Mambo ya Walawi 26
1 Msijitengenezee sanamu, wala msisimamishe kinyago cha kuchonga au nguzo ya jiwe ya kuabudia, na msisimamisha sura ya jiwe la kuchonga katika nchi yenu mtayoiinamia, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.
2 Ni lazima muitunze Sabato Yangu na kupaheshimu patakatifu pangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3 Iwapo mtatembea katika sheria zangu na kuzishika amri zangu na kuzitii,
If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4 Nami nitawapa ninyi mvua katika majira yake; nayo nchi itatoa mazao yake, na miti ya shambani itatoa matunda yake.
Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Upuraji wenu utaendelea hata wakati wa mavuno ya zabibu, na mavuno ya zabibu yataendelea mpaka majira ya kupada mbegu. Nanyi mtakula mkate na kushiba na kuishi salama mahali mtakapofanya mji wenu katika nchi.
And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 Nitawapa amani; mtalala bila ya kitu chochote kuwatia hofu. Nitawaondolea mbali wanyama waliohatari katika nchi, na upanga hautapita katika nchi yenu.
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7 Mtawafukuza adui zenu, nao wataanguka mbele yenu kwa upanga.
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 Watu wenu watano watafukuza adui mia moja, na watu wenu mia moja watafukuza adui elfu kumi; adui zenu wataanguka mbele yenu kwa upanga.
And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 Nitawatazama kwa upendeleo na kuwafanya nyinyi mzae na kuwazidisha nyinyi.
For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 Mtakula chakula kilichotunzwa ghalani kwa muda mrefu. Mtayaondoa mazao yaliyohifadhiwa ghalani kwa sababu mtahitaji ghala kwa ajili ya mavuno mapya.
And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11 Nitaliweka hema langu katikati yenu, nami stachukizwa nanyi.
And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 Nitatembea miongoni mwenu nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu, nanyi mtakuwa watu wangu.
And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliyewaleta nyinyi kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili kwamba msingeendelea kuwa watumwa wao. Nimevunja makomeo ya nira yenu na nikawafanya mtembee kwa kunyooka.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 Lakini ikiwa hamtanisikiliza mimi,
But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 na kutozitii amri hizi, na ikiwa mtayakataa maagizo yangu, na kuzichukia sana sheria zangu, kiasi kwamba hamtaweza kuzitii amri zangu zote, lakini mkalivunja agano langu—
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul shall abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16 —kama mtafanya mambo haya, Nami nitafanya hili kwenu: Nitasababisha hofu juu yenu, maradhi na homa kali itakayoangamiza macho na kuondoa uhai wenu. Mtapanda mbegu zenu kwa hasara, kwa sababu adui zenu watakula mazao yake.
I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 Nitakaza uso wangu dhidi yenu, na mtashindwa na adui zenu. Watu wanaowachukia watatawala juu yenu, na mtakimbia hata kama hakutakuwa na yeyote anayewafukuza.
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18 Iwapo hamtasikiliza maagizo yangu, Nami niwataadhibu vikali mara saba kwa dhambi zenu.
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19 Nami nitakivunja kiburi chenu katika uwezo wenu. Nitaifanya mbingu juu yenu iwe kama chuma na nchi yenu kama shaba.
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
20 Nguvu yenu itatumika bure, kwa sababu nchi yenu haitazalisha mavuno yake, na miti yenu katika nchi haitazaa matunda yake.
And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
21 Iwapo mtataenenda kinyume changu na hamtanisikiliza mimi, nitaleta mapigo mara saba zaidi juu yenu, sawasawa na dhambi zenu.
And if ye shall walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22 Nitatuma wanyama mapori hatari dhidi yenu, ambao watawaibia watoto wenu, kuangamiza mifugo yenu na kuwafanya mwe wachache katika idadi yenu. Hivyo barabara zenu zitakuwa nyeupe.
I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
23 Endapo pamoja na mambo haya kuwapata lakini msiyakubali marekebisho yangu na mkazidi kuenenda katika upinzani dhidi yangu,
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me;
24 ndipo nami pia nitaenenda kinyume chenu, na Mimi mwenyewe nitawaadhibu mara saba kwa sababu ya dhambi zenu.
Then will I also walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25 Nitaleta upanga juu yenu utakaowaadhibu kwa kisasi kwa sababu ya kulivunja agano. Nanyi mtajikusanya kwenye miji yenu, Nami nitatuma humo maafa miongoni mwenu, na mtachukuliwa mikononi mwa adui yenu.
