Fitowa 20
1 Sai Allah ya faɗi waɗannan kalmomi ya ce,
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
2 “Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnka, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta.
“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].
3 “Ba za ka yi wa kanka waɗansu alloli ba sai ni.
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
4 Ba za ka yi wa kanka waɗansu alloli a siffar wani abu a sama a bisa, ko a ƙarƙashin ƙasa, ko a ƙarƙashin ruwa ba.
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.
5 Ba za ka durƙusa gare su, ko ka yi musu sujada ba. Gama ni, Ubangiji Allahnka mai kishi ne, nakan hukunta’ya’ya har tsara ta uku da ta huɗu na waɗanda suke ƙina,
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).
6 amma ina nuna ƙauna ga tsara dubbai na waɗanda suke ƙaunata, suke kuma kiyaye umarnaina.
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.)
7 Ba za ka yi amfani da sunan Ubangiji Allahnka a banza ba, gama Ubangiji zai hukunta duk wanda ya mai da sunansa banza.
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].
8 Ka tuna da ranar Asabbaci domin ka kiyaye ta da tsarki.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
9 Kwana shida za ka yi dukan aikinka,
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
10 amma rana ta bakwai Asabbaci ne ga Ubangiji, Allahnka. A ranar ba za ka yi wani aiki ba, ko kai, ko ɗanka, ko’yarka, ko bawa, ko baiwa, ko dabbarka, ko baƙon da yake zama tare da kai.
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.
11 Gama kwana shida Ubangiji ya halicci sama da ƙasa, da teku, da duk abin da yake cikinsu, amma ya huta a rana ta bakwai. Saboda haka Ubangiji ya albarkaci ranar Asabbaci, ya kuma mai da ita mai tsarki.
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].
12 Ka girmama mahaifinka da mahaifiyarka, domin ka yi tsawon rai a ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnka yake ba ka.
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.
13 Ba za ka yi kisankai ba.
Do not murder anyone.
14 Ba za ka yi zina ba.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
15 Ba za ka yi sata ba.
Do not steal anything.
16 Ba za ka ba da shaidar ƙarya a kan maƙwabcinka ba.
Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
17 Ba za ka yi ƙyashin gidan maƙwabcinka ba. Ba za ka yi ƙyashin matar maƙwabcinka ba, ko bawansa, ko baiwarsa, ko sansa, ko jakinsa, ko duk abin da yake na maƙwabcinka ba.”
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.”
18 Da mutane suka ga tsawa da walƙiya, suka ji karar ƙaho, suka kuma ga dutsen yana hayaƙi, sai suka yi rawar jiki don tsoro. Suka tsaya da nisa
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,
19 suka ce wa Musa, “Ka yi magana da mu da kanka, za mu kasa kunne. Amma kada Allah ya yi mana magana, don kada mu mutu.”
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.”
20 Musa ya ce wa mutane, “Kada ku ji tsoro, gama Allah ya zo don yă gwada ku, don ku riƙa girmama shi, don kuma kada ku yi zunubi.”
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.”
21 Sa’ad da mutane suka tsattsaya da nesa, sai Musa ya matsa kusa da girgije mai duhu, inda Allah yake.
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
22 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka faɗa wa Isra’ilawa wannan. ‘Kun gani da kanku cewa na yi magana da ku daga sama.
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.
23 Kada ku yi waɗansu alloli in ban da ni, kada ku yi wa kanku allolin azurfa ko na zinariya.
24 “‘Ku yi mini bagaden ƙasa, ku kuma miƙa mini hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama, za ku hadayar da tumakinku da awakinku da shanu. Duk inda na sa a girmama sunana, zan zo wurinku, in sa muku albarka.
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.
25 In kuka yi mini bagade dutse, kada ku gina shi da sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu, gama inda guduma ta taɓa duwatsun, sun haramtu ke nan.
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.
26 Kada ku gina wa bagadena matakala, domin kada yayinda wani yana hawa, mutane su ga tsiraicinsa.’
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.’”
