< Exodus 20 >
1 Then God spake all these wordes, saying,
Chineke kwuru okwu ndị a niile sị:
2 I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼIjipt, bụ ala nke ibu ohu.
3 Thou shalt haue none other Gods before me.
“Ị gaghị enwe chi ọzọ tinyere m.
4 Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neither any similitude of things that are in heauen aboue, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters vnder 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 Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neither serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third generation and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:
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 shewing mercie vnto thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my commandemets.
Ma na egosi ịhụnanya nye puku ọgbọ niile nke ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, bụ ndị na-edebe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu.
7 Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not hold him guiltles that taketh his Name in vayne.
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 Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.
Cheta ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ.
9 Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke,
Nʼime ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eje ozi gị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ha ka ị ga-arụzu ọrụ gị niile.
10 But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
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 sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
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 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
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.
14 Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
Gị akwala iko.
15 Thou shalt not steale.
Gị ezula ohi.
16 Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour.
Agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
17 Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his mayde, nor his oxe, nor his asse, neyther any thing that is thy neighbours.
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 sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare off,
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 sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we die.
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 Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not.
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 So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes 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 sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị, ‘Unu onwe unu ahụla na m si nʼeluigwe gwa unu okwu.
23 Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.
Unu emerela onwe unu chi ọzọ tinyere m, chi ọlaọcha maọbụ chi ọlaedo. Unu emerela onwe unu ha.
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.
“‘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 But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them.
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 Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
