1 Hina Gode da Mousesema e da alofele Isala: ili dunu ilima sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Dilia hadigi agoane hamoma. Bai Na, dilia Hina Gode, da Hadigidafa gala.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
“Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].

‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
4 Dilia Na mae yolesima. Amola eno loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone mae sia: ne gadoma. Ogogosu ‘gode’ ouli amoga mae hamoma amola ilima mae nodone sia: ne gadoma. Na da dilia Hina Gode!
‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
5 Dilia Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu hamoma: ne, ohe medole legesea, sema huluane Na dilima i, amoma fa: no bobogema. Amasea, Na da dilia iasu hahawane lamu.
‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
6 Amo iasu ea hu da eso amoga e da medole legei o aya eso agoane moma: ne sia: mu. Be eso osoda amoga hu hame mai dialebe ba: sea, amo laluga gobesima.
The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
7 Bai amo hu da ledo hamoi dagoi. Amola dunu afae da amo hu nasea, Na da iasu huluane hame lamu.
For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
8 Nowa da agoaiwane nasea, e da amo liligi Nama ilegei amo da udigili liligi olelesa. Amaiba: le, amo dunu da Na fidafa amoga fadegai dagoi ba: mu.
I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
9 Dilia da dilia ifabi gamisia, gagoma da bega: sagai, amo mae faima. Amo gagoma udigili dialebe, amo lama: ne, mae sinidigima.
‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
10 Amola dilia waini sagai faisia, amoga waini fage fisi dialebe amo lamusa: , bu mae sinidigima. Hame gagui dunu amola ga fi amo moma: ne yolesima. Na da dilia Hina Gode!
And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
11 Wamolasu amola ogogosu hou maedafa hamoma.
‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
12 Dilia udigili Na Dioba: le sia: mae ilegema. Amo hou da Na Dio wadela: sa. Na da dilia Hina Gode.
‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
13 Dilia eno dunu ea hou wadela: ma: ne o ea liligi lamusa: , mae ogogoma. Amola mae wamolama! Nowa da dia hawa: hamosu hamoi galea, ea bidi hedolo ema ima. Gasi afae mae iawane oualigimu da defea hame.

‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
17 Eno dunuma mae higama. Be alia da sia: ga gegesu galea, di da wadela: i hou hamosa: besa: le, hedolowane hou hahamoma.
‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
18 Eno dunuma dabe lama: ne mae dawa: ma amola eno dunu mae higama. Be dia da: i amoma asigi hou amo defele dia na: iyadoma asigima. Na da dilia Hina Gode.
‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
19 Na sema nabawane hamoma. Lai gebo hisu hisu amo mano lama: ne mae gilisima. Hawa: aduna ifabi afae ganodini mae sagama. Abula aduna amoga da: i salasu mae nodomema.
‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.

Bai e da ea udigili hawa: hamosu uda amola ea bidi hame lai. Be ela da se iasu ba: mu.
‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
21 Amo dunu da Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu hamoma: ne, sibi gawali amo Na Abula Diasu logo holeiga gaguli misa: ne sia: ma.
However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
22 Amasea, amoga gobele salasu dunu da ledo gala dodofesu hou amo dunu ea wadela: i hou fadegama: ne hamomu. Amasea Gode da ea wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofomu.
The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.

But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
26 Hu amo ganodini da maga: me dialebe, mae moma. Wadela: i fefedoasu hou mae hamoma!

‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
