Eksodosy 20
1 Le nanao o hene tsara zao t’i Andrianañahare:
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
2 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nampieng’ azo an-tane Mitsraime boak’ an-trañom-pandrohizañe ao.
“I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
3 Ko ho aman-drahare hatovoñ’ ahy irehe.
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
4 Ko mandranjy raham-pahasive, ndra saren’ inoñ’ inoñe andikerañe ambone eñe, ndra an-tane ambane atoy, ndra an-drano ambane tane ao.
You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
5 Ko ibokobokoa’o ndra itoroña’o; fa Andrianañahare mpamarahy iraho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, mpandilo anake ty amo hakeon-drae’eo pak’ an-tarira’e fahefatse naho fahatelo’ o tsy mañaoñe Ahikoo,
You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
6 vaho mampiboake fikokoa-migahiñe ami’ ty tariratse fah’ arivo’ o mpikoko ahiko naho mañàmbeñe o lilikoo.
But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
7 Ko vavè’o tsy vente’e ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, amy te tsy hihevea’ Iehovà ze mivave i tahina’ey ami’ty tsy fanjofaha’e.
Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
8 Tiahio ty andro Sabotse hañavaheñe aze.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
9 Eneñ’ andro ty hitoloña’o hanao ze hene tolon-draha’o.
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
10 Fe Fitofàñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty andro fahafito; ko mitoloñ’ ama’e irehe; ihe, ndra ty ana-dahi’o ndra ty anak’ampela’o ndra ty ondevo’o lahy naho ampela, ndra o hare’oo ndra o renetane mpimoneñe an-dalambei’oo.
but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
11 Amy te eneñ’ andro ty namboare’ Iehovà o likerañeo naho ty tane toy naho i riakey naho ze hene am’ iereo ao vaho nitroatse ami’ty andro faha-fito; le nitahie’ Iehovà ty andro Sabotse vaho nimasiñe’e.
I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
12 Miasia an-drae’o naho an-drene’o soa t’ie ho lava ohatse an-tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
13 Ko mañe-doza.
Do not murder anyone.
14 Ko mañarapilo.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
15 Ko mampikametse.
Do not steal anything.
16 Ko mitalily vilañe ondaty.
Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
17 Ko mihàñe ty anjomba’ ondaty; ko mikiroke ty vali’ondaty, ndra ty mpitoro’e lahilahy ndra ampela, ndra ty añombe’e ndra ty birike’e ndra inoñ’inoñe amo fanaña’ ondatio.
Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
18 Niisa’ ondatio o fipazakeo naho o helatseo naho ty hamatsiaña’ i antsivay naho i vohitse nañatoeñey, toe nahaisake ondatio le nititititike naho nijohañe ey avao,
When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
19 vaho nanao ty hoe amy Mosè, Misaontsia ama’ay, le ho janjiñe’ay, fe ko ampitsarae’o ama’ay t’i Andrianañahare tsy mone hikoromake.
and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
20 Aa hoe t’i Mosè am’ondatio, Ko hembañe; ie hitsok’ anahareo ty nivotrahan’ Añahare, hañeveña’ areo, tsy handilara’ areo.
Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
21 Fe nijohañe ey avao ondatio vaho nitotoke mb’amy filodolodoan-drahoñe nitoeran’ Anaharey ao t’i Mosè.
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
22 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè: Ty hoe ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo, Toe nioni’ areo ty nivolañako boak’ amo likerañeo:
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
23 Ko mamboatse saren-drahare volafoty hatovoñ’ ahy ndra mitsene saresaren-drahare volamena ho anahareo.
24 Kitrely tane ty hamboara’o ahy, le ama’e ty hisoroña’o o enga horoa’o naho o sorom-panintsiña’oo, o añondri’oo naho o añombe’oo; amy ze tane ampitiahiako ty añarako, le homb’ ama’o mb’eo iraho hitahy azo.
Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
25 Aa naho amboara’o kitrelim-bato le ko anoe’o am-bato finandrake; amy te mahativa aze te añoharam-pàndrake.
If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
26 Vaho ko mitroatse am-panongañe tsy mone hiboake ty heña’o.
Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
