Ekoruhe 20
1 Na ka korerotia e te Atua enei kupu katoa, ka mea,
And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, naku koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.
I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Aua etahi atua ke atu mou ki mua i ahau.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
4 Kei hanga koe i te whakapakoko mou, i tetahi ritenga ranei o nga mea o te rangi i runga, o te whenua ranei i raro, o te wai ranei i raro i te whenua:
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 Kei koropiko koe ki ena mea, kei mahi ranei ki ena mea; ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko tou Atua, he Atua hae, e mea ana i nga hara o nga matua kia tau iho ki nga tamariki a te toru, te wha ra ano o nga whakatupuranga o te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;
thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;
6 E whakaputa aroha ana hoki ki nga mano, ki te hunga e aroha ana ki ahau, e whakarite ana i aku ture.
and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments.
7 Kei whakahuatia noatia e koe te ingoa o Ihowa, o tou Atua; e kore hoki a Ihowa e mea, he harakore te tangata e whakahua noa ana i tona ingoa.
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 Kia mahara ki te ra hapati, kia whakatapua.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe, e mea ai hoki i au mea katoa;
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
10 Tena ko te ra whitu, he hapati no Ihowa, no tou Atua: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi i reira e koe, e tau tama, e tau tamahine, e tau pononga tane, e tau pononga wahine, e au kararehe hoki, me tou tangata ke i roto i ou tatau;
but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;
11 E ono hoki nga ra i hanga ai e Ihowa te rangi, me te whenua, te moana, me nga mea katoa i roto, a okioki ana i te ra whitu: na reira i whakapaingia ai te ra hapati e Ihowa, a whakatapua ana.
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Kaua e patu.
Thou shalt not murder.
14 Kaua e puremu.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Kaua e tahae.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Kaua e whakapae teka ki tou hoa.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Kaua e hiahia ki te whare o tou hoa, kaua e hiahia ki te wahine a tou hoa, ki tana pononga tane ranei, ki tana pononga wahine ranei, ki tana kau ranei, ki tana kaihe ranei, ki tetahi mea ranei a tou hoa.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 A i kite te iwi katoa i nga whatitiri, i nga uira, i te tangi o te tetere, i te maunga hoki e paowa ana: a, i te kitenga o te iwi, ka wiri ratou, a tu rawa i tawhiti.
And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
19 A ka mea ratou ki a Mohi, Mau e korero mai ki a matou, a ka whakarongo atu matou; engari kaua te Atua e korero ki a matou, kei mate matou.
And they said unto Moses: 'Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
20 Na ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kaua e wehi: he whakamatau hoki i a koutou i haere mai ai te Atua, kia mau ai hoki tona wehi i o koutou kanohi, kei hara koutou.
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 A tu ana te iwi i tawhiti; ko Mohi ia, i whakatata ki te pouri kerekere i noho ai te Atua.
And the people stood afar off; but Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia penei tau kupu ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ka kite koutou kua korero ahau i te rangi ki a koutou.
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 Kei hanga koutou he atua ke atu ki toku taha; kei hanga koutou he atua hiriwa, he atua koura ranei, mo koutou.
Ye shall not make with Me — gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
24 Hanga he aata oneone maku, ki runga patu ai koe i au tahunga tinana, i au whakahere mo te pai, i au hipi, i au kau: i nga wahi katoa e whakamaharatia ai e ahau toku ingoa ka haere atu ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe.
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 cause My name to be mentioned I will come unto thee and bless thee.
25 A ki te hanga koe i te aata kohatu maku, kei hanga e koe ki te kohatu hahau; ki te hapai hoki koe i tau toki ki taua mea, kua whakanoatia e koe.
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 profaned it.
26 Kaua ano e piki na te arawhata ki toku aata, kei kitea koe i reira e tu tahanga ana.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
