Ọpụpụ 34
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, “Wapụta mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka nke mbụ, aga m edekwasị nʼelu ha okwu niile nke dị nʼelu mbadamba nkume ndị mbụ ahụ, bụ nke ị tụpịasịrị.
The Lord told Moses, “Cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them again the same words that were on the first tablets—the ones you broke.
2 Jikere nʼụtụtụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị ka i chee onwe gị nʼihu m nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
Get ready in the morning, and then come up Mount Sinai. Stand before me there on the mountain top.
3 Onye ọbụla esokwala gị, ma ọ bụkwanụ nọdụ nso ugwu ahụ. Ekwekwala ka igwe ehi maọbụ igwe atụrụ kpaa nri nso nso ugwu ahụ.”
Nobody else can come up with you—I don't want to see anyone anywhere on the mountain, and no flocks or herds should graze at the foot of the mountain.”
4 Mosis biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ, waa mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka ndị nke mbụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya. Ọ jikwa nkume abụọ ahụ nʼaka ya.
So Moses cut out two stone tablets like the previous ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning as the Lord had ordered him, taking with him the two stone tablets.
5 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime ogidi igwe ojii, guzo nʼihu Mosis, kwupụta aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
The Lord descended in a cloud, stood there with him, and called out the name “Yahweh.”
6 O si nʼihu Mosis gafee na-ekwu na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ọmịiko na onye amara, onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ, na onye babigara ụba oke nʼịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi.
The Lord passed in front of him, calling out, “Yahweh! Yahweh! I am the God of grace and mercy! I am slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and always faithful.
7 Onye na-egosi ịhụnanya ya nye imerime puku, ma na-agbaghara ajọ omume na nnupu isi, na mmehie. Ma ọ dịghị ahapụ ka onye ikpe mara laa na-anataghị ahụhụ, ọ na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ha ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nna nna ha ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ.”
I go on showing my trustworthy love to thousands, forgiving guilt, rebellion, and sin. But I will not leave the guilty unpunished—the impact of sin will affect not only the parents, but also their children and grandchildren, up until the third and fourth generation.”
8 Otu mgbe ahụ, Mosis hulatara kpọọ isiala,
Moses quickly bowed down to the ground, and worshiped.
9 sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, Onyenwe m, ka Onyenwe m, biko soro anyị gaa. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, gbaghara anyị ajọ omume anyị, na mmehie anyị niile, ka ị nabatakwa anyị dịka ndị nke gị.”
He said, “Lord, if it's true that you're happy with me, please accompany us. Admittedly this is a rebellious people, but please forgive our guilt and sin. Accept us as specially belonging to you.”
10 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ onwe m na gị na-agba ndụ. Nʼihu ndị gị niile, aga m arụ oke ọrụ ịtụnanya dị ukwu, ụdị nke a na-emetụbeghị mbụ nʼụwa, maọbụ na mba ọ bụla. Ndị niile unu bi nʼetiti ha ga-ahụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ọrụ ahụ dị oke egwu nke m ga-arụ nʼihi unu.
The Lord said, “Look, I'm making an agreement with you. Right in front of all of you I will do miracles that have never been done before—not among anyone anywhere on earth. Everyone here and those around will see the Lord at work, for what I'm going to do for you will be incredible.
11 Debe ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu taa. Aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ ndị Amọrait, ndị Kenan, ndị Het, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus.
But you must carefully follow what I tell you to do today. Pay attention! I'm going to drive out ahead of you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ unu na-aba nʼime ya ghara ịgba ndụ. Ka ha ghara ị bụ ihe ịma nʼọnya nʼetiti unu.
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land where you are going. Otherwise they will become a trap for you.
13 Kama, tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha jiri mere chi ha.
For you must tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles,
14 Unu efela chi ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, onye aha ya bụ Ekworo, bụ Chineke na-ekwo ekworo.
because you must not worship any other gods than the Lord. His name stands for being exclusive, because he is a God who demands an exclusive relationship.
15 “Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ ghara ịgba ndụ, nʼihi na mgbe ha na-akwaso chi ha iko, na-achụkwa aja nye chi ha, ha ga-akpọ unu oku nri, mgbe ahụ, unu ga-eri site nʼihe aja ha.
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land, for when they prostitute themselves by worshiping and sacrificing to their gods, they will invite you to join them, and you will eat from their pagan sacrifices.
16 Mgbe unu lụtara ụfọdụ ndị inyom ha dịka nwunye nye ụmụ unu ndị ikom, ndị inyom ndị a na-akwaso chi ha iko, ga-eme ka ụmụ unu ndị ikom soro ha nʼomume dị otu a.
When you have their daughters marry your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons worship their gods in the same way.
17 “Unu akpụla chi ọbụla.
Don't make any idols for yourselves.
