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 Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 Aza manana andriamani-kafa, fa Izaho ihany.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides 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 to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath 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 thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
6 nefa kosa mamindra fo amin’ ny olona arivo mandimby izay tia Ahy ka mitandrina ny didiko.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who 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 utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Mahatsiarova ny andro Sabata hanamasina azy.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
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 Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who 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, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh 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 prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Aza mamono olona.
Thou shalt not commit 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 testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
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 servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy 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, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, 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—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Dia nijanona teny lavitra eny ny olona, fa Mosesy kosa nanakaiky ny aizim-pito, izay nitoeran’ Andriamanitra.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 Koa aza manao andriamanitra volafotsy na andriamanitra volamena ho anareo ho fanampiko.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye 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.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and 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.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned 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, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
