Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command you today.
Musa na wazee wa Israeli waliwaamuru watu na kusema, “Zishikeni amri zote ninazowaamuru leo.
2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat them with plaster.
Katika siku mtakapopita juu ya Yordani kwenye nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, mnapaswa kutengeneza mawe kiasi makubwa na kuyachapa kwa lipu.
3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
Mnatakiwa kuyaandika juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii pale mtakapovuka; ili muweze kwenda katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia, nchi inayotiririka kwa maziwa na asali, kama Yahwe, Mungu wa mababu zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.
Mtakapovuka juu ya Yordani, yapangane haya mawe ninayowaamuru leo, juu ya mlima wa Ebali, na myapige kwa lipu.
5 There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.
Hapo mnapaswa kujenga dhabahu kwa Yahwe Mungu wako, dhabahu la mawe; lakini hautakiwi kuinua chombo cha chuma kujenga mawe.
6 You shall build the LORD your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.
Unatakiwa kujenga dhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako kwa mawe yasiyokuwa na kazi; unatakiwa kutoa dhabihu ya kuteketeza juu yake kwa Yahwe Mungu wako,
7 You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
na utatoa sadaka ya pamoja na utakula pale; utafurahia mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako.
8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
Utaandika juu ya mawe maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi.
9 Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.
Musa na makuhani, Walawi, waliongea na Waisraeli wote na kusema, “Nyamazeni na sikilizeni Israel: Leo mmekuwa watu wa Yahwe Mungu wenu.
10 You shall therefore obey the LORD your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”
Mnapaswa basi kutii sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu na kutii amri na sheria zake ambazo ninawaamuru leo.”
11 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
Musa aliwaamuru watu siku hiyo hiyo na kusema,
12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
“Makabila haya yanapaswa kusimama katika mlima Gerizimu kuwabariki watu baada ya nyinyi kuvuka Yordani; Simeoni, Lawi, Judah, Isakari, Yusufu na Benyamini.
13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Haya ni makabila ambayo lazima yasimame juu yam lima Ebali kutamka laana: Rubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dan na Naftali.
14 With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,
Walawi watajibu na kusema kwa wanamume wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
