Okuva 20
1 Awo Katonda n’ayogera ebigambo bino, n’agamba nti:
'And God speaketh all these words, saying,
2 “Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu Misiri, mu nsi gye mwafuulibwa abaddu.
I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
3 “Tobeeranga na bakatonda balala wabula Nze nzekka.
'Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
4 Teweekoleranga kintu kyonna ekyole ekifaanana n’ekintu kyonna ekiri waggulu mu ggulu, oba wansi ku nsi, oba ekiri mu mazzi agali wansi w’ensi.
'Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth.
5 Tobivuunamiranga so tobisinzanga. Kubanga, nze Mukama Katonda wo ndi Katonda wa buggya; mbonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakitaabwe n’ebya bajjajjaabwe okutuusa ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna ogw’abo abankyawa.
Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me,
6 Naye abo enkumi n’enkumi abanjagala era abakwata amateeka gange, mbalaga okwagala kwange okutaggwaawo.
and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7 Tokozesanga linnya lya Mukama Katonda wo ng’olayira ebitaliimu nsa; kubanga Mukama talirema kumusalira musango ne gumusinga omuntu oyo alayirira obwereere erinnya lye.
'Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
8 Olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti lujjukirenga era olutukuzenga.
'Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;
9 Kolanga emirimu gyo, ofaabiine mu nnaku omukaaga,
six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
10 naye olunaku olw’omusanvu ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Katonda wo. Ku lunaku olwo tokolerangako mulimu gwonna; ggwe, wadde mutabani wo, wadde muwala wo, wadde omuweereza wo omusajja, oba omuweereza wo omukazi, wadde ensolo zo, wadde omugenyi ali omumwo.
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, —
11 Kubanga mu nnaku omukaaga Mukama Katonda mwe yakolera eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja, ne byonna ebibirimu, n’awummulira ku lunaku olw’omusanvu. Mukama kyeyava awa omukisa olunaku olwa Ssabbiiti n’alutukuza.
for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.
12 Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa, olyoke owangaale mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa.
'Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
13 Tottanga.
'Thou dost not murder.
14 Toyendanga.
'Thou dost not commit adultery.
15 Tobbanga.
'Thou dost not steal.
16 Towaayirizanga muntu munno.
'Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
17 Teweegombanga nnyumba ya muliraanwa wo. Teweegombanga mukazi wa muliraanwa wo, newaakubadde omuweereza we omusajja, newaakubadde omuweereza we omukazi, wadde ente ye, oba endogoyi ye, oba ekintu kyonna ekya muntu munno.”
'Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour's.'
18 Awo abantu bwe baalaba okumyansa kw’eraddu, ne bawulira n’okubwatuka kw’eggulu awamu n’eddoboozi ly’akagombe, ne balaba n’olusozi nga lunyooka ne bakankana nga batidde nnyo. Ne bayimirira walako,
And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,
19 ne bagamba Musa nti, “Ggwe yogera naffe, tujja kubiwuliriza. Naye Katonda aleme kwogera naffe tuleme okufa.”
and say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
20 Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Temutya, kubanga Katonda azze kubagezesa, mumutyenga bulijjo, mulyoke muleme okwonoona.”
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces — that ye sin not.'
21 Abantu ne basigala nga bayimiridde walako, naye Musa n’asembera mu kizikiza ekikwafu Katonda mwe yali.
And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].
22 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Bw’oti bw’oba otegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mmwe bennyini mwerabiddeko nga njogera nammwe nga nsinziira mu ggulu.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye — ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;
23 Temwekoleranga bakatonda balala wendi; temwekoleranga bakatonda ba ffeeza oba bakatonda ba zaabu.
ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.
24 “‘Munkolere ekyoto eky’ettaka, muweereyo okwo ssaddaaka zammwe ezookebwa, n’essaddaaka olw’emirembe, ey’endiga zo n’ente zo. Mu buli kifo mwe nnaaleeteranga erinnya lyange okuweebwa ekitiibwa, nnajjanga ne mbaweera omwo omukisa.
'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.
25 Bwe munzimbiranga ekyoto eky’amayinja, temukizimbisanga mayinja mayooyoote, kubanga ekyuma bwe kirigakoonako kirigafuula agatasaanira kyoto kyange.
'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;
26 Ekyoto kyange temukizimbangako madaala, muleme okukiweebuula nga mulinnya amadaala.’”
neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
