Exodus 20
1 And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
Mungu alisema maneno yote haya:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa katika ardhi Misri, nje ya nyumba ya utumwa.
3 You shall have no other gods beside me.
Msiwe na miungu mingine ila mimi tu.
4 You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
Msijitengenezee sanamu za kuchonga kufananisha na kitu chochote kilichopo juu ya mbingu, chini ya ardhi, au ndani ya maji.
5 You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
Msipinde na kuabudu sanamu, mimi Yahweh Mungu wenu, ni Mungu mwenye wivu. Nitaadhibu uovu wa mabubu kwa kuleta adhabu juu ya kizazi, cha tatu hadi kizazi cha nne kwa wale wanao nichukia.
6 and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.
Ila nitaweka agano la uaminifu kwa maelfu watakao nipenda na kushika amri zangu.
7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
Usilitaje bure jina la Yahweh Mungu wako, sitkuwa na hatia kwa yeyote atakaye taja jina langu bure.
8 Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
Ikumbuke siku ya Sabato, na kunitengea.
9 Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work.
lazima ufanye kazi zako zote kwa siku sita.
10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.
Ila siku ya saba ni Sabato kwaajili ya Yahweh Mungu wako. Siku hiyo usifanye kazi yoyote, wewe, au mwana wako, au binti yako, au mtumishi wako wakiume, au mtumishi wako mwanamke, au ng'ombe zako, au mgeni aliye ndani ya malango yako.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
Kwa siku sita Yahweh aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vitu vyote vilivyomo, na siku ya saba alipumzika. Kwa hiyo Yahweh aliibariki siku ya Sabato na kuitenga.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.
Waheshimu baba na mama yako, ili uweze kuishi miaka mingi duniani Yahweh Mungu wako ametoa.
13 You shall not commit adultery.
Usiue.
14 You shall not steal.
Usifanye uasherati (usizini).
15 You shall not kill.
Usiibe kwa mtu yoyote.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Usishuhudie uongo dhidi ya jirani yako.
17 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.
Usitaman nyumba ya jirani yako; usitamani mke wa jirani yako, wala mtumishi wake wakiume, mtumishi wake mwanamke, ng'ombe wake, punda wake, au chochote cha jirani yako.
18 And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
Watu wote waliona radi na umeme, na kusikia sauti ya mbiu, na mlima ukitoa moshi. Watu walipoona hivo, walitetemeka na kusimama mbali.
19 and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.
Wakamwambia Musa, ongea na sisi, na tutakusikiliza; lakini usiruhusu Mungu kuongea nasi, ama tutakufa.
20 And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.
Musa akawaambia watu, “msiogope, Mungu alikuja kuwajaribu ili heshima yake iwe ndani yenu, kwa hiyo msitende dhambi.”
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.
hivyo watu walisimama mbali, na Musa alikaribia giza nene Mungu alipokuwa.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
Yahweh alimwambia Musa, “Ni lazima uwaambie hili Waisraeli: 'Wewe mwenyewe umeona niliongea na wewe kutoka mbinguni.
23 You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.
Misjitengenezee miungu mingine pamoja nami, miungu ya fedha au miungu ya dhahabu.
24 You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.
Tengenezeni madhabahu ya udongo kwa ajili yangu, na lazima mtoe sadaka ya kuteketeza, sadaka ya ushirika, kondoo, na ng'ombe. kila sehemu ntakapotaka jina langu liheshimiwe, nitakuja kwenu na kuwabariki.
25 And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.
Kama mtatengeneza madhabahu ya mawe, msijenge na mawe yaiyokatika, na kama mtatumia vyombo vyenu juu yake, mtaweka unajisi.
26 You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
msije juu ya madhabahu yangu kwa hatua zenu; hii ni ili msioneshe sehemu zenu za siri.”
