Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula mawu onse awa nati:
2 "I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa ku Igupto, mʼdziko la ukapolo.
3 Do not have other gods before me.
“Usakhale ndi milungu ina koma Ine ndekha.”
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:
“Usadzipangire chofanizira chinthu chilichonse chakumwamba kapena cha pa dziko lapansi kapena cha mʼmadzi a pansi pa dziko.
5 you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, YHWH 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,
Usazigwadire kapena kuzipembedza, pakuti Ine Yehova Mulungu wako, ndine Mulungu wansanje, wolanga ana chifukwa cha tchimo la makolo awo mpaka mʼbado wachitatu ndi wachinayi wa iwo amene amadana nane.
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Koma ndimaonetsa chikondi chosasinthika ku mibado miyandamiyanda ya anthu amene amandikonda, ndi kusunga malamulo anga.
7 "Do not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
“Usagwiritse ntchito molakwika dzina la Yehova Mulungu wako, pakuti Yehova adzamutenga kukhala wochimwa aliyense amene akugwiritsa ntchito dzina lakelo molakwika.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
“Uzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika.
9 Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
Uzigwira ntchito zako zonse masiku asanu ndi limodzi.
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH 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;
Koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, tsiku loperekedwa kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Tsiku limeneli musagwire ntchito iliyonse, inuyo kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena mwana wanu wamkazi, wantchito wanu wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wanu, ziweto zanu kapena mlendo amene akukhala mʼmudzi mwanu.
11 for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore YHWH blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
Pakuti Yehova anapanga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo mʼmasiku asanu ndi limodzi. Iye anapuma pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri. Kotero Yehova anadalitsa tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale loyera.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
“Lemekeza abambo ako ndi amayi ako kuti ukhale ndi moyo wautali mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wako akukupatsa.
13 "Do not commit adultery.
“Usaphe.
14 "Do not murder.
“Usachite chigololo.
15 "Do not steal.
“Usabe.
16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
“Usapereke umboni womunamizira mnzako.
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."
“Usasirire nyumba ya mnzako. Usasirire mkazi wa mnzako kapena wantchito wake wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wake, ngʼombe yake kapena bulu wake, kapena chilichonse cha mnzako.”
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.
Pamene anthu ankamva mabingu ndi kuona ziphaliwali ndi kumvanso lipenga ndi kuona utsi umene umafuka mʼphiri, ananjenjemera ndi mantha. Ndipo iwo anayima patali.
19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
Ndipo anati kwa Mose, “Iwe utiyankhule ndipo tidzamvera. Koma usalole kuti Mulungu atiyankhule, tingafe.”
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."
Koma Mose anati kwa anthuwo, “Musachite mantha. Mulungu wabwera kudzakuyesani kuti mukhale ndi mtima woopa Mulungu kuti musamuchimwire.”
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Anthu aja anayima patali koma Mose anayandikira mtambo wakuda kumene kunali Mulungu.
22 YHWH 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.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Awuze izi Aisraeli: ‘Inu mwaona nokha kuti Ine ndakuyankhulani kuchokera kumwamba.
23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Choncho musadzipangire milungu yasiliva kapena yagolide kuti muziyipembedza pamodzi ndi Ine.’”
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.
Mundimangire guwa ladothi ndipo muziperekapo nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, nkhosa, mbuzi ndi ngʼombe zanu. Pamalo paliponse pamene Ine ndidzakonza kuti muzinditamandirapo, ndidzabwera ndi kukudalitsani.
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.
Ngati mudzandimangira guwa lansembe lamiyala, musagwiritse ntchito miyala yosema, pakuti mudzalidetsa mukadzagwiritsa ntchito zida.
26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
Musamakwere pa makwerero popita pa guwa langa lansembe kuti mungaonetse maliseche anu.
