Ọpụpụ 20
1 Chineke kwuru okwu ndị a niile sị:
And God spake all these words saying: —
2 “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼIjipt, bụ ala nke ibu ohu.
I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 “Ị gaghị enwe chi ọzọ tinyere m.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.
4 Gị emerela onwe gị arụsị a pịrị apị, nʼoyiyi nke ụdị ọbụla nke yiri ihe dị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nke yiri ihe dị nʼụwa, nʼokpuru ya maọbụ nʼime mmiri, nʼokpuru ụwa.
Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
5 Gị akpọla isiala nye ha, efekwala ha ofufe, nʼihi na Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, abụ m Chineke ekworo. Onye na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ahụhụ, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị mụrụ ha, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ, nke ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị.
thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
6 Ma na egosi ịhụnanya nye puku ọgbọ niile nke ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, bụ ndị na-edebe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Gị ejikwala aha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị eme ihe efu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị agụ onye ji aha ya eme ihe efu dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị.
Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Cheta ụbọchị izuike site nʼido ya nsọ.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
9 Nʼime ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eje ozi gị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ha ka ị ga-arụzu ọrụ gị niile.
Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
10 Ma ụbọchị nke asaa bụ ụbọchị izuike nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Ị gaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, gị onwe gị, nwa gị nwoke na nwa gị nwanyị, onye ọrụ gị nwoke, onye ọrụ gị nwanyị, maọbụ anụ ụlọ gị ọbụla, ọbụladị onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị.
but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
11 Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime ụbọchị isii ka Onyenwe anyị kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha. O zuru ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa. Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị gọziri ụbọchị nke asaa doo ya nsọ, ka ọ bụrụ ụbọchị izuike.
For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị, dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu, ka ụbọchị ndụ gị dị ogologo nʼala ahụ nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Gị egbula mmadụ.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
14 Gị akwala iko.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Gị ezula ohi.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Agbala ama ụgha megide onye agbataobi gị.
Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
17 Gị enwela anya ukwu nʼebe ụlọ onye agbataobi gị dị. Gị enwekwala anya ukwu nʼebe nwunye onye agbataobi gị dị, maọbụ ohu ya nwoke maọbụ ohu ya nwanyị, ehi ya maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼihe ọbụla nke onye agbataobi gị nwere dị.”
Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
18 Mgbe ndị Izrel hụrụ egbe eluigwe, na amụma ọkụ, na opi ike, hụkwa ugwu ahụ ka o jupụtakwara nʼanwụrụ ọkụ, ha mara jijiji nʼihi egwu. Ha guzoro nʼebe dị anya,
And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
19 sị Mosis, “Biko ka gị onwe gị gwa anyị okwu, anyị ga-anụ ma ka Chineke gharakwa ịgwa anyị okwu, ma ọ bụghị ya, anyị ga-anwụ.”
And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, —but let not God speak with us lest we die.
20 Mosis sịrị ndị Izrel, “Unu atụkwala ụjọ, nʼihi na Chineke bịara ịnwale unu ime ka unu na-atụ ya egwu mgbe ọbụla ka unu ghara imehie megide ya.”
And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Nʼihi nke a, mmadụ niile guzoro nʼebe dị anya site nʼugwu ahụ. Ma Mosis bara nʼime igwe ojii ahụ, ebe Chineke nʼonwe ya nọ.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
22 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị, ‘Unu onwe unu ahụla na m si nʼeluigwe gwa unu okwu.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 Unu emerela onwe unu chi ọzọ tinyere m, chi ọlaọcha maọbụ chi ọlaedo. Unu emerela onwe unu ha.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
24 “‘Ebe ịchụ aja unu ga-ewuru m ga-abụ nke unu ji naanị aja wuo. Nʼebe ahụ ka unu ga-achụrụ m aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo. Unu ga-ejikwa igwe ewu na atụrụ, na ehi chụọrọ m aja. Unu ga-ewuru m ebe ịchụ aja naanị ebe ọbụla m mere ka aha m bụrụ ihe a na-asọpụrụ, nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-abịa gọzie unu.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
25 Ọ bụrụ na unu ewuo ebe ịchụ aja nkume, unu ejikwala nkume a wara awa, nʼihi na unu ga-eme ka ọ ghara ịdị nsọ ma ọ bụrụ na unu ejiri ngwa ọrụ wagharịa nkume ya.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
26 Unu ejila ihe nrigo gbagoro nʼebe ịchụ aja m, ka a ghara ikpughe ọtọ unu nʼelu ya.’
neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
