1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
Amri hii ninayokuamuru leo mtaishika kuitenda, mpate kuishi na kuongezeka, na kuingia katika nchi ile ambayo Bwana aliwaapia baba zenu; nanyi mtaimiliki.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Nawe utaikumbuka njia ile yote Bwana, Mungu wako aliyokuongoza miaka hii arobaini katika jangwa, ili akutweze, kukujaribu kuyajua yaliyo moyoni mwako, kwamba utashika amri zake, au sivyo.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Akakutweza, akakuacha uone njaa, akakulisha kwa mana, usiyoijua wewe wala baba zako hawakuijua; apate kukujulisha ya kuwa mwanadamu haishi kwa mkate tu, bali huishi kwa kila litokalo katika kinywa cha Bwana.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Mavazi yako hayakuchakaa, wala mguu wako haukuvimba, miaka hiyo arobaini.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Nawe fikiri moyoni mwako, ya kuwa kama vile baba amrudivyo mwanawe, ndivyo Bwana, Mungu wako, akurudivyo.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Nawe uzishike amri za Bwana, Mungu wako, upate kwenda katika njia zake, na kumcha.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
Kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu wako, yuakuingiza katika nchi nzuri, nchi yenye vijito vya maji, na chemchemi, na visima, vibubujikavyo katika mabonde na milima;
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
nchi ya ngano na shayiri, na mizabibu, na mitini, na mikomamanga; nchi ya mizeituni yenye mafuta, na asali;
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
nchi utakayokula mikate humo, pasina shida, hutapungukiwa na kitu ndani yake; nchi ambayo mawe yake ni chuma, na milima yake yafukuka shaba.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Nawe utakula ushibe, utamshukuru Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa nchi nzuri aliyokupa.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
Jihadhari, usije ukamsahau Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa kutozishika amri zake, na hukumu zake, na sheria zake, ninazokuamuru leo.
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein ;
Angalia, utakapokuwa umekula na kushiba, na kujenga nyumba nzuri na kukaa ndani yake;
13 and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
na makundi yako ya ng'ombe na kondoo yatakapoongezeka, na fedha yako na dhahabu yako itakapoongezeka, na kila kitu ulicho nacho kitakapoongezeka;
14 then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
basi hapo moyo wako usiinuke, ukamsahau Bwana, Mungu wako, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, katika nyumba ya utumwa;
15 who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
aliyekuongoza katika jangwa lile kubwa lenye kitisho, lenye nyoka za moto na nge, nchi ya kiu isiyokuwa na maji; aliyekutolea maji katika mwamba mgumu,
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
aliyekulisha jangwani kwa mana, wasiyoijua baba zako; apate kukutweza, apate kukujaribu, ili kukutendea mema mwisho wako.
17 and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
Hapo usiseme moyoni mwako, Nguvu zangu na uwezo wa mkono wangu ndio ulionipatia utajiri huo.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Bali utamkumbuka Bwana, Mungu wako, maana ndiye akupaye nguvu za kupata utajiri; ili alifanye imara agano lake alilowapa baba zako, kama hivi leo.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Lakini itakuwa, kama ukimsahau Bwana, Mungu wako, na kuiandama miungu mingine, na kuitumikia na kuiabudu, nawashuhudia leo ya kuwa mtaangamia bila shaka.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Kama vile mataifa yale ambayo Bwana anawaangamiza mbele yenu, ndivyo mtakavyoangamia; kwa sababu hamkutaka kuisikiliza sauti ya Bwana, Mungu wenu.
