1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Icũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere, na nĩngũciandĩka ciugo iria ciaandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ iria cia mbere, iria woragire.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Wĩhaarĩrie rũciinĩ, ũcooke wambate kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Ũrũgame mbere yakwa hau kĩrĩma igũrũ.
Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
3 Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkwambatania hamwe nawe kana onekane handũ o hothe kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ; o na gũtikagĩe ndũũru cia mbũri kana cia ngʼombe ingĩrĩithio kũu mbere ya kĩrĩma.”
No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩicũhia ihengere igĩrĩ cia mahiga o ta iria cia mbere na akĩroka kwambata kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai rũciinĩ tene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; agĩthiĩ akuuĩte ihengere icio igĩrĩ na moko.
So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
5 Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ itu-inĩ, akĩrũgama hau harĩ we, na akĩanĩrĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake, Jehova.
And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
6 Agĩkĩhĩtũkĩra mbere ya Musa akĩanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, Jehova, Ngai ũrĩa mũcaayanĩri na mũtugi, ũtahiũhaga kũrakara, ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendani na wĩhokeku,
Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
7 ũtũũragia wendani kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, na akohanagĩra waganu, na ũremi, o na mehia. No rĩrĩ, ndaagaga kũherithia arĩa mehĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana na ciana ciacio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao, nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.”
maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
8 Musa agĩkĩinamĩrĩra thĩ o rĩmwe, akĩhooya.
Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
9 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku, ndagũthaitha Mwathani twarana na ithuĩ. O na gũtuĩka aya nĩ andũ momĩtie ngingo-rĩ, tuohere waganu witũ o na mehia maitũ, na ũtũme tũtuĩke igai rĩaku.”
“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
10 Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Nĩndĩrĩĩkaga morirũ matarĩ mekwo rũrĩrĩ-inĩ o na rũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe mbere ya andũ aya aku othe. Andũ arĩa mũtũũranagia nao nĩmakeyonera ũrĩa niĩ, Jehova, ngeeka ũndũ wa kũmakania nĩ ũndũ waku.
And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
11 Athĩkĩra ũrĩa ngũgwatha ũmũthĩ. Nĩngarutũrũra Aamori, na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi na Ajebusi mbere yaku makweherere.
Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Wĩmenyerere ndũkagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio ũrathiĩ, matigatuĩke mũtego harĩwe.
Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
13 Nĩmũkoinanga igongona ciao, na mũthethere mahiga mao maamũre, na mũtemange itugĩ ciao cia Ashera.
Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
14 Mũtikanahooe ngai ĩngĩ o na ĩrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Mũigua Ũiru, nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru.
For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Mwĩmenyererei mũtikagĩe kĩrĩĩko na andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio; nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa maahũũra ũmaraya na ngai ciao na magacirutĩra iruta, nĩmarĩmwĩtaga, na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩrĩĩaga indo cia magongona macio mao.
Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
16 Na rĩrĩa mũngĩthuura airĩtu amwe ao matuĩke atumia a aanake anyu, nao airĩtu acio mahũũre ũmaraya na ngai ciao, nĩmakonereria ariũ anyu gwĩka ũguo.
And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
17 “Ndũkanathondeke mĩhianano ya gũtwekio.
You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
18 “Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Handũ-inĩ ha mĩthenya mũgwanja, rĩĩagai mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, o ta ũrĩa ndaamwathire. Ĩkagai ũndũ ũyũ ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya mweri-inĩ wa Abibu, nĩgũkorwo nĩguo mweri ũrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “Irigithathi rĩa nda o yothe nĩ rĩakwa, hamwe na marigithathi mothe ma njamba ma mahiũ manyu, marĩ ma kuuma ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe kana cia mbũri.
The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
20 Irigithathi rĩa ndigiri ũrĩrĩkũũraga na gatũrũme, no ũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra, riune ngingo. Nao ariũ aku a marigithathi ũmakũũrage. “Gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩũkaga mbere yakwa moko matheri.
You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “Rutaga wĩra mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja ũhurũkage; o na hĩndĩ ya icimba na ya magetha no nginya ũhurũke.
Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
22 “Kũngũyagĩra Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Ciumia, na maciaro ma mbere ma magetha ma ngano, na Gĩathĩ-gĩa-Gũcookereria irio makũmbĩ-inĩ mũthia-inĩ wa mwaka.
And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
23 Arũme anyu othe no nginya mokage mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, maita matatũ o mwaka.
Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24 Nĩngarutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ imweherere, na nĩnganenehia mĩhaka ya bũrũri wanyu na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacumĩkĩra bũrũri wanyu rĩrĩa mũrĩkoragwo mũkĩambata maita matatũ o mwaka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu.
For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
25 “Ndũkanandutĩre thakame ya igongona ĩtukanĩte na kĩndũ gĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, na mũtikanareke kĩndũ kĩa igongona rĩa Bathaka kĩraare nginya rũciinĩ.
Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
26 “Rehagai maciaro ma mbere marĩa mega mũno ma mĩgũnda yanyu, mũmarehage nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai wanyu. “Mũtikanaruge koori na iria rĩa nyina.”
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ciugo ici, nĩgũkorwo kũringana na ciugo ici, nĩndagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nawe o na Isiraeli.”
The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 Musa aikarire na Jehova hau matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ, atekũrĩa irio kana akanyua maaĩ. Na agĩkĩandĩka ihengere-inĩ icio ciugo cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na nĩcio Maathani marĩa Ikũmi.
So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
29 Rĩrĩa Musa aikũrũkire kuuma kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai arĩ na ihengere igĩrĩ cia Ũira moko-inĩ make, ndaamenyaga atĩ ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga nĩ ũndũ nĩarĩtie na Jehova.
And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
30 Rĩrĩa Harũni na andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire Musa, ũthiũ wake nĩwakengaga, nao magĩĩtigĩra kũmũkuhĩrĩria.
Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
31 No Musa akĩmeeta; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni na atongoria othe a mũingĩ magĩcooka harĩ we, nake akĩmaarĩria.
But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
32 Thuutha ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩmũkuhĩrĩria, nake akĩmahe mawatho mothe marĩa Jehova amũheete kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
33 Rĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũmaarĩria, akĩĩhumbĩra ũthiũ wake na taama wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ.
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 No rĩrĩa rĩothe aatoonyaga harĩ Jehova maranĩrie, nĩarutaga taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya oime ho. Na rĩrĩa oka kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli na aameera ũrĩa aathĩtwo,
But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
35 makona ũthiũ wake o ũkengete. Nake Musa agacookia taama ũcio wa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ agaathiĩ kwaria na Jehova.
and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
