< Exodus 20 >

1 And he spoke God all the words these saying.
Nake Ngai akĩaria ciugo ici ciothe, akiuga atĩrĩ:
2 (I *L(p)*) [am] Yahweh (God your *L(p)*) who I brought out you from [the] land of Egypt (from a house of *L(p)*) (slaves. *L(b+p)*)
“Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.
3 Not it will be[long] (to you gods other *L(p)*) on (face my. *L(p)*)
“Ndũkanagĩe na ngai ingĩ tiga niĩ.
4 Not you must make (for yourself *L(p)*) an image - and any (form *L(p)*) (which *L(b+p)*) [is] in the heavens - (above *L(p)*) (and which *L(b+p)*) ([is] on the earth beneath and which [is] in the waters - from under to the earth. *L(p)*)
“Ndũkanethondekere mũhianano mũicũhie wa mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ kana gũkũ thĩ, kana kĩrĩ maaĩ-inĩ marĩa marĩ mũhuro wa thĩ.
5 Not (you must bow down to them *L(p)*) and not (you must be enticed to serve them *L(p)*) for I Yahweh God your [am] a God jealous visiting iniquity of fathers on children on a third generation and on a fourth generation (of [those who] hate me. *L(p)*)
Ndũkanacinamĩrĩre kana ũcihooe, nĩgũkorwo niĩ, Jehova Ngai waku, ndĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru, herithagia ciana nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana rwa andũ arĩa maathũire,
6 (And doing covenant loyalty to thousands *L(p)*) to [those who] love me and to [those who] keep commandments my.
no ngonania wendo kũrĩ njiarwa ngiri na ngiri cia andũ arĩa manyendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani makwa.
7 Not you must take [the] name of Yahweh God your for emptiness for not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [the one] who he will take name his for emptiness.
“Ndũkanagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku na itherũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatua atĩ mũndũ ndehĩtie ũrĩa ũgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake na itherũ.
8 (Remember *L(p)*) ([the] day of the sabbath to set apart as holy it. *L(p)*)
“Ririkanaga mũthenya wa Thabatũ ũwamũrage.
9 (Six days you will labor and you will do *L(p)*) all (work your. *L(p)*)
Rutaga wĩra waku wothe mĩthenya ĩtandatũ,
10 And [the] day (seventh [is] a sabbath - *L(p)*) to Yahweh (God your *L(p)*) not (you must do *L(p)*) any (work *L(p)*) you - and son your (and daughter your [male] servant your and female servant your and livestock your and sojourner your who [is] in gates your. *L(p)*)
no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova Ngai waku. Mũthenya ũcio ndũkanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ, wee mwene, kana mũrũ-guo, kana mwarĩ-guo, kana ndungata yaku ya mũndũ mũrũme, kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ũhiũ waku, kana mũgeni ũrĩ gwaku mũciĩ.
11 For six days he made Yahweh the heavens and the earth the sea and all that [is] in them and he rested on the day seventh there-fore he blessed Yahweh [the] day of the sabbath and he set apart as holy it.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ombire igũrũ na thĩ, na iria rĩrĩa inene na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo, na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no akĩhurũka mũthenya wa mũgwanja. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrathima mũthenya ũcio wa Thabatũ, akĩwaamũra.
12 Honor father your and mother your so that they may be long! days your on the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
“Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa, nĩgeetha ũtũũre matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku egũkũhe.
13 (Not you must murder. *L(p)*)
“Ndũkanoragane.
14 (Not you must commit adultery. *L(p)*)
“Ndũkanatharanie.
15 (Not you must steal. *L(p)*)
“Ndũkanaiye.
16 Not you must testify against neighbor your testimony of falsehood.
“Ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo.
17 Not you must covet [the] house of neighbor your not you must covet [the] wife of neighbor your and [male] servant his and female servant his and ox his and donkey his and all that [belongs] to neighbor your.
“Ndũkanacumĩkĩre nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ndũkanacumĩkĩre mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ, kana ũcumĩkĩre ndungata yake ya mũndũ mũrũme kana ya mũndũ-wa-nja, kana ndegwa yake kana ndigiri yake, o na kana kĩndũ gĩothe gĩake.”
18 And all the people [were] seeing the thunder claps and the lightning and [the] sound of the ram's horn and the mountain smoking and it saw the people and they trembled and they stood from a distance.
Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire marurumĩ, na makĩona rũheni, na makĩigua coro ũkĩgamba, na makĩona kĩrĩma gĩgĩtoga ndogo, makĩinaina nĩ guoya. Magĩikara o haraaya,
19 And they said to Moses speak you with us so let us listen and may not he speak with us God lest we should die.
na makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Twarĩrie arĩ we, na nĩtũgũkũigua, no tiga kũreka twarĩrio nĩ Ngai, tũtigakue.”
20 And he said Moses to the people may not you be afraid for in order to put to [the] test you he has come God and in order that may be fear his on faces your to not you will sin.
Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Ngai okĩte kũmũgeria, nĩgeetha mũtũũre mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, mwagage kwĩhia.”
21 And it stood the people from a distance and Moses he drew near to the thick darkness where [was] there God.
Andũ acio magĩgĩikara o haraaya, nowe Musa agĩthengerera harĩa haarĩ nduma ndumanu, harĩa Ngai aarĩ.
22 And he said Yahweh to Moses thus you will say to [the] people of Israel you you have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũndũ ũyũ: ‘Nĩmweyonera inyuĩ ene atĩ ndaaria na inyuĩ ndĩ o igũrũ:
23 Not you must make! with me gods of silver and gods of gold not you must make for yourselves.
Mũtikanathondeke ngai ingĩ cia kũhooyagwo hamwe na niĩ; mũtikanethondekere ngai cia betha kana ngai cia thahabu.
24 An altar of earth you will make for me and you will sacrifice on it burnt offerings your and peace offerings your sheep your and cattle your in every place where I will cause to be remembered name my I will come to you and I will bless you.
“‘Njakĩrai kĩgongona gĩa tĩĩri, na mũrutĩre ngʼondu na mbũri na ngʼombe cianyu ho irĩ magongona manyu ma njino na ma ũiguano. Kũrĩa guothe ngaatũma rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtĩĩagwo, nĩndĩũkaga kũrĩ inyuĩ na ngamũrathima.
25 And if an altar of stones you will make for me not you must build them hewn [stone] for tool your you have wielded on it and you have profaned it.
Mũngĩnjakĩra kĩgongona kĩa mahiga, mũtigagĩake na mahiga marĩa maacũhie, nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgaatũmĩra kĩndũ gĩa gwacũhia nĩmũgagĩthaahia.
26 And not you must go up on steps to altar my that not it will be uncovered nakedness your on it.
Mũtikanahaice kĩgongona gĩakwa na ngathĩ, nĩguo njaga yanyu ndĩkanonekanĩre ho.’
