Exodus 20
1 Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
Eka Nyasaye nowuoyo kowacho niya,
2 “I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
“An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane ogolou e piny Misri, ka uwuok e piny mane unie wasumbini.
3 [So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
“Kik ubed gi nyiseche mamoko e nyima.
4 You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
Kik ulos nyasaye milamo maket gi kido moro amora e polo malo kata e piny mwalo, kata e bwo pi.
5 You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
Kik ukulrunegi piny; bende kik ulamgi; nimar An, Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, An Nyasaye ma janyiego, kendo akumo nyithindo nikech richo mar wuonegi chakre tiengʼ mar adek nyaka tiengʼ mar angʼwen mar jogo mamon koda,
6 But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
to anyiso hera ni tienge gana gi gana mar jogo mohera kendo morito chikena.
7 Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
Kik uti gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e yo ma ok owinjore, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ok nongʼwon ne ngʼato angʼata matiyo gi nyinge e yo marach.
8 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
Rituru chiengʼ Sabato kendo ukete obed maler.
9 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Tiuru kuom ndalo auchiel kendo uti tijeu duto,
10 but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
to chiengʼ mar abiriyo en Sabato ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Chiengʼno ok unutim tich moro amora, bed ni un kata yawuotu kata nyiu kata jotiju machwo kata jotiju mamon kata jambu kata jodak manie dieru.
11 I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
Nimar kuom ndalo auchiel Jehova Nyasaye nochweyo polo gi piny, gi nembe kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie igi, to noyweyo chiengʼ mar abiriyo. Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nogwedho chiengʼ Sabato mi okete maler.
12 Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
Luor wuonu gi minu mondo udagi amingʼa e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou.
13 Do not murder anyone.
Kik ineki.
14 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
Kik iterri.
15 Do not steal anything.
Kik ikwal.
16 Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
Kik ihang wach ne wadu.
17 Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
Kik igomb od wadu. Kik igomb chi wadu kata jatije ma wuowi kata jatije ma nyako, kata rwadhe kata pundane kata gire moro amora.”
18 When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
Kane oganda oneno mil polo gi mor polo kendo owinjo ywak turumbete mi gineno ka got otimo iro, luoro nomakogi. Negisudo gichien
19 and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
mi giwachone Musa niya, “Wuo kodwa in iwuon to wabiro winjo. Kik iwe Nyasaye wuo kodwa nono to wabiro tho.”
20 Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
Musa nowacho ne oganda niya, “Kik ubed maluor. Nyasaye osebiro mondo otemu mondo omi usik kuluore kendo mondo kik utim richo.”
21 Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
Ogandano nochungʼ gichien ka Musa to ne ochomo bor polo kama Nyasaye ne nitie.
22 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Nyis jo-Israel kama: ‘Useneno un uwegi ni asewuoyo kodu ka aa e polo.
Kik ulos nyiseche manono mondo opiem koda; bende kik ulos nyiseche mag kido mag fedha kata dhahabu.
24 Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
“‘Losnauru kendo mar misango mochwe gi lowo kendo timieuru misenginiu miwangʼo pep kod mag lalruok gi rombeu gi dieu kod dhou. Kinde moro amora ma amiyo nyinga oyudo duongʼ, to anabi iru mi agwedhu.
25 If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
Ka ulosona kendo mar misango mar kite, to kik ugere gi kite mopa, nimar ubiro miyo kendono bedo mogak ka utiyoe gi gige payo kite.
26 Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
Kendo kik udhi e kendona mar misango ka uwuotho e kuonde motingʼore ma iidhogo malo, dipo ka dugu onenorene.’
