Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Awo Katonda n’ayogera ebigambo bino, n’agamba nti:
2 "I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu Misiri, mu nsi gye mwafuulibwa abaddu.
3 Do not have other gods before me.
“Tobeeranga na bakatonda balala wabula Nze nzekka.
4 "Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Teweekoleranga kintu kyonna ekyole ekifaanana n’ekintu kyonna ekiri waggulu mu ggulu, oba wansi ku nsi, oba ekiri mu mazzi agali wansi w’ensi.
5 you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
Tobivuunamiranga so tobisinzanga. Kubanga, nze Mukama Katonda wo ndi Katonda wa buggya; mbonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakitaabwe n’ebya bajjajjaabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna ogw’abo abankyawa.
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Naye abo enkumi n’enkumi abanjagala era abakwata amateeka gange, mbalaga okwagala kwange okutaggwaawo.
7 "Do not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Tokozesanga linnya lya Mukama Katonda wo ng’olayira ebitaliimu nsa; kubanga Mukama talirema kumusalira musango ne gumusinga omuntu oyo alayirira obwereere erinnya lye.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti lujjukirenga era olutukuzenga.
9 Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
Kolanga emirimu gyo, ofaabiine mu nnaku omukaaga,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
naye olunaku olw’omusanvu ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Katonda wo. Ku lunaku olwo tokolerangako mulimu gwonna; ggwe, wadde mutabani wo, wadde muwala wo, wadde omuweereza wo omusajja, oba omuweereza wo omukazi, wadde ensolo zo, wadde omugenyi ali omumwo.
11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
Kubanga mu nnaku omukaaga Mukama Katonda mwe yakolera eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja, ne byonna ebibirimu, n’awummulira ku lunaku olw’omusanvu. Mukama kyeyava awa omukisa olunaku olwa Ssabbiiti n’alutukuza.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.
Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa, olyoke owangaale mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
13 "Do not commit adultery.
Tottanga.
14 "Do not murder.
Toyendanga.
15 "Do not steal.
Tobbanga.
16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Towaayirizanga muntu munno.
17 "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Teweegombanga nnyumba ya muliraanwa wo. Teweegombanga mukazi wa muliraanwa wo, newaakubadde omuweereza we omusajja, newaakubadde omuweereza we omukazi, wadde ente ye, oba endogoyi ye, oba ekintu kyonna ekya muntu munno.”
18 And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
Awo abantu bwe baalaba okumyansa kw’eraddu, ne bawulira n’okubwatuka kw’eggulu awamu n’eddoboozi ly’akagombe, ne balaba n’olusozi nga lunyooka ne bakankana nga batidde nnyo. Ne bayimirira walako,
19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
ne bagamba Musa nti, “Ggwe yogera naffe, tujja kubiwuliriza. Naye Katonda aleme kwogera naffe tuleme okufa.”
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Temutya, kubanga Katonda azze kubagezesa, mumutyenga bulijjo, mulyoke muleme okwonoona.”
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Abantu ne basigala nga bayimiridde walako, naye Musa n’asembera mu kizikiza ekikwafu Katonda mwe yali.
22 Jehovah said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Bw’oti bw’oba otegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mmwe bennyini mwerabiddeko nga njogera nammwe nga nsinziira mu ggulu.
23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Temwekoleranga bakatonda balala wendi; temwekoleranga bakatonda ba ffeeza oba bakatonda ba zaabu.
24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
“‘Munkolere ekyoto eky’ettaka, muweereyo okwo ssaddaaka zammwe ezookebwa, n’essaddaaka olw’emirembe, ey’endiga zo n’ente zo. Mu buli kifo mwe nnaaleeteranga erinnya lyange okuweebwa ekitiibwa, nnajjanga ne mbaweera omwo omukisa.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
Bwe munzimbiranga ekyoto eky’amayinja, temukizimbisanga mayinja mayooyoote, kubanga ekyuma bwe kirigakoonako kirigafuula agatasaanira kyoto kyange.
26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
Ekyoto kyange temukizimbangako madaala, muleme okukiweebuula nga mulinnya amadaala.’”