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 Nitakapokomesha mgao wa chakula, wanawake kumi wataweza kuoka mkate wako katika chombo kimoja cha kuokea na watakugawia mkate wako kwa uzani. Nanyi mtakula lakini hamtatoshelezwa.
And when I have broke the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 Endapo hamtanisikiliza pamoja na mambo haya kuwapata, lakini mkazidi kuenenda kinyume na mimi,
And if ye will not for all this hearken to me, but walk contrary to me;
28 kisha nami nitakwenda kinyume nanyi katika hasira, Nami nitawaadhibu hata mara saba kulingana na wingi wa dhambi zenu.
Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 Ndipo mtakapokula nyama ya wana wenu; mtakula nyama ya binti zenu.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30 Nitapaangamiza mahali penu pa juu, kuziangusha chini madhabahu zenu za kufukizia uvumba, na kuzitupa maiti zenu juu ya maiti ya sanamu zenu, na Mimi mwenyewe nitawadharau nyinyi.
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your remains upon the remains of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31 Nitaigeuza miji yennu kuwa magofu na kupaharibu patakatifu penu. Nami sitapendezwa na harufu nzuri ya matoleo yenu.
And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
32 Nami nitaiharibu nchi. Adui zenu watakaokuwa wakiishi humo watashtushwa na uharibifu huo.
And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
33 Nami nitawatawanya nyinyi katika mataifa, na nitaufuta upanga wangu na kuwafuatia. Nchi yenu itatelekezwa, na miji yenu itakuwa magofu.
And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
34 Nayo nchi itazifurahia Sabato zake kwa kuwa itakuwa imetelekezwa na ninyi mkiwa katika nchi za daui zenu. Katika nyakati hizo, nchi itapumzika na kufurahia Sabato zake.
Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.
35 Maadamu itakuwa imetelekezwa, itakuwa na pumziko, ambalo litakuwa ni pumziko iliyolikosa pamoja na Sabato zenu mlipokuwa mkiishi ndani yake.
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 Na kwa wale watakoachwa humo kwenye nchi za adui zenu, Nitatuma hofu ndani ya mioyo yenu kiasi kwamba hata kama ni maelfu ya majani tu yatakapopeperushwa katika upepo yatawaogofyeni. Nanyi mtaanguka hata kama hakutakuwa na awafukuzaye.
And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
37 Mtajikwaa kila mmoja juu ya mwenzake kama vile mlikuwa mkiukimbia upanga, hata kama hakutakuwa na awafukuzaye nyinyi. Hamtakuwa na nguvu ya kusimama mbele ya daui zenu.
And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 Nanyi mtaangamia miongoni mwa mataifa, nayo nchi ya adui zenu yenyewe itawamezani.
And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 Wale watakosalia miongoni mwenu watapotelea katika dhambi zao, huko kwenye nchi za adui zenu, na kwa sababu ya dhambi zao, na kwa sababu ya dhambi za baba zao watapotelea mbali pia.
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 Lakini kama watakiri dhambi zao na dhambi ya baba zao, na usaliti wao ambao kwao hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu, pia na mwenendo wao dhidi yangu—
If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me;
41 ambao ulinisababisha kuwa kinyume nao, na kuwaleta katika nchi ya adui zao—iwapo mioyo yao isiyotahiriwa itanynyekezwa,
And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 na iwapo wataikubali adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao, nami nitalikumbuka agano langu na Yakobo, agano langu na Isaka, agano langu na Abrahamu; Pia, nitaikumbuka nchi.
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43 Nchi itakayotelekezwa na wao, hivyo itapendezwa na Sabato zake inapobaki imetelekezwa na wao. Itawapasa kulipa hatia kwa dhambi zao kwa sababu ni wao wenyewe ndiyo walioyakataa maagizo yangu na kuzichukia sheria zangu.
The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 Lakini pamoja na haya yote, watapokuwa katika nchi ya adui zao, Mimi stawakataa wao, wala sitawachukia ili kuwaangamiza kabisa na kulifutilia mbali agano langu nilililoagana nao, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wao.
And yet for all that, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
45 Bali kwa ajili yao, nitalikumbuka agano langu na baba zao, niliowaleta kutoka katika nchi ya Misri machoni pa mataifa, ili niwe Mungu wao. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.”
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
46 Hizi ndizo amri, hukumu, na sheria ambazo Yahweh alifanya baina yake na watu wa Israeli kwenye Mlima Sinai kwa kupitia Musa.
These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
