Exodus 34
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Kata mbao mbili za mawe kama zile za awali. Nitaandika kwenye hizi mbao za mawe maneno yaliyo kuwa kwenye mbao za mawe za mwanzo, mbao za mawe ulizo zivunja.
2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.
Kuwa tayari asubui na uje Mlima Sinai, na uje mbele zangu juu ya mlima.
3 No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let the flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.”
Hakuna atakaye kuja nawe. Usiruhusu mtu yeyote aonekana popote kwenye mlima. Hakuna kundi la mifugo wanao ruhusiwa ata kula mbele ya mlima.”
4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; then Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
Hivyo Musa akakata mbao mbili za mawe kama za mwanzo, na akaamka asubui mapema na kwenda juu ya Mlima Sinai, kama Yahweh alivyo muelekeza. Musa alibeba mbao za mawe mikononi mwake.
5 The LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the LORD’s name.
Yahweh akaja chini katika wingu na akasima mbele za Musa, na akatamka jina “Yahweh.”
6 The LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, “The LORD! The LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
Yahweh akapita kwake na kukiri, “Yahweh, Yahweh, Mungu ni wa rehema na wa neema, sio mwepesi wa hasira, na anadumu katika uwaminifu wa agano na uadilifu,
7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
ukishika uaminifu wa agano kwa vizazi maelfu, ukisamehe maasi, makosa, na dhambi. Lakini hamsafishi mwenye hatia. Ataleta adhabu ya dhambi za baba kwa watoto wao na watoto wa watoto wao, kwa kizazi cha tatu na hadi cha nne.”
8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.
Musa haraka akainamisha kichwa chake kwenye ardhi na kuabudu.
9 He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
Kisha akasema, “Kama sasa nimepata upendeleo machoni pako, Bwana wangu, tafadhali nenda pamoja nasi, kwa kuwa hawa watu ni wa korofi. Samehe maasi yetu na dhambi zetu, na utuchukuwe kama urithi wako.”
10 He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.
Yahweh akasema, “Ona, ninakaribu kufanya agano. Mbele za watu wako, nitafanya maajabu ambayo hayajawai kufanywa duniani kote wala kwenye taifa lote. Watu wote miongoni mwako wataona matendo yangu, kwa kuwa ni kitu cha hofu ninacho fanya kwako.
11 Observe that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Tii amri zangu leo. Ninawaondoa mbele yako Waamori, Wakanani, Wahivi, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi.
12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you;
Kuwa mwanglifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi unayo kwenda, au wata kuwa mtego kwako.
13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;
Badala yake, lazima uvunje madhabahu zao, ponda nguzo zao za mawe, na kukata nguzo zao za Ashera.
14 for you shall worship no other god; for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Kwa kuwa wewe haupaswi kumuabudu mungu mwingine, maana Yahweh, ambaye jina lake ni Uwivu, ni Mungu wa uwivu.
15 “Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
Hivyo kuwa mwangalifu usifanye agano na wakazi wa nchi, kwa kuwa wanajifanyia ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na wanatoa dhabihu kwa miungu yao. Kisha mmoja wao ata kukaribisha na wewe utakula baadhi ya dhabihu zake,
16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
na kisha utachukuwa baadhi ya mabinti zake kwa wanao, na mabinti wake watafanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao, na watafanya wanao kufanya ukahaba kwa miungu yao.
17 “You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.
Usifanye Miungu ya chuma ya kuyayusha.
18 “You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.
Laziam ushike Sherehe ya Mkate Usiotiwachachu. Kama nilivyo kuamuru, lazima ule mkate usio na hamira kwa siku saba kwa muda uliotengwa wa mwezi wa Abibu, maana nikatika mwezi wa Abibu ulitoka Misri.
19 “All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
Wazaliwa wote ni mwangu, ata mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa mifugo, yote ya ng'ombe na kondoo.
20 You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before me empty.
Lazima umnunue tena mzaliwa kwanza wa punda kwa kondoo, lakini usipo mnunua tena, kisha uivunje shingo yake. Lazima ununue tena wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa wanao. Hakuna ata mmoja atakye kuja kwangu mikono mitupu.
21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
Utafanya kazi kwa siku sita, lakini siku ya saba utapumzika. Ata wakati wakilimo na wa mavuno, lazima upumzike.
22 “You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year’s end.
Lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Majuma kwa mazao ya kwanza ya mavuno ya ngano, na lazima uadhimishe Sherehe ya Makusanyo mwisho wa mwaka.
23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wenu wote watajitokeza kwa Bwana Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before the LORD, your God, three times in the year.
Kwa kuwa nitaondoa mataifa mbele yenu na kutanua mipika. Hakuna atakaye tamani kuwa na ardhi yenu kama yao utakapo toka mbele za Yahweh mara tatu kwa mwaka.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not be left to the morning.
Hautatoa damu ya dhabihu yangu na hamira yeyote, wala nyama yeyote kutoka dhabihu za Sherehe ya Pasaka kubaki hadi asubui.
26 “You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of the LORD your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
Lazima ulete matunda ya kwanza yalio bora kutoka nyumbani kwako. Usimchemshe mbuzi mtoto katika maziwa ya mama yake.”
27 The LORD said to Moses, “Write these words; for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Andika chini haya maneno, kwa kuwa nimejiahidi haya maneno niliyo yasema, na nimefanya agano kwako na Israeli.”
28 He was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Musa alikuwa huko na Yahweh kwa siku arobaini na usiku; hakula chakula chochote wala kunywa maji yeyote. Aliandika katika mbao maneno ya agano, Amri kumi.
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
Musa alipo shuka chini ya Mlima Sinai na mbao mbili za agano za ushuhuda mikononi mwake, hakujua kuwa ngozi ya kuwa uso wake ulikuwa wa'ngaa akizungumza na Mungu.
30 When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
Wakati Aruni na Waisraeli walipo muona Musa, ngozi ya uso wake ulikuwa wa ng'aa, na waliogopa kuja karibu yake.
31 Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.
Lakini Musa aliwaita, na Aruni na viongozi wa jamii wakaja kwake. Kisha Musa akasema nao.
32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the commandments that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Baada ya haya, watu wote wa Israeli wakaja kwa Musa, na akawambia amri zote Yahweh alizo mpa katika Mlima Sinai.
33 When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
Musa alipo maliza kuzungumza nao, alifunika uso wake kwa kitambaa.
34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
Wakati Musa alipoenda mbele za Yahweh kusema naye, aliondoa kitambaa, hadi alipo toka. Alipo toka, aliwaambia Waisraeli alicho amriwa kusema.
35 The children of Israel saw Moses’ face, that the skin of Moses’ face shone; so Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
Waisraeli walipo muona Musa ana'ngaa uso, alirudisha kitambaa tena usoni mpaka alipokuwa anaenda kuongea na Yahweh.
