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.
And Yahweh said unto Moses—Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, —and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;
2 Jikere nʼụtụtụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị ka i chee onwe gị nʼihu m nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
and be thou ready by the morning, —and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;
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.”
and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, —and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that 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 he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and took in his hand two tables of stone.
5 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime ogidi igwe ojii, guzo nʼihu Mosis, kwupụta aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and took his station with him there, —and proclaimed himself by 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.
So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, —Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:
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.”
Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons’ sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.
8 Otu mgbe ahụ, Mosis hulatara kpọọ isiala,
Then Moses made haste, —and bent his head towards the earth and bowed himself down;
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.”
and said—If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, —although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.
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.
And he said—Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant, -in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, —so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.
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.
Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, —behold me! driving out from before thee—the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
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.
Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, —Lest he become a snare in thy midst;
13 Kama, tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha jiri mere chi ha.
For their altars, shall ye smash, And their pillars, shall ye shiver, —And their sacred-stems, shall ye fell.
14 Unu efela chi ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, onye aha ya bụ Ekworo, bụ Chineke na-ekwo ekworo.
For thou shalt not bow thyself down to another GOD, —For as for Yahweh, Jealous, is his name, A jealous GOD, he is:
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.
Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, —And then as surely as they go unchastely after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, So surely will he invite thee, And thou wilt eat of his sacrifice;
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.
And thou wilt take of his daughters for thy sons, —And his daughters will go unchastely after their gods, And will cause thy sons to go unchastely after their gods.
17 “Unu akpụla chi ọbụla.
Molten gods, shalt thou not make to thee.
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.
The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep, seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, which I commanded thee, at the set time, in the month Abib, —for in the month Abib, camest thou forth out of Egypt.
19 “Nwa nwoke ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke m, tinyere ụmụ anụ ụlọ, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ewu.
Every one that is the first to be born, is mine, —and every one of thy cattle that is born a male, firstling of oxen or sheep.
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.
But the firstling of an ass, thou mayst redeem with a lamb, and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck. Every firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou redeem, and he must not see my face, with empty hand.
21 “Nʼoge ịkụ ihe nʼubi na nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, rụọnụ ọrụ naanị ụbọchị isii. Zukwanụ ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
Six days, shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day, shalt thou rest, —in plowing time and in harvest, shalt thou 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.
And the festival of weeks, shalt thou make to thee, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, —and the festival of ingathering, at the closing in of the 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 in the year, shall every one of thy males see the face of 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.
For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, —and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.
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.
Thou shalt not slay, along with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice, —neither shall remain to the morning, the sacrifice of the festival of the passover.
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.”
The beginning of the firstfruits of thy ground, shalt thou bring into the house of Yahweh, thy God, Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
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.”
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words, have I solemnized with thee, a covenant, 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.
So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.
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.
And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.
30 Nʼihi mgbuke ahụ ihu Mosis na-egbuke, ụjọ ekweghị Erọn na ụmụ Izrel bịaruo ya nso.
And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto 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.
So then Moses called unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the assembly returned unto him, —and Moses spake unto them.
32 Mgbe e mesịrị, ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere ya. O nyekwara ha iwu ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị.
And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
33 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ha okwu, o weere akwa kpuchie ihu ya.
And when Moses had made an end of speaking with them, he put over his face a veil:
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.
but, as often as Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he put aside the veil until he came out, —and, as often as he came out and spake unto the sons of Israel, that which he had been commanded,
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.
the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone, —so Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with him.
