka. Alipo toka, aliwaambia Waisraeli alicho amriwa kusema.
and in the going in of Moses before Jehovah to speak with Him, he turneth aside the vail until his coming out; and he hath come out and hath spoken unto the sons of Israel that which he is commanded;
35 Waisraeli walipo muona Musa ana'ngaa uso, alirudisha kitambaa tena usoni mpaka alipokuwa anaenda kuongea na Yahweh.
and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses that the skin of the face of Moses hath shone, and Moses hath put back the vail on his face until his going in to speak with Him.
