Exodus 20
1 Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
Na God El kaskas, ac pa inge kas nukewa El tuh fahk:
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].
“Nga LEUM GOD, su kowos alu nu se, su uskowosme liki facl Egypt, acn se ma kowos tuh mwet kohs we.
3 [So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
“Nik kom eis siena god sayuk.
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.
“Nik kom oru nu sum kutena ma sruloala, ku kutena luman ma oan in kusrao lucng, ku ma oan in faclu ten, ku ma oan in kof ye faclu.
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).
Nik kom sifacna epasr nu selos, ku orekma nu selos; tuh nga LEUM GOD lom, sie God lemta; lahi ma koluk lun papa tuma nu fin tulik natu, nu ke fwil se aktolu ac akakosr selos su srungayu.
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.)
A oru kulang nu sin siu selos su lungse nga ac liyaung ma sap luk.
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].
Nik kom aklusrongtenye Inen LEUM GOD lom, tuh LEUM GOD El tia mu wangin mwatan el su aklusrongtenye Inel.
8 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
Esamya len Sabbath, in akmutalye.
9 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Len onkosr kom in orekma, ac oru orekma lom nukewa.
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.
A len se akitkosr Sabbath lun LEUM GOD lom. Nik kom oru kutena orekma — kom, ku wen nutum, ku acn nutum, ku mwet mukul kulansap lom, ku mwet mutan kulansap lom, ku kosro nutum, ku mwetsac lom su muta in kalkal lom.
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].
Tuh in len onkosr LEUM GOD El orala kusrao, ac faclu, ac meoa, ac ma nukewa loac, a mongla len se akitkosr, tuh ouinge LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye len Sabbath, ac akmutalye.
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.
Sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom, tuh len lom in pus fin facl se su LEUM GOD lom El sot nu sum.
13 Do not murder anyone.
Nik kom akmas.
14 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
Nik kom kosro.
15 Do not steal anything.
Nik kom pisrapasr.
16 Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
Nik kom kaskas kikiap lain mwet tulan lom.
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.”
Nik kom rapkui lohm sin mwet tulan lom. Nik kom rapkui mutan kien mwet tulan lom, ku mwet mukul kulansap lal, ku mwet mutan kulansap lal, ku cow natul, ku ass natul, ku kutena ma lun mwet tulan lom.”
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,
Ke mwet uh elos lohng pulahl ac pusren mwe ukuk, ac liye sarom, ac ke eol uh fosryak, elos rarrar ke sangeng, ac tu yen loessula.
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.”
Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kom fin kaskas nu sesr, kut ac porongo; tusruktu God Elan tia kaskas nu sesr, sahp kut ac misa.”
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.”
Ac Moses El fahk nu selos, “Nimet sangeng. God El tuku na in tuh srike kowos, ac oru in yokelik akfulat lowos nu sel, pwanang kowos in tia orekma koluk.”
21 Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
Tusruktu mwet uh srakna tu loessula, ac Moses mukena kalukyang nu ke pukunyeng lohsr matoltol uh, yen God El oasr we.
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.
LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses in fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Kowos liye ke nga, LEUM GOD, kaskas nu suwos inkusrao me.
Nimet oru kutena kain god ke silver ku gold tuh kowos in alu nu kac in oana ke kowos alu nu sik.
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.
Oru sie loang ke fohkon acn uh nu sik, ac kisakin sheep ac cow nutuwos fac tuh in mwe kisa firir ac in mwe kisa in akinsewowo. In acn nukewa ma nga srela nu suwos in alu nu sik we, nga ac fah tuku nu yuruwos ac akinsewowoye kowos.
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.
Kowos fin oru sie loang eot nu sik, nimet sang eot tufahlla oru, mweyen ke kowos orekmakin chisel in taflela eot uh, kowos akkolukyela.
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.’”
Nimet musai nu sik sie loang ma oasr nien fan nu kac. Kowos fin oru, kowos ac sifacna fahkak koflufol lowos ke kowos ac fan kac.