18 “Na-emenụ mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Rienụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa, dịka m nyere nʼiwu na a ga-eme nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ a họpụtara, nʼọnwa Abib, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼọnwa ahụ ka unu si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, as I ordered you to do. You are to do this at the specified time in the month of Abib, because that was the month when you left Egypt.
19 “Nwa nwoke ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke m, tinyere ụmụ anụ ụlọ, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ewu.
Every firstborn is mine. That includes all the firstborn males of your livestock from your cattle herds, and flocks.
20 E nwere ike ịgbapụta nwa oke ịnyịnya ibu site nʼiwere nwa atụrụ dochie nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ bụrụ na i kpebie na ị gaghị agbapụta ya, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-agbaji olu ya. Ma ụmụ unu ndị ikom niile ka a ga-agbapụta. “O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-abịa guzo m nʼihu na-ejighị onyinye.
You can redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you don't, you must break its neck. All your firstborn sons must be redeemed. No one is to come before me without an offering.
21 “Nʼoge ịkụ ihe nʼubi na nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, rụọnụ ọrụ naanị ụbọchị isii. Zukwanụ ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
You shall work for six days, but you shall rest on the seventh day. Even during the times of sowing and harvest you shall rest.
22 “Mee Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa, bụ nke ị ga-eji mkpụrụ mbụ nke ọka wiiti mee, na Mmemme Nchịkọta Ihe nʼọgwụgwụ afọ ọbụla.
Observe the Festival of Weeks when you offer the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Harvest Festival at the end of the agricultural year.
23 Ugboro atọ nʼafọ ka ndị ikom unu niile ga-abịa chee onwe ha nʼihu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nke Izrel.
Three times every year all your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
24 Nʼihi na aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ mba dị iche iche. Meekwa ka ala unu saa mbara. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-enwe anya ukwu nʼebe ala unu dị, mgbe unu na-aga iche onwe unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, ugbo atọ nʼafọ.
I will drive out the nations ahead of you and expand your borders, and no one will come and take your land when you go three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “Unu etinyekwala ihe ọbụla nke nwere ihe na-eko achịcha nʼime ya, mgbe unu na-achụ ọbara nke aja nye m. Unu ahapụkwala aja sitere na Mmemme Ngabiga ka ọ nọọ ruo ụtụtụ.
Don't offer bread made with yeast when you present a sacrifice to me, don't keep any sacrifice from the Passover Feast until the morning.
26 “Wetanụ mkpụrụ mbụ niile nke ala ubi unu, bụ ndị kachasị mma nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu. “Unu esikwala nwa ewu nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.”
When you harvest your crops, bring the firstfruits to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in milk from its mother.”
27 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Dee iwu ndị a m nyere gị, nʼihi na dịka okwu ndị a si dị, ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị na ụmụ Izrel gbara si dị.”
Then the Lord told Moses, “Write down these words, because these are the basis for the agreement I have made with you and with Israel.”
28 Mosis na Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Ma nʼoge ndị a niile o righị nri ọbụla. Ọ ṅụkwaghị ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla. O dere na mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ okwu niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, nke bụ iwu iri ahụ.
Moses spent forty days and forty nights there with the Lord without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote down on the tablets the words of the agreement, the Ten Commandments.
29 Mgbe Mosis ji mbadamba nkume abụọ nke ihe ama ahụ na-arịdata site nʼelu ugwu ahụ, ọ mataghị na ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke, nʼihi ọnọdụ nke ọ nọrọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two tablets of the Law, he didn't realize that his face was shining brightly because he had been speaking with the Lord.
30 Nʼihi mgbuke ahụ ihu Mosis na-egbuke, ụjọ ekweghị Erọn na ụmụ Izrel bịaruo ya nso.
When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses with his face shining so brightly they were frightened to approach him.
31 Ma Mosis kpọrọ ha ka ha bịakwute ya. Nʼihi ya, Erọn na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel bịara ka ha na Mosis kparịtaa ụka.
But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the community leaders went over to him, and he talked with them.
32 Mgbe e mesịrị, ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere ya. O nyekwara ha iwu ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị.
Afterwards all the Israelites came over and he gave them all the Lord's instructions he'd received on Mount Sinai.
33 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ha okwu, o weere akwa kpuchie ihu ya.
After Moses finished talking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Ma mgbe ọbụla ọ na-abanye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka ha kparịtaa ụka nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, ọ na-ekepụ akwa ahụ o ji kpuchie ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ nọchara pụta. Mgbe ọ pụtara, ọ na-agwa ndị Izrel ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
However, whenever Moses went in to talk with the Lord, he would take off the veil until he came out again. Then he would tell the Israelites the Lord's instructions,
35 Ha hụkwara na ihu ya na akpụkpọ ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke. Emesịa, Mosis na-ekpuchikwa ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-abanye nʼime ka ya na Onyenwe anyị kparịta ụka.
and the Israelites would see his face shining brightly. So he would put the veil over his face until the next time he went to talk with the Lord.
