Eksodosy 20

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

And the Lord spoke all these words:

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 led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.

3 Aza manana andriamani-kafa, fa Izaho ihany.

You shall not have strange gods before 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 for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which 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 adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

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

and showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my precepts.

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 will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.

8 Mahatsiarova ny andro Sabata hanamasina azy.

Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.

9 Henemana no hiasanao sy hanaovanao ny raharahanao rehetra.

For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.

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 the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates.

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 heaven and earth, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified it.

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

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

13 Aza mamono olona.

You shall not murder.

14 Aza mijangajanga.

You shall not commit adultery.

15 Aza mangalatra.

You shall not steal.

16 Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga hanameloka ny namanao.

You shall not speak false testimony against your neighbor.

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 the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”

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.

Then all the people considered the voices, and the lights, and the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain. And being terrified and struck with fear, they stood at a distance,

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.

saying to Moses: “Speak to us, and we will listen. Let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we may 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 said to the people: “Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.”

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

And the people stood far away. But Moses approached toward the mist, in which was God.

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

Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: “This you shall say to the sons 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 gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.

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 an altar from the earth for me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace-offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be. I will come to you, and I will 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 make an altar of stone for me, you shall not build it from cut stones; for if you lift up a tool over it, it will be defiled.

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

You shall not ascend by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be revealed.”
