Eksodosy 20
1 Dia nilaza izao teny rehetra izao Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe:
And God spake 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 thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Aza manana andriamani-kafa, fa Izaho ihany.
Thou shalt have none other 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.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor [the likeness of] any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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;
thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 nefa kosa mamindra fo amin’ ny olona arivo mandimby izay tia Ahy ka mitandrina ny didiko.
and shewing mercy unto thousands, of them that love me and 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.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh 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 shalt thou labour, and do all thy 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 the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy 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, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath 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 thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Aza mamono olona.
Thou shalt do no murder.
14 Aza mijangajanga.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Aza mangalatra.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga hanameloka ny namanao.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy 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.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
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 saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, 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 they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with 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 said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye 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 drew near unto the thick 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 unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Koa aza manao andriamanitra volafotsy na andriamanitra volamena ho anareo ho fanampiko.
Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
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.
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.
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 thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 Ary aza asiana ambaratonga hiakaranao ho eo amin’ ny alitarako, mba tsy ho hita eo ny fitanjahanao.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
