Exodus 20
1 And God said all these words:
Chineke kwuru okwu ndị a niile sị:
2 I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
“Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼIjipt, bụ ala nke ibu ohu.
3 You are to have no other gods but me.
“Ị gaghị enwe chi ọzọ tinyere m.
4 You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
Gị emerela onwe gị arụsị a pịrị apị, nʼoyiyi nke ụdị ọbụla nke yiri ihe dị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nke yiri ihe dị nʼụwa, nʼokpuru ya maọbụ nʼime mmiri, nʼokpuru ụwa.
5 You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
Gị akpọla isiala nye ha, efekwala ha ofufe, nʼihi na Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, abụ m Chineke ekworo. Onye na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ahụhụ, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị mụrụ ha, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ, nke ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị.
6 And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
Ma na egosi ịhụnanya nye puku ọgbọ niile nke ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, bụ ndị na-edebe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu.
7 You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
Gị ejikwala aha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị eme ihe efu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị agụ onye ji aha ya eme ihe efu dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị.
8 Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
Cheta ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ.
9 On six days do all your work:
Nʼime ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eje ozi gị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ha ka ị ga-arụzu ọrụ gị niile.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
Ma ụbọchị nke asaa bụ ụbọchị izuike nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ị gaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, gị onwe gị, nwa gị nwoke na nwa gị nwanyị, onye ọrụ gị nwoke, onye ọrụ gị nwanyị, maọbụ anụ ụlọ gị ọbụla, ọbụladị onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị.
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime ụbọchị isii ka Onyenwe anyị kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha. O zuru ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị gọziri ụbọchị nke asaa doo ya nsọ, ka ọ bụrụ ụbọchị izuike.
12 Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị, dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu, ka ụbọchị ndụ gị dị ogologo nʼala ahụ nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
13 Do not put anyone to death without cause.
Gị egbula mmadụ.
14 Do not be false to the married relation.
Gị akwala iko.
15 Do not take the property of another.
Gị ezula ohi.
16 Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
Agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
17 Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
Gị enwela anya ukwu nʼebe ụlọ onye agbataobi gị dị. Gị enwekwala anya ukwu nʼebe nwunye onye agbataobi gị dị, maọbụ ohu ya nwoke maọbụ ohu ya nwanyị, ehi ya maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼihe ọbụla nke onye agbataobi gị nwere dị.”
18 And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
Mgbe ndị Izrel hụrụ egbe eluigwe, na amụma ọkụ, na opi ike, hụkwa ugwu ahụ ka o jupụtakwara nʼanwụrụ ọkụ, ha mara jijiji nʼihi egwu. Ha guzoro nʼebe dị anya,
19 And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
sị Mosis, “Biko ka gị onwe gị gwa anyị okwu, anyị ga-anụ ma ka Chineke gharakwa ịgwa anyị okwu, ma ọ bụghị ya, anyị ga-anwụ.”
20 And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
Mosis sịrị ndị Izrel, “Unu atụkwala ụjọ, nʼihi na Chineke bịara ịnwale unu ime ka unu na-atụ ya egwu mgbe ọbụla ka unu ghara imehie megide ya.”
21 And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
Nʼihi nke a, mmadụ niile guzoro nʼebe dị anya site nʼugwu ahụ. Ma Mosis bara nʼime igwe ojii ahụ, ebe Chineke nʼonwe ya nọ.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị, ‘Unu onwe unu ahụla na m si nʼeluigwe gwa unu okwu.
23 Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
Unu emerela onwe unu chi ọzọ tinyere m, chi ọlaọcha maọbụ chi ọlaedo. Unu emerela onwe unu ha.
24 Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
“‘Ebe ịchụ aja unu ga-ewuru m ga-abụ nke unu ji naanị aja wuo. Nʼebe ahụ ka unu ga-achụrụ m aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo. Unu ga-ejikwa igwe ewu na atụrụ, na ehi chụọrọ m aja. Unu ga-ewuru m ebe ịchụ aja naanị ebe ọbụla m mere ka aha m bụrụ ihe a na-asọpụrụ, nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-abịa gọzie unu.
25 And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
Ọ bụrụ na unu ewuo ebe ịchụ aja nkume, unu ejikwala nkume a wara awa, nʼihi na unu ga-eme ka ọ ghara ịdị nsọ ma ọ bụrụ na unu ejiri ngwa ọrụ wagharịa nkume ya.
26 And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
Unu ejila ihe nrigo gbagoro nʼebe ịchụ aja m, ka a ghara ikpughe ọtọ unu nʼelu ya.’
