Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that all of you may learn them, and keep, and do them.

Musa aliwaita Israeli yote na akasema nao, “Sikiliza, Israeli, kwa amri na sheria ambazo nitasema katika masikio yenu leo, muweze kujifunza na kuzishika.

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

Yahwe Mungu wetu alifanya agano nasi huko Horeb.

3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

Yahwe hakufanya agano hili pamoja na mababu zetu, lakini na sisi, sisi wote tu hai hapa leo.

4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

Yahwe alizungumza nawe uso kwa uso kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto

5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for all of you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying,

(Nilisimama kati ya Yahwe na wewe kwa wakati huo, kukufunulia wewe neno lake, kwa kuwa ulikuwa umeogopa kwa sababu ya moto, na haukwenda juu ya mlima), Yahwe alisema,

6 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

'Mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nyumba ya utumwa.

7 You shall have no other gods before me.

Hautakuwa na miungu mingine mbele yangu.

8 You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Hautajifanyia mwenyewe sanamu ya kuchonga wala mfano wa kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni, au kilicho chini ya dunia, au kilicho chini ya maji.

9 You shall not bow down yourself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Hautavisujudia au kuvitumikia, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahwe Mungu wako, ni Mungu wa wivu, Nawaadhibu uovu wa mababu kwa kuleta adhabu juu ya watoto, kwa kizazi cha tatu na cha nne cha wale wanichukiao,

10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

na kuonesha agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu, kwa wale wanaonipenda na kushika amri zangu.

11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

Hautalichukua jina la Yahwe Mungu wako bure, kwa kuwa Yahwe hatamshikilia kuwa ana hatia yeye alichukuae jina bure.

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

Zingantia siku ya Sabato kwa kuiweka takatifu, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru.

13 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work:

Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na fanya kazi zako zote,

14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.

lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato kwa Yahwe Mungu wako. Kwa siku hiyo hautafanya kazi yoyote- si wewe, wala mwana wako, wala binti yako, wala mjakazi wako wa kiume, wala maksai wako, wala punda wako, wala mifugo wako, wala mgeni yeyote aliye katika malango yako. Hii ni kwamba mjakazi wako wa kiume na mjakazi wako wa kike wapate kumpuzika pamoja na wewe.

15 And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.

Utakumbuka katika akili yako kwamba ulikuo mtumwa katika nchi ya Misri, na Yahwe Mungu wako alikutoa kutoka huko kwa mkono wa uweza na mkono ulionyoshwa. Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wako amekuamuru kuitunza siku ya Sabato.

16 Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

Mheshimu baba yako na mama yako, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru kufanya, ili kwamba uweze kuishi muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako akupa, ili kwamba iende kwa uzuri kwako.

17 You shall not kill.

Hautaua,

18 Neither shall you commit adultery.

hautazini,

19 Neither shall you steal.

hautaiba,

20 Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.

hautashuhudia uongo dhidi ya ndugu yako.

21 Neither shall you desire your neighbour's wife, neither shall you covet your neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your neighbour's.

Hautamtamani mke wa jirani yako, hautatamani nyumba ya jirani yako, shamba lake, au mjakazi wake wa kiume, au mjakazi wake wa kike, maksai au punda wako, au chochote ambacho ni mali ya jirani yako.

22 These words the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

Haya maneno Yahwe alisema kwa sauti kubwa kwa kusanyiko lako lote kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto, mawingu, giza zito, hakuongeza maneno yoyote zaidi. Na aliandika chini kwenye mbao mbili za mawe na akanipa mimi.

23 And it came to pass, when all of you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that all of you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

Ilipokaribia, pindi uliposikia sauti toka katikati mwa giza, wakati mlima unawaka moto, kuwa mlikuja karibu nami, wazee wako wote, na wakuu wa makibila yako.

24 And all of you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.

Ulisema, Tazama, Yahwe Mungu wetu ametuonesha utukufu wake na ukuu wake, na tumeisikia sauti yake toka katikati mwa moto, tumeona leo kwamba wakati Mungu azungumza na watu, wanaweza kuishi.

25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

Lakini kwanini tufe? Kwa kuwa mto huu mkuu utatutoshereza sisi; kama tutasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu tena, tutakufa.

26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

Kwa kuwa badala yetu kuna miongoni mwetu wa mwili ambao wamesikia sauti ya Mungu aliye hai akizungumza toka katikati mwa moto na kuishi, kama tulivyofanya?

27 Go you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak you unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto you; and we will hear it, and do it.

Kwenu ninyi, mnapaswa kwenda na kusikiliza kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema; rudia kwetu kila kitu ambacho Yahwe Mungu wetu asema kwenu; tutamsikiliza na kumtii.'

28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when all of you spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

Yahweh alisikia maneno yenu pindi mlipozungumza nami. Alisema na mimi, “Nimekwisha sikia maneno ya watu hawa, kile wanasema kwako. Kile walichosema kilikuwa kizuri.

29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Oh, kulikuwa na moyo wa namba hiyo ndani yao, kwamba wataniheshimu na daima kushika amri zangu zote, ili iweze kuwa vizuri kwao na pamoja na watoto wao milele!

30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

Nenda useme nao, “Rudini kwenye mahema.”

31 But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak unto you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

Lakini kwenu, simama karibu nami, na nitakuambia amri zote, sheria, na maagizo ambayo mtawafundisha, ili kwamba waweze kuyashika katika nchi ambayo nitawapa kumiliki.'

32 All of you shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: all of you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Utashika, kwa hiyo, kile Yahwe Mungu wenu amewaamuru; hamtageukia mkono wa kulia au kushoto.

33 All of you shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that all of you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that all of you may prolong your days in the land which all of you shall possess.

Mtatembea katika njia zote ambazo Yahwe Mungu wenu, amewaamuru ili kusudi muweze kuishi, na ili kwamba iweze kwenda vizuri kwenu, na kwamba muweze kuongeza siku zenu katika nchi ambayo mtaimiliki.
