< Exodus 34 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, “Wapụta mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka nke mbụ, aga m edekwasị nʼelu ha okwu niile nke dị nʼelu mbadamba nkume ndị mbụ ahụ, bụ nke ị tụpịasịrị.
2 Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
Jikere nʼụtụtụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị ka i chee onwe gị nʼihu m nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
3 No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
Onye ọbụla esokwala gị, ma ọ bụkwanụ nọdụ nso ugwu ahụ. Ekwekwala ka igwe ehi maọbụ igwe atụrụ kpaa nri nso nso ugwu ahụ.”
4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
Mosis biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ, waa mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka ndị nke mbụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya. Ọ jikwa nkume abụọ ahụ nʼaka ya.
5 And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime ogidi igwe ojii, guzo nʼihu Mosis, kwupụta aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
6 Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
O si nʼihu Mosis gafee na-ekwu na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ọmịiko na onye amara, onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ, na onye babigara ụba oke nʼịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi.
7 maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
Onye na-egosi ịhụnanya ya nye imerime puku, ma na-agbaghara ajọ omume na nnupu isi, na mmehie. Ma ọ dịghị ahapụ ka onye ikpe mara laa na-anataghị ahụhụ, ọ na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ha ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nna nna ha ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ.”
8 Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
Otu mgbe ahụ, Mosis hulatara kpọọ isiala,
9 “O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, Onyenwe m, ka Onyenwe m, biko soro anyị gaa. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, gbaghara anyị ajọ omume anyị, na mmehie anyị niile, ka ị nabatakwa anyị dịka ndị nke gị.”
10 And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ onwe m na gị na-agba ndụ. Nʼihu ndị gị niile, aga m arụ oke ọrụ ịtụnanya dị ukwu, ụdị nke a na-emetụbeghị mbụ nʼụwa, maọbụ na mba ọ bụla. Ndị niile unu bi nʼetiti ha ga-ahụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ọrụ ahụ dị oke egwu nke m ga-arụ nʼihi unu.
11 Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Debe ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu taa. Aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ ndị Amọrait, ndị Kenan, ndị Het, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus.
12 Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ unu na-aba nʼime ya ghara ịgba ndụ. Ka ha ghara ị bụ ihe ịma nʼọnya nʼetiti unu.
13 Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
Kama, tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha jiri mere chi ha.
14 For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Unu efela chi ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, onye aha ya bụ Ekworo, bụ Chineke na-ekwo ekworo.
15 Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
“Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ ghara ịgba ndụ, nʼihi na mgbe ha na-akwaso chi ha iko, na-achụkwa aja nye chi ha, ha ga-akpọ unu oku nri, mgbe ahụ, unu ga-eri site nʼihe aja ha.
16 And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
Mgbe unu lụtara ụfọdụ ndị inyom ha dịka nwunye nye ụmụ unu ndị ikom, ndị inyom ndị a na-akwaso chi ha iko, ga-eme ka ụmụ unu ndị ikom soro ha nʼomume dị otu a.
17 You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
“Unu akpụla chi ọbụla.
18 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
“Na-emenụ mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Rienụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa, dịka m nyere nʼiwu na a ga-eme nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ a họpụtara, nʼọnwa Abib, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼọnwa ahụ ka unu si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
19 The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
“Nwa nwoke ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke m, tinyere ụmụ anụ ụlọ, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ewu.
20 You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
E nwere ike ịgbapụta nwa oke ịnyịnya ibu site nʼiwere nwa atụrụ dochie nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ bụrụ na i kpebie na ị gaghị agbapụta ya, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-agbaji olu ya. Ma ụmụ unu ndị ikom niile ka a ga-agbapụta. “O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-abịa guzo m nʼihu na-ejighị onyinye.
21 Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
“Nʼoge ịkụ ihe nʼubi na nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, rụọnụ ọrụ naanị ụbọchị isii. Zukwanụ ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
22 And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
“Mee Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa, bụ nke ị ga-eji mkpụrụ mbụ nke ọka wiiti mee, na Mmemme Nchịkọta Ihe nʼọgwụgwụ afọ ọbụla.
23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Ugboro atọ nʼafọ ka ndị ikom unu niile ga-abịa chee onwe ha nʼihu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nke Izrel.
24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
Nʼihi na aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ mba dị iche iche. Meekwa ka ala unu saa mbara. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-enwe anya ukwu nʼebe ala unu dị, mgbe unu na-aga iche onwe unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, ugbo atọ nʼafọ.
25 Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
“Unu etinyekwala ihe ọbụla nke nwere ihe na-eko achịcha nʼime ya, mgbe unu na-achụ ọbara nke aja nye m. Unu ahapụkwala aja sitere na Mmemme Ngabiga ka ọ nọọ ruo ụtụtụ.
26 Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
“Wetanụ mkpụrụ mbụ niile nke ala ubi unu, bụ ndị kachasị mma nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu. “Unu esikwala nwa ewu nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.”
27 The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Dee iwu ndị a m nyere gị, nʼihi na dịka okwu ndị a si dị, ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị na ụmụ Izrel gbara si dị.”
28 So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Mosis na Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Ma nʼoge ndị a niile o righị nri ọbụla. Ọ ṅụkwaghị ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla. O dere na mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ okwu niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, nke bụ iwu iri ahụ.
29 And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
Mgbe Mosis ji mbadamba nkume abụọ nke ihe ama ahụ na-arịdata site nʼelu ugwu ahụ, ọ mataghị na ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke, nʼihi ọnọdụ nke ọ nọrọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
30 Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
Nʼihi mgbuke ahụ ihu Mosis na-egbuke, ụjọ ekweghị Erọn na ụmụ Izrel bịaruo ya nso.
31 But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
Ma Mosis kpọrọ ha ka ha bịakwute ya. Nʼihi ya, Erọn na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel bịara ka ha na Mosis kparịtaa ụka.
32 And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
Mgbe e mesịrị, ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere ya. O nyekwara ha iwu ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị.
33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Mgbe Mosis gwachara ha okwu, o weere akwa kpuchie ihu ya.
34 But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
Ma mgbe ọbụla ọ na-abanye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka ha kparịtaa ụka nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, ọ na-ekepụ akwa ahụ o ji kpuchie ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ nọchara pụta. Mgbe ọ pụtara, ọ na-agwa ndị Izrel ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
35 and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
Ha hụkwara na ihu ya na akpụkpọ ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke. Emesịa, Mosis na-ekpuchikwa ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-abanye nʼime ka ya na Onyenwe anyị kparịta ụka.
