Torati 5
1 Musa aliwaita Israeli yote na akasema nao, “Sikiliza, Israeli, kwa amri na sheria ambazo nitasema katika masikio yenu leo, muweze kujifunza na kuzishika.
And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, 'Hear, Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I am speaking in your ears to-day, and ye have learned them, and have observed to do them.
2 Yahwe Mungu wetu alifanya agano nasi huko Horeb.
Jehovah our God made with us a covenant in Horeb;
3 Yahwe hakufanya agano hili pamoja na mababu zetu, lakini na sisi, sisi wote tu hai hapa leo.
not with our fathers hath Jehovah made this covenant, but with us; we — these — here to-day — all of us alive.
4 Yahwe alizungumza nawe uso kwa uso kwenye mlima toka katikati mwa moto
Face to face hath Jehovah spoken with you, in the mount, out of the midst of the fire;
5 (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,
I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the mount; saying:
6 'Mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako, niliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nyumba ya utumwa.
'I Jehovah [am] thy God, who hath brought thee out from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants.
7 Hautakuwa na miungu mingine mbele yangu.
'Thou hast no other gods in My presence.
8 Hautajifanyia mwenyewe sanamu ya kuchonga wala mfano wa kitu chochote kilicho juu mbinguni, au kilicho chini ya dunia, au kilicho chini ya maji.
'Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude which [is] in the heavens above, and which [is] in the earth beneath, and which [is] in the waters under the earth;
9 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,
thou dost not bow thyself to them nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on a third [generation], and on a fourth, to those hating Me;
10 na kuonesha agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu, kwa wale wanaonipenda na kushika amri zangu.
and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commands.
11 Hautalichukua jina la Yahwe Mungu wako bure, kwa kuwa Yahwe hatamshikilia kuwa ana hatia yeye alichukuae jina bure.
'Thou dost not take up the Name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah doth not acquit him who taketh up His Name for a vain thing.
12 Zingantia siku ya Sabato kwa kuiweka takatifu, kama Yahwe Mungu wako alivyokuamuru.
'Observe the day of the sabbath — to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;
13 Kwa siku sita utafanya kazi na fanya kazi zako zote,
six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
14 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.
and the seventh day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself;
15 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.
and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.
16 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.
'Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, so that thy days are prolonged, and so that it is well with thee, on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
17 Hautaua,
'Thou dost not murder.
18 hautazini,
'Thou dost not commit adultery.
19 hautaiba,
'Thou dost not steal.
20 hautashuhudia uongo dhidi ya ndugu yako.
'Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour — a false testimony.
21 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.
'Thou dost not desire thy neighbour's wife; nor dost thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, and his man-servant, and his handmaid, his ox, and his ass, and anything which [is] thy neighbour's.
22 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.
'These words hath Jehovah spoken unto all your assembly, in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness — a great voice; and He hath not added, and He writeth them on two tables of stone, and giveth them unto me.
23 Ilipokaribia, pindi uliposikia sauti toka katikati mwa giza, wakati mlima unawaka moto, kuwa mlikuja karibu nami, wazee wako wote, na wakuu wa makibila yako.
'And it cometh to pass as ye hear the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and of the mountain burning with fire, that ye come near unto me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders,
24 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.
and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man — and he hath lived.
25 Lakini kwanini tufe? Kwa kuwa mto huu mkuu utatutoshereza sisi; kama tutasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wetu tena, tutakufa.
'And, now, why do we die? for consume us doth this great fire — if we add to hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more — then we have died.
26 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?
For who of all flesh [is] he who hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us — and doth live?
27 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.'
Draw near thou, and hear all that which Jehovah our God saith, and thou, thou dost speak unto us all that which Jehovah our God speaketh unto thee, and we have hearkened, and done it.
28 Yahweh alisikia maneno yenu pindi mlipozungumza nami. Alisema na mimi, “Nimekwisha sikia maneno ya watu hawa, kile wanasema kwako. Kile walichosema kilikuwa kizuri.
'And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, in your speaking unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee; they have done well [in] all that they have spoken.
29 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!
O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me, and to keep My commands all the days, that it may be well with them, and with their sons — to the age!
30 Nenda useme nao, “Rudini kwenye mahema.”
'Go, say to them, Turn back for yourselves, to your tents;
31 Lakini kwenu, simama karibu nami, na nitakuambia amri zote, sheria, na maagizo ambayo mtawafundisha, ili kwamba waweze kuyashika katika nchi ambayo nitawapa kumiliki.'
and thou here stand thou with Me, and let Me speak unto thee all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which thou dost teach them, and they have done in the land which I am giving to them to possess it.
32 Utashika, kwa hiyo, kile Yahwe Mungu wenu amewaamuru; hamtageukia mkono wa kulia au kushoto.
'And ye have observed to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you, ye turn not aside — right or left;
33 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.
in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you ye walk, so that ye live, and [it is] well with you, and ye have prolonged days in the land which ye possess.
