Thaama 20
1 Nake Ngai akĩaria ciugo ici ciothe, akiuga atĩrĩ:
And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
2 “Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Ndũkanagĩe na ngai ingĩ tiga niĩ.
You shall have no other gods beside me.
4 “Ndũkanethondekere mũhianano mũicũhie wa mũhianĩre wa kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ kana gũkũ thĩ, kana kĩrĩ maaĩ-inĩ marĩa marĩ mũhuro wa thĩ.
You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
5 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,
You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
6 no ngonania wendo kũrĩ njiarwa ngiri na ngiri cia andũ arĩa manyendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani makwa.
and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.
7 “Ndũkanagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku na itherũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatua atĩ mũndũ ndehĩtie ũrĩa ũgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake na itherũ.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
8 “Ririkanaga mũthenya wa Thabatũ ũwamũrage.
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 Rutaga wĩra waku wothe mĩthenya ĩtandatũ,
Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work.
10 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.
But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.
11 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.
For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
12 “Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa, nĩgeetha ũtũũre matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku egũkũhe.
Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.
13 “Ndũkanoragane.
You shall not commit adultery.
14 “Ndũkanatharanie.
You shall not steal.
15 “Ndũkanaiye.
You shall not kill.
16 “Ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “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.”
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.
18 Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire marurumĩ, na makĩona rũheni, na makĩigua coro ũkĩgamba, na makĩona kĩrĩma gĩgĩtoga ndogo, makĩinaina nĩ guoya. Magĩikara o haraaya,
And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
19 na makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Twarĩrie arĩ we, na nĩtũgũkũigua, no tiga kũreka twarĩrio nĩ Ngai, tũtigakue.”
and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.
20 Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Ngai okĩte kũmũgeria, nĩgeetha mũtũũre mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, mwagage kwĩhia.”
And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.
21 Andũ acio magĩgĩikara o haraaya, nowe Musa agĩthengerera harĩa haarĩ nduma ndumanu, harĩa Ngai aarĩ.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.
22 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũndũ ũyũ: ‘Nĩmweyonera inyuĩ ene atĩ ndaaria na inyuĩ ndĩ o igũrũ:
And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 Mũtikanathondeke ngai ingĩ cia kũhooyagwo hamwe na niĩ; mũtikanethondekere ngai cia betha kana ngai cia thahabu.
You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.
24 “‘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.
You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.
25 Mũngĩnjakĩra kĩgongona kĩa mahiga, mũtigagĩake na mahiga marĩa maacũhie, nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgaatũmĩra kĩndũ gĩa gwacũhia nĩmũgagĩthaahia.
And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.
26 Mũtikanahaice kĩgongona gĩakwa na ngathĩ, nĩguo njaga yanyu ndĩkanonekanĩre ho.’
You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
