Exodus 20
1 And Elohim spake all these words, saying,
Chineke kwuru okwu ndị a niile sị:
2 I am YHWH thy Elohim, which have 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 have no other elohim before me.
“Ị gaghị enwe chi ọzọ tinyere m.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I YHWH thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation 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 mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
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 YHWH thy Elohim in vain; for YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
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 keep it holy.
Cheta ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy 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 the Sabbath of YHWH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, 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 six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHWH 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 days may be long upon the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth 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.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
Gị egbula mmadụ.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Gị akwala iko.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
Gị ezula ohi.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
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 saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not Elohim speak with us, 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 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for Elohim is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 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 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where Elohim 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 YHWH said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with 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 Ye shall not make with me elohim of silver, neither shall ye make unto you elohim of gold.
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 unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless 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 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
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 go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
