1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
Tena itakuwa, mambo haya yote yatakapokujilia, baraka na laana nilizoweka mbele yako, nawe utakapozikumbuka kati ya mataifa yote, huko atakakokupeleka Bwana, Mungu wako,
2 and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
nawe utakapomrudia Bwana, Mungu wako, na kuitii sauti yake, mfano wa yote nikuagizayo leo, wewe na wanao, kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote;
3 that then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
ndipo Bwana, Mungu wako, atakapougeuza utumwa wako, naye atakuhurumia, tena atarejea na kukukusanya kutoka mataifa yote, huko alikokutawanyia Bwana, Mungu wako.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
Watu wako waliotawanyika wakiwako katika ncha za mbingu za mwisho, kutoka huko atakukusanya Bwana, Mungu wako; kutoka huko atakutwaa;
5 and the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
atakuleta Bwana, Mungu wako, uingie nchi waliyomiliki baba zako, nawe utaimiliki; naye atakutendea mema, na kukufanya uwe watu wengi kuliko baba zako.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Bwana, Mungu wako, atautahiri moyo wako, na moyo wa uzao wako, ili umpende Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote, upate kuwa hai.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
Na laana hizi zote Bwana, Mungu wako, atawatia adui zako na hao wakuchukiao, waliokuwa wakikutesa.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
Nawe utarudi, uitii sauti ya Bwana, na kuyafanya maagizo yake yote nikuagizayo leo.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
Na Bwana, Mungu wako, atakufanya uwe na wingi wa uheri katika kazi yote ya mkono wako, katika uzao wa tumbo lako, na katika uzao wa ng'ombe wako, na katika uzao wa nchi yako; kwa kuwa Bwana atafurahi tena juu yako kwa wema, kama alivyofurahi juu ya baba zako;
10 if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
ukiwa utaifuata sauti ya Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa kuyashika maagizo yake, na amri zake zilizoandikwa katika chuo hiki cha torati; ukimwelekea Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
Kwa maana maagizo haya nikuagizayo leo, si mazito mno kwako, wala si mbali.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Si mbinguni, hata useme, Ni nani atakayetupandia mbinguni akatuletee, aje atuambie tusikie, tupate kuyafanya?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Wala si ng'ambo ya pili ya bahari, hata useme, Ni nani atakayetuvukia bahari, akatuletee, aje atuambie, tusikie, tupate kuyafanya?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Lakini neno li karibu nawe sana, li katika kinywa chako na moyo wako, upate kulifanya.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Angalia, nimekuwekea leo mbele yako uzima na mema, na mauti na mabaya;
16 in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
kwa hivi nikuagizavyo leo kumpenda Bwana, Mungu wako, kuenenda katika njia zake, na kushika maagizo yake, na amri zake, na hukumu zake, upate kuwa hai na kuongezeka; Bwana, Mungu wako, apate kukubarikia katika nchi uingiayo kuimiliki.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
Lakini moyo wako ukikengeuka, usipotaka kusikiza, lakini ukavutwa kando kwenda kuabudu miungu mingine, na kuitumikia;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
nawahubiri hivi leo hakika mtaangamia; hamtazifanya siku zenu kuwa nyingi juu ya nchi, uivukiayo Yordani, uingie kuimiliki.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Nazishuhudiza mbingu na nchi juu yenu hivi leo, kuwa nimekuwekea mbele yako uzima na mauti, baraka na laana; basi chagua uzima, ili uwe hai, wewe na uzao wako;
20 that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
kumpenda Bwana, Mungu wako, kuitii sauti yake, na kushikamana naye; kwani hiyo ndiyo uzima wako, na wingi wa siku zako; upate kukaa katika nchi Bwana aliyowaapia baba zako, Ibrahimu, na Isaka, na Yakobo, kuwa atawapa.
