12 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
13 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũũ: ‘No nginya mũrũmagie Thabatũ ciakwa. Rũrũ nĩruo rũgatuĩka rũũri gatagatĩ gakwa na inyuĩ njiarwa iria igooka, nĩguo mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmũtheragia.
“Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.
14 “‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ tondũ nĩ mũthenya mũtheru harĩ inyuĩ. Mũndũ ũngĩũthaahia no nginya ooragwo; mũndũ ũngĩruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.
15 Wĩra nĩũrutagwo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ theru ya Jehova ya andũ kũhurũka. Ũrĩa wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ no nginya ooragwo.
You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].
16 andũ a Isiraeli nĩmathĩkagĩre Thabatũ, mamĩkũngũyagĩre ĩtuĩke kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra njiarwa iria igooka.
You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.
17 Rũrũ nĩruo rũgaatuĩka rũũri gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a Isiraeli nginya tene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ombire igũrũ na thĩ na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ na mũthenya wa mũgwanja ndaigana kũruta wĩra, akĩhurũka.’”
It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”
18 Rĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkirie kwaria na Musa kũu igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, akĩmũnengera ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia Ũira, o ihengere icio cia mahiga, o icio ciandĩkĩtwo na kĩara kĩa Ngai.
