Deuteronomy 27
1 Then Moses with the Elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keepe all the comandements, which I command you this day.
Mose na wazee wa Israeli wakawaagiza watu: “Yashikeni maagizo haya yote ninayowaagiza leo.
2 And when ye shall passe ouer Iorden vnto the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt set thee vp great stones, and playster them with plaister,
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Mto Yordani na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, msimamishe mawe makubwa na mkayatie lipu.
3 And shalt write vpon them all the words of this Lawe, when thou shalt come ouer, that thou mayest go into the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee: a land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
Andikeni juu yake maneno yote ya sheria hii wakati mtakapokuwa mmevuka na kuingia katika nchi awapayo Bwana Mungu wenu, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, kama vile Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, alivyowaahidi.
4 Therefore when ye shall passe ouer Iorden, ye shall set vp these stones, which I command you this daye in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
Mtakapokuwa mmevuka Yordani, simamisheni mawe haya juu ya Mlima Ebali, kama ninavyowaagiza leo, mkayatie lipu.
5 And there shalt thou build vnto the Lord thy God an altar, euen an altar of stones: thou shalt lift none yron instrument vpon them.
Huko mjengeeni Bwana Mungu wenu madhabahu, madhabahu ya mawe. Msitumie kifaa chochote cha chuma juu yake.
6 Thou shalt make the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones, and offer burnt offerings thereon vnto the Lord thy God.
Jengeni madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wenu kwa mawe ya shambani, na mtoe sadaka za kuteketezwa juu yake kwa Bwana Mungu wenu.
7 And thou shalt offer peace offrings, and shalt eate there and reioyce before the Lord thy God:
Toeni sadaka za amani juu yake, mkizila na kufurahia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
8 And thou shalt write vpon the stones al the words of this Law, well and plainely.
Nanyi mtaandika maneno yote ya sheria hii kwa wazi sana juu ya mawe haya ambayo mmesimamisha.”
9 And Moses and the Priestes of the Leuites spake vnto all Israel, saying, Take heede and heare, O Israel: this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God.
Kisha Mose na makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, wakawaambia Israeli wote, “Nyamaza ee Israeli, sikiliza! Sasa umekuwa taifa la Bwana Mungu wako.
10 Thou shalt hearken therefore vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, and do his commandements and his ordinances, which I commande thee this day.
Mtii Bwana Mungu wako, na kufuata amri zake na maagizo ninayokupa leo.”
11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
Siku ile ile Mose akawaagiza watu:
12 These shall stand vpon mount Gerizzim, to blesse the people when ye shall passe ouer Iorden: Simeon, and Leui, and Iudah, and Issachar, and Ioseph, and Beniamin.
Mtakapovuka Mto Yordani, makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu kubariki watu: Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari, Yosefu na Benyamini.
13 And these shall stand vpon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Makabila haya yatasimama juu ya Mlima Ebali kwa kutamka laana: Reubeni, Gadi, Asheri, Zabuloni, Dani na Naftali.
14 And the Leuites shall answere and say vnto all the men of Israel with a loude voyce,
Nao Walawi watawasomea watu wote wa Israeli kwa sauti kubwa:
