Exodus 34

1 The Lord told Moses, “Cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them again the same words that were on the first tablets—the ones you broke.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tā maʻau ʻae maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki maka: pea te u tohi ki he ongo maka ni, ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki maka, ʻaia naʻa ke maumauʻi.

2 Get ready in the morning, and then come up Mount Sinai. Stand before me there on the mountain top.

Pea ke teu ki he ʻapongipongi, pea ke ʻalu hake ʻapongipongi ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, pea ke fakahā koe kiate au ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga.

3 Nobody else can come up with you—I don't want to see anyone anywhere on the mountain, and no flocks or herds should graze at the foot of the mountain.”

Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake mo koe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pea ʻoua naʻa hā mai ha tangata ʻi he moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae fanga sipi, pe ko e fanga manu lalahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe moʻunga ko ia.”

4 So Moses cut out two stone tablets like the previous ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning as the Lord had ordered him, taking with him the two stone tablets.

Pea naʻa ne tā ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki; pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻi hono nima ʻae ongo maka lafalafa.

5 The Lord descended in a cloud, stood there with him, and called out the name “Yahweh.”

Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao, pea tutuʻu ʻi ai mo ia, ʻo ne fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova.

6 The Lord passed in front of him, calling out, “Yahweh! Yahweh! I am the God of grace and mercy! I am slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and always faithful.

Pea naʻe hāʻele ange ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne folofola, “Ko Sihova, Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa, mo ʻofa mataʻatā, ʻoku kātaki fuoloa, pea mohu ʻi he angalelei mo e moʻoni.

7 I go on showing my trustworthy love to thousands, forgiving guilt, rebellion, and sin. But I will not leave the guilty unpunished—the impact of sin will affect not only the parents, but also their children and grandchildren, up until the third and fourth generation.”

‌ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe, ʻi he fakamolemole ʻae hia, mo e talangataʻa, mo e angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae halaia; ʻoku ʻaʻahi ʻaki ki he fānau ʻae hia ʻae mātuʻa, pea ki he hako ʻo ʻenau fānau, ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata.”

8 Moses quickly bowed down to the ground, and worshiped.

Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Mōsese, ke punou hifo hono ʻulu ki he kelekele, pea hū.

9 He said, “Lord, if it's true that you're happy with me, please accompany us. Admittedly this is a rebellious people, but please forgive our guilt and sin. Accept us as specially belonging to you.”

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, kapau kuo u maʻu ni ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻalu ʻa hoku ʻEiki, mo kimautolu: he ko e kakai kia kekeva; pea fakamolemole ʻe mau hia mo e mau angahala, mo ke fili ʻakimautolu ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻou.”

10 The Lord said, “Look, I'm making an agreement with you. Right in front of all of you I will do miracles that have never been done before—not among anyone anywhere on earth. Everyone here and those around will see the Lord at work, for what I'm going to do for you will be incredible.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fai ʻae fuakava: te u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hano tatau, ʻi ha potu ʻe taha ʻo māmani, pe ʻi ha puleʻanga: pea ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke nofo ki ai te nau mamata ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova: he ko e meʻa fakamanavahē ia ʻaia te u fai kiate koe.

11 But you must carefully follow what I tell you to do today. Pay attention! I'm going to drive out ahead of you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Ke ke tokanga koe ki he meʻa ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku ou kapusi mei ho ʻao ʻae kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi.

12 Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land where you are going. Otherwise they will become a trap for you.

Ke ke vakai kiate koe, telia naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai, telia naʻa hoko ia ko e tauhele ʻi loto ʻiate koe.

13 For you must tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles,

Ka te mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea laiki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā ke hinga ʻenau ngaahi ʻakau tapu:

14 because you must not worship any other gods than the Lord. His name stands for being exclusive, because he is a God who demands an exclusive relationship.

‌ʻE ʻikai te ke lotu koe ki ha ʻotua kehe: he ko Sihova, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Fuaʻa, ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia.

15 Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land, for when they prostitute themselves by worshiping and sacrificing to their gods, they will invite you to join them, and you will eat from their pagan sacrifices.

Telia naʻa mou fai ʻae fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, pea nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea fai ʻae feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea ui [koe ʻe ha tokotaha], pea ke kai ʻi heʻene feilaulau;

16 When you have their daughters marry your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons worship their gods in the same way.

pe ke fili ʻe koe ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki ho ngaahi foha; pea ʻalu ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻonau fakakau ho ngaahi foha ke nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.

17 Don't make any idols for yourselves.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi moʻou ha ʻotua ukamea kuo haka.

18 Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, as I ordered you to do. You are to do this at the specified time in the month of Abib, because that was the month when you left Egypt.

“Pea te ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani. Ke ke kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate koe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻApipi: he naʻa ke haʻu mei ʻIsipite ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.

19 Every firstborn is mine. That includes all the firstborn males of your livestock from your cattle herds, and flocks.

Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia; mo e ʻuluaki manu tangata ʻi hoʻo fanga manu, pe ko ha pulu ia, pe ko ha sipi.

20 You can redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you don't, you must break its neck. All your firstborn sons must be redeemed. No one is to come before me without an offering.

Ka ko e ʻuluaki ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi ke ke huhuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae lami; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fesiʻi hono kia. Ko e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi foha te ke huhuʻi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fakahā mola pe ha tokotaha ʻi hoku ʻao.

21 You shall work for six days, but you shall rest on the seventh day. Even during the times of sowing and harvest you shall rest.

“Te ke ngāue ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono, ka ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho te ke mālōlō: ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe tō taʻu, mo e ututaʻu ke ke mālōlō.

22 Observe the Festival of Weeks when you offer the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Harvest Festival at the end of the agricultural year.

“Pea te ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, mo e ʻuluaki fua ʻoe tuʻusi ʻoe uite, mo e kātoanga ʻoe ututaʻu ʻi he fakaʻosi taʻu.

23 Three times every year all your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

“ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻomou fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

24 I will drive out the nations ahead of you and expand your borders, and no one will come and take your land when you go three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.

He te u kapusi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei ho ʻao, pea te u fakalahi atu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne holi ki ho fonua, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu hake, ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ke fakahā koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

25 Don't offer bread made with yeast when you present a sacrifice to me, don't keep any sacrifice from the Passover Feast until the morning.

“ʻOua naʻa ke ʻatu ʻae toto ʻo ʻeku feilaulau mo e lēvani: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ki he ʻapongipongi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.

26 When you harvest your crops, bring the firstfruits to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in milk from its mother.”

“Ko e polopolo ʻoe ngaahi ʻuluaki fua ʻo ho fonua ke ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua. “ʻOua naʻa ke haka ʻae ʻuhiki sipi pe kosi ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻo ʻene faʻē.”

27 Then the Lord told Moses, “Write down these words, because these are the basis for the agreement I have made with you and with Israel.”

Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ni: he kuo u fai ʻae fuakava kiate koe mo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi lea ni.

28 Moses spent forty days and forty nights there with the Lord without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote down on the tablets the words of the agreement, the Ten Commandments.

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ia mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kai mā, pe inu ha vai. Pea naʻa ne tohi ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ko e fekau ʻe hongofulu.

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two tablets of the Law, he didn't realize that his face was shining brightly because he had been speaking with the Lord.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga ko Sainai, mo e maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Mōsese ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata lolotonga ʻene talanoa mo ia.

30 When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses with his face shining so brightly they were frightened to approach him.

Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻElone, pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese, vakai, naʻe ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata: pea naʻa nau manavahē ke haʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia.

31 But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the community leaders went over to him, and he talked with them.

Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu; pea ko ʻElone mo e kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai naʻa nau foki mai kiate ia: pea naʻe talanoa ʻa Mōsese mo kinautolu.

32 Afterwards all the Israelites came over and he gave them all the Lord's instructions he'd received on Mount Sinai.

Pea hili ia, naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa ne tala ʻo fekau kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.

33 After Moses finished talking with them, he put a veil over his face.

Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata, kaeʻoua ke hili ʻene talanoa mo kinautolu.

34 However, whenever Moses went in to talk with the Lord, he would take off the veil until he came out again. Then he would tell the Israelites the Lord's instructions,

Ka ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke lea kiate ia, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pūlou, kaeʻoua ke hū kituʻa. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ia, ʻo ne tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate ia ke fai.

35 and the Israelites would see his face shining brightly. So he would put the veil over his face until the next time he went to talk with the Lord.

Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he mata ʻo Mōsese, ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻoe mata ʻo Mōsese: pea naʻe toe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata kaeʻoua ke toe hū ia ke alea mo ia.
