Baʼuu 20
1 Waaqni akkana jedhee dubbii kana hunda dubbate:
And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan Gibxii, biyya garbummaatii si baasee dha.
I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Ati ana malee waaqota biraa tokko illee hin qabaatin.
Thou shall have no other gods before me.
4 Ati bifa waan ol samii gubbaa yookaan gad lafa irra yookaan bishaan lafa jalaa keessa jiru kamiitiin iyyuu Waaqa tolfamaa ofii keetiif hin tolfatin.
Thou shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Isaaniif hin sagadin yookaan isaan hin waaqeffatin; ani Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa hinaafu kan sababii cubbuu abbootiitiif jedhee ijoollee warra na jibbanii hamma dhaloota sadii fi afuriitti adabee
Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 warra na jaallatanii ajajawwan koo eegan immoo hamma dhaloota kumaatti jaallatuu dha.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii akkasumaan hin dhaʼin; Waaqayyo warra akkuma argan maqaa isaa dhaʼan utuu hin adabin hin dhiisuutii.
Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 Guyyaa Sanbataa qulqulleessuudhaan yaadadhu.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Guyyoota jaʼa hojjedhu; hojii kee hundas hojjetadhu;
Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
10 guyyaan torbaffaan garuu sanbata Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii ti. Gaafas hojii tokko illee hin hojjetin; ati yookaan ilmi kee yookaan intalli kee yookaan hojjetaan kee yookaan xomboreen kee yookaan horiin kee yookaan alagaan magaalaa kee keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu homaa hin hojjetin.
but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,
11 Waaqayyo guyyaa jaʼa keessatti samii fi lafa, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hunda uumee guyyaa torbaffaatti boqoteetii. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Sanbata eebbisee qulqulleesse.
for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
13 Hin ajjeesin.
Thou shall not murder.
14 Hin ejjin.
Thou shall not commit adultery.
15 Hin hatin.
Thou shall not steal.
16 Ollaa keetti sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin.
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
17 Mana namaa hin hawwin. Niitii namaa yookaan hojjetaa isaa yookaan xomboree isaa yookaan qotiyyoo isaa yookaan harree isaa yookaan waan namaa kam iyyuu hin hawwin.”
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
18 Jarri hundinuus yommuu bakakkaa fi balaqqeessa, sagalee malakataatii fi tulluu aaru hubatanitti sodaadhaan hollatan. Isaan fagoo dhaabatanii
And all the people perceived 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 Museedhaan, “Ati mataan kee nutti dubbadhu; nu ni dhaggeeffannaa. Garuu Waaqni nutti hin dubbatin. Yoo kanaa achii nu ni dhumnaa” jedhan.
And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 Museen immoo saba sanaan, “Hin sodaatinaa. Akka Waaqa sodaachuun isin wajjin jiraatee cubbuu hojjechuu irraa isin eeguuf jedhee Waaqni isin qoruuf dhufeera” jedhe.
And Moses said to the people, Fear not, for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.
21 Yeroo Museen dukkana limixii iddoo Waaqni turetti dhiʼaatetti, namoonni fagoo dhaabatan.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Saba Israaʼelitti waan kana himi: ‘Akka ani samii irraa isinitti dubbadhe isin mataan keessan argitaniirtu;
And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus thou shall say to the sons of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 ana biratti waaqota kam iyyuu hin tolfatinaa. Waaqota meetii yookaan waaqota warqee hin tolfatinaa.
Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make to you.
24 “‘Biyyoo lafaa irraa iddoo aarsaa naa tolchiitii isa irratti qalma gubamu, aarsaa nagaa, hoolota kee, reʼoota keetii fi loon kee aarsaa dhiʼeessi. Ani iddoo akka maqaan koo itti yaadatamu godhu hundatti gara kee dhufee sin eebbisa.
An altar of earth thou shall make to me, and shall sacrifice on it thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I record my name I will come to thee and I will bless thee.
25 Yoo dhagaa irraa iddoo aarsaa naa ijaarte immoo dhagaa soofame irraa hin ijaarin; yoo meeshaadhaan isa tuqxe ni xureessitaatii.
And if thou make to me an altar of stone, thou shall not build it of hewn stones, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou have polluted it.
26 Akka qullaan kee isa irratti hin mulʼanneef gulantaadhaan iddoo aarsaa kootti ol hin baʼin.’
Neither shall thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
