Eksodosy 20

1 Dia nilaza izao teny rehetra izao Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

2 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana.

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Aza manana andriamani-kafa, fa Izaho ihany.

You shall have no other gods beside me.

4 Aza manao sarin-javatra voasokitra ho anao, na ny mety ho endriky ny zavatra izay eny amin’ ny lanitra ambony, na izay etỳ amin’ ny tany ambany, na izay any amin’ ny rano ambanin’ ny tany.

You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

5 Aza miankohoka eo anatrehany, ary aza manompo azy; fa Izaho, Jehovah Andriamanitrao, dia Andriamanitra saro-piaro ka mamaly ny heloky ny ray amin’ ny zanaka hatramin’ ny zafiafy sy ny zafindohalika, dia amin’ izay mankahala Ahy;

You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

6 nefa kosa mamindra fo amin’ ny olona arivo mandimby izay tia Ahy ka mitandrina ny didiko.

and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.

7 Aza manonona foana ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; fa tsy hataon’ i Jehovah ho tsy manan-tsiny izay manonona foana ny anarany.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

8 Mahatsiarova ny andro Sabata hanamasina azy.

Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.

9 Henemana no hiasanao sy hanaovanao ny raharahanao rehetra.

Six days you shall labour, and shall perform all your work.

10 Fa Sabatan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny andro fahafito; koa aza manao raharaha akory ianao amin’ izany, na ny zanakao-lahy, na ny zanakao-vavy, na ny ankizilahinao, na ny ankizivavinao na ny biby fiompinao, na ny vahininao izay tafiditra eo am-bavahadinao.

But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.

11 Fa henemana no nanaovan’ i Jehovah ny lanitra sy ny tany sy ny ranomasina mbamin’ izay rehetra ao aminy, dia nitsahatra Izy tamin’ ny andro fahafito; izany no nitahian’ i Jehovah ny andro Sabata sy nanamasinany azy.

For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

12 Manaja ny rainao sy ny reninao mba ho maro andro ianao ao amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho anao.

Honour your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.

13 Aza mamono olona.

You shall not commit adultery.

14 Aza mijangajanga.

You shall not steal.

15 Aza mangalatra.

You shall not kill.

16 Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga hanameloka ny namanao.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

17 Aza mitsiriritra ny tranon’ ny namanao; aza mitsiriritra ny vadin’ ny namanao, na ny ankizilahiny, na ny ankizivaviny, na ny ombiny, na ny borikiny, na izay mety ho an’ ny namanao akory aza.

You shall not covet your neighbour's wife; you shall not covet your neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbour.

18 Ary ny olona rehetra nandre ny kotrokorana sy ny feon’ ny anjomara ary nahita ny helatra sy ny tendrombohitra nivoa-tsetroka, ary nony nahita izany ny olona, dia toran-kovitra izy ka nijanona teny lavitra eny.

And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

19 Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Mosesy: Aoka ihany ianao no hiteny aminay, dia hihaino izahay; fa aza Andriamanitra no miteny aminay, fandrao maty izahay.

and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.

20 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny olona: Aza matahotra; fa tonga Andriamanitra mba hizaha toetra anareo, ary mba ho eo anatrehan’ ny tavanareo ny fahatahorana Azy, mba tsy hanotanareo.

And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be amongst you, that you sin not.

21 Dia nijanona teny lavitra eny ny olona, fa Mosesy kosa nanakaiky ny aizim-pito, izay nitoeran’ Andriamanitra.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

22 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Izao no lazaonao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Hianareo efa nahita fa tany an-danitra no nitenenako taminareo.

And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23 Koa aza manao andriamanitra volafotsy na andriamanitra volamena ho anareo ho fanampiko.

You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.

24 Alitara tany no hataonao ho Ahy, ka haterinao eo amboniny ny fanatitra doranao sy ny fanati-pihavananao, dia ny ondry aman’ osinao sy ny ombinao; eo amin’ ny fitoerana rehetra izay ampahatsiarovako ny anarako no hanatonako anao sy hitahiako anao.

You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.

25 Ary raha alitara vato no hataonao ho Ahy, dia aza ny vato voapaika no hanaovanao azy; fa raha manainga ny fandrakao ho aminy ianao, dia handoto azy.

And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.

26 Ary aza asiana ambaratonga hiakaranao ho eo amin’ ny alitarako, mba tsy ho hita eo ny fitanjahanao.

You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
