Thaama 20
1 Nake Ngai akĩaria ciugo ici ciothe, akiuga atĩrĩ:
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, kuuma bũrũri wa ũkombo.
"I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Ndũkanagĩe na ngai ingĩ tiga niĩ.
Do not have other gods before 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.
"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:
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 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,
6 no ngonania wendo kũrĩ njiarwa ngiri na ngiri cia andũ arĩa manyendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani makwa.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “Ndũkanagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku na itherũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatua atĩ mũndũ ndehĩtie ũrĩa ũgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake na itherũ.
"Do not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who 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 may labor, and do 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 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;
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 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.
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, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
13 “Ndũkanoragane.
"Do not commit adultery.
14 “Ndũkanatharanie.
"Do not murder.
15 “Ndũkanaiye.
"Do not steal.
16 “Ndũkanaigĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ kĩgeenyo.
"Do not give false testimony 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.”
"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."
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 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.
19 na makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Twarĩrie arĩ we, na nĩtũgũkũigua, no tiga kũreka twarĩrio nĩ Ngai, tũtigakue.”
They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
20 Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Ngai okĩte kũmũgeria, nĩgeetha mũtũũre mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, mwagage kwĩhia.”
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."
21 Andũ acio magĩgĩikara o haraaya, nowe Musa agĩthengerera harĩa haarĩ nduma ndumanu, harĩa Ngai aarĩ.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick 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:
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.
23 Mũtikanathondeke ngai ingĩ cia kũhooyagwo hamwe na niĩ; mũtikanethondekere ngai cia betha kana ngai cia thahabu.
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for 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 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.
25 Mũngĩnjakĩra kĩgongona kĩa mahiga, mũtigagĩake na mahiga marĩa maacũhie, nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgaatũmĩra kĩndũ gĩa gwacũhia nĩmũgagĩthaahia.
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.
26 Mũtikanahaice kĩgongona gĩakwa na ngathĩ, nĩguo njaga yanyu ndĩkanonekanĩre ho.’
Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
