< Hesabu 10 >
1 BWANA alinena na Musa, akasema,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “tengenza tarumbeta mbili za fedha. Uzitengeneze kwa kufua hizo fedha. Utazitumia hizo tarumbeta kwa kuwaita watu waje pamoja na kwa kuwaita watu wote wakati wa kuondoka kwenye kambi zao.
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Makuhani watapiga tarumbeta kwa ajili ya kuwaita watu wote mbele yako kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 Kama makuhani watapiga tarumbeta moja tu, basi viongozi, vichwa koo za Israeli ndipo watakapokutana kwako.
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to thee.
5 Utakapopiga tarumbeta ya sauti kuu, ile kambi ya upande wa mashariki itaanza kusafiri.
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 Nawe utakapopiga tarumeta kwa sauti kuu mara ya pili, ile kambi ya upande wa kusini wataanza kusafiri. Watapiga tarumbeta kwa sauti kuu ili kuanza safari yao.
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 Watu wote watakapokutana pamoja, piga hizo tarumbeta lakini si kwa sauti kuu.
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 Wana wa Haruni, makuhani, watapiga hizo tarumbeta. Huu ndio utakaokuwa utaratibu wa watu wako kwa vizazi vyote.
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 Nanyi mtakapoenda vitani katika ardhi yenu dhidi ya maadui wenu wanaowakandamiza, ndipo mtakapotoa ishara ya sauti ya tarumbeta. Mimi, BWANA Mungu wako nitawaita kuwakumbuka na kuwaokoa kutoka kwa maadui wenu.
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Pia, wakati wa kusherehekea, sikukuu zenu za kawaida na katika miandamo ya miezi, mtapiga tarumbeta zenu kwa heshima ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na kwa sadaka zenu za amani. Huu utakuwa ukumbusho wenu kwangu, Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu.”
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
11 Katika siku ya ishrini, mwezi wa pili, mwaka wa pili, Lile wingu liliinuliwa toka masikani ya amri za maagano.
And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 Wana wa Israeli wakaendelea na safari yao toka jangwa la Sinai. Lile wingu likasimama kwenye jangwa la Parani.
And the children of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 Walifanya safari yao ya kwanza, kufuatia amri ya BWANA iliyotolewa kupitia kwa Musa.
And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
14 Kambi ya mahali pa uzao wa Yuda iliondoka ya kanza, wakiondoa majeshi yao binafsi. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Yuda.

And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other set up the tabernacle for their coming.

29 Musa alinena na Hobibu mwana wa Reueli wa Kabila la Midiani. Reueli alikuwa baba mke wa Musa. Musa akanena na Hobibu akasema, “Tunasafiri kuelekea mahali ambapo BWANA ametuahidi. BWANA alisema kuwa, “Nitawapeni ninyi hilo eneo, 'Njoni pamoja nasi na tutawatendea mema. BWANA ameahidi kuwafanyia mema Waisraeli.”
And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 Lakini Hobibu akmwambia Musa, “Sitaambatana nanyi.”
And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.
31 Naye Musa akamjibu, “Tafadhali msituache. Mnajua jinsi ilivyo kuweka kambi jangwani. Tunaomba mtujali.
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
32 Kama mtaambatana nasi tutawatendea mema sawa na jinsi BWANA anavyotutendea.”
And it shall be, if thou wilt go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to thee.
33 Walisafiri kutoka mlima wa BWANA kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la agano la BWANA liliwatangulia kwa siku tatu ili kupata mahali pa kupumzika.
And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to seek a resting place for them.
34 Wingu la BWANA lilikuwa juu yao muda wote wa mchana walipokuwa safarini.
And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 Kila hilo sanduku liliposafiri kwenda mbele, Musa alisema, “Inuka BWANA, Uwatawanye maadui wako. Uwafanye wale wanaokuchukia kukukimbia.”
And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
36 Na kila lile sanduku liliposimama, Musa alisema, “BWANA uwarudie, hawa Waisraeli makumi elfu.”
And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.
