Eksodosy 20
1 Dia nilaza izao teny rehetra izao Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe:
God 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 Yahweh 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 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 yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens 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;
you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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 loving kindness to thousands of those 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.
“You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 Mahatsiarova ny andro Sabata hanamasina azy.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Henemana no hiasanao sy hanaovanao ny raharahanao rehetra.
You shall labor six days, and do 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 the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger 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 Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
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, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives 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 give 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 your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’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.
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed 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.
They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let 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.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Dia nijanona teny lavitra eny ny olona, fa Mosesy kosa nanakaiky ny aizim-pito, izay nitoeran’ Andriamanitra.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Koa aza manao andriamanitra volafotsy na andriamanitra volamena ho anareo ho fanampiko.
You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
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 of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name 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.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Ary aza asiana ambaratonga hiakaranao ho eo amin’ ny alitarako, mba tsy ho hita eo ny fitanjahanao.
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
